    True. God knows where it goes from here, I certainly wouldn't bet on it. I have to lean towards Leicester as they have far less other distractions than the rest of us.

    Unfortunately, if I was a gambler, I couldn't see past Arsenal.
    You've had your bad run and are equal on points with us and only 5 behind Leicester.
    We are going to have a bad run...we have just won 7, drew 1 and lost 1 out of our last 9 league matches so we are due for a bumpy patch...that's why I am watching United's results!

    Your game against each other on 5th March is looking like it will be the most significant fixture between the two clubs for several years ....

    The result between Leicester and Arsenal will be pivotal - win and we'll be only 2 points off. We definitely have a good chance but we have United away and Sp*rs away... after that though, things look a bit easier.. If we lose I think the title is all but gone... can't see us clawing back an 8 point gap. I will however draw your attention to a salient point:

    Last 3 games:

    Arsenal play Norwich (H) Manchester City (A) and Aston Villa (H)

    Leicester play Man Utd (A) Everton (H) Chelsea (A)

    Tottenham have Chelsea (A) Southampton (H) and Newcastle (A)

    Man City have Saints (A) Arsenal (H) Swans (A)

    If it came down to the wire, I think we'd have the advantage.

    With you and City to play each other I think it plays into Leicesters hands if they are still in it. I think they'll beat you in the upcoming match and it'll be all over for you anyway.

    Leicester's second to last game is against Everton not Swansea.

    Possibly. However, Norwich especially may well need a result to avoid relegation. If so, they'll fight tooth and nail. I expect villa to be dead and buried by then, but if not!.....

    Thing is ... it's impossible to tell ... if Villa are dead and buried they might well play without any pressure and be a hell of a lot better ... in simple terms you just need to turn up and play your own game ... if you get beat having done that ... that's just football.

    <laugh>. I just KNEW that was coming! What took you so long?

    We, if it's in that font of all football knowledge, The Sun, it must be all true. Everybody knows that!

  13. Pixie has predicted that Poch will desert us at the end of the season, so he is acutely fixated on any snipped that tends to back up his fcuked-witted assertion. The fact that only The Sun is carrying the "story" doesn't seem to give him any clues.

    Reading that "article," I love the way that the hack spouts sensationalistic clap-trap for about a 120 words, and then ends with this line:-

    "Poch is under contract until 2019 and Spurs want to offer him a new improved deal."

    A real journalist would have begun with that headline - since it is the only factual part in the piece - and then would have used the rest of the editorial to **** himself off fantasising what it would be like for United if they ever managed to find themselves a manager like Poch. Better yet, the hack could simply have done a piece about how well Poch is doing at Spurs, and how we have clearly overtaken United.

    Have you got any evidence to back up that claim ? :)

  15. It's been your wum-mantra for some time, now. We all know it, no use hiding or squirming.

    Im not hiding from anything. You seem to be hiding from providing any evidence to back up your claim that I have predicted 'poch will desert' Spurs at the end of the season.

    Are you able to back that claim up or is it going to be another bottle job ? :)

    You seem to have gone quiet all of a sudden HIAG.

    Are you searching for a quote where I have predicted that poch will desert Spurs at the end of the season ?

    HIAG has said that I have 'predicted poch will desert Spurs at the end of the season'

    But when I've asked him to back up his claim he seems to have deserted this thread :)

  20. No, I went to work, Pixie. Sometimes, I do have to work.
