The RS are already talking of winning the title. They've done this almost every season for the last 26 years. This time is different they say
The deludeds never learn.

Me neither, its just a manc myth along with the likes of "Fergie wasn't going to get sacked and Mark Robbins goal didn't matter"

Folks, It's come to my attention that Liverpool have benefited from the most penalties in the PL era, despite playing dour defensive football and being also rans for most of it.
What do you make of this ?

you have too many accounts ?
and yeah of course we are dour and defensive despite having a crap defence for 4 years

I see you hold no objection to Liverpool being called also rans.
My thoughts on our upcoming game...
I really feel this could be a cracking game for the neutral and a real heart stopper for the fans of both clubs.
Much has been said about our defence and at times I think the media are harsh, yes there are problems but they are not as bad as reported, Clyne and Milner are solid enough full backs Matip has been brilliant (other than 45 mins v Swansea) but yes there is work to be done especially on set pieces. Going forward I don't need to say anything both midfield and the forwards have been brilliant and teams can't live with us.
Utd have had a slow-ish start but all of a sudden it seems to have clicked despite the draw last weekend, Fellani and Rooney benched Herrera is in and Pogba playing where he has more influence. Up top Ibra is influential and Rashford and Martial have pace and goals.
It would seem that with both teams the defence is where mistakes may happen so who wins?
Home advantage is huge for us but we also need to be calm and control the game, Coutinho is the key for me and we win or lose on his performance (no pressure) for me he is controlling the game for us and keeps us ticking over there may well be more eye catching performances but his simple passing and the way he ups the tempo with a pass or run is what will be the difference next weekend, if we get him on the ball and he controls the tempo we will win.
For Utd if they can get the ball to stick up top to Ibra that's where they will have some joy Rashfrod and Martial will cut in other than staying wide and if they can get on the ball in and around the box it would be a worry.
Looking forward to it and also can't wait for it to be over.

I think you'll beat us. That's not a jinx either. I just think you will.
Yeah, what he said.
Right now I would expect us to lose by two goals.
A lot was said about how we should have beaten Stoke, given the performance/chances.
Well, we didn't. Which sums up our current form & position.

Agreed. We aren't playing badly. I just don't think we've quite clicked yet. I still don't think Jose knows his best starting 11. Liverpool to me seem to be playing together very well. That said you were lucky to beat Swansea.
I don't know whether that's fair. They were better than us first half and missed a couple of decent chances. WE rogered them second half. I'm never confident against you lot. You've turned us over too many times.
