    Oh such an angry boy! Most United supporters (including myself) never expected us to be competing in any way for the title this year. What i have said is nothing more than the truth, the title this season will be decided between City and Chelsea. I can`t see anyone other than Arsenal getting third at this point but you are prone to collapsing around this time so the jury is still out on that. I don`t remember saying you have not improved this season but maybe you read things different to most people.

    We are challenging for the title, whether we win it is a different story, but to say we aren't even challengers, as you're trying to insinuate, is just plain stupid.

    Oh, as for 'prone' to collapsing during this time, actually, we aren't, in the last 2 seasons it's been around end of February-March in which we put together a great run, we did it in the previous 2 seasons which got us 3rd (2012) and 4th (2013). So this argument that Arsenal are 'prone' to collapse around March time is not actually true, just because it may have happened in 1 or 2 different seasons doesn't mean it's a trend now. You need to start coming up with some proper and original arguments, rather than repeated old cliche arguments not even backed by facts.

    Maureen is a ****... plain and simple. I can't wait for him to start banging on about eggs again (that's when you know he has lost it)

    <laugh> That bizarre ramble about eggs may come back to haunt him once again. If the Mata sale was try and make a dent in the 50m losses they've just posted, then Jose is going to be making his omelettes using Lidl eggs in the future.

    Are you serious? At the start of the season United were the pundits and the fan favourites for the title. This is rewriting history. I accept that you should have known that United would be **** this year, but I didn't see any lack of optimism from United fans at the start of the season at all.

    Two other points, Arsenal have not collapsed the last 2 years, we have dramatically improved our form on the run in, and just because you can't bear to see Arsenal win a title, doesn't mean that it isn't going to happen. You are falling into pundit speak about Arsenal, "I can't think of a good reason why the team top of the table at the end of January can't win, so I'm just not going to give one".

    Here is Moyes still thinking you are favourites for the CL http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25328041.

    Here is Laudrup saying United are favourites http://metro.co.uk/2013/08/18/sir-a...ague-favourites-says-michael-laudrup-3928452/

    Here is RVP saying you are favourites http://talksport.com/football/man-united-clear-favourites-title-season-roars-rvp-13081155106

    You were well up there with Chelsea and City. Certainly vastly more pundits were picking United over Arsenal. If I got it a few points wrong between you Chelsea and City then I really don't care, I don't know of many pundits or fans who weren't picking that as their top 3.

    I certainly got the impression that the 3 teams were reasonably close favourites.

    Certainly wouldn't consider it a laughing matter, for a United fan, that you have a crap squad, and a crap manager, who has pissed away all your rebuilding money on two players that aren't going to do anything for you. LOL to you too!

    You think Mata will play in your upcoming cup game? You may have a chance at going for the Fa cup, you confident?

    Because we don't have the squad depth or the attacking power of City. Just because you're an Arsenal fan doesn't mean we can't acknowledge that City have a far more potent attacking squad than we do (Aguero, apart from Suarez, is the best striker in the league right now), and have the depth to keep going all the way through the season. Doubt we do ... we're already falling back on youngster Gnabry.

    If we win the title, it'll be nothing short of a shock of epic proportions. A nice shock, but a shock. But if the Stanimal can win the Aussie Open, then who knows?

    Jose is a bad looser, hope the Arsenal win the league, Liverpool Runners up, Everton third Chelski and Man City 5th and 6th, Southampton or Newcastle 7th and 8th. Good luck to Arsenal this year I (as a QPR fan) wolud like them to win the prem, FA Cup and Champions league. Used to like jose, when he left chelski, but joining madrid and returning to chelski plus his rants about other managers have turned me off him.

    I'd like it too but realistically it's going to be
    1-3. Arsenal, Chavski, City
    4-6. Everton, Pool, Spurs
    7-8. Newcastle, Manure
    9-20. The Rest

    Add to that Clive Tyldesley (well, kinda) and Jeff Stelling:

    Scott Murray and David Hynter of the Guardian:

    Robbie Savage and David Anderson at The Mirror, with six others predicting second:

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2395055/Premier-League-2013-14-preview-Sportsmail-experts-views.html

    To be fair to UiR, most went for Chelsea or City; however, very few predicted them to be outside the top three.

    He is, but I don't dislike Maureen simply because he has comedy value. He's one of those people who gets an audience, but doesnt realise that his appeal is his bizarre behaviour rather than what he's trying to say. He is beginning to remind me a bit of Arry in that way. <laugh>

    He is a hypocrite of the highest order. Complained about the pre-Christmas fixtures last year and accuses Wenger of doing the same (complaining) this year. Sometimes I wonder whether he remembers what he's said at all.
