    Ah yes, remember the 1-0 win, 2 seasons ago, it was a very big game again, as we were right in the mix for the title, and needed the win, which we got, unfortunately, our whole title challenge collapsed soon after when we got thumped 6-0 at Stamford Bridge the week after.

    Funny, considering you haven't beaten us in the last 3 meetings, with 2 losses, and a draw, one of which, was a ass kicking 3-0 victory in October. :).

    Yep, cant deny van Gaal has us playing ****. You had a very easy 25 mins against us in October, I don't think even van Gaal can have us that bad twice in one season <ok>

    You sure about that ? From where I'm standing he has every possibility of doing something like that again.

    Our next 3 games in the League will be crucial. United, Swansea, Spurs. 7/9 seems the more realistic target but IMO we can win all 3.

    I watched it. Celta got torn apart and they are no push overs. They beat Barca convincingly earlier this season.

    I think we can beat Barca at the Emirates, it's the result-performance at the Nou Camp that's going to be the problem.

    Depends on what Arsenal turns up. I do expect a fully motivated Arsenal for this one but it's always more pressure going into the first leg at home and not conceding. But the big question is, are we playing well enough at the moment? On current evidence, we will need to perform much better to stand a chance, somethinfy we are capable of.

    The rivalry has been so much better since we've become more competitive. I'm sure lots of fans on both sides wouldn't want to be challenging for the title with their rivals but it would make for a brilliant end to the season if it comes down to our sides. It's not some BS about mutual respect, we still hate eachother with a passion but the rivalry is simply much better the better both sides do. Plus if you need someone to laugh at there's still always Chelsea :D

    I'm sure the neutrals will still want to see Leicester win it, and City definitely aren't out of it yet, but for drama the title being decided between North London on the final day would be unbeatable. Much like the Manchester showdown a few years back, only this time Kane will have the "AguerooOOO" moment <ok>

    It would make for great drama and obviously topped off when Arsenal take the title of course <ok>.
