I think they will ... Jose will not want to lose at home for the second time ever in the PL at Stamford Bridge.... and definitely not to one of the big boys.

Words are cheap imho... class and john terry never go together, unless you're talking about his performances sometimes. Theres a user on boards called JT26 I just noticed. I nearly puked (genuinely) when I saw it.

I don't like the man but just after finishing the game that cemented them as champs he took time in the interview on the field to say it.

Back to us,I'm not looking forward to the Palace game at all.I'd take a 1-0 win at this stage just to get us back on track.

José loves trolling Liverpool, theres not a hope they'll lose.

Not really. I think the day that's in it, a picture of him as an avatar plus the name JT26 made me ill a little. I dislike the man that much! What a lovely guy to have as your avatar and username, NOT

People over lapping at pace near or inside the box like City are doing and have done for a while is one thing we are missing it, shaw seems to be the only player we have with the pace or brain to do it atm.

Fair enough, but the cynic in me can't but think everything he says is cheap and fake. I'll stop now its clear I don't like the man!

Back to us, I hope Hull keep winning and are safe again they play us... oh and that Spurs and City draw

Hardly madness when it's now an 'old' jersey and a new brand is taking over in a few months and they are sitting on stock

Something I wish we would do more.

You what Uniteds biggest problem right now is? After hundreds of millions of pounds spent we actually don't have one of the biggest cliches in football, a strong spine to the team!

Courtois - Terry - Matic - Fabregas - Costa
Schmeichel - Stam - Keane - Scholes - Cole
Seaman - Campbell - Viera - Henry
Cech - Terry - Makelele - Lampard - Drogba
Hart - Kompany - Toure - Aguero

Every successful team needs that strong spine, it is abolutely vital and we don't have it. We don't have a dominant nailed on first choice defender, we don't have any consistency in midfield selection and our best striker seems to be played elsewhere as often as not.

The spine of the team, you get one and then you build around it. Its no wonder we look so fragile when we don't have anything like a strong core.

The away one is nice, although I like the looks of the various away Adidas plain ones that have done the rounds

I'm not overly concerned about the performance although win yesterday would have had Top 4 done and dusted. Now we little nervy.

City winning today turns out to be better of 2 evils for us.

Agree with this now its only the Pool we have to watch - drop points v Palace and Liverpool beat Chelsea and I think momentum could push them past us.

Liverpool have bottled every chance they've gotten this season, they've folded against most of the bigger teams. I'm expecting Chelsea to finish them off.

Yeah but they are still a good side on their day... they could realistically beat Chelsea, Palace and Stoke. Its still on our own hands but our inability to break down sides who park the bus, our ability to concede stupid goals and our injury list is slightly worrying.

Arsenal at Old Trafford will be tough - very tough!

The_Kew_Tour

We are still on 65 points for last month.

Maybe not bottling it in 2 tough away fixtures, but we are making Top 4 much tougher then it should be too.

Again, yesterday football wise was not complete disaster but we still don't have a killer punch to finish off job at minute.

Its desperately annoying - Chelsea upset our rhythm and winning mentality (even though we really should have won) - we have yet to recover... Carrick out too is massive.

Arsenal wont park the bus though and could have automatic qualification wrapped up by the time we meet them. Not sure about Crystal Palces ability to lock it up either but they are a good counter attacking team.

Liverpool are still playing as bad or worse than us even with the win against a very poor qpr team, Mourhinio dont like to lose.

I think most of us were still happy enough after the Chelsea game cause of the way we played and the few injuries that upset the setup of the team.

Last week was very disappointing, but forgivable, but yesterday has us looking over or shoulder again now.

What about a bid for Benteke in the summer, young strong fast, good finisher. His record for Villa is excellent, one goal in every 2 games. I think he'd score a tonne in a strong team and might be gotten for a decent price

if we can get him for under 30 million, I'd be happy. Give them januzaj and wilson on loan as well

Talk on twitter that Liverpool have submitted a bid for Depay, get the finger out Woody. I'd be proper píssed off if we let Depay go to Liverpool and wasted the summer and ridiculous money on Bale.

The Mirror are reporting they have "cool their interest" as they want to spend their cash on a star striker.

Contradicting stories, and most likely neither is verifiable or true. Paper doesn't refuse ink, and the papers and the writers know they can recycle stories about clubs X,Y and Z battling for players A, B and C all summer long with no fear of a club confirming or denying.

TBH, I think the Depay deal is essentially done and both clubs are just waiting for the end of the season to finalise it so there is no loss of focus in either squad. Certainly might be disconcerting for Young or Januzaj to know Depay is on the way to take their slot in the squad.

LVG confirmed RVP won't take another penalty, nor will Rooney.

utdreport.com ‏@UtdReport
Louis van Gaal has confirmed that Robin van Persie is no longer #mufc penalty taker. [bbc]
Louis van Gaal on if Van Persie would take another penalty: "No. He is now at the end of the road." [bbc]
Van Gaal: "It is always (the same)," he added. "Wayne Rooney has missed also, so when you miss, you are at the bottom again." [bbc]

Hearing rumours De Gea has signed a new deal with us, sounds a lot like what Ronnie did, one more year and we'll lift a big fee next summer for him....

Bit harsh, if one of them scores 20 pens in a row then misses one he's out according to LVG

Are those real quotes? Sounds pretty disrespectful towards RVP but you know LVG calls it as it is

so who's on pens now? Mata or Herrera?

That tufty fella from Stretford End flags said he heard it first. Not sure where the 2 year thing came outta but few random people saying it on twitter.

Don't believe it myself till I see it but better to see than he's agreed a deal with Madrid and I'm a sucker for transfer/contract gossip

Lithium93_

I'd rather De Gea sign a 5 year extension instead of 2.
