It does if you consider our away form. None of them look like 3 pts away from ethihad right now.

IT'S OVER...THE DREAM IS DEAD....I TOO CAN'T SEE THE RAGS DROPPING ANY POINTS IN THEIR NEXT NINE GAMES.

But then again....I couldn't see them dropping 2pts at the Brittania early in the season. Not just after they had beaten Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea. Neither did I see them dropping another 2pts against a shit Liverpool team and I certainly never reckoned they could collapse 1-6 against little fragile Citeh!
...and having recovered their form with 3 straight wins, I never saw them dropping 2pts at the swamp to Newcastle.
...then, with 5 wins on the bounce, scoring 17 goals and 0 against, I never saw them losing 2 out of two and dropping 6pts consecutively against a dead in the water Blackburn and a faltering Newcastle.
After a further 3 wins I never saw them only getting a point at Stamford Bridge either.
They now have 5 consecutive wins under their belts and only 9 games left to play. I CAN'T SEE THEM DROPPING ANY MORE POINTS.

I REALLY MUST GO TO FUCKING SPECSAVERS. It can't have been the invincible rags, It must just have been my fucking eyesight.

Absolutely.

Having said that, overall we have had brilliant season in league. I really couldn't have expected much more. It's just that rags are just way too lethal.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

If we wasnt ao shit on the road we would have walked it this season,if Mancini is still in charge next season he has to find the away formula or we will never win this league.

Won 7,lost 4, drawn 4 away from home, if uni*eds home form hadn't been so shit they would have walked the league, if my auntie had b*ll*x....blah, blah, blah. Grow a pair Lahad et al and man up, if it was so fuckin easy we'd be complaining of a lack competition.

Only 8 cup finals until the end of the season boys, buckle up and "enjoy" the ride.

Before yesterday, the last goal we scored away from home from open play was Balotelli against Chelsea...in December! That is why we won't win the league, we are hopeless on the road and far too lethargic and predictable.

Yeah but we're 2nd so no point mentioning it.

Lads I know we've improved a shitload but some of us think we've thrown it away. We need to lose this mindset of "well done, so close" and go for the fucking throat. 5 points clear we should have been going balls out to win it and send them fuckers hiding.

There is no denying that we have invited united back into pole position.

good point considering who was injured - in a better position now than when we lost in Wales.

Dronny ive got a pair but they have been crushed a lot on away days and are looking a bit shrivelled.
Ive also got a realistic pair right here and if anybody wants to use them please be my guest but they still have to go on the road to Arsenal,Norwich,Wolves and Newcastle and come away with all the points. NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

There's a difference between being pessimist and realist. United will 99% not drop points against Fulham. Sure it MIGHT happen but anyone saying that is saying in hope rather than expectation. I remember being shouted at on here for saying we wouldn't walk the league and that United would be there right till the end.

Yesterday was a game we simply had to win and we just didn't look like we wanted it enough.

Sure we have a game in hand, but there are also 8 games to play. Thats 24 points on the line. Do you honestly believe that the scum will take all 24 including vs. us at home?!

Some "fans" make me ashamed. Fear takes controls your life. We will win the league.


Blind optimism. 4 of those 8 games are away including arsenal and Newcastle. We will win our 4 home games. Win 1, draw 2 and lose 1 away.

Atleast the scum get to celebrate winning the league at the etihad though. That will be a nice little extra for shrek, wio, and taggart on top of fucking gifting them a trophy they would be out of if Mancini and the team had a pair of balls between them.

Those two games will be games of football with both teams trying to win the game rather than kick-fests/massed defences, which is what we have struggled with. I think we'll win both.

Mancini will start Barry and de Jong. We will be the ones sitting back. Like Swansea.

Maybe a huge problem for us is the fact we started the season at full power. We had the first three months at a capacity that was never seen before, but then, little by little we became tired, without any ideas in the game and so on.

That might had cost us, because Bob didn't knew how to handle this situation, but to be fair to him, i don't know if he though we can go all the way at the start of the season, i don't know if he planned this outcome, for now to have a solution. Most of the teams that fight for the league in other countries, save they energy for the last 8-10 games of the season, when all is in stake.

Me might have blown it, not because of the point yesterday, because that was a really hard away trip, but because we played the same type of football in every away game since Chelsea, last november and because there were absolutelly no signs of a solution since then.

We play with such a slow tempo away. We need to come out all guns blazing, break a leg to get a couple of goals and then sit back. Not turn up, play at a snails pace and hope for the best.
