Two thirds of the way through the season

[friedk]

In our first 12 matches we dropped 19 points

In our next 12 matches we dropped 7 points

Incredibly we have 1 point more than at this stage last season

We are probably the fittest and freshest team in the league

I think the next 5 matches will decide whether we are back in the race

What do you think?

I think you're spot on buddy but I was never in doubt that we would be back fighting.

[captain-caveman]

I think we're on the way up.....

its been a slow uphill but we're getting there.

Rafa has done better in his first 100 league games then all the other top managers in the league past and present.

I think every match from now until the end of the season is going to be very important, specially since Arsenal have found their form too and are right up our backsides.

We've used up all our jokers for this season now.

Bloody rotation, what was Rafa thinking

He just can't figure out his best 11

Moaniho has a better record but a larger overdraft

He hasn't been able to understand the culture of the english game.

Wow, slightly surprised that we are ahead of last season. Come to think of it we tended to draw too many games last year.

I still think Man U are too far ahead, unless they bottle it....

Slur Alex will.

I think every game now will be looked at like a cup game. We´ll have plenty of rest and everyone is fresh. If we manage to keep winning Man U are gonna start looking over their shoulders.

Last season in our last 14 league games we won 12, drew 1 and lost 1, so picking up 37 points. If we do likewise again we'll have 83 points. That wont be enough to win the league IMO.

Very difficult as you say but I can't see the Champions winning the league near 90 points this season as we're entering a crucial period where crunch matches are more and more frequent.

Now starts the money time and United will have to stand up and be counted. What they've done since the start of the league is great as it made them into that position, but points will be lost and hopefully they'll lose a fair few.

And if we win all 14 that will be 88 points

Enough for the title???

If we can win the next 10 I reckon Scum will start brickin' it and fall apart

The Manchester derby could be interesting

Also we have a younger team than the mancs, maybe the legs of Larrson, Scholes, Giggs and Neville will run out of steam? They have the experience but we are the fitter team.

well need 84 or 85 points to win the league at least

the scum have too many easy home games and will get too many freebies on the road to get less than that
