Referee assisted again. How the fk did Vidic not get sent off. Cole gave him a towelling all afternoon and tell me that tackle in the 2nd half want due his 2nd yellow. Down to 10 and 2-0 down might have meant a different result.

And why the Fk can't referees tell the difference between handball and ball to hand. Uniteds penalty when Upson was penalised for handball was pathetic.

How many chances did Stoke need to win. Drogba looking more like his old self scoring 1 and hitting the woodwork twice but Stoke had so many chances to win this, Pulis must be the more disappointed manager.

Draw probably spells the end of Chelsea's faint hopes. Arsenal are too soft and Fergie has probably masterminded another title. You have to hand it to them, united have that never say die attitude that Arsenal lack

again we are falling down at the end of the season. last win was at home against stoke and that was just falling over the line.
We had our destiny in our own hands before the end of last nights game as if we had have won all of our remaining games we would have been champions wether or not man utd won last night. Its not in our own hands now and u can never rely on other teams doing u a favour or not.

title is well beyond us now. If Man Utd dont win the EPL from here...alot will be said about fergie

Swings and roundabouts hey!!!!
The second West Ham penalty was outside the box but was a close call, also early in second half there was a clear handball in uniteds box that went un noticed. Think the ref did an ok job, not sure about vidic's yellow they can go either way, i dont think ba would have got to ball but it was dumb by vidic.
On overall stats united towelled West Ham, apart from the two penalties they were poor and i think 18-0 corners tells the story.

I get that. And what i am saying is that regardless of what happens in the run in I think Fergie has done an outstanding job this season. This is one of Uniteds weakest squads in years and should be lucky to be challenging for the title. The fact they are leading I think says a lot about his managerial qualities and the belief he instills in his teams.

Fergies overall record is the envy of any manager currently in the prem and even if utd falter late season I think he has enough credits in the bank to escape any harsh criticisms.

Spot on Swooper.

Not just a lack of strength in midfield either. He has had key defenders absent for most of the season. He is a footballing genius and uses every weapon at his disposal including the press.

JTC, can't help but agree, they contend in everything, every year and are certainly the envy of all of us, some just won't admit it. I did mention some time ago that they were top, with their strikers doing nothing. If Rooney is back, then all over.

I hink Rooney has just received a 2 match ban for his foul languaged outbust into the sky cameras.
To be fair to him it was no more than you see every week. I think the fact you could here what he was saying and it was directly into the camera that made the difference
