Arsenal way too good we didnt deserve a point. If Arsenal showed the same spirit as they do against us against everyone they wouldnt be playing for 3rd every season.
Not all doom and gloom. Our away form has been shit all season so i didnt expect much from this game. Now the pressure is on chelsea they have to come to fortress OT knowing anything less than a win and we could be champions.

Just saw the Owen penalty claim for the first time, and yep, thats a CLEAR penalty ... No disrespect intended to your team Jimbo, but eat shit Owen you Judas!!

[Jim05]

We didnt look switched on from start, think fergie just played for a draw knowing weve git bigger fish to fry on wednesday. Looks like it backfired but i reckon if we can get job done wednesday you will see a very differant united at home on sunday

Thats ok.
When owen come back from madrid didnt you guys knock him back? Ive always thought he wanted to return but went to newcastle because you didnt want him

[Bully]

same with vidics clear handball to prevent RVP scoring. Clear penalty also??

finally we have beaten 'that football club'. Its been to long.

Yep, and rightfully so after what he did to us pre-Real .. Cost us plenty, and broke a heap of hearts.

In all honesty, my respect for Man U has never been higher than what they've achieved this season without the biggest $ players, but I can't have any respect for Owen.

Yep sure was, mentioned it several times earlier.
No complaints today,we were well and truly outplayed

It's a fix.
United had to lose to keep it interesting. Can't have the title sewn up a month before the end as there's too much TV revenue at stake

So should i get my money on chelsea to win with a 90th minute penalty to torres

[Bully]

not sure on a fix there JTC... we played better then them and won this time. Even a mate of mine thats a Man Utd fan said we deserved to win as they didnt show up . but yes it keeps it interesting

[RoosterMarty]

Both teams denied clear penalties, some very ordinary refereeing in two of the big games from the weekend. We were pretty flat last night, each of the 4 teams involved in the UCL lost their League matches, even Real and Barca.

Arsenal were the better side though and congratulations on effectively sealing 3rd spot.

[Bully]

how many times did the ref in last nights game get in the way. Surely he knows how to jump over the ball instead of just standing there.

It was tongue in cheek mate.

Having said that, Chelsea win in Sat with a goal even though the ball didn't cross the line and a goal that was so clearly offside. And United lose on Sunday. Had the results been the other way round United would be champions this morning. And how interesting would the run in be from now???

You could be on to something there Jim

Would make great TV viewing and imagine the cost of advertising on skysports

Yep and everyone would be saying 'United always get the big decisions go in their favour'...

will be great viewing but im sure its not for the TV rights or viewing and if it was then some people involved would not want to show their faces in public if it all comes out in the wash.

All I can say on this is that most of the EPL clubs would be totally **** if it wasn't for the Sky money. You tell me that doesn't give them some influence over the game, bearing in mind that Sky are only in it to make money ???

Abramovich has promised another 80 mill to spend in off season. He wants to make bids for fabregas and bale. Cant see the arse letting him go to another EPL side.

Wouldn't have thought 80 mil would be enough for the pair of them these days

Have heard barca offered 35 for fabregas but arsenal laughed and want 50 for him. I would think 50 for him and 30-35 for bale is about right.
Man Shitty is the other club sniffing around especially if rumours of inter offering 45 for tevez is correct.
Apart from a new keeper i cant see us splashing too much, probably ashley young and 1 other
