Man U for a clean sweep?

No. Champions League will elude Man U I think. Villa just don't have the squad but we have done so well this season.

I wonder about the champions leage too and i think if they fall at any hurdle it will be the champions league. I just cant shift the feeling that they will win everything this season though.

To win a Champions League title back to back would be an incredible feat and I've got to agree that of all the remaining comps, that's the one hurdle we might not get over.
I've got a sneaking suspicion that Inter just might do a typical Italian job on us in the second leg and hit us on the bounce to steal the tie.

I am sure I heard a few Man U fans call this the mickey mouse cup last year....

It is, but when you're up for a clean sweep...you've gotta collect em' all!

It's all gone tits up now for us

right-track · 03-04-2009, 05:17 PM

How? You're still 3 points clear of Arsenal with everything to play for...

right-track · 03-04-2009, 05:18 PM

Wait...you are talking about a top 4 place and not having delusions of grandeur Lee?

It has started to fall apart recently. A few weeks ago I just couldnt see Arsenal catching Villa but now it all comes down to the next games. If the next games go Villa's way though then I think maybe 6 points is too big a gap for Arsenal tocome back from this late on in the season.
