Premier League Title Favourites 2001/2002

[King]

Liverpool
24.03 Chelsea H
30.03 Charlton H
07.04 Blackburn H
13.04 Sunderland A
20.04 Derby H
27.04 Tottenham A
11.05 Ipswich H

I don't think Pool will loose to many points here.
Especially with all the home games they have.
Come on Chelsea.

Arsenal
30.03 Sunderland H
01.04 Charlton A
06.04 Tottenham H
13.04 Manchester Utd A
20.04 Ipswich H
27.04 Bolton A
11.05 Everton H
TBA West Ham H

Alot of Home games for the Arse.
We need to take three points in our game with Arse. With the form Charlton are in I think they are the only other side that could get a result.

Man. Utd.
23.03 Middlesbrough H
30.03 Leeds A
06.04 Leicester City A
13.04 Arsenal H
20.04 Chelsea A
27.04 Ipswich A
11.05 Charlton H

Very tough run-in, but not impossible.
United have by far the most difficult run-in of the top 3 teams. A bit of luck on and off the field is required I think, if United are going to pip the Arse and Pool to the title.
From the lists of remaining games it doesn't look good for United especially if we loose any points along the way.

Every game now is a MUST win situation.

Do we stand any chance of winning the league this season?
Any thoughts?
Will United's poor form early on in the season be their downfall?

If I was a neutral and wished to make a bet I would have to place the Arse and Pool as favourites, based solely on their remaing ties.

However I'm a United fan and couldn't stand it if either Pool or Arse won, especially the Pool.

COME ON UNITED.

Oh, after saw this fixtures, Liverpool have a big chance to earn the points obviously. The strongest opponent team against them just have Chelsea, so hope Chelsea can win them.

On the other hand, MU still have 3 big matches forthcoming, against Leeds, Arsenal and Chelsea respectively. In addition, we have many away matches, just hope MU can do their best to win the title again. Especially we must have to WIN the match against Arsenal if MU want to win the title.

Indeed Arsenal and Liverpool have what looks like handy run in's, but remember there is no easy game, who wants to play a team that is fighting for survival?? I think the experience of United being in this situation for the last 7-8 years will stand too them, Arsenal are the dangers, they are out of Europe now, that will give them a break and thay have a good squad and the experience also. As a footie fan it makes great watching. Come on Man Utd.. and for all those who are lucky to see them each week at home, get behind them and sing your hearts out.

Liverpool's chance will be the worst. On the paper their opponents are not that strong, but consider they are the team who favour defensive-counter tactic, they will always find it difficult to break another team who also come to defend.

I think the possibilty for the three teams to win the title is: Arsenal(50%), United(40%), Pool(10%). Arsenal's exit from Europe will make them even more dangerous, as they now have no other thing to worry about except playing their full power in every league match from now. And when you see their fixtures I really can't see where will they drop a lot of points. That's why we MUST beat them at home and then not manage anything worse than two draw and all win in the remaining matches, otherwise we may lose the league this season.
