The Top of the League Thread

[Rigadon]

Can we keep this thread on track instead of another "we cant beat the smaller teams" debate.

1. Man Utd
2. Chelsea
3. Liverpool
4. Villa

Lets see after Sunday. If the Mancs beat Everton and we fail to beat Chelsea then we may as well close this thread. It would be the Livepool way for the Mancs to draw and us to win, typical emotional roller coaster.

I was logging on now, not knowing the result, but hoping to dust this ole thread off.

Another friggin draw. This sucks

[Nicey]

Back in the hunt bitches

Stupid.

They have a pretty straightforward run in. They only potential banana skin is Wigan and Fulham away whilst we have United, Boro, Fulham and West Ham as banana skins away from home. I think home will be the problem for us, United's away games are as I said, pretty straightforward but thats without factoring the Champions League games.

Are you discounting the idea of us being a 'banana skin' for them?

I don't think there are many easy games and i would say that Boro look anything but a real challenge at the minute.

While I'm refusing to get my hopes up West Ham have been playing well under Zola. I suspect that the best they will get is a draw and obviously United are coming off a big win but there is always hope. Especially if Carlton Cole continues his somewhat shocking transformation into a footballer.

[wiw]

Worryingly West Ham parked the bus against the Gooners apparently, not sure whether it was at the Emirates or not though? Where's the game this w/e?

I personally think, we will be lucky to get a point at OT. They have only dropped two points this season and that was at the start of the season.

We have always had a poor record at Boro - Benitez has never won there.

Tongue in cheek comment about Carlton Cole I'm sensing. The key is Parker and Noble. And Ilunga not raising his hands.

Upton Park.

Why are you here Joe King? I think we will be good for a point but I also think we can get all 3. If we can play at a high tempo then we will be well in there.

For me anyways this year there is not such thing as an easy run in, straight forward results or bannana skins. Every game has the potential for upset, especially factoring in the drop as these teams are without a doubt in my books the best up and down the lg the premiership has ever seen.

United for me have not look convincing in any way shape or form and have had a huge ammount of the the run of the green already this season.

We on the otherhand have been very unlucky sometimes at our own making.

Given the squads, the players at hand and their condidition .. regardless of ties ..I like our chances ... we simple have to win football games regardless of who we play ...

I went away for a month and we dropped off the top ... I'm back and we will be back up there again this month ..charging towards No. 19
