SpursEverton, i think, is the least certain one. They'll still be in a relegation dog fight by then + its a derby - they'll be well up for it.
But probably/hopefully by then, Liverpool will have collected so many points they'll be outta sight in 2nd place

SpursIs this meant to be a serious post? Liverpool have Hamann and Sissoko who will be rotated between the difficult games. Benitez has nailed squad rotation so don't kid yourself thinking fitness will be the problem..
Yeh, but the squad rotation works on the principle of tough games, less tough games, tough games, less tough games. Gerrard is going to need to place in every one of those games, bar the 2 at the start. Alonso too. They are going to get tired, and when one of them are dropped, Hammann and Sissisko are nowhere near replacements, one because he is no longer what he was, the other because he isn't what he is going to be yet.Your assessment of each upcoming games is reasonable enough but slightly optimistic to suit where you want to see United..
Duh, united fan
As for Ronaldo always coming good after Christmas.. How many after Christmas's has he had for United? Very naive..
3, and all of them he has preformed on.
How many seasons has Lampard been a top player? Yet we generalise based on those seasons, and me using 3 seasons is naive.Mike.
12 wins and 4 draws
If Liverpool do that, they deserve to beat us.
3- Arsenal > their home form should see them thru-good enuff
Yet Uniteds away form, which is better than Chelseas, won't see them through? Wheres the logic there?
That's not how it works . From here on in teams are fighting for position. Ther will be no easy games for any team.
Spot on, and I think Liverpool will be more tired.
Ultimately I think there are three reasons why Man Utd will do better than Liverpool.
1. Stronger attack force by a mile, will get the goals. There is also great cover in it aswell. It is self-reliant, and not based at all on the midfield. It is based on a partnership and some good wing work, nothing to do with central midfield. Since we have huge cover on the wings to supply similar absymal levels of service, I don't expect much to change. That said, if Rooney or Ruud get injuried in any long term sense, we're ****ed. But we have Saha/Rossi/Ole/Smith as rotation to keep them fresh, like Ruud, who recently got a 2 game rest.
2. I agree with some anaylsis of Liverpools defense, and I think it won't hold up forever. This is best shown by Bolton and by Luton[I include this only because Liverpool played will a full strength team, if it was a youth team, like Arsenals game was, I'd ignore it completely, but it wasn't].
3. Liverpools midfield can only take them so far, and they will start to get tired, as they don't have cover to match the quality of Gerrard and Alonso. United's midfield is just consistantly ****e, so nothing is going to change there
4. United have mastered the away form this season, the harder thing to do. So for united to turn it around(lol, like we're doing so bad), they just have to sure up at home. That is done by an improved defense, which we have done by the signing of two new defenders, who liverpool will meet next sunday.
All in all, I expect the table to look like this after the next 9 games.
Chelsea - 1000000000000000000
Man Utd - 62-70[1/3 + 8-12 + 1 + 7/9]
Liverpool - 59-63
Arsenal - 55-64[7-9 + 3-6 + 3 + 1/3 + 4-6
Can you say easy run?Arsenals run over 9 games:
Everton - A
West Ham - H
Brum - A
Bolton - H
Blackburn - A
Fulham - A
Liverpool - H
Charlton - H
Portsmouth - A
Utd's run over 9 games:
Liverpool - H
Blackburn - A
Fulham - H
Portsmouth - A
West Ham - H
Wigan - A
Newcastle - H
West Brom - A
Brum - H
Then we have a bitch of a close season
Anyway, thats how I see it.
----It's unbelievable how biased some people here can be....
You notice how it all appears to be bias to Liverpool from United fans, and United fans from Liverpool.
So really calling people biased, and not accepting that we are all football fans and not exactly the paradigm of objectivity is somewhat silly.0 -

Boltonthe team that comes second will be the team with the second highest amount of points. and it wont be chelsea, but no one can say who it will be.
i see no easy games. chelsea were pushed by sunderland, west brom have been on fire, boro have self destructed, city blow hot and cold, wigan have gone from winners to losers and back again, blackburn cant stop winning, portsmouth may come good after allthe transfers, no one ever knows what charlton are doing, least of all clan curbishly i reckon, everton can beat anyone on their day and newcastle are just a complete enigma.
i dont see how anyone can say there are any easy games.
after all, a 4 -1 thrashing handed out by chelsea at liverpool is not what youd call typical.
no typical games , no easy games.
i for one an looking forward to our automatic CL spot
