you must have heard what tevez and evra said about man u being the stronger team than arsenal, and about waiting and see arsenal's reaction after a first defeat before being able to properly evaluate arsenal's title credentials.

i think man u must be feeling a lot of pressure. they are the defending champions and they feel that they need to say this sort of thing, they need to play a little bit of mind games. and they are saying this only after they beat wigan 4-0, and that's after a few 1-0 victories, some of which were lucky. that 4-0 win must have given them some confidence in themselves to come out and say this.

we never talk about anything else but ourselves, how we haven't won anything yet, how we want to improve game by game, how we are proud that we are doing fine, when everyone had predicted otherwise.

as far as i am concerned, there is nothing to prove to man u. i know that if we go into every game playing to win, playing like how we have been playing, with style, courage and fortitude, and then to really step up the gear when the crunch comes, i think we can get the results we need. i don't need people to tell us if we can be champions. we know we can be. and may i cheekily suggest, what if we don't lose that game?

all the pressure is on man u, because they are in 2nd place, great. but they look up and arsenal are two points ahead with a game in hand. and wait, this is arsenal without thierry henry, shouldn't they be somewhere at the bottom of the table? man u r just so feeling the pressure, feeling the pressure of being defending champions and yet having to play catch-up.

and just a month ago, people were gushing about liverpool, how great they were. now when liverpool drew spurs 2-2 at home, they say: oh, we never really consider liverpool one of the big 4, it's always more like the big 3 right? get real.

it's still early, so i think we should just focus on ourselves. the target is this: 14 wins at home, 4 draws at home, 10 wins away, 8 draws away. total of 84 points. we got 90 points in that unbeaten season, but i think this season, you only need around 80 to win it.

9 home wins, 4 home draws, 8 away wins, 7 away draws to go.
