morning?

gap doesn't really matter, every year it is different. The reason why man utd fans have some caution is last season. If man city had drawn against qpr last season I think most man utd fans would be rubbing it in but after last season it is one game at a time.

IMO real madrid and man utd are evenly matched I think man city as shown in europe are streets behind the other 3 teams as a team. Man city got battered every game in the champions league this season, they really deserved not only to lose all 6 matches but thrashed in most of them statistically. Dortmund could easily have got in to double figures if they knew how to score tap ins and one on ones. They missed over 10 of the easiest chances you will see.

Anyway imo both real madrid and barca and man utd and man city play a completely different way to each other.

Maybe it's the all the beer i've downed but I have to admit, I got really confused with this artical. I've got to have another look at it again in the morning just to judge how pisśed I was last night!

(its not really 15 points until AFTER Citys game tomorrow and they lose)

I think it means that there are more idiots who follow RM than there are who follow Man United.

The PL is far from over with the amount of points still to win, Same for La Liga

For me it has nothing to do with how close real are to barca. It's that they are streets ahead of the rest except maybe atletico this year.

Baca won't lose 4 more games this season let alone 4 more than real or atletico do before the end.

In the PL it is atleast conceivable united could stumble given we have to play arsenal Chelsea and city and various away games.

The PL is tougher to sow up than La liga

Nan - In my mind the idea of a morning is entirely subjective... Plus I had a nice long nap.

Rock Steady - I knew I wrote it out stupidly Hope it makes more sense tomorrow.

You can't just count the gap between City and United. City, Chelsea and Arsenal are all potential banana skins between United and the title. Barcelona only have a derby where if they were playing as they can they were likely to drop points, Real and Atletico still have to play each other.

But if Barca are as poor as their last few games suggests it may not be all over

Real Madrid are in a bad way because mourinho has fallen out with the Spanish contingent which is akin to any Chelsea manager getting on lamapard/ Terry's wrong side.

The gaps not as big as beig made out this season and will be different next year.

I think the reason everyone is saying la liga is closed because real in the league are so capable of messing up.

Barca loss of manager however has most definitely effected them, especially in the cl, but that's no ones fault really.

City are far behind because they're manager is inept tactically and cannot motivate.

Not disagreeing with any of the above comments, but here's another perspective;

In this week, especially, we should be all more aware of the vagaries of football. Another player heart-attack on the pitch is always a heartbeat away. A career-ending injury, or illness - including cancer currently - often robs us of developing and exciting talent. God forbid, for example, RM suffer their own Munich on the flight back on Wednesday. Extremely unlikely, but literally, anything is possible. It ain't over 'til it's over.


God, I'm a depressive soul tonight. More vino, I think. Left side of the brain has just reminded me it's over already in EPL, Bundesliga and La Liga. Almost done and dusted in Serie A, too.

imo it is considered over in La Liga (or WAS considered over) because of Barcas remaining fixtures and the quality of the teams they are going to face and how poorly Madrid were playing last month.

United still have some tricky fixtures coming up, mixed with some very straight forward games.

On paper it's much harder for the big 2 to drop points in La Liga, at least going by their points hauls in the past few seasons.

However, Barça are sending out some worry signs atm - not just defeats to Madrid and Milan, but also the way they've squeaked over the line recently against lesser rivals. It's most definitely theirs to lose, but if the latest string of defeats knocks their confidence hard enough, then who's to say they can't implode. Also, if the lower teams in La Liga smell blood, it could give them a level of confidence they've been lacking against Barça for years now.

the Prem league is far from over with United still having to play City,Arsenal & Chelsea.

One thing we do have in our favour though is us being so lucky, just like last season.

As for the Spanish league cant see Barca blowing it now, but their recent form must be a worry to everyone connected with the club. (probally win the CL & La Liga now)

You changed your tune, after we won the PL last season in the last minute you were one of the main criers of "lucky City". Now you are saying that your lot were lucky last season? Well i guess every team needs some luck at some point in the season eh?

I'am only repeating what your gaffer said.

Our gaffer said that?
