What? No thread about the league leaders? Shocking

There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

So do we change the title of the thread or does it become a Man U thread now?

Let's just turn it into a thread about the league leaders. Blurred seemed angry when we didn't have one. I'll start.

Rooney is fat.

I'm just amazed the thread lasted this long, to be honest! We'll see where it goes from here - all sides seem to be stuttering and doing their best not to win it this year, I'd imagine there are a few more twists and turns left yet. And although technically only two teams have their fate in their own hands, nobody's discounting Chelsea at the moment because there's that long to go, and it's still very much a three-horse race in my eyes - if Chelsea were to get points off us at Anfield and we were to nick a draw at Old Trafford they'd be right back in it.

Aye, if they can beat Fulham at home (trickier than it sounds, y'know ;)) then they'll only be a couple of points off the top. 3-way fight going into the new year, although I still think Japan will bugger up United's season by delaying another game, and with all the added travelling and things.
This has happened sooner than I expected, Japan hasn't affected them either it seems.

They're in that run at the moment, that's for sure, spawnily getting past teams 1-0 (Stoke and yourselves, two massive late goals for them). Much as I dislike them, you have to admire their staying power to get those key goals.

Still, all to play for - who knows, we might actually start playing at some point this season. We've fumbled along without showing our best and are joint top in late-January. Wonderful. Shame that Japan didn't appear to slow their momentum, but oh well.

I would happily take that bet with anyone on the forum that we will finish no lower than 3rd.

I am expecting us to finish no lower than 3rd. Whether we come 1st, 2nd or 3rd is too close to call at this stage.

And in your conviction you will be offering better odds than SKYBET in order to secure my monkey?

Why, what odds are Skybet offering on us finishing no higher than 4th?

Rumour from Skysport has Juventus lined up to make a bid for Dirk Kuyt for TWENTY EIGHT MILLION. Now football really has gone mad. :shock:

Check Transfer Watch on Skysports. It's there in black and white.
