Not lucky that we keep on coming from behind to win. Lucky maybe that we weren't playing a better team than Newcastle but it's no coincidence that we constantly win from losing positions. We have a spirit and mentality that few other teams have.

Another top performance from united...... NOT
Bonus with City losing

We were unlucky not to win it but by the same token, we were lucky to be in the position we were. We haven't had a "good" season in years performance wise.
I personally don't think that we should be happy with scraping through 80% of our wins. Our quality is shown in europe.

We are so bad, yet 7 points clear. How Mancini is still in a job I don't know.
City weren't lucky either....just like Utd, they scored more goals than the other team. If there was luck in the City game, it was that they scored a goal that, if it was scored by Reading, almost certainly would have been disallowed(I think it was ok though tbh).Ha ha, it's lucky when City score in the 90th though

It's becoming more and more clear just how bad the EPL is getting, I think both with Chelsea chosing the wrong managers constantly and buying the wrong players, Utd and Arsenal sticking with managers who with monunmental budgets and spending keep buying the wrong players, keeping the wrong players and show a complete lack of being able to cut the dead meat from the squad. Spurs are doing pretty well on an actually limited budget, pushing for top 4 while on a budget basically 50+ mil lower than the nearest team above them is really very good, as is what Everton are achieving(but without Europe to contend with).
I think City are the only team that have improved in the big 5 teams across the last 5 years(pool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Utd, City have all spent well over £100mil in wages at various points), but considering what they've spent and how they are playing, they've still spent very very poorly.
Utd should not be able to play like they have been and be top of the league, its embarrassing for everyone else in the league.
Nope, tactically inept, completely incompetant in Europe, spending money on all the wrong players, his ridiculous attention deflecting Tevez situation last year, a player who was crucial to winning the title at the end and crucial this year who he still drops and seems to be trying to make into a not crucial player, and costing himself points.
He should never have gotten the job frankly, having shown only the ability to win the Italian league when the rest of the competition was relegated/deducted points for cheating and incompetance in Europe.
