Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 3 is the magic number !!!!

I'm off to see James at the O3 Academy in skunksville the morra ;)

Vaughan's third goal for the lads was a true piece of magic.

I too remember how good it felt to narrowly avoid relegation. Nowadays, it will be two visits to Wembley in one month instead.:thumbsup: CTID

Bet you loved it mate. Well done.

Paolo Di Canio the right choice now ????

Who cares after the celebration he did for the first goal alone?

but you can only taste disappointment now, you should be expected to win everything given the funds available

disappointed you didn't retain the league, nowhere near
disappointed you were so shite in Europe
disappointed you were feeble in the league cup

but I'm sure you will be enormously proud if you beat the mighty Wigan

Two impressive away victories in the North East this weekend...

the other one you ask?

well that was Sunderland winning at Newcastle

Says it all, scavenging in bin bags to find bottles. At least buy your own.

Yes they'll be regularly up there if they can manage to keep on spending silly money by somehow bypassing the fair play rules but they lack that certain something, don't know what it is. Maybe passion for the badge rather than the pay packet. Although not that much better, although I think the team spirit is better I think Chelsea will out perform them in the next few seasons.

This season it's not even like United have been playing vintage football, in fact it's been pretty average overall if I am honest. They have just been going about their business calmly and with minimal fuss and now at the business end they're +15pts!

Also, I bet the Arsenal fans aren't ecstatic about the prospect of RVP 'officially' winning his first EPL title at the Emirates....

Someone in a thread somewhere else said this season for English teams and the PL, it's not been incredible or with any real top 4 dominance, more like a collection of dwarves with United being the tallest dwarf.
