    I know it was a good game and end to end and all that, but why can we not just grab a game by the scruff of the neck and win???

    Yes Molyneux is not an easy place to go if you are in the top 6 apparently but I'm so annoyed that after 2 games against Blackpool and Wolves, we have 1 point!!

    I agree, trips to Citah and Chelsea will be tough for us, normally we fail at places like Sunderland and Blackburn! now JD is firing again all is good!

    I can't wait for CL this week <diva>

    They park the bus and we do nothing to solve the problem

    It's been obvious since Stoke at home last season and yet we still don't know how to deal with it

    Keep th ball? I think thats how you keep a handle on the game and probes and fast counters, Spurs have the players so you gotta look at the coach and why these games are beyong him, A certain spanish manager seemed to have united and Chelsea's number but repeatedly lost and drew to Bolton Birmingham ect ect.

    Frustrating aint it.

    Yep, maybe "NEW BLOODY STRIKER" will sort it out, the Jimmy Greaves DVD's didn't.

    Man Utd know how to score against park the bus teams plus Berbatov is suited to being a lone striker while none of Spurs' strikers are.

    The two teams have a similar number of goals scored away from home but Utd have twice as much at home, although that is partly due to a couple of thrashings (Blackburn and Birmingham)

    Not sure about the players believing the hype, they can see their own goalscoring statistics.

    The Colonels right about the home and away stats.

    I think Man U are definitely more practised than us at getting a result when teams park the bus but not as good as in the past 15 years or so.
    We do lack the ruthless streak that Man U and Chelsea posess at times and I think we need to WIN ugly sometimes. We are good at drawing cos our defence is actually pretty good.

    I really don't know what the answer is as I feel if it was that simple and affordable then we would have done it by now.

    The full version is that he's an embarrassment to his fellow fans and completely lacking in brains and social skills

    I spent so much time on social kills I forgot to enter the tipping competitions

    I'm too far behind anyway and would have gotten the result wrong

    Only Spanners scored so it didn't cost you. You can still win Colonel but that no fly zone will make it tough!

    It seems we have swapped our difficulty in winning London derbies for winning against bottom 6. Can't bloody do it! A win in hand puts us 1 pt behind Man City though. Goal difference will hurt us in the end methinks.

    Too poor defensively. 3 shipped at Wolves, 3 at Blackpool, 4 at Bolton, etc, might cost you, and if it weren't for Man City's ability to win games despite being **** in 9 out of every 10 games they play, I'd say you would get 4th. However, I don't believe you will, which is a shame, as City will only embarass themselves by losing to Romania's 3rd place team or someone like that.

    We've won two games less than City with a game in hand and our having a far easier run in

    They have lost one game more

    'Tis true.

    I just hope we show our mettle like we did at the back end of last season.

    one thing is for sure, to be in with a chance we have to put in performances in the next 6 weeks and certainly beat Man City away on May 10.
