After them drawing with Fulham, if we don't beat them, I give up.

ROFL yeah but Stoke beat them last as well.Quote:

This won't be a stroll because we need to win which means we can't park eleven behind the ball and hope for a lucky break. Of course we should have enough to win.
Man U results this year:
Man Utd 1-2 Tottenham
Man Utd 1-2 Swansea (FA Cup)
Sunderland 2-1 Man Utd
Man Utd 2-0 Swansea
Chelsea 3-1 Man Utd
Man Utd 2-1 Sunderland (league cup, Man Utd knocked out)
Man Utd 2-0 Cardiff
Stoke 2-1 Man Utd
Man Utd 2-2 Fulham
Look at their results above, those teams didn't all park the bus, they beat them playing football in some cases, Man U have been poor and are there for the taking.Quote:

Hardly a fearsome record.
Wouldn't argue against the fact they are there for the taking. But don't paint them up as canon fodder.
I don't think they are cannon fodder for us, for two reasons
1) Our defeat on Saturday - this will whether we like it or not have an impact on confidence, no team concedes five goals and comes out of it unaffected
2) Our mental block against them - we more often than not don't turn up against them and barely create any chances, then one of their strikers pops up and grabs the points
In the end though I don't think you should expect anything other than a win when you're at home against a side who are 7th and in pretty poor form as well, when you're second in the table. I don't think they are much of a side however and if not for the above two reasons, we'd expect to beat them.
So if we beat them, all we have to look forward to is having the joy sucked out of the win.
Yay.

Man u re were fucking dire earlier in the season too but somehow, we managed to lose them even though we were top of the league and had won two massive games the week before.
Wenger is scared of Man ure, his record, esp in the last 10 years, is fucking terrible. His team selection for the away game was there for all to see when he played a defensive side and tried to get a draw. Our big players didnt turn up, we barely had a shot on goal and left OT with our heads down affer yet another defeat.
Im not expecting us to win, im hoping we stuff them of course but it just wont happen as long as the manager's approach doesnt change.
:lol: impressive post. Now you're arguing with yourself and writing a post where othe first paragraph disagrees with the second. You've moved the goalposts so far you don't even know where they are any more.Quote:

since we last played united at home, there has been a 35 point swing in our favour.

Good stuff. The stadium would be half empty without the Tube.
This will be Moyes' 50th encounter with a top 4 team. His win rate in the previous 49 is 0% (that's ZERO, as in none, categorically less than something, nothing at all).
Therefore we must win this for the good of football.
How so? Surely that record about not beating a top team went out the window when we played (badly) against united and lost at their shit hole earlier in the season?Quote:

It shouldn't be - but it is indeed hard to call and that says it all about our latent brittleness, I'm afraid.Quote:
