Mancester United - to take Premiership title again?

Lets be clear - am a Gunners fan - am only putting out this post cause Man United do seem to be doing something right this season. Will they take the premiership title again? Well, their pretty close - I just hope Liverpool kicks their @#%&*.

I'll tell you one reason I don't like them. They pretty much think their kings. There are a whole lot more football clubs out there that outshine them. Walk into any bar when there's a premiership game on - (and yes - there will be a whole bunch of Manchester supporters, who will put the other teams you're routing for down - and say how their teams the best) and you'll find a Manchester supporter - hurting your eyes with that red jersey.

I thought supporting a team is about a faith and passion in that team - no matter who their playing against, and for how long you've supported them. For instance - I've supported Arsenal - since they had Ian Rush raining goals for Arsenal.

You ask these bastards how long they've supported the team - they give you answers like - for two years - or since I was 20 - bullshit (yeah am not censoring that!!) - you all stink of "followers of a fad". I'd like to see a Manchester supporter who's been one since he first saw a ball being kicked. And the day he decided to be a fan - the first game he watched Manchester play - they lost! I run into a friend of mine (yeah nigga I think you're supports fake too!!) who has a lot of family - and their all Man U supporters. Except one kid who's 12 years old. The kids a Liverpool fan. Thats support!! Why? - cause you love the way they play - and you like the personalities on the team - the kind of charisma they exude during a game when their lossing 3-0 - and the kind of look other bastards give you when you say you support them. Not, and I repeat - not - cause every idiot is wearing red!!

Anyway for all the real Manchester followers - and the billion fake ones!! - here's how the red devils feel about clinching the Premiership again.

Destiny of title in Manchester United's hands, says Nemanja Vidic:

The Serbian defender scored the first goal on the cusp of half-time and then enjoyed one of the easiest afternoons he will experience as Sir Alex Ferguson's team closed to within a point of their second-placed opponents.

Despite a surprisingly goal-shy first half of the campaign – United have scored fewer times than Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester City – Vidic feels Luiz Felipe Scolari's men have helped the champions rediscover their magic touch in front of goal, handing them the initiative in the title race.

He said: "It was an important weekend because Liverpool only drew at Stoke and we beat Chelsea, but we don't look at our opponents. We just have to concentrate on ourselves.

"We still have the big teams to play at Old Trafford and the results will depend on us, not them.
"We have needed to score more. The problem is to score at the right time, because if you get one in the first half the other team has to open up a bit more to chase the result. Once we get into that situation our attacking players mean we are very dangerous.

"That is what we have finally managed to do. That early goal is crucial because so often this season the opposition have pulled 11 men behind the ball and we have found it hard to break them open."

United are certain to face another packed defence on Wednesday night when Steve Bruce's in-form Wigan, who have won six of their past seven games, travel to Old Trafford for the first of the champions' two games in hand on their title rivals.

Victory against the club's former captain, coupled with a win at Bolton on Saturday, would put United top, with leaders Liverpool not in action until Monday night's Merseyside derby.
Ferguson is likely to have to plan for both games without Patrice Evra, who limped off during Sunday's match with a hamstring injury, as well as defensive linchpin Rio Ferdinand, who on Monday underwent another scan on his back after suffering a recurrence of the injury which has ruled him out of the past five games.

With the England vice-captain likely to be out of action for at least another fortnight, Ferguson will continue to put his faith in youngster Jonny Evans. The 21-year-old has stood out as United have clocked up a club record eight games without conceding a goal, a run in which Evans has featured four times.

Ferguson said: "We sent Rio for another scan because we want to get to the bottom of the problem. But for a young boy, Jonny has been superb, especially against Chelsea. His reading of the game, his use of the ball – he was a giant for us."
