I agree with Darren. There's a difference betwern expectation and desire. We all want United to win but that doesn't mean it's the likely result or that we will field a team who is good enough to win today. It's about being realistic and not blindly optomistic.

well i get the feeling that some of our so called fans are now happy when we lose as it justifies what they have been saying.
we have underperformed this season and havent even got the results that those performances deserve, I am just waiting for it all to click into place and I am sure it will.

I would love you guys to win. For that to happen, I don't think it will be a pretty affair though and you need the players and Moyes to get it tactically spot on. We went there and flooded the midfield and played very well due to individual errors, we still lost though. You don't ever get many chances against a Mourinho team so you have to take them when you do.

Those 'some' fans are in the minority.

Played very well but due to individual errors, that should have said

Of course Melton wants us to win

We're in the rare situation where a lot of non United or Chelsea fans would like us to win today. That's a situation I am not altogether familiar or comfortable with as it shows we aren't feared or seen as the very top team we once were. I would far rather everybody wanted us to lose.

well it wasnt a rare situation under the first four seasons of Fergie when we were totally terd

We were also pretty rubbish befire Fergie took over to be fair. We hadn't won the league in 19 years.

yeah but it got worse under him, a lot worse. I would love to have seen what internet forums would say about him if they existed at the time, the fanzines were merciless, i still have them.

Ta ra Fergie, no more excuses

You weren't totally terd Siempre. There were bad moments in there, but the signs were there too.

I agree though, a lot of United fans were quite vitriolic against him at the time.

Robb,

I don't want you to win to stop Chelsea or anything, I just think the run in will be better if you do for the league as a whole. This board won't have thirty articles all about the same thing for the next couple of days as well!

I want a draw with lots and lots of cards diving fights.

Your usual Chelsea united game you might say.

I kind of like being the underdogs for a change. Might allow the players a bit of freedom. Should never expect a win against any other top half side regardless of form.

Btw, M is roman for one thousand, so MM is a thousand thousand, or a million. Commonly used in finance. Clearly I was not referring to millimetres

i am pretty sure MM is two thousand
