Don't support those southern ponces! I'd support you against Arsenal, Chelski and Liverpool, for different reasons to style of football though.

 

[Samad]

Aye. Away to Blackburn.

Thanks. Yes I think we will beat Balckburn today.

2-2, the better result for united because we didn't play well and aaway at the emirates a points always good. I don't think whatever the result was it had much effect on where the titles goes but a draws good. Shame we had to throw it away but we always were going too. So out of their first 2 tough games the gooners get 2 points not bad but not exactly told the rest of the league their going to be champions this year. When you consider 3 out of their 11 won't be around for 2 months you can see why united are rightly favourites.

Adebayor's staying and Eboue isn't that big a loss. Toure, we'll miss dearly though

 

[BigCrickNan]

Oh no we're gonna lose Momo to the african nations...think that's all though.

 

[Will_NA]

Doesn't Gerrard play for Nigeria?

 

[BigCrickNan]

Oh ye sorry.

 

[evertonfan]

Jamie Carrabayor plays for Cameroon too.

 

[Will_NA]

Luckily for Arsenal, we have nothing but Englishmen

Even if we are 3-1 down, Kami's outbursts have been brilliant.

EDIT: Bugger. 4-1 now

EDIT II: How the bloody hell did Everton win that 3-1?!

 

[King Pietersen]

Cause we're awesome.

Carsley ftw.

 

[evertonfan]

Gah, we make such meals out of our victories that you could save an entire starving country.

The Newcastle game will be 2nd on MOTD. We lost so it's bound to be up there. Bloody bias BBC.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Oh lol bloody Togo, oh well it's still an advantage for united and Liverpool and could prove crucial given how close the title race will be.

 

[CortezTheKiller]

Aye. Away to Blackburn.

And why did Martin Tyler just say that Arsenal have just set a new club record by going 25 league games unbeaten? What about the 49?!

I think this record is 25 games in all competitions unbeaten; during the 49 game run (ended by a blatant Rooney dive for a penalty if I remember rightly we actually lost in other comps, notably to the Chavs in the CL QF.

Anyway, worrying signs of our old inability to break better teams down today. Thought Fergie out-thought Sir Arsene today, United were quite content to give us loads of possession in the middle of the park, but closed down our space in the final third. Think we got out of jail slightly, but it was refreshing Ferguson didn't have a whinge about Gallas's EQ not being a goal. He must be mellowing in his old age!

It was ended by a roaring Old Trafford, with Sol Campbell bringing down Rooney and RVN scoring the pen, we scored a 2nd that day as well! What a day that was!

Sir Fergie btw. Yeah, well tbh, he couldn't really have said that wasn't a goal. Anyway, yeah both managers were quite polite after the match really. Wenger had another "didn't see it" moment, but was complimentary about United.
