Matches That Count (But Do Not Include Fulham)

Figure the watch :3d nervous: is on, so there is reason for a thread like this.

Pretty big match today, and you can count me as a bandwagon, gloryhunting ManUre fan for roughly two hours, starting within the hour I believe.

Match is on Fox, don't miss it.

 

Heh, yeah. Let's go ManU!

 

I will don my red fulham t-shirt and root for the devils.

 

This thread makes me uncomfortable. And yet, how can I disagree?

 

I feel like I'm routing for the gang bangers in the opening scenes of "A Clockwork Orange."

1-0 ManU

 

Well I'm not cheering for Ch***ea and thank goodness we don't have to, I can't quite see Tottenham getting relegated from 11th position in the table this late in the season...

I can take cheering for ManU a little easier, especially since I have half of them on my fantasy team this week for playing twice...Anyone know why Ferdinand has sat out the last two games???

 

"He leaves no margin for improvement, this man."

2-0 Ronaldo...er ManU

 

AH, I did it for a long time, might as well do it once more -- Go United! (This sheer has an expiration date of approximately 1700 EST today)

4-0 Good Guys -- er, MUFC

 

Ahhh lovely. I believe the red devils are the champs in the premiership again (how droll). This does make a great escape just a little more likely. :banana:

 

Not looking so good for Wigan - hooray!

Painful though it was to support Wet Spam - who OF COURSE let us down I am very mindful of the teams above us right now.

The next three games look very bleak for Wigan and neither is it an easy run for Reading.

Next week Wigan play Birmingham at home - the best result for us would be a draw leaving both of them within our sights but a Birmingham win would leave Wigan with little prospect of points at Chelsea the following week or from entertaining Spurs the week after.

Birmingham might get something at the JB but are unlikely to beat Everton at their place the following week or Villa away the one after.

Reading get to go visit Newcastle just as they hit a roll and we know how daunting the toon can be when they are fired up. After being defeated by us at the Cottage they then get the second hardest fixture in the Premiership and visit Arse at the Emirates.

So it aint all roses for anyone in the four slots above us. Happily.

Interesting times. Ww

 

Funny what a couple of weeks will do. Thought for sure the team we could most likely catch was Sunderland and then they go and beat Villa and Spam. I would say at this moment that Brum will finish higher than Wigan, but that will be a huge six-pointer at the JJB.

Can only worry about the next 90 minutes this Sat. and who knows maybe a slight glimmer of hope will still exist.

P.S. Have to say it was great to read a Witch report after toooo long of a layoff.

 

I feel that the weather in Chicago is appropriate for the mood on the threads...dark, dull, and rainey...

Don, your point about teams standing by is a great one...we need a lot of help and I can't even begin to figure out who it will come from...
