The united game 3 games in could be an interesting one, as United will have played Swansea and Chelsea by then. December looks quite a tasty month as well...with Spurs, Citeh and Chelsea...

So out of the title race by the 2nd week in November as per.

There's a surprise. The Mancs get their away game against us over during Suarez's ban. The only top club to fall inside the 6 game period.
Taggart's influence from beyond the grave pension book is still in evidence.

We haven't had a conspiracy for a while in here.

Taggart never factored in Suarez's replacement though!!

Another man that should have been knighted. What a legend. Its criminal to see the great men at this club throughout the years that have never received the recognition they deserve. Rival fans claim Liverpool fans always feel that the worlds against them but when you see all the knighthoods awarded to people over time you have to wonder how Shankly, Paisley, Dalglish etc never got what they deserved. On top of that you look at the cover-ups and lies in relation to Hillsborough and its easy to see why our fans often feels the worlds against LFC. It will make it all the sweeter though if we ever do reach the summit of English football again.

Totally agree with every word, Juan.

Amazing.

Not that we needed reminding but if anyone was in doubt about how big this club is or the magnitude of our support around the world then this was a timely reminder.

[Tes]

It's amazing how enduring our worldwide support is considering our relative lack of success, the treble and CL victory apart. It's why some of us think that top ownership, CEO, and management are the least that should grace our club.

It also goes to show that the nouveau riche still have a way to go.

If we could find ourselves another like that this Summer then it would be Luis who?

Michael Owen reveals his season tips for Chelsea, United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs

FORMER England striker Michael Owen has backed Jose Mourinho to beat David Moyes to the Premier League title this season.

Owen - who left Stoke City at the end of last season to join BT Sport's punditry team - believes that Chelsea will win the league this campaign.

The 33-year-old ex-Manchester United striker thinks Moyes will fail to retain the title at Old Trafford - because Mourinho cannot be matched.

"Chelsea are my favourites to win the league irrespective of transfer activity," said Owen. "The return of Jose Mourinho has transformed the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge.

"Mourinho has never lost at home in the Premier League and the ‘Special One’ thoroughly deserves his self-appointed title."

Owen was a United player for three seasons under Sir Alex Ferguson, and believes the reigning champions will struggle without the 71-year-old Scot in charge this season.

"While United have the most stable squad, the club as a whole is going through a period of transition both in terms of the manager and the backroom staff," Owen added.

"Much will depend on the form of Robin Van Persie and, if he hits the heights of last season, United can definitely expect to be in the running."

Owen also discussed his picks for the Champions League places, suggesting that Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham could all make the top four depending on their moves during the remainder of the transfer window.

"Arsenal’s prospects depend largely on their transfer activity, but if they don’t manage to secure a world-class striker, a top four position should still be achievable," he said.

"In their first season Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski scored a combined 22 league goals, bettering Van Persie’s initial tally in England of four – but the addition to the squad of a more prolific striker could make a huge difference.

"Spurs need to find the balance between adding to the squad and retaining the existing core," Owen said of Andre Villas-Boas' side.

"They are not shy of spending on new recruits but potentially more important is holding onto Gareth Bale among others and pushing on to the next level, which is securing a Champions League spot.

And on his first club Liverpool, Owen had this to say: "Much depends on star man Luis Suarez.

"If he goes it could be an uphill battle for Brendan Rogers who has urged the Liverpool fans to be patient over the summer months. Replacing him would be near-impossible and more than one forward replacement will have to be brought in to replicate his goals tally.

"If Suarez stays and a couple more signings join the ranks then the top four could even be within their sights.”

Michael Owen is making his predictions on www.sportlobster.com.

Does Owen understand how many make up the top four? Chelsea as champions, Arsenal, Spurs and even us to get top four, but if Van Persie fires then the Mancs will be in there also. So that's five teams in the top four and that's with totally forgetting the team that has finished 1st and 2nd in the last two seasons.

He wouldn't be trying to worm his way around our's and the Manc's fans would he? Either that, or for bloke who likes a bet his maths is bloody awful.
