Barcelona have the model midfield. That's the standard we need to copy.

I don't think you can have a carbon copy of their midfield, but that's THE formation you want to play. 4-3-3, 3 players who can change roles and are unmarkable with 2 players pulling the stringsin midfield and the other midfielder breaking up the play.

Sorry to butt in here but, "BURNLEY F.C. WON" !

Away from home as well. And it was shown live here in Georgia. This could be the start of their much needed turn around. To go down 6-1 at home the week before then to bounce back like that. I still live in hope...

United's remaining fixtures;

A. Man City
H. Spurs
A. Sunderland
H. Stoke

Chelsea's remaining fixtures;

A. Spurs
H. Stoke
A. Liverpoo
H. Wigan

If United win all their remaining matches. City away on Saturday being the tricky one.
And Chelsea lose any one of either the Liverpoo or Spurs game aaaaand fail to win in the other...United win the League by 1 point!

Easy.

Easy.

Arsenal have an easier run in than us as well.
We might not even finish second which would be an absolute fucking disaster.
Oh well, think positive

TBH whoever wins, football loses.

As a neutral id like to see Arsenal nick it at the last but they've struggled so far with their "easy" run in.

They have. I feel Chelsea are gonna do the double. Friends of mine from the blue side of the City were saying in August United aren't good enough, Michael Owen is crap, Valencia is a Wigan player ete. Chelsea are the new champions, and I reminded them that WE are still champions and we will do our best to defend it. But now I feel it's Chelsea's title to lose.

Its definitely Chelsea's to lose but I wouldn't be setting it in stone just yet. Chelsea have been a cut above the rest this season but none of the top 3 have exactly had a dominant season. It's not Chelsea haven't given plenty of opportunities but when they do it's like no one wants to take advantage of that.

If Man United or Arsenal manage to win the rest of their games and not drop another point, i feel Chelsea have one more slip up in them at least.
