The title race is all over and has been for months

We still have chelsea and arsenal to play aswell as europe matches. Europe is our number one goal so id expect guys to be rested from the league.

The League should be our main goal, no way should we rest players from League games when we have the chance of passing Liverpool this season.

Sorry but europe is the big one. Every league game before europe midweek we have rested players. If fergies goal was the league we would have played full strength all season and stitched up the league weeks ago. I think we rested 5 recently against fulham because we had chelsea mid week in CL

I think you're right RM .. You have been the best club in England for the last 20 years, but taking the mantle of most titles makes it official I guess and is a huge historical achievement - I would be thinking the same way as you (if if push came to shove and prioritising was needed).

The owners probably wouldn't feel the same way though.

Spurs fans celebrate like they've just won the CL. FFS a draw is a terrible result for both teams.

Chelsea go 2nd after win over Brum

yeah definatly all over for us now. Yet again had a chance for some pressure on the team above us but failed yet again to do that. Was a clear penalty for spurs in the second half but what a first half it was looked like it would finish 10-10 the was it was going.

Hopefully we can cause some panic for the team above us when they play at the emirates in a week and a half but thats all we have to look forward to now.

Said a months ago to watch out for the chavs and here they come. They are the form side at moment and any more slip ups by united will see them on our tails.
Great result for us this morning, now need 9 pts to win league. We need full points against everton saturday because i reckon we will drop points to arsenal and chelski

They have always celebrated draws against Arsenal, it's a bit embarrassing really.

Another easy win for Chelsea, they could quite easily win this title especially after United's poor result against Newcastle.

Jim we might only need draws against Arsenal and Chelsea. We have a good record against the Gunners in recent years and the two wins over Chelsea should give the lads confidence as they have been a bogey team lately.

tell me about it. The last time we got anything off your mob was a draw at old trafford the last time you guys won the EPL was 0-0. All games after that you have given us a lesson. :(

No thread for this but Ronaldo just scored for Real in the Cup Final!

Hopefully they can go on and beat Barcelona now.

i think because in recent times they havent travelled well against us. They went 10 years with nothing against us. Yes they had a memorable win at the emirates this season but thats really it. There have been draws here and there but they normally havent played well against us. Anything on us they tend to celebrate christmas so...

Today was not the day for celebrations for them really, they needed to win, they had plenty of time to get a winner. Great game but both teams should be disappointed with a point.

Madrid won 1-0.
First silverware in 3 years for the overpaid muppets
Barca are pasting them in the league and i hope they destroy them in the CL. Most overpaid, underachieving team in world sport. Hope they get stuff all

Great viewing in the derby this morning. Arsenal looked like they were going to win 5-1 at one stage and then by the final whistle you would have thought the yids would disappointed not to take the 3 pts. Draw a fair result in the end. Spurs would have won easily had almunia been in goal.

Not sure how bale won player of the year..?? Was very poor today and from what I have seen has done nothing since x-mas.

i dont like any spurs player winning anything but IMO i believe bale does deserve it, yes hes been out of form of late but has done alot to lift spurs out of the average EPL finishes of 10th,12th,15th year in year out to competing for a champions league spot.

Congrats to him
