I think that City will win the league by a comfortable 6-7 points with us in 2nd. If we think this years race for the title and top 4 is intense, I can't wait until we have a striker or two worthy of a club of our ambitions. A part of me thinks that Jose has something fucking MASSIVE planned in that department this summer. If not Rooney, and if Liverpool fail to get top 4, I really do think Jose would have the balls to spend an EPL record fee on Suarez. We'd have a first XI easily on par with Bayern/Madrid/Barca.

I'd rather one of our direct rivals lose than Barca. I despise Barca as much as anyone here but the only English club I want to see do well in the CL is us.

It'll be difficult of course. I'm actually picking them to beat Barca. They aren't exactly good defensively and I don't think they'll be able to completely contain Agüero and Negredo. Yaya back in world class form this season too.

City are fucking ridiculous. Legit quadruple contenders on this form.

Don't trust the injury news! Could be Moyes/United mind games. I'm paranoid, I know.

If there's even a hint that Shaw is obtainable I'd seriously hope that our board are on it. If any club makes a bid we should be in there too. If Shaw really is a big Chelsea fan, we could try to undercut a bid form City or United in the hope that Shaw would turn them down and force his way to Chelsea and Mourinho.

Sky have just said he's at Cobham now!

Maybe he's failed the medical. Tumbleweeds at the moment.

Still not announced, huh? Weird. Maybe the KdB deal holding it up? What could be taking so long if he's been in London for a couple days now?

You're right, but imagine they beat us and while morale is at a season high, the United owners give Moyes a fat wad of cash to bring in a few. Then they can have the Özil effect and lift them back into contention. Makes me sick just thinking about it. My dream scenario would be Hazard, who so many idiot United supporters were calling overrated, to score a couple and rip their defense to shreds. Maybe a John Terry header to seal a 3-0 victory and blow a few kisses to the United away fans. Only club I hate ALMOST as much as Arsenal.

I just hate this fucking scummy club and want desperately to smash them while they're down.We can't be the catalyst that sparks their ascent up the table. If we lose it would not only bring them to within 6 points of us but they'd be massively confident going forward. If we can win and the other top 4 sides also win I don't see any way United make top 4. We MUST win this one! I seriously will be depressed if they come to the Bridge and steal one.

I'm still of the mind that RvP's injury is being blown out of proportion and they're planning his return for this match. They're gonna make him out as a savior returning to rescue United when everyone thought he was going to be out longer. He and Rooney will both be back for this I think.

So....there's another Serbian who captains a certain Manc side who's out of a contract in the summer. We should troll the fuck out of Moyes and sign him on a free for a year. He's still a pretty class player and he'd have his mates Ivanovic and Matic.

Our old buddy Ian McGarbage just tweeted that the medical will be tomorrow morning. Haven't heard from him in ages. Was a serial bullshitter if I remember correctly.

Hmmm. This wait is killing me. Maybe it won't be today as there's stuff going on with the NBA judging by the official twitter.

Must be one loooong medical. Is there a long line at White Hart Lane?

Bayern is the latest rumor. They'd want to pair him with Dante.

I keep checking twitter hoping to see confirmation. Getting anxious, haha.

Here's a sample of things he's said-"Their goalkeeper is a pale shadow of the player he was. He has been suspect since his injury. He is no longer one of the world's elite keepers, and is not even in the Prem's top 5 keepers. Ashley Cole and John Terry are slower than snails. And Luiz... LOL don't even get me started. Absolute defensive liability." His take on Hazard---- "If he were to join us he'd be rotated with Januzaj at best. He is not miles better than Adnan, and Adnan has more potential and room to grow. Hazard is doing for Chelsea what Nani did for us in his first season. I don't know what all the hype is about." And my personal favorite: "Don't get me wrong I think hazard is a good player, just not one of the best, and definitely not UTD quality"

Announce it already! I'd rather not see Luiz in midfield against United. Too risky.

The hell?Could be a decent depth signing in the summer once Lamps and Essien are gone but now? Unless Jose wants to play 4-3-3.

I'm scared I'm gonna wake up tomorrow excited to check twitter to see Chelsea tweet about the Matic signing, but to my shock and horror we've signed Guarin instead.

The lack of Matic at Heathrow pics is disturbing.

*sigh* What if this is all just a smokescreen and we end up with Guarin after all? What a massive fucking letdown that would be.
