now thats the beauty of epl yet again making it self best league.we never know when the others is going to drop pts.the old saying of top 4/5 is gone these days.suddenly some one will score against those lot and us included and now as club youre back peddling in matches trying to chase it.

no match is easier then the next one.ppl might say we have this and that but it wont sway us a bit to go into games any different then getting 3 pts.

Both Chelsea and Pool re-strengthened their squad. Lets just hope that we have our motivation to drive all the way to May with this gap.

i doubt we lack the motivation after missing it by 1 pt last season and drawing matches and getting back on our stride this season.its there alright, now to carry it to may and at the same time to look out for europe and fa cup.

could it be that the team's desire not to lose has caused us to look to toothless in away games?? Til they score, we do not really whack kao kao, better play safe type?

Well motivation is there. But with more FA Cup fixtures and UCL as well, could really be make or break.

We aren't toothless, lack of focus from our defense actually costed us those points. But, lets put all of that behind us.

if that's the mentality of the players, then SAF's hairdryer is always there...

come on if we play not to lose then we wouldnt have a comeback win against blackpool...you can clearly see the desire in the players to win, i dont question them about that

it's because we started with the wrong tactics. even Sir Alex admitted that himself.

chelsea yes but not pool ... losing torres is a big bloody blow ... he a proven scorer in epl ...

lupa apa? awal2 oredi i post in this thread asking ppl to vote.

and i voted Giggs

we were losing and therefore the desire to push. Frankly in this few recent away games, i dun see the team being too lethal at the start of the gae

but thats for one game only right??

Tonight's Villa game could be very dangerous. With Bent on form, and that Friedel...

Yeah typical lar. They were rubbish just a few weeks ago and now facing us,they on top form.

On a separate note,chelsea really lucked out with those two signings. They barely had any issues with the torres transfer with the problems only coming from liverpool. Within 3-5 days everything was done and dusted,and with Luiz,i thought benfica really didnt want to sell him and in the end,he goes to chelsea anyway.

any info about tonight lineup??

i will say every epl match also dangerous ...

Friedel, god like mode on.... As always

Apparently a bit slowpoke about FA Cup draw against Crawley Town. TBH I feel uneasy facing those lower league teams, lol.

Still game against Villa is the one we should focus tonight. Still remember their 3-3 draw at Stamford Bridge before and their win against City.

QFT LOL

wow so much happened last nite...
liverpool got an overpriced signing (really overpriced) but it is one which they could build a team around imho and at their current stage, they are not much of a threat yet...
chelsea got torres and seeing how we'll play time at the end month, he have some time to gel up with the team...
i think currently our team is still more than enuff to get the title especially with park n co coming back soon...

Andy Carroll says Newcastle forced him out for the money

I know this isnt man utd related but just thought i would share. Andy Carroll says he didnt want to leave and mike ashley forced him out to get money. He has to be one of the worst owners ever.
