my sole reason of calling Manchester lucky is not only because they score late goals but also including other various factors. To be really fair, Mancs hasn't really perfomed well this season. I can recall some games like WBA(away), blackpool(away), liverpool(home, berbatov dive, think it was FA cup against 10 men), Arsenal(home), chelsea(away). Those are some of the poor mancs game i can remember that they shouldn't have actually won more probably a draw could have been fair and let's not forget stupid refree decisions(12th man) that usually favor Mancs all time(Fergie influence?).

Accept it, ManU hasn't been at it's best and lot of games are scrappy wins. You can still argue that a win is a win but my point is simple: Mancs doesn't has the class to be the champions. This season looks possibly Manc's easiest 19th but look at the whole table. Chelsea slipped out of nowhere(Drogba's Malaria was the cause prabably? ashely cole and malauda not in form?), Arsenal is immature as usual despite their ability and lack of consistency, then comes manchester city which is still rebuilding...Liverpool is out of sight at the moment though i believe they would be title contenders next season with few signings if they buy a good left back, a winger, and a reliable defender. Tottenham relies too much on Bale, van der vart and lennon. Defoe's injury was a big problem. So who else was going to compete to Mancs this season??? NOne of the teams in preimer league have consistency to compete this season. So, Mancs are at top at the moment.
In europe, mancs so far hasn't met any strong opponents. Valencia at group stage, then marseille, chelsea(out of form then), and schalke...so far..lucky to get to all the way to final???ok, you can still argue that no teams in champions league are easy and i'll admit but still none of those team provide strong competence...I tell you what i'll consider mancs real champs if they beat barcelona at Wembley...interesting???(considering the fact Arsenal did beat barcelona 2-1(first leg), and Wembley is very much going to be Manc supporters)

Next season, it will be different. Ofcourse, ferguson will bring some new players to replace veterans like scholes, giggs and neville. And so will chelsea, liverpool, arsenal, spurs and city(as usual). i am just waiting for this season to be over and get on to next season and see the real competition for the EPL title.

Ok anyways we'll see who wins on Sunday at Arsenal. The betting bookies says 50-50. but i am going for gooners....2-1...van persie...n nasri 2 score....plese no howard webb!!
