That spell of Everton pressure seems like it was from a different game, never got their noses in at all - another comfortable win. Must be easy going as a United fan knowing you've already won the title in Feb!
Definitely not over yet. However if we win our next 3 games (which we really should) and Man City slip up against Chelsea, i will then confidently say that we have probably won it
It isn't over until it's over.

Lettuce be cereal, City were waaaay better last season and still needed a win with the last kick of the season pretty much to clinch it, this season they're a laughing stock, as much as a team in 2nd can be. Chelsea aren't winning consistently and their own fans are mostly aghast at the manager - can't see much changing this far in, Spurs will never win the league while the above teams exist in their present form, and we're playing for 4th like we always do. I can't really see you losing 3+ games and City winning all their remaining ones when they're getting humiliated by teams like Southampton.

You mean like we were heavily outplayed by Southampton in both games? Only difference is Van Persie saved us the first time. Could easily have lost both those games.

It's Man United though, you can play like turd for 89mins and still get points from games, now more than ever with RVP. 12 point lead with everyone else looking poor... it's like saying Madrid have a shot catching Barca up this year. I think one of the team commented themselves that last year they spent too much time thinking about City and not on their own game - lesson learned this year apparently.
Very calm and drama free dismantling of Everton by United this afternoon.
Valencia bothered to put a shift in an nullified Baines, Jones did an excellent job of badgering Fellani who, for the most part of the game regressed to the headless clogger he was when he first signed for Everton.

Thought Evans was actually pretty damn good today. He's coming along well, just he does have a couple of moments in him across a season.

Whats going on with Valencia, he is a shadow of his former self.
He used to fire decent crosses in all the time, now he almost gets in to a good position and ... stops...

Stops... does the 'shimmy' and then... passes to the opponent or gets run off the ball. You decide!

I think José has seen all he needs to see today. Still relying on giggs at 97 - check. Weak midfield - check. Rvp off form - check. Winger still Valencia - check.
I think he'll be a worried man tonight!

My word here we go again, Nick regaling us with his tactical prowess.
Relied on Giggs at 97 - Scored today, Carrick rested - Check
Weak Midfield - Contained Fellaini and Pineear - Check
RvP off form - Ainsdale beach has less sand than Old Trafford at the moment, Scored today, leading Premiership Scorer with 19 - Check
Maureen so not arsed about United he came to the game today - Check
