    Its the worst top half too Bob. United running away with the title with what by their standards is a very mediocre team. A fact borne out by the performances in the Champions League this season.

    .....and by the way, betting draw no bet is for ****s.....its the equivalent of a tote place ya big gay boy!

    I wouldn't disagree stick, from what I've seen of you you seem to make glaring individual mistakes at crucial times, like that soft foul today, which cost you all 3, and you defensive display last week for all 3 goals. You don't mind when teams cut you open to score, but when there scoring from school boy mistakes it's hard to take. Another thing I read in the paper, is that you guys have had 3 penalties this season and missed all 3. Missing penalties doesn't just cost you a goal, but it gives the opposition's morale a big boost, and damages your own players :biggrin:

    Remy missed one against Fulham and look at that finish today!!! Taraabt has missed two and for all his nuances he is an artist when striking the ball. It makes no sense.
    I feel absolutely gutted by that today and I bet the players are also. Tough job for Harry to pick them up after that!

    Ha. <laugh>
    I could only see a Wigan win or a draw. 11/10 for one and a void for the other. Quite a decent bet really.

    We're poor compared to other Fergie sides. City are useless, as are Chelsea and Arsenal. Spurs are entertaining but have a weak squad and their first 11 isn't capable of beating the top two or three regularly. Yep, I think you're right. The whole division is rubbish this season.

    He sure does, the vultures are circling already. He can go at a knockdown price if we are relegated.

    Man Utd's team is not mediocre, and you can hardly use our Champions League failure as proof of that. We won our group after only 4 games, and had the 2nd best team in the world on paper Real Madrid by the bollocks before the referee wrongly sent Nani off.

    That decision has derailed our whole season, our players still haven't got over it, that's why we've struggled since. We could have accepted it if we were beaten fairly but when your robbed its hard to take :biggrin:

    Fingers crossed for Ryan Mania. What a difference twenty four hours can make in racing huh.

    AIR FORCE ONE has recently arrived at Woodway Farm. He is ridiculously well handicapped if the change of scenery and Lawney work their magic!

    You'll be alright now I think, there's to much dross below you for you to go down. 1 more win is probably all you need :biggrin:

    We will get that next week against the Mackems :)

    Man Utd have anything but a mediocre side Stick. And still have several that are improving whilst playing at a ridiculously high standard

    De Gea
    Rafeal
    Jones
    Smalling
    Cleverly
    Kagawa
    Büttner

    still getting better and then obviously the likes of RVP , Rooney, Vidic & more ;) may not be improving but already world class. But Ashlely Young is **** ;)

    That's a fair point Shergar but as a season ticket red I don't think our team is anywhere near those of the great Fergie teams.

    Our defence is chronically slow in the middle when Vidic or Rio get isolated albeit those two are still exceptional defenders. Evra has been on a downward spiral for 3 years. The younger defenders offer great hope. Rafael is excellent. Phil Jones will captain us and England within 4 years.

    Our midfield is entirely reliant on Carrick who has developed into the best midfielder in a English football by a distance. Our young midfielders are full of potential but Valencia has dropped off a cliff, Nani, albeit capable of genius, is unreliable, Young is woeful (Fergie's worst buy for me), Scholes and Giggs are not as good as they were in '99.

    The strike force sets us apart. RVP and Rooney with Chicarito and the outstanding Wellbeck (when not asked to score goals) are the best in the division and up there with the best 2 or 3 in Europe.

    De Gea is unfairly derided but if you watch a live match everything in his game is improving week on week. I have no doubt he's going to be the best keeper in the world when he's 30.

    De Gea is already WORLD CLASS it's absolute nonsense of the highest order that is printed every week. Maybe they should focus on watching real mistakes like Reina has been making all season <laugh>

    We 100% agree on Young. I'm yet to see him pick his head up and look for a player on our team.

    Wouldn't disagree with any of that Bob!

    The media witch hunt against De Gea really grinds my gears, he is the best keeper in the PL. He saves a higher percentage of shots at his goal than any other keeper in the league :biggrin:
