    Would far rather have Celtic in it. Celtic are a quality side anyway. I think they might go all the way this year if they managed to put a very on-form arsenal out of the UEFA cup....

    Wolves were doing so well today, but infortunately couldnt keep it up. Its 4-2 with very little time to go...

    5-2 was harsh on wolves by the sound of it,if man utd win tommo itl be only 6 and a 9 point gap between the 3 clubs so maybe the leagues not over

    thought celtic were great on thursday(that is very hard thing for me to say)but i have to admit it,
    o'neill would be great at liverpool think he may wait till fergie retires to go for that job

    Yeah, i think he is more likely to be at Man United.

    Dont take this as gospel, but a friend of our families is also friends with John Magnier (in fact he is on a provate jet tomorrow to go to Match - Bastard), but he says that when he was talking to Magnier that he said that there is a good chance that the board may want Alex to retire soon and that there is an ideal replacement sitting in Scotland. Who else could he be talking about??

    The Chelsea result was a bit harsh on Wolves, but i guess thats to be expected. As long as we win tomorrow and beat them in the FA Cup, we can put this season to rest...

    Yeah he looks very promising. An amazing performance in the second half at Barcelona and two top-drawer saves today, one from his own team mate lol.

    United managed a draw at Arsenal (1-1). To be fair both sides had chances. I feel a bit hard done by about the penalty which, im sure you'll agree, we should have had after Ryan Gigss was clipped once going into the box and then brought down inside the box. A poor decision by Graham Poll.

    But in saying that, its one of the most exciting matches i've watched. The first 25 minutes were amazing end to end football. Eat your heart out everyone else, I think United and Arsenal have shown the rest of the league what they are capable and that they are definitely able to play better football than a lot of the other teams in the premiership.

    What a great start to a come-back from Ole Gunner who set up the United goal. RvN hasnt been looking to fresh recently. He missed the chance to score but luckily for us Louis Saha pounced and finished a tap-in.

    yaeh, them two can play a lot better football than most others in the prem(especially liverpool the world champions at passing the ball backwords)

    But your still 3rd 5 points behind the chels we have a good run in with a couple of easy games at '3 point lane' and at 'the thearte of defensive blunders' so i think well be second which is a great improvement on last year so dont understand why hes getting rid of Ranieri

    At least were not getting erickson(wouldnt put it past him still to leave after euros he's that sneaky)

    I bet you are looking forward to Tuesday now lol. It was a very exciting match and great to see United winning, but no doubt the Arsenal fans will be agrieved (we shouldve had a penalty when SIlvestre handled in the box) and other such things lol...

    You sure will, Arsenal are one team not to underestimate. I think that Arsenal will win though, but will get beaten by Real Madrid in the next round.

    United will hopefull hammer Milwall to get one trophy this season and then we will beat Chelsea at home in May as well as chelsea drawing a match before then. We will win all the rest of our matches and end up 2nd ;-)
