glory,glory man united?

I was thinking the same like you last season until Manchester City clawed back from 5 points down. I was thinking the same when Manchester City was 1-2 down playing Queen's Park Rangers in the last match of the season until Dzeko and Agüero scored in the dying seconds. Manchester City and Chelsea are such strong teams that we can not really write them off even if we are having RVP, Kagawa and a healthy full team.

I think the imminent return of Phil Jones and Chris Smalling will address their defensive frailties. Carrick has had to slot in to an unfamiliar defensive role for many games, so that would also free him up to resume his midfield role. Vidic is also due to return before January, so as time goes on I can only see one winner -Man United!

Yes, I think it is a definite 3-horse race between those three. Tottenham's home defeat to Wigan today has compromised their chances on top of the likely lengthy injury to the impressive Dembele and constant talk of Bale going to Spain. Arsenal would be the natural outside choice but their strikers just can't seem to hit it off. I think that as time goes on United will gain in strength as Rooney and RVP gel, and three key defenders return soon in the form of Jones, Smalling and, in Decvember, Vidic.

Tottenham Hotspur is not performing as well as they did in the last season. I think that firing Redknapp is not a good decision for them. In the last year Tottenham used to have the chance to compete for the title, but began to fall down when they lost to Man City with the penalty by Balotelli, who should had been sent off in the mid of the match. And they relied too much on Adebayor. Because that his performance was getting down, Tottenham faced a difficult time and then finally moved down to the 5th. In this season they still have chance for the top 4 but now they are more than 5 points behind the first group. The performance of Everton in these few rounds are also getting worse. But it has been a great achievement for Everton for being in such a position as they are not rich at all. In fact although they have been more than 5 points behind, we should not forget that Man Utd was once also so many points behind the Man City in the last season but they still got a chance to be the title. Unfortunately for them, the match of Bolton ended earlier than the match between Man City and QPR. So in the last few minutes, QPR knew that they are survival and suddenly they stopped to fight against Man City, which lead Man City to get the title. So I still hold that Everton and Tottenham still have a chance in the competition of the title also it has been extremely hard.

Phill Jones is OKay. But I think that Smalling is not so trust-able. I think that it was his mistake which made Man Utd lost against Basel in the last year. Man Utd is also in lack of good players, especially defenders. It is strange that I find out that it seems that every team is in lack of top players. It seems that today the number of incredible top players have decreased compared to the last generation. Maybe it is a kind of imagination? But I just find out that nowadays it's very hard to find a top defender and a top striker in the transfer market.

The bad news for Chelsea and City is that key defenders Phil Jones and Chris Smalling are due to return from injury within the next two weeks.Furthermore, Nemanja Vidic is due to return by the end of December. You are right in saying that United's achilles heel has been their makeshift defence. However, the fact that they are still on top in spite of this should make other teams very concerned with the impending return of Jones,Smalling and Vidic.

what do you know about MU?? do you believe RVP will gives many influences for MU??

You should be very proud of Hernandez, Maria. He is a great player...I just wish we could see more of him.

we are, his grandma and grand pa live 5 houses down from me here. Just normal people.
