Is it possible to read anything out of this?

I think it tell us all about the importance of beating our rivals when we are up against them, the mancs have done this while the other teams have got only draws.

I think we have been the better team in most of our matches against our main rivals this season and if we will be able to turn a few of our draws into wins, we probably will be up there to the dying seconds of the season come May 2009.

With a bit more luck it could have happened this season, but with better players coming in during the summer hopefully we will be able to create our own luck next season.
