1) It is.
2) Fine. All about opinions. I have no certainty (but a few quid to win at Ladbrokes) that we will make top 4. Just thought that considering we are improving, our fitness is very good and helping at the end of matches and we are improving as we adapt to Poch and his ways, and the majority of our technically most difficult matches will be out of the way half way through the season. The poster I was responding to was being a bit too emphatic in stating that, what I thought was a very good point towards top four, had a finality to it in ruling us out.
3) Yeah, but we should have had one penalty and maybe another two, Young should have been off for bringing down Townsend, and they had another few who were flirting with a red card.
4) I never get this talk. United dominated the 1st half. That we weren't behind at half-time was slightly unexpected. It was, in part, to one of our players doing what he is paid to do - so no luck involved there. And c'mon, you'll have seen as many games as I have were a team dominates, scores, and then the whole pattern of the match changes. If we had went behind, we may well have adjusted, went at them all guns blazing and wiped their sorry asses off the face of the Earth. They wouldn't have scored and then started play in the same place, with exactly the same mentalities and in the same positions as when they missed the chance that we are hypothesising went in. Let's just say they really should have been ahead at half time and leave it at that, eh
Besides, my argument was based on knowing that the result was 0 - 0 and we got a point
5) True enough. It may be too late for Schneiderlin. Let's just wait and see. maybe Poch is serious that if we don't buy anyone he is fine with it - maybe he has an ace up his sleeve (some master-plan that will turn Dembélé from the nearly man with everything but a heart (Wizard of Oz, like) to some kind of Uber-goal machine, dominating midfields and then using the ball perfectly every time?
6) We will see. Afaiac, we have seen our attacking play really coming together in recent matches, with some great link up play, hindered ultimately by some poor decision making. I am quite excited about that. IMHO, the one thing we absolutely need right this minute is an experienced (and that is that vital bit) central midfielder capable of dominating the centre of the park. The best fit we know for Poch's system is Schneiderlin. So, if we buy one player I want it to either be him or someone else capable of filling the role.
7) Or Europa. Or top 4.
8) Maybe, but I would get immense satisfaction from watching the Mickeys getting all uppity with their I'm nor'avin tha...it's rrrrr year BS and then stuffing them in the final
9) We will beat the Chavs next up - you heard it here first
Our fitness is certainly noticeable finishing games stronger than the opposition in most cases.
We just dont know what this season holds in store for us it could end up being one of our better ones, a cup final appearance would be nice.
Our play appears to be improving or parts of it we still give the ball away a bit too often and sometimes struggle to string a few passes together,although kanes vision is getting better each time i see him.
Im not expecting much if anything in january although i feel it would be silly to stick with what we have rather than improve on it,but we wait and see on that.
And finally i would like to meet Liverpool in the CC final as we owe them for 82.
