yogic Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 on't think United will throw away a 10 point lead...
Mr Chelsea Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 its possible that we can do it, but in all honesty i doubt it when they get to the top its very rare they fall off i reckon the best we can do is pipping the scouse scum to 2nd place, winning the cl and the fa cup :D
Guest Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Ten point gap, can we bridge it? Ten point gap, yes we can! (actually no, we really can't. Its united's to loose)
Maksimov Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) It's theoretically possible, but I don't think it's a realistic target at the moment. And it's not something we should be worried about anyway when we're not in second place. Edited February 18, 2009 by Maksimov
geezer Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 If we were still to play the mancs with our new boss then maybe we would have a chance. Sadly that is not the case. We can get second though providing we do the business this weekend against the Villa
BLUENUT Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 If we were still to play the mancs with our new boss then maybe we would have a chance. Sadly that is not the case. We can get second though providing we do the business this weekend against the Villa Let's not give up, but Utd won't throw it away, they're not even letting goals in. Lets just make sure we're gauranteed a top 4 spot then worry about finishing above the scousers
BlueBeard Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Possible but extremely unlikely - to be honest, I'll be happy with a top four spot after the way we've performed this season.
geezer Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 No way I'll ever give up mate. Ain't over 'til the fat geezer sings.
PloKoon13 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Nope, we're just gonna have to Ashley Cole it.
Scott Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 on't think United will throw away a 10 point lead... It's very doubtful amigo.
icecoolguy22 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I dont think we will catch them based on form at this stage, unless they get distracted by FA cup and Champions League. This Man United team has a lot of similarities with Jose's first championship winning team, rock solid defence, pacey winger, creative midfielder to link up the striker, and better strikers than Jose's team had. Having said that, if we win every match from now on, or at least a vast majority, we will get really close, and in the next couple weeks to month Fergie will rotate his squad, that maybe our best chance.
blueday3 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 The league has been a pipe dream for me for a while now. FA cup would be fantastic, but I would trade it for a top four finish. One of many rebuilding years to come im afraid.
Guest Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I still beleive we should be aiming to finish 3rd and perhaps push Liverpool a bit for second place.
Zola's Love Child Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Win out, thats our only chance. I don't hold too much optimism for doing that. I can't see United playing like they are at the moment until the season, and if they do, fail play, they deserve the title, but if we could go unbeaten until the end of the season, I think we'll grab at least 2nd.
The Moos Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 There are enough games left to play to manage it so we still have a chance. But unless something really odd happens to ManU (loads of injuries or complete loss in form for every player) I really can't see them drop enough points to give us a chance to overtake them. All we can do is to win every single game for the rest of the season and see how far that'll take us. Maybe we'll end up 2nd and that wouldn't be too bad. Maybe next season we'll have a better manager and less injuries. Then we'll show who's best!
The Brit Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 league is over...utd have it in the bag...so let's just concentrate on top three finish and trying to win champs league and/or fa cup...considering how bad things have been, no-one could complain if we managed to pull that off
ozboy Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Top 3 not good enough. Second is the least we can settle for.
TomP Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 With only 13 matches to go, even if we didn't drop another point between now and the end of the season, we would be relying on the Mancs to drop 10 points. And based on current form, we look a hell of a lot more likely to drop points than they do. I think it's gone for this season. To be honest, I think we might seriously look at doing a Rafa Benitez - concentrate on the Champion's League at the expense of the Premiership. Make sure all the big players are rested on the weekend in preparation for big midweek matches. Play a few of the youngsters in the Premiership and see how they go.
evissy Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Lets catch Scum first. That is realistic IMO and probable even. Second place is a good target. ManU is cruising to Prem title no on can stop them. A ManU fan told me they can win 5 cups this season... I just hope a certaing Chelsea ghost Jose will ruin their run in CL. That is the only chance of stopping them in CL iMO.
bjd Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 not a chance. Even if we win all our remaining games (which we won't) it's too much of a gap. Hiddink was bought in to secure champions league qualification no more no less, and considering how awful things have been this season that should be the extent of our expectations.
Virosh Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I just hope a certaing Chelsea ghost Jose will ruin their run in CL. That is the only chance of stopping them in CL iMO. I am more hopeful on Barca to do them a number. They look truly unstoppable this year.
callista Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 No. Try to imagine MU playing as they are now inexplicably losing not one game, but at least 3 between now and the end of the season. And not only that we have to believe that Chelsea who have been a model of 1-0 consistency all season so far (cough) manage not to drop any points whilst all this is going on. I love fairy stories but this one will not come true sadly. I do hope Fergie's arse gets spanked in the CL though, sadly I don't think Jose will do it (Inter are not strong enough) Barca might do. Fingers crossed they get humiliated in the final.
Barn Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 NO. They could win the lot this year, they have a depth in their squad that they haven't had for years and that means they are strong in the cups as well as the league. Second is still there but even that's a tall order.
ozboy Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 We can beat ManU in the champions league if we come up against them. Its like the game against villa this saturday. Now we are all worried. Earlier in the season we beat them by 4-5 goals with the same team.
