coco Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) With us now at wembley in May and in the CL semis against Barca, should we be stepping down our EPL campaign for this season and concentrating on the 2 cup campaigns ? Lets look at the EPL fixtures remaining for Manure... Man Utd vs Portsmouth Man Utd vs Tottenham Middlesbrough vs Man Utd Man Utd vs Man City Wigan vs Man Utd Man Utd vs Arsenal Hull vs Man Utd For us to have ANY chance at all, Manure must drop 7 points from the above fixture list. Even if they do drop 7 points, we still have to win every game and hope our goal difference is better than Manures. So for me the EPL is a big no no, well gone, should be forgotten. What do you lot think ? Edited April 21, 2009 by coco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizeH Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Tottenham, Manchester City and Arsenal are the only games that United might slip up on, but I agree, they won't, so it's effectively over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizeH Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 But I still want us to win every game possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibs Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 You never know, but the chances are slim. Good time to re-visit the premiership predictor: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/e...tor/default.stm I did it and Utd finish top on 88 pts with us second on 85 and Liverpool on 82. Hull, Middlesborough & West Brom for the big drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlandblue Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 we should aim to win every game, putting a weakened side out is simply not the Chelsea way, we have a squad big enough to cover in the event of suspension and/or injury if required.

BLUENUT Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 realistically - yes. Mathmatically - no There is no fat lady singing just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonetti Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Cant see us with the EPL this season. Worst case scenario would be if the scum get it and we dont win the CL, I can just about live with the Mankers getting it again but at least it wont be the treble - can anyone ever see that being done again?

Maksimov Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I did the predictor thing too and ManU finished top. They beat us by a point. Liverpool finished third with just three points behind us and Arsenal was fourth. Newcastle, Boro and West Brom were relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueday3 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Weird, because I got Chelsea on top with 85, Utd in second with 75 ahead of Liverp**l on goal difference -4 to -5, and spurs with a nice goal difference of -32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHedges Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 realistically - yes.Mathmatically - no Pretty sure you got that the wrong way around mate :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUENUT Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Pretty sure you got that the wrong way around mate :o But it's not mathamatically over is it? The question was: Have our chances of winning the EPL realistically gone ? realistically - yes. Mathmatically - no As long as there is a chance, no matter how small, we must keep going until there are not enought points to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathmatically - no As long as there is a chance, no matter how small, we must keep going until there are not enought points to play for. theres no way this league is over just yet. all it takes is for liveprool and utd to lose a game the same time as we win one and suddenly the pressure changes.

PloKoon13 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 On my predictor, Man Ure pipped the Dippers, and we were third. Sunderland, Boro and West Brom for the drop. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruh Buh Juh Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Tottenham, Manchester City and Arsenal are the only games that United might slip up on, but I agree, they won't, so it's effectively over. Might is the big word there, with Man City useless away from home and Tottenham totally unreliable. Arsenal should give them a few issues, as long as they have nearly 100% fit defence (without Gallas mind). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
