Well, half way thru the season already and what a change it's been. Man U already lost more games then they really should be able to win it (I said should!) and Newcastle on top?? As for my Ipswich town, all donations greatly received lol

Going from 5th place last year to one win going into Christmas. What to you know, three wins on the spin to double our points for the season going into the new year. Heres to Town staying up, Man U not making the Champions Leauge and Liverpool winning it to rub salt in Fergies wounds..

Sounds good to me :grin:

I'd vote for that too.

And of course Plymouth Argyle remaining in their rightful place at the top of Division Three by the end of the season.

Well at the moment nothing is cut and dry!!
Man Utd might have lost a few games but look at the table? Man Utd are only 3 points behind Arsenal who's top.and there's only like 3 to 6 points between 1st and 6th. and for my money I'd love to see Newcastle win the league more than the 'boring boring Arsenal' and the red machine of Man Utd; and what about Liverpool? they were just as bad in the 80's? so for me I'd love to see either Leeds or Newcastle win it!!
You know , my wife's uncle (who's american) watches the champion's league and other games on Foxsportsworld and he finds it difficult to believe how it is that english football fans dont want teams like Man Utd to either win games or win the tournament or just to succeed in general? I keep telling him that its years of hatred and sheer dislike!! Maybe I should show him this page eh? lol

I agree its pretty tight up there at the top of the premier league ,my team CHELSEA where making thier usual late run at the championship only to lose to southampton today so its tight.But the blues will hang on in there so it could be anybodys title out of the top 6 .. COME ON THE BLUES

Wow - another Chelsea fan on the forum.
I was back in London for the thrashing of Bolton, narrow loss to Arsenal and a great win against Newcastle.

Shame we can't keep a run going.

There are a few chelsea fans on this board a lady used to post regularly ( cant remmeber her name SUE i think ) so you are not alone

I see the Premiership table is looking a little more ominous now that Man Utd is perched there at second place. Still, there's a few more games to go yet, we can all live in hope I suppose that anyone but United will win the league!!

Glad to see that Spurs are making there annual run for the middle of the table, they won a few but then, with no surprise to us seasoned fans they lost a few. Will somebody explain to me how Cardiff beat a team that cost 96 million quid to assemble...anyone...anyone ??
Don't write off Man U yet, unfortunately they always find a way to win..something.

who on Earth knows why? :lol:
but I know that David O'Leary isnt too chuffed with Sam Hamman!!!
I havent seen the game yet but I see Man Utd's against the Villa
Man Utd have got the luck of a Pox Doctor's clerk I swear? :evil:
3 goals in 5 minutes from being 2-0 down??
I suppose thats the magic of the FA cup eh :lol:
I think Hamman was at Wimbledon when they beat Liverpool in the FA Cup final remember that?
but my fondest memory(getting teary eyed now)was when non league Worcester City beat Liverpool in the FA cup back in '59 and when Worcester beat Plymouth Argyle in 1978 (I was there as a kid!!) Malcom Allison was managing Plymouth then, and we went on to lose to Coventry (thats it it too much for me !!!)

All the best
Alan :cry:
