Well, here hoping. City is a derby so anything can happen and Arsenal will try to get some kind of revenge. Can't see Wigan nor Hull getting anything.

Between the 10th - 16th May ManU have 3 league games in 6 days so anything can still happen.

You would think that something HAS to go wrong for the scum but it just doesnt seem to be happening. I just cant see them losing twice now. It really is down to City now

The worst thing is, even a draw wouldnt be enough for us.

Hmm....I'm not so sure. City need to take points off them, that's certain. But if they get a draw and Arsenal get a draw then that would leave Utd needing a win at Hull on the last day.

I think it's incredibly unlikely now, it would be great to take it to the last day of the season though, anything can happen then.

They dont have to lose twice. They could get 3 draws, or they could lose 1 and draw 2.

Whichever way you look at it, they have to drop 6 points.

I dont think there's any real chance of them failing to win 3 out of 4 games.

It'll need to be 2 losses IMO.

I think just the one **** up will put massive pressure on them and then Arsenal could potentially put them to the sword countering their desperation to win but after last nights performance I lost all hope that we could win the league as Arsenal are just so poor.

[TheElephantMan]

I'm remaining optimistic until the City game, if United win that then realistically they'll win the league. City are capable of getting a result, they'd love it if they helped to stop United winning the league.

I think it has to be a defeat though. If they lose, they know that their margin for error has become zero and if they **** up again, it'll be curtains.

If they draw however, they still know they can afford to lose another game and still take the title.

Needs to be a defeat, for me.

[fah-q]

Put it this way, Utd have four games left and have 80 points currently, we can get a maximum of 86 points. So they need 7 points to be sure from 4 games. They can afford to lose 1 as long as they win 2 and draw 1.

Or something, maths was never my strong point.

It is never over till it's over. Clearly though the sooner the better as far as them dropping points stands.

A draw or defeat to City could get them thinking again. At present I would say that they and their fans can see the finish line. Dropping points before the end will make them worry ever so slightly as long as we keep winning.

Them needing a result against Hull would still be interesting. They would likely rest players for the champions League final so it's one to keep in mind.

City will be playing for local pride, though they have a foreign core to them these days and no longer seem to get the massive importance of the game to their fans. Arsenal losing to Man Utd was a great result last night. Had they won would imagine they would have rested their star players for the league game. Not now, and they will be surely after revenge. Wigan away is no longer the tough fixture it once was, but I should imagine they'll have a crack at it. After that it's over to Hull and how much they need a victory.

Had we beaten Arsenal I would still fancy our chances, now I'm not so sure. But we can but do our job and see what happens.

[Marky]

Na, it's not looking good.
At least this season we've put up a proper fight, better still coming back from the dead.
Finally we've produced the goods in the league, just fall short for the title though.

[ELNINO 9]

its going to be sickening to see them in rome and prob winning the league
