the big game, and the league title....unfortunately.
I'm not here wumming, just calling it as I see it. I would far rather Man United to win it than Man City as they will have just purchased it by paying well over the odds in transfer fees and worse still wages to make them falsely a 'big club'.
However, I think you lot have blown it tbh. You were way behind them and they choked, but ever since they lost at arsenal the pressure has been off them. You guys got too complacent (a Spurs disease so I should know!). To be fair even I relaxed and thought you would win it, but everyone, including the press, was way too premature, and I think you lot got lulled into a false sense of security, got too cocky and thought it was won.
The 2 late goals you conceded v Everton is what has killed you. When Nani scored to go 3-1 up and similarly Rooney to go 4-2 up, the reactions were very much as if 'that's it, we've definitely won this one now', and I think the whole Man United team visibly relaxed.
The other killer in this is that Man City scored 2 late goals to get a now very crucial point v Sunderland- this is the difference, Man United conceded 2 late goals to drop 2 points at home, Shiekhy scored 2 to gain a point. If they didn't, and even if they win against you, they'd still be behind you.
For what it's worth, I don't think Man United have had a particularly good team this year. If SAF was in charge of the Spurs squad we'd have wrapped up the league by now. I think you'll come in for Modric in the summer as he's clearly what you are missing, as well as a dependable centre back.
So, all in, I think it's pretty certain you're going to lose and I think I'd avoid all the press if I were you as its going to be really nauseating seeing the clamouring over Man City, especially given you've handed it back to them, and they patently haven't deserved it.
I can just see it being a comfortable win for them, and I bet that Judas mercenary who "will never play for Man City again" scores. The momentum is all with them since you guys have chucked it away.
City will win

Fair enough it's your opinion, good post I guess..

then again, considering you are a fan of the potatoes, your opinions on football are irrelevant.

That's a bit harsh, can't people give a reasonable opinion on here without getting insulted?

wheres the insult? its my opinion that potato fans should remain silent on football, especially on bottling it

That's a "bold" statement you can even prove! Maybe you should have written this after the season had finished!

but i agree with your username, in that Arsenal are the only proper team in north landan gavna.
