Liverpool only have 5 more points than West Brom in the time he has been there. That's with about 90 million less.

FACT.

Where is the City fan who said Everton and Stoke away aren't "difficult" away games? Come on, show yourself. Why do they only post when they win (apart from Cibaman). They've become everything that they hate.

When you're chasing a title and the season reaches pressure point, every game becomes difficult. Unless you are experienced, like UNited.

For anyone to claim everton and stoke away aren't difficult games is an idiot. Evertone are always in the top half and often takes points off the big boys.

No one from the top 5 has won at stoke this season United drew 1-1.

Yesterdays result would have been good for city, in normal circumstances, but put into context, at this stage of the seaosn they needed 3 points. United would have found a way to win. They win relentlessly at this time of the season.

This was the post.

Stoke and Everton can hardly be classed up there or else we are going to have to start taking Bolton, QPR and Swansea into the equation too.

You've also included Spurs twice and an Arsenal team that was bereft of any decent players.

In reality United's tough games have been Spurs, Chelsea and City at home and Liverpool away (7 points out of 12) and City's have been Spurs and United away ( 6 points out of 6 and 11 goals).

If we take one point from the forthcoming games at Liverpool and Chelsea then our records will be the same. However, all of our games against the big opposition will have been away with nearly all United's at home.

Whilst we have battered two of the other big five away, can we really see United doing the same? When was the last time United beat anyone decent away?



Titter.

I'm surprised at any sane City fan thinking Everton away is an easy game. Our record against them over recent years is woeful.

As usual in the premier league, teams that have been successful over the years tend to go on a run after Christmas. United have always been excellent at this. Likewise Arsenal are doing the same.

If City are 3 points behind United come derby day I'd take that at the moment, we're struggling and still have to go to The Emirates, while United are finding ways to win.

Ranieri sacked apparently

Poor decision. That was a penalty all day long.

You sound surprised?

Re: The Football Chat (cont) : Mon Mar 26, 2012 8:52 pm  

It was a penalty. The ref bottled it. Every single thing going uniteds way in the title race. Everything.

I'm glad I;m not a city fan, i;d be tearing my hair out.

Yeah, that gap can not get higher than 3 points before derby day. City are just going to have keep picking up as many points as possible and hope united's tremendous run hit's a bumpy patch.

If it does, and they are within touching distance, plus derby day, they can take advantage.

If united win all their remaining games, except derby day then they will most likely win the title ande city just have to hold their hands up and say fair play.

I don't know what he's having for breakfast, but another really good performance from Evans tonight.
