so who do you think will win the league now?

[Neil Young]

hull will win.....

[Joe King]

United were the real winners today. They will be in the box seat if they beat Chelsea on January 11.

[Liverpool]

Think United will win but we have every chance but think too many draws will cost us, need to break down teams better which United/Chelsea can do better than us as goal difference shows but its in our hands. Which is different from previous years were we need to focus on teams above us dropping points.

united have been as inconsistent as anyne though. All we have to do is to finish as well as we have had the last two seasons and its all ours

[memzey]

Some of the odds being offered by the bookies are just bizzare. PP has it quite tight but ladbrokes and Betfred have us miles apart from chelsea (favs) and manu.

They say the bookies rarely get it wrong, but that doesn't seem right to me. There shouldn't be that much of a gap. I don't see Utd as being more than twice as likely as us to win it?

[Pass-move]

Christ, have some belief.

[bacon]

I think we will win it at the start of every season & here we are at Xmas, it really is our best chance for yrs ....

And I think the key point is that we dont really lose too often now do we ...

So I will put the mockers on it & predict a Liverpool PL win !

5 Arsenal 18 9 4 5 30 21 9 31

I know everyone goes on and on about our draws so far this season, but overall it's very tight amongst the top 5. If we can reatin the win vs draw ratio then we will win it. No-one is streaks ahead and we only have to worry about Manure imho. Arse and Cheksea at Anfield, get 6 points there and they're gone. And if all 3 of us get a result at Old Toilet then we're on for the premiership. BELIEVE IT AND IT WILL COME!!

Pessimistic bollocks. They didn't play this weekend how the **** were they winners? Can you say with certainty they'll win their game in hand from the weekend? Anymore certaintly than all the whiny whingy *******s had that Chelsea would win last night and go back top?

FFS, we need to start handing out valium, these forums are becoming so ****ing depressing.

[andrewces38]

furthermore to some quotes on here im am fed up with some of a few mancs saying we have still got to play all the better teams at old toilet , now putting our recent patchy form at home behind us and i think we will sort that out once torres is back , we have only 1 tricky away game left and thats at old toilet and if they need to win that might make it an open game for us to hit them on the break we have actually played all the big games away, Chelski, Arse, Toffees, Villa, Spurs , Blackburn,Bolton Man city with the latter four capable of beating anyone on their home patch and it's just the spurs game that we lost ,

[-V-]

If we can get 6 points out of these next 2 games then i'll back us big time

[Nicey]

imo we still will but i am biased as ****

for me something at chelsea is not right and although the scum have games in hand they trail us by a fair way
our game against them whenever it is is a potential pl decider how sweet to go there and win it if sky decide to put the game back

Perhaps Rafa was playing mind games with the recent press release about us needed Chelsea to mess up or not be at there best

[Craig_H]

With every weekend that passes, we seem to have another let off. If there's such a thing as destiny or a higher power, it seems to want us to win it.

I'm also thinking more and more, that the winning points tally will be even lower than i first thought. Might be less than 80, which would be incredible.
