[Marc Overmars]

We're 10 points behind them as it stands, so victory tomorrow will cut it to 7.

thought we were less. misread the table think i was looking at the chelsea one by mistake

but we can still catch them. they have to go to city, liverpool us and have united at home. if we win our big games then we are right back in there

[Cripps_orig]

If?

If Spuds win their games, we wont catch them. They can just as easily say that

Dont live in the world of "if"

[Olivier's xmas twist]

but they not are they. win this, we are 4 points behind i think, then if we beat them its one point. we can still catch them

were 10 points behind as it stands but i love your optimism.

[Marc Overmars]

To be honest I'm more concerned about getting 4th and consolidating it, that is our target this year.

[Niall_Quinn]

7 points behind at the end of Jan. That's nothing. Teams who have been there before can expect at least that many points in their pockets just for the experience. That's why I expect Utd to finish above City too. Finishing 4th and finishing above the spuds is probably the same thing.

Nah we need to show ambition tbf.

[Cripps_orig]

Man Utd are level on points with City

We are 7 points behind the Spuds.

Not the same thing at all.

Spuds will no doubt lose points. So will we and its unlikely they'll lose 7 more than us. Finishing above us is their main target more so than the title mainly cos they never expected to be in the title race and they arent going to fuck it up.

Which means we will have to go on some great run of games which we arent able to do just to close.

Forget Spuds. They are away and clear. Lets just hope Chelsea implode

[Ollie the Optimist]

can i just a favour ach. can you support the team you are say you are fan and leave the fucking moaning till end of season and actually get behind the fucking team backing them to win every game. if not can you fuck off

Didn't say it was the same thing. I said newcomers at such lofty heights will run out of gas as the more experienced press on. That's the way it usually goes. There are always early runners but as the old saying goes, this is a marathon not a sprint.

A run of three games and the whole table could (and will) change. Again, it always happens so no reason why it won't happen this year too. Might not even be in our favour but the table has a few more twists yet.
