as much as i enjoy seeing man united loose, and seeing them loose again against fulham, i doubt they will let the title slip outa there hands. but if they loose the next game then i will think diff

If the bin dippers can get 3 points against the Villa, the pressure is really on Utd, who will have Rooneh and Scholes out for their next game. Still, they're 4 points clear level on games at this stage, so still in the box seat (Until Spurs go and take 3 points at OT!!!).

bin dippers?? LMAO

Not only will those two be missing pretty sure Vidic is out for one more match aswell so isn't going to be a walk in the park. The only good thing is that Villa are in some poor form at the moment aswell.

[Tooting Bec]

Fingers crossed Man U lose this week to Villa and it makes it for a really interesting title race!

[RoosterMarty]

Pretty sure it's the week after due to an International break this week.

Also Liverpool can go back on top as they meet the might of Fulham at the Cottage on Saturday (week) while United have the Villans on Sunday.

Surely Liverpool are red hot favourites to win the league now...............

LOL I was just being a smartass mate, I think it's probably too tough for the Gunners to finish any higher than 4th now.

Yeah i know. I saw the in there.

The gunners seem to be getting it right now. Maybe they could be an outside chance to win the Champions League.

I would still think Bayern or Chelsea / Liverpool will win it.

[RoosterMarty]

Bayern won't win it. I can't see them getting past Barca.

[JK]

I don't reckon Bayern will win it either, but obviously they can't be ruled out ... The draw has opened up beautifully for Man U and they would have to be favourites at the moment.

On the EPL front, I heard that Rooney won't miss any games despite copping a 2-Yellow Red on the weekend? (btw I didn't see the game, so Im not suggesting it's a bad over-turn or anything)

[RoosterMarty]

He will miss one match but it won't be extended as he didn't swear at the ref.

i think it was a bit harsh to send him off. uniteds free kick think it was in the 70th minute or something, he threw the ball back to the other end of the pitch, so as united his team mates could play a quick free kick, but thhe ref saw it as wasting time for some reason and he already had a yellow card, was given the second and sent of. But as he was walking to the change rooms he punched the corner flag in disgust and that spurred the fulham fans off even more so.

[smithy]

It didn't help that he threw the ball back at 150 MPH in anger cause the ref wouldn't allow them to take the free quicker.

It was harsh but he could've done it better.

yeah but thats what we have come to expect from him, tends to blow his top. And like Cashley Cole tends to blow up at the ref when he gets the wrong decision. More so then other players. Also heard that whilst they were at the World Club challenge this year he was seen eating Maccas one night? surely he would have to be on a strict diet to be playing in the premier league? Surely these players over there dont get away with eating fast food and rubbish

[RoosterMarty]

Oh noes he ate maccas one night what a disgraceful human being. Maybe he should get sacked for that terrible indiscretion?

Hey guess what... some players even DRINK ALCOHOL during the season! AFL players even do that from time to time and look how fit they are. You are trying desperately hard to rubbish United and Rooney Mr Bulldog, you could almost get a job working for Women's Weekly.

Big deal he had Maccas in a country like that it would probably be safer to eat Maccas than anything else.

well derrrrrr. how could you have picked that i am trying to rubbish man united . i love them heaps mate, they are the best. love it when the likes off ronaldo gets the shits when the ball is not passed to him, love it when fergie spits chips at refs etc when the team doesnt win. Love it when they are on top of the league and buying the championship. And dont say they dont, hint hint DA bought a post up on how much they spent when fergie said that liverpools manager is a cheque book manager or whatever it was.

yeah i realllyyy love Man United, especially Rooney mate. How dare anyone question that i dont like man united. They are great !!

i think i have made my point. And i have said time and time again, dont like them and never will. Yes i know that know one cares what i think,but we all have our points and beliefs. Yes i know you dont like Arsenal. Not many people do...

[RoosterMarty]

What the hell? That didn't make a lot of sense mate...

I don't hate Arsenal, I don't love them but they are one of the "so so" teams but Man Utd are like that with a lot of teams. Clubs love to beat United more than most of the other clubs but United don't feel the same way back.

Anyway the point I made in the previous post was that you made some remark about how there is a rumour that Rooney ate maccas in Japan like it was some big thing. You then went on some rant about nothing!

Also, United hardly spend the most out of EPL clubs.. they just prefer to spend their cash on quality. I'd rather that than Arsene Wenger refusing to part with a few pounds (Arshavin aside) because he would rather buy some kids who can pass the ball around nicely and dominate the Mickey Mouse Cup. I mean getting rid of someone like Flamini who was the perfect foil for blokes like Cesc and now Arshavin... and then replacing him with..... who exactly?

If Arsenal want to win trophies maybe they need to spend a bit of coin, otherwise this barren run will continue. Arsene is just too stubborn because if they ever did win the league with a bunch of kids he could say "told you so" in the French equivalent.
