Post Fulham, We've got a real chance thread

[Kenneth]

Let's see at 6pm this evening, we'll know a bit better anyway.

United are without Vidic, Anderson, Scholes, Rooney and Berbatov. And Tevez is highly unlikely to be fully fit.

I feel like it could be our year, but we still need United to drop those valuable points.

Yeah, but they won. Think it's looking unlikely we'll win.

[Vermilion]

Yeah, but they won. Think it's looking unlikely we'll win.

Bit of a blow today, BUT, in all honesty 2 weeks ago we never really thought they would be JUST 1 point ahead with 1 game in hand today, we were OUT of the race then, apparently.

The last fortnight and this weekends events just confirm to me that this race will end excitingly & excruciatingly tight.....ISTANBUL like, and that's exactly the way i expect us to win our 1st Premiership and 19th Title.

Chin Up all, this race is as alive as it ever was.

So, still confident peeps?

[Angry Dan]

Villa completley bottled that game.

I can not believe their tactics in the last 15 minutes against such a weekend Utd team.

Martin O'Neill is a cunt and a **** manager to boot

[anfieldanfield]

It's still on.

[SK]

It's still on.

they will lose more points, i'm sure of it.

[Angry Dan]

I think a lot depends on the games V Arsenal and us keeping the GD in our favour.

If we can beat Arsenal and Utd draw or lose we have a good chance.

[Shaggy]

I'm glad we play Arsenal first. I think it'll be harder for the Mancs to beat them nearer the end of the season. More pressure.

More pressure plus Arsenal's key players will all be back and they'd have had some more game time too & likely to be a lot stronger

[Craig_H]

Fabregas and Adebayor are back already

I'd rather the mancs played Arsenal first. The prospect of us dropping points is a nightmare and if it happens, the title is their's and the pressure's off.

If they played Arsenal first, it'd make it more likely for the gap to be reduced further.

As it stands, we've got harder games in the next couple of weeks and we need to win them to just stay in touch.

It's like Boro away - tough game, but they dont play them for ages, so by the time they do, it could be pointless anyway.

[Lee]

Fabregas and Adebayor are back already

They are, but they're likely to get better and fitter with more games. Eduardo is another.

Rosicky & Walcott are back soon too. I'd rather play Arsenal sooner rather than later.

Then again with the way this season has panned out, Utd and us will beat Arsenal 6-0 and then probably lose the week after to some pony team!

[andrewces38]

With villa losing today 4th place is a certainty for the Arsenal so when we play them it.s 3 day's after their semi final against Chelski in the FA cup and the way I see it the FA cup will be a priority for them to get some silverware and hopefully all their big guns will be rested against us expecially after playing a semi 3 day's earlier

To be fair, the referee and linesmen weren't exactly on top form, were they??

United winning that match after being 2-1 down? Surprised? **** no. Does that result put us out of the Title race? **** no.

United still have to play City and Arsenal, both games will be difficult for different reasons.
They also have to play Middlesbrough and Pompey; neither are dangerous sides as such, but United have relatively poor records against both.

We always knew the winning the league wasn't in our hands any more, and that more slip ups were needed. We're playing very well, have a great chance against Chelsea this week, which is now our focus.

[DannyMan2006]

No easy games now, because of the pressure. But I think if we can beat Arsenal and West Ham the title is ours, as I think we will win the other games no problems, though Spurs on the last day would be edgy.

As Craig H says, I'd rather have Arsenal later on, but that point is destroyed if we beat them. However, depending on Arsenal in the CL you could see them resting players towards the end..............

Simply put our nest 5 games see us playing first. If we win, we put them under pressure. We bottle it and the Mancs have a cake walk.
