I think it'll be 5 personally. D, W, D.

I don't think that'd be a disaster, but we will all go back to moaning about how we draw too many games.

2 points.... :eek:


:p

Number one; I think we'll struggle to beat Southampton - they're playing well,

Number two: Think we'll do Chelsea - I get the impression that Chelsea may be the club's rivals, but the players, the players fucking hate Chelsea.

Putting it out there - 9 points.

I think we will get 6 points - we will beat everybody but Chelsea who will beat us 1-nil.

Chelsea may be going for the record number of wins in a row in the PL. (if they win their next two)
I really think our players would love to stop them doing this. Beat Southampton and Watford and hold Chelsea one each. I'd take that now but Poch will be telling the players they can beat Chelsea. We'll come out fast in that one.

Would people rather drawing the first 2, then beating Chelsea, or

winning the first 2 but losing to Chelsea.

  • Southampton away
  • Watford away
  • Chelsea home
Can't help but feel this is a critical period off the back of two home games we simply had to win.

United have turned a corner for sure, and finally the penny has dropped to play Pogba in a three man midfield. Expect them to get stronger as the season wears on.

I think we need to take 7 points from those 3. Tough ask but I'm hoping we find more consistentcy now. We've been hanging in there but we need to go up a gear or two to last the distance this season imo - for top 4.

What do people think we'll take from those 3 and how much will Poch rotate? Wanyama has played a lot, maybe he'll get a rest against Watford.
I don't know why but I read this like a horoscope, could almost hear Mystic Meg's voice.

'United have turned a corner for sure, and finally the penny has dropped to play Pogba in a three man midfield. Expect them to get stronger as the season wears on. But a red nosed man looks on as a 'Special One' fails to deliver. The letter 'P' and the number '45' will become significant. The Red Planet is in Uranus'.

Vertonghen, Walker and Wanyama are all on 4 yellows. Think the cut-off date is 31st December, so they've only got 1 game to get through.
I think our game at Watford also counts.

The cut off is usually at the end of a full game week, so although they say NYE, it will probably include games played the following day as part of the same set of fixtures.

I'm really looking forward to it actually. Hoping we do what we did last year which is hang around the Top 5ish then sneak in when someone else fails. I'd like congested fixtures to play into our hands as you'd assume we have a high level of fitness. Away games also may allow us to play a bit more on break.

The Southampton game has zip-zip written all over it, take it to the bank

Watford I reckon we will win 1-0, Chelsea I think we will lose 0-1. Goals galore!!!

Ive got a feeling about that Chelsea game...Think we'll surprise everyone. We seem to perform at our best when there is no expectation on us to win.

We seem to have a psychological hold over Southampton , and oddly enough Watford will make me the most nervous, cause we somehow seem to make hard work of teams like them

Looking forward to 6 points against first two and draw against Chelsea = 7
More and we will the league, next years Cl and the World Club Title.
6 and I will slit a wrist.
5 both wrists
4 my throat
3 who knows
less than 3 unthinkable.

We and everyone else are always two players short of a title winning team
and the next three games are always crucial.
