Just to add some extra spice to the title race. Man utd chelsea draw Arsenal win against stoke can anyone see Arsenal still winning it? three teams within 4 points of each other would make some spicy 2-3 games left!

If Manchester United don't win the title, it would have to be one of the biggest chokes in recent history. Not long ago they were 9 points clear.

Now that it looks like City will qualify for the CL I can't see them letting Tevez go or even Tevez wanting to go. He is on big bucks at City. They will be in the CL next year and you can be sure of another £120m spending spree in the closed season.

CL qualification is a huge lure and they can now attract the biggest names in the game.

Champions next season, whilst not a certainty they must be fancied to go close.

Probably explains the rumors that Roman will make £80m available next year.

I guess you have to worry for both United and Arsenal as future champions. United are realistically skint and Fergie won't be there much longer, and a fund of £35m is chicken feed this day so Arsenal may well have to off load Fabregas to top up their fund

Howard Webb Is in charge of united v chelsea game.
Chelsea to definately win now

[RoosterMarty]

Of course Tevez will stay there. All this crap about him wanting to retire or quit football is just him talking crap.

United need to win the title this season because we might not get a chance for a while. I hate how these bloody arabs and russians have come in and just start spending millions upon millions trying to get success, completely ruining football.

He may be but i think terry is his love child, the dirty bastard gets away with murder when he is in charge. My money is on terry kicking the crap out of rooney all day, rooney will retaliate and get red carded

Sorry guys but Man Shitty wont win jack. Always a loser team. As ive said before money helps but doesnt guarantee success. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich is proof of this,they both have huge squads and funds that are the envy of every other side yet they are both going to win stuff all this season. Chelsea have shown how to do it with money, they have brought in players who will fit the team syle and who play for the club. City will just spend money willy nilly and end up with a bunch of mercenaries who dont give a crap about the club

[Bully]

i hope they dont either but IMO i think if they win then FA cup the monkey will be off their backs.

I dont see Man Utd or Arsenal winning much for a few years now also seen as the arabs and russians provide the dinner on the plate now for Man City and Chelsea.

I reckon we will be like you guys are now for the next few years - fighting for scraps and finishing 3rd. Chelsea should dominate for years but cant see city out doing us

even more so when the goal they scored from memory in 1976 relegated your Man Utd team ?

Can this be confirmed ?

[johntheclaret]

Dennis Law ex United great scored it for City

[Jim05]

Correct.
But look at the results since!!!!
City have gone up and down the divs like yo-yo's winning stuff all and generally being embarassing. Not to mention in the same period that fergies been at united, city have had 16 managers.
Meanwhile the good guys have been racking up silverware galore.
Always scum and forever our little neighbour and living in our shadows

Chelsea have shown how to do it with money, not sure I agree with you Jimbo, Torres, Shevchenko, Roman has been spending big for some time and you mob just keep on winning more than they do, I certainly hope that Chelski and Man Saudity do not dominate for the sake of English football(?) they have brought in players who will fit the team syle and who play for the club. City will just spend money willy nilly and end up with a bunch of mercenaries who dont give a crap about the club

[Bully]

like i said a few months ago. If Man Utd win EPL and champ league this season maybe its time for Fergie to move on. When hes on a high seen as the rumours are spreading that Man City and Chelski will win everything for years to come due to help from billionaires(easy way) and not doing it the correct way building a solid team with limited money.

Im sure if in a few years time if Man Utd are struggling then the heat would be on Fergie to move on if he is still there and the glory days would be forgotten. Best he goes now while hes still on top.

Not true.
Our squad doesnt go as deep as it used to and the CL is having a severe impact on our late season. We have had to rest key players from the league to fight for CL final spot. Chelsea has had nothing else to worry about for a month. Once we get through to final ill think youll see fergie playing our full strength side in reamaining league fixtures

[Jim05]

Man City have offered up Tevez for 50 mill. Dont think anyone would offer him that much.

[johntheclaret]

I assume you aren't referring to Arsenal when you talk about building a team with little money Bully?

[Bully]

JTC - compaired to others i.e. Man City, Chelsea, and Man Utd......Yes i mean Arsenal. When in recent years has Arsenal spent more then 50 million on players for a transfer window? even 30 million? Please let me know as i would love to hear when this happened??

Not for quite a while mate...not ever have they spent like others...
