The Official Manchester United Thread [vol 7]

Swansea away
Huddersfield away next 2 games

United got Burnley away and Spurs away...
Hopefully some dropped points by them in at least 1 game...
I would expect Chelsea to still be level on points with us.

Same points and only 3 behind on goal difference; from the team who are regarded as so inferior.

Yet Liverpool play such amazing attacking football and United are boring park the bus football but we're still 3 goals ahead and a game in hand. You don't half come out with some st at times on this thread.

Those are the facts.

You kinda missed the point, didnt you? Liverpool (new Best Team in the Universe Ever) have somehow done worse than Utd (Terrible Terrible Team) so far this season.

Who cares about future games? You won the title months ago (as usual) and have now won it again by winning against City.

I think you're the only person who has ever said that, we just won a big game and are rightly celebrating. We are not Spurs asking for a cup for winning December or the highest tier on our stadium

It's not that hard to understand surely?

Liverpool are a lot more entertaining to watch because we focus on attack and don't have the best defense. Meaning lots of goals at either end, but clangers which cost us points. Great fun for the neutral.

Utd have JM who tends to focus on defense especially against the better teams which leads to a duller watching experience, but Utd have some very good players so this method can be highly effective in gathering points.

To be honest I'd like Klopp to adopt a little (note a little) bit of JM's pragamtism, eg not swap keepers when playing the league leaders and learning how to see out a game when you are ahead.

Anyway:

Tottenham finish top of the PL’s ‘Christmas Table’ on goal difference - 1 of 3 sides taking 10 points from a possible 12

Most Points Over Xmas:
Tottenham 10 (+8 GD)
Liverpool 10 (+7)
Man City 10 (+7)
Chelsea 8
Newcastle 7

And it's wrong!

Not a joke. I've heard Scousers on the radio who already have next season in the bag, too.

Indeed and the irony is clearly lost.

Well yes but that's down to their poorer start really. They look extremely strong at the moment, second only to Citeh (just). Spurs look strong too. Thank god the Prem is not decided by goals scored (although that'd be a great idea!)

Every club has idiot supporters - they are usually found on phone-in radio shows and ttter (oh and RAWK).

I hesitate to say this but PH tends to have less knuckle dragging fans - point me to someone on the Liverpool thread who has said we will the league this year or next

And our position is only down to our poorer performances a few weeks back against a couple of other clubs. If we’d won all of those, and the other matches against the top sides, and those in the middle of the table, then we’d be top of the table on 66 points.

Daft argument is daft.

Will We? Would never say 100% yes

Will we be as good as any of the other chasing teams yes...
Cut out the mistakes from the GKs we would be well clear in 2nd

Ben Smith is 100% he is going to go big on a gk in summer, that along with Kieta, VVD and 1 other player we will be a very very strong team

[ORD]

If only we had a delusional Scouser on this very thread to make my point for me... Maybe even just one post above this one...

We could all say that. If spurs had taken their chances at home they'd be well clear in second
If utd had had pogba all season they'd be well clear in second
if Morata could hit a barn door they would be well clear in second
If arsenal had some half decent fans theyd be well clear in second
etc etc

So who out of the chasing pack is miles ahead of us?

I would say there are 4 teams pretty even

Of course..but let's be honest I think you are well aware if we get a decent keeper we would be better
Seeing as you drum on about them being the 2 weakest in the prem?

You could probably promote an under-12s blind team reserve keeper to the first team and improve tbh
