Gut feeling, and i can't wait to see ManUre crash and burn.
biased indian

anything.. other than Man u and arsenal winning ..........

International Captain
Would personally put it down to a preference and bias more than anything.
Most people I know that support non-United sides (with the odd exception of Arsenal, not sure on exactly why) are saying they think Chelsea will take it this season... although the bookies and media are all saying United - along with, of course, the United fans.Sidenote - Eagles and Fletcher are decent as squad players. I wouldn't have said so at the start of last season, but Fletch impressed me well enough and Eagles has only improved at a fast rate... but will reserve full judgement 'til he plays more games that actually mean something.

Don't see how it's getting-out considering he hasn't even flopped yet.
It doesn't take much analysis to figure out it's true, either.

Basically, the key point is that anyone saying with any degree of confidence who they think will win it is being a bit of a mug.Would personally put it down to a preference and bias more than anything.
Personally, I thought amonth or so ago that Chelsea have a slight edge, but events of the past few weeks have made me make United very slight favourites.

It's just that, correct me if I'm wrong, the semis and final of the Carling Cup are in the period when Chelsea lose some of their best players. If he mentioned Liverpool or Arsenal I could understand but it's a bit of a risk saying Chelsea will win it unless they're facing a Championship or bottom half Prem team.Would personally put it down to a preference and bias more than anything.

Huzzah! Should start against City then. Rooney and Tevez partnership has enormous potential. Can't wait.

Well they must be idiots if they agree with me that Fletcher and Smith aren't crap. Eagles hasn't played any Prem football for a decent run but in those games and the friendlies before this season he's not been out of his depth. Have only seen the Prem games he played in and he did well. Judging by all reports he's lighted up preseason but can't justify that without firsthand knowledge.Prediction: This debate will go nowhere.

Smith is a good Premiership player, nothing more, nothing less, not really good enough to be at United, like it or not.
Fletcher is underrated and a very good central midfielder, is rubbish out wide though.
Eagles looks like a talent to me.

I agree. Eagles is oozing talent. Anyone see his goals in the Asian Tour? Pure class.
