This is valeo's comment from the ManU thread, thought I'd use it to start some discussion on the ManU match;

"Doesn't matter how well we are playing and how bad Man Utd are playing - I always think we'll lose at Old Trafford.

The fact we're coming off a huge high v Spuds and exerted ourselves to the extreme (and only have a 3 day break) means this will be closer than people think."

I totally agree with that. Despite them not looking great right now I'm always fearful of ManU, chiefly because we've had some poor results against them in recent seasons, at times when we were expected to win. The loss at OT in 2016 right after we beat Leicester City, when we should've been pushing on for the title, the loss to Moyes' ManU side when van Persie scored - ManU were woeful at that time, we really dropped the ball that day. And last season at the Emirates was pretty chastening, as we dominated the match but were terrible defensively, letting them go wild on the counter. 

Mourinho hates us, even if Wenger has gone, so he'll be trying to rark them up, and you know they will have that bus parked up good. 

This will either be a great week, or our spurs bubble will be popped horribly.
