Then Viduka gets given offside despite being on.

Apparently it's only United who are favoured by the ref decisions.

Black Cats inch a little closer to safety!

Agree DW. It looks like any 3 from 4 now, with WBA winning yesterday 3 teams on 31 points and Hull on 34. All 3 on 31 points have a better goal difference then Hull so any win at toon on monday will see hull drop into the bottom 3 for the 1st time this season.

In fact, I think it will come down to that game on Monday. the winners could well be the team to stay up. A draw could well see WBA pulling off another great escape. They did it a few seasons back with Robson in charge and they could do it again.

As for Hull City, I really think they are doomed. I said it at the star of the year, and I'll say it agin today.

I am going to get on the WBA bandwagon for the last couple of games. Would be a remarkable comeback if they stay up.

All year Ive been watching Hull's position closely as when they were sitting 3rd or 4th, I remember you saying they would still get relegated ... I for one thought they'd reached close enough to a safety zone, but I dips me lids to ya Johnny, you're looking very likely to be on the money.

His way of trying to deflect what everyone already knows. Too late you French faggot. We know what you real gameplan is. You fail to see how important the EPL is to European football.

I thought the same as CP. When Hull were 3rd and we were bottom I was strugglig to see how Hull could go down.

What a rot for them this year.

[Bully]

probably a good thing i missed arsenals game against chelskithis morning after i heard what the final score was. looks like the wheels have fallen off for us gunners for the rest fo the season. Man united to come and then stoke at home....lets hope we can get something from those games.

[BALLHOG]

Good win by Man U 2 nil over city probably could of had another couple of goals Tevez was awesome. Would be a massive loss if they can't work out a deal to keep him at Old Trafford. Ronaldo needs to pull his head in and understand football is a team game and not an individual one. Did anyone see him spit the dummy when he got taken off just after the second half started? Did not look good looking on as a United supporter to see a selfish prick like that carrying on like a baby. Sir Alex needs to give him a kick up the arse.

[RoosterMarty]

Yeah that wasn't great to see from Ronaldo but Robinho was just as bad with his sook about coming off with an 'injury'. Not worth the 32 odd mill when he can only play in front of his own supporters. We need to keep Tevez, absolute gun and could have had a hatty. Superb assist by Berbatov though.

Arsenal got smashed by Chelsea 1-4 at Emirates. Embarrassing result for them really.

Also, Ledley King got arrested too...

[Bully]

yeah ronaldo did have a dummy spit but goes to show that he wants to be there every minute of their matches, same with rooney even the commentators said he was eye balling fergie whilst warming up.

[Dogwatcher]

Bulldog, does he want to be there for the team though or is that about him? I know which one I think it is.

Watched the game last night - United looked like a machine in that first half. Unstoppable.

Tevez - brilliant.

A bit more on Ronaldo's dummy spit. Did anyone notice the glare sent by Fergie into the stands in Ronaldo's direction when he left the touchline after the sub? I don't think I'd like to be on the end of it.

dunno mate dont know enough about ronaldo on what hes like. great player maybe he thinks its all him not sure.

On tevez i think fergie would be stupid to let him go , he is great.

[devilsadvocate]

Interesting Tevez stat. He's scored 3 league goals in 1667 minutes of football this season.

Now I rate Tevez really highly, but for 30m, he'd want to score a heck of a lot more goals than that playing up front. Maybe the old red nosed twat is right in not bidding for him.

And on Ledley King, apparently it was racially motivated. There's no hiding the fact that Ledders potentially has an alcohol issue, but go on a racist rant against any sober person of whatever race and see what happens. I still love the King.

With Tevez I think it's hard because every time he is out on the pitch he has pressure on him to perform.I think if they could sort something out he would be more relaxed and play to the best of his ability.
Would start him on every week ahead of Berbatov.
