It's also a nice reminder/warning to you guys, I'm hearing the "treble" talk too often from the ManU ranks these days.

*points to sig.

Damn straight! I have been telling people, just like I did in 99, we are taking it!

I don't want to be a party-spoiler but you would do well to leave some room for dissapointment...like Jose.
 
If United do win the treble it'll be the better treble than the one in '99, IMO.

Saying we will win the treble is to hope that we do win it. It's been a much better season than predicted and we're not giving up hope for it! As Mourinho said, 'we're living in the moment'. We certainly are living the moment. United could lose all three as well but we have hope.

You know...some teams don't even have a chance to cheer in hope for a treble. Ask AlanF :p

Hehe, no way!

Jose is only saying that cos he knows that we are in the driving seat in all three competitions. We can still lose a game in the league and draw to them and win it.

We went through 8-3 on aggregate in the CL

We won 4-1 in the Fa Cup

Chelsea are not what you would call on top form right now.
 
Watching the way we played Watford, I'm very worried about our defense. Rio is slightly injured, vidic out for another few weeks, don't know when Neville is coming back. We have Brown, O'shea, Evra, Heinze. Not a flattering back four but I'll accept anything at the moment seeing how well Rooney-Ronaldo partnership is. If Carrick can define his role a bit more better when Scholes plays then we'll be good.

I agree with that. This Tr3ble will be very well-deserved considering our injuries.

With the two R's playing like they are and even Carrick and Richardson starting to play along as well, I am confident that we can always score more than the opposition, just like in 1999 and the years after that. You score 3, we'll score 4 :)
 
I still make it 9 wins...

3 in CL
1 in Fa Cup
5 in league with the last game against chelski then not counting...
 
Benitez: I rejected Real Madrid approach


Rafael Benitez has confirmed publicly for the first time that he has turned down a massive offer to manage Real Madrid.

And sources close to the Liverpool boss insist that the Spanish giants wanted Benitez before they turned their attention to Jose Mourinho.

As the Anfield chief prepared his side for Wednesday's home Premiership game with Middlesbrough, it has become clear he rejected a huge offer from Madrid which could have virtually doubled his Anfield contract

But he has now said: 'I said no to Real when they offered me more money than I get here, even though there maybe were greater expectations.

'Madrid may be my town, but I am happy here and pleased with everything. We want to stay because of the new ideas and the new owners are very exciting.

'It is so positive for the future. And I could not ignore the noise and support I received from the supporters last week against Eindhoven, it was tremendous and moving. I repeat, I am very happy here.

Looks like Real will have to settle for Jose :o :o

:D :D
 
Mourinho's Chelsea continue to breath heavily down ManU's neck. ;)

They thrashed West Ham 4-1, the gap at the top remains just 3 points.

hehe :)

West Ham were poor. They will be rightly relegated.

3 points are still going to be too many.

The Tr3ble continues to loom large for United.
