People still haven't learned from last season never to discount a team gaining huge momentum without any champions league distractions as a title challenger. Their current form, result wise nonetheless, is title contender form and they are gaining maximum points during the busiest time of the year. People were discounting Liverpool last season as a genuine contender right until january when they realised they had look like a mug if they continued to do so.

exactly.they have confidence now as well.shouldn't happen but these things do

[The Chels 2,502]

I'm not too bothered about United since if they do catch up with us it'll mean we've dropped so many points that City will be ahead of us anyway. Indeed Lampard-led City are breathing right down our necks.

[Laylabelle 9,305]

Unless city drop as well.only a 5 point gap between the 2

Pressure is good in a way though tend to get complacent.

Not shocked about Liverpool they done this a few years back.nearly won.didn't then fizzled out for years.just sorta there at the moment

The Moyes debacle is clouding people's judgement. united are not a shit team. anyteam with Rooney, Di maria, RVP,Mata and Falcao has a chance of winning the league. that's abundance of goals right there and goals win games.

The different last season Liverpool played brilliant football, whenever I watched them, they looked absolutely devastating going forward. This United team looked to be honest awful. They conceded so many chances and barely created any but they won games.

By your logic we aren't a title contender either because any neutral or casual fan who saw our games against Sunderland,Hull city,QPR and City wouldn't have guessed given how ordinary we looked.

Getting result despite not playing well, some call it luck, is one the characteristics of league winners and title contenders.

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Losing the title to United would mean we are one of the most pathetic bunch in Europe, in this case United would be our last worry.

Imo they're gonna lose points very quickly. They're playing bad, not creating chances and defend awful.

I said exactly this after they bought dimaria.

They have too much firepower. Their defense may be shit but they only need 4shots to score 2 goals against Southampton, arsenal and Liverpool. They have too much free time (1 week) to prepare tactics against any opponent while we have 3 days. That was exactly what Rodgers enjoyed with Liverpool, and now they are a pub team without chance.

Thirdly vangaal may not be Mourinho but he's a far better manager than Moyes. Ferguson proved over the years that even a worse team than this can win the league.

I don't expect them to win but they are guaranteed champions League next season IMO

How about Mata and Hazard heading in a goal in the same weekend. Same positions as well.

So the Chilean media claim that Alexis Sanchez was dumped by his (super hot) girlfriend because nowadays he would only last three minutes in bed and then fall asleep right after it.

Now Arsenal have gone to the next level - ruining footballers' personal life as well, not only their careers

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Seriously, Rodgers has quickly become the manager that I can't stand the most. Deluded, self-righteous, classless, ignorant twat.

Can't listen to him me, boring and lifeless.

He's getting the sack soon anyway.

If we concede chances after chances and barely create any on the other end then yes, there will be patch in the season when you are not playing well but so far we played well enough.

Oh dear, should we happy or not?

I'm happy that it's not another deluded scouse loving prick.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

As much as I see MU are in good forms at the moment and looks convincing. Still think the title still between us and City only. It seems impossible both (us and City) losing points together along the rest of season. If one of us starting to slip and losing momentum, the other side will be spirited and wouldn't waste their chance.
