Quite, but someone on here was convinced Mata's signing was a turning point, while me and the efest account were trying to drill home that one signing just wouldn't cut it.

The Nal seemed determined that this was some sort of big thing. So much so, that when I pointed out "three men don't make a team", he decided what I was actually saying RVP/Rooney/Mata wouldn't be able to work together. THIS is the level of which this guy thought a difference would be made.

I've got to feel sorry for Utd. They were the better team, and would have won that game four times out of five. Luck ran against them.

But they were playing Stoke ffs.

If Utd had been playing a decent team yesterday they'd have been ripped to shreds.

Okay I concede man utd are not going to get top 4....

You got there eventually, even if it's month or more later than most people.

[eFestivals]

United are already out the title hunt.

Not according to Sir Arsehole. At least, that was the situation before yesterday's game.

I want some of the drugs he's taking.

All i said is that those three in a team are capable of putting together a decent run. And they still are.

Are they?

Do they get a good run of fixtures against just the teams who are 11th or lower then?

And yet even if they had that run of 'easy' fixtures, I guarantee they wouldn't win them all. Any team that Stoke as an attacking force can carve thru can be carved thru by any team in the Prem.

Those three in a team aren't capable of putting an absolutely bang average team in the rest of the park on a run. They're not Jesus Christ and therefore can't work miracles.

[The Nal]

To me one good thing is after getting on for 20 years where the luck always seemed to go man utds way, those breaks are going against them and about time!

[pink_triangle]

Not a fluke. Just bad defending. Carrick shouldve done better. No excuses. No creativity in the last third. Poor crossing all day too.

Predictions for the rest of the games?

Mine easy Liverpool away win, I think wba are being punished for a very poor (lugano, vydra, anelka, anichebe) transfer window in the summer and not putting it right in January, I think they are in deep trouble.

Arsenal won't win as Pulis generally makes it difficult for them. Can see a 2-0 score.

Also suspect Jose will do his usual and find a way to scrape a draw at city.

My advise to all you gamblers is go for the opposite!

[DomDom1984]

Chelsea won't be able to hold off City because they're just too good for that. I can see a draw between Palace and Arsenal and Liverpool to beat West Brom but not as easily as you suggest.

[DomDom1984]

Absolutely fantastic game going on between Hearts and Caley Thistle on BBC One Scotland as Caley have somehow dragged this game to extra time with nine men.

[pink_triangle]

Lugano is on, this could get ugly!

[DomDom1984]

Told you it wasn't an easy Liverpool win!

Probably a fair result there.

[zahidf]

Man utd 7 points behind rather than 9 now. Not a massively better result for them, but a missed opportunity from Liverpool.

[The Nal]

Big result for Utd thanks to Kolo's quarterly clanger.

[The Nal]

On current league form, 4th place is going to require 74 points which means Utd need 34 more points from 14 games.

Thats a better average than City in their last 14 games.
