Re: Man Utd (a)
We can only control our games, but we can put pressure on the rest. Without being flippant, I think everyone thought we'd gone long ago. From a media perspective it's been a shoot out between Luton, Forest and Everton. However, one club has pulled clear and we've closed the gap. Suddenly we're back ...
