    I doubt the team or the manager will let it go after what happened last season but sure is not over till the season finish..
    QPR is a key game, we both need to win it , and if we win it, City will be demolized and may lose even more points facing Chelsea

    It's done with. You all know it pains me to say so, but you're too far ahead now and citeh aren't the team they were last season. You're the only team that's shown any level of consistency. I still don't think you've played that well, but then you didn't over the previous two seasons. It's a pretty damning indictment of the PL in my opinion.

    I'm dealing with it. You should just be enjoying it. Where's Little Comets by the way? He's not banned again is he?

    It's over.

    If Chelsea were in your position I'd be cautious as anything can happen but not only are you 12 points clear, City don't look capable of going the rest of the season without dropping more points.

    Apparently Paddy Power are paying out already, how often are bookies wrong?

    Shame for the neutrals, most one sided season I can remember.

    I think we all are cautious.. no one is celebrating yet, we are taking our games one by one regardless of what other teams do.. and that is what Sir Alex said yesterday
    lesson learned from last season the hard way and you can see how determined they were facing Everton
    QPR game will be a tough one as they will kill for a win .. if we lose it, City have some hopes

    He's now "606 not"

    They were wrong last season - PP and Betfred both paid out on Utd winning when we were eight points clear.

    This season is still a lot less one sided than 99/00 and 04/05. They were just ridiculous - a top quality Utd side scoring goals for fun and a relentless Chelsea side grinding out win after win after win. Those seasons were SAF and Mourinho at the pinnacles of their respective styles. We've been good this season, but those two seasons were something else.

    Might be worth a bet on QPR 0 0 Man Utd, really hope they dont use us as a springboard to push on in their relegation battle ala Liverpool last season. The Man City vs Chelsea game will be huge if results go against them the day before.

    if we can get 3 points there, West Ham and Stoke, we will do well to get that amount of points.

    Updated the table.

    Recent changes saw Spurs leapfrog Chelsea into third place.

    Ten matches left, apart from the City game we seem to have an easier run of fixtures over the next 5 games, and then City have an easier run of games for the final 5 fixtures of the season.

    With us out of the CL the team will hopefully take out all their frustration on the opponents and wrap up the PL title with a few games to go, and then they can focus on winning a long overdue FA Cup title. <ok>
