We can go 8 points clear at the top on Sunday. I don't see UTD slipping up with a lead like that. City are going to have to win every game now, a draw won't be good enough for them.
Hopefuly we can go better on GD to City on Sunday as well. Only need a few goals.

Didn't realise we were on tv on Friday 
Fancy us for a win with the form we are in but away to Swansea will be very tough especially with Perch/Will and I expect them to be tested a lot more than Pool managed on Sunday.
HAWAY THE LADS!

3 points please spurs
Barnsley vs West Ham is on bbc1 (as advertised after the saints game last saturday) 
Big game saturday of Saints at home to pomp! not on tv but should be a better game than the away fixture...
Followed by Crystal Palace on monday which is nearly as big as we sold 6000 tickets to recreate the "dellhurst park" game (a game we took more fan to Selhurst park than palace did)....

Huge game for us on Sunday and for City i suppose...dont think we will win, perhaps a draw at best but i think our loss last weekend against QPR is going to hurt us as we can hardly afford to drop points now :/
Saying that we are playing at home so hopefully we can bag a win, which will in no doubt infuriate City and their supporters as they will be further behind Utd
.
Should get a win on Wed at Wolves but seeing as we dropped points against QPR last weekend, i wouldnt be surprised if Wolves get a result from us :/

Really not sure what's going to happen Sunday, should City be 8 points behind us before the game that's a massive physiological hurdle to overcome and to make matters worse its hardly a game they guaranteed to win anyway, that said I don't see Arsenal winning regardless so I'll play safe an predict a 0-0 (maybe a 0-1 win to City)
As for us I didn't realise there were midweek games so I'd go with this against QPR and then change things for the game with Wigan 4 days later;
---------------De Gea------------
Rafael--Evans--Ferdinand--Evra
Valencia--Carrick--Cleverley--Nani
---------------Rooney
-----------------Welbeck
Subs: Amos, Jones, Smalling, Scholes, Giggs, Young, Hernandez

I said end of last thread, it's worrying, worst case is Spurs end up 3 points clear of us, Chelsea and Newcastle 2 points behind. Best case is significantly better but I don't see that happening. Sunderland have a very good chance of winning against Spurs though but that would still leave us with 3 teams vying for a top four spot all within 2 points(maybe premature but I'm assuming a Newcastle and Chelsea win this week).
Thing of it is though, I can actually see Arsenal winning, less because of how good we are but, City have kinda of blown it, the mental side of the game is a huge issue for them right now and dropping more points at Sunderland, having the manager blame their 2 goal striker who is their only form striker, after having a go at him before the game aswell wasn't one of his best moves. Then City watch Utd extend the lead, with the title challenge hanging on by a thread City could easily crumble further and perform badly.
Unfortunately the reverse is obviously also possible, they might see the title as all but gone now, which could lift the pressure and see them spank us silly, especially as its their away form that has disappeared rather than home form or both.
If both teams were in good form, I'd put City down as HUGE favourites, with them seemingly crumbling, could go either way.

3 points at the DW pleaseBig weekend of football! Going to Dagenham and Redbridge v Burton on Friday, Brentford v Bury on Saturday and then West Ham v Birmingham on Sunday.
Quality! Round it off and come to Selhurst park on Monday for Palace vs saints?
Dagenham's stadium is a funny place to go, nicer than West Ham's too.....
Same. Hoping for a blinder from Doni!
tbh if you cant beat this Villa side at home then Dalglish needs to have a serious look at himself. Although the table doesn't lie Villa along with Wolves have been the two worst teams in the league this season imo
