theis Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Aha, seeing as though Man Utd winning the title causes citeh about as much hurt as it does for them when they get relegated, winning the title at COMS whilst at the same time relegating them would probably cause every city fan in the stadium at the time to commit suicide.

Confused Clarity Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 could one of you student types possibly pop into a bookies for me and find out the odds on us winning the League.

James07? Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I've really got mixed feelings about Boro. I can't help but think we'd not be able to cope as we did in 99 with getting to the very late stages of both cup competitions. I really want our total focus to be on winning the 21pts we need. The Cups seems like an unimportant distraction at the moment...and tbh getting beat this weekend is the last time an FA Cup defeat will be relatively pain free.

Confused Clarity Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 i don't think we will win the treble, though i do think we can win the treble.

I would be over-the-moon with the championship and would be wholly behind Fergie if he put out a 2nd string in the FA Cup until we go out. Although I agree we should always play a strong side in the CL, it will be a blessing in disguise if we go out in the 1/4 finals. Even if Larsson has stayed the squad would still be too small.
