I must say that sky sports news and sky news showing the same 2 clips of a guy being arrested before the game and another guy hitting a cameraman over and over and over again made the scuffles before the game seem much worse than they really were - someone in wednesday's telegraph picked up on that too.

Liverpool could still in theory win the title! If they win every game and Man U dont win and Chelsea beat Man U then Liverpool would win the league on goal difference!!! That was according to the Telegraph!

In reality it will be Liverpool for the Champions League down to Rafas brilliant European mind. And Man U (as much as it hurts) for the league.

Behave yourself!!:D

For this to happen Utd would now have to lose every game and Liverpool would have to score 25 goals in 6 games - OMG -outside - yes - its a FLYING PIG!![:w]

Hehe thought it might create a bit of a storm on here [:w].

It wont happen of course but it could happen mathematically at least.

Still undecided who I actually want to win the title- Chelski or the Mancs its a tough one.

And if an asteroid hits Sir Alex on the head, bounces off and kills Ronaldo, maybe we won't win the title?

There's simply no exSCOUSE for this kind of silliness...

GJ


No Ronaldo would not be hit, he is too good at diving. He may try to claim a penalty at the same time though....

Today was a frustrating draw against the blue side of Manchester at the City of Manchester Stadium. A mate of mine in Manchester was happy about the result today, she had every reason to be happy considering how low Man City are in the table.

Roll on Middlesbrough!

Once again Mufc have another Wembley cup final. We are also still top of the league and in the semis of the Euro cup. The ABUs will always be around , finding some shite to slag us off and we will always have to put up with Chelea trying to outbid themselves for anybody who can kick a ball. SAF has always played the game the right way as has the Gunners but who can honestly say Pool and Chelsea are good to watch. May the beatiful game be playedd the way it should be---------

Sheff Utd first!!

And yesterday I paid £55 for a crap seat at Villa Park - row 4 in the lower tier. If I had been any lower it woudl have been a nice view of the grass!! Couple with this, the dickheads at the FA decided to give Watford 400 more tickets than us - which resulted in around 5000 seats being empty.

They are complete planks!! [:(!]

And today for the Chelsea/Blackburn game apparently 8000 tickets remain unsold and neutrals can roll up to Old Trafford and "pay on the gate"!![:0]

Nest year both semi-finals will be at Wembley - so then they have to fill 90,000 seats - sheesh!! [V]

Yet again another London bias from the FA.

Wembley is OK if you live in Larrndan or around it, not any damn good for the rest of the country.

This is the exact mess that has happened this weekend, with games late on and one club's fans having a huge travel and getting home at stupid times. The FA should stand up to SKY.

What nonsense to hold one semi at the Stadium of Theives, with one clubs fans having a 30 mile or so travel, yet the others having a 250 mile journey, leaving the game at say, 19:30 and arriving back if they are lucky with all the road works home at what? 2-4am with a work day the next day. I gather that the last train back to Larrndon leaves about 10 mins after the game finishes!

At least Villa Park is central, the new wembley should have been built near the NEC with good road, rail and air links, not in some dump of an area of Larrndon.

Yep, the huge amounts of empty seats in the Doug Ellis stand yesterday were ridiculous. [V] I was in row 11 of the lower tier, a big difference to row 4 - the view was incredible over the whole pitch, yet still close enough to feel a part of the action especially when united were training right in front of me!

The time issue is a particulary lame excuse from Chelsea fans as reported in the press, arriving back at 4am? what were they planning on doing, jogging back to the home counties?

I went to Old Trafford for a night game last season and left the ground at around 10pm, got home by 1:30am and still managed a full day at work the next day.

Can guarantee you if it had been West Ham in that semi there would have been no empty seats out of our allocation

Our game against Chelsea is anyones guess, we beat Man U at home and the Arse both home & away but then again rolled over when playing teans around us - Watford / Charlton / Sheff Utd

Much as I don't like saying it, I would prefer Utd to win the premiership as they have played far more open football than Chelsea this season - Off to wash my mouth out with soap and water now!

Mourinho is now saying that there are new rules for the Premiership - no referee can ever give a penalty against Manchester United - especially at Old Trafford and that they are not allowed to give penalties for Chelsea!! ( and before all the ABU's get started Ive seen plenty of penalties given to opposing teams at OT - including for Liverpool!)

Hahahahahahaha

Is the pressure telling??

"I'ld love it we beat them, love it!" - there's a familiar feeling here

Maureen is starting the whinging again.....what is it with these London based clubs and whinging managers??!?

The facts at Chelsea are shocking- obseen amounts of money spent on players since Maureen arrived somehting in the region of £250million and STILL he hasnt won the CL......no wonder Roman is getting annoyed.


United to win league and FA Cup
Reds to win Champions League
Maureen to be sacked!

ROOOONEY!!!

Thank you for indulging me.

I'd like to see Utd in the final if only to make it an all English affair.....

Just have a bad feeling about those 2 away goals though

Two english clubs in the final would be fantastic.

Clearly gives weight to the fact that the Premier League is possibly the best league in the world, although it is close run thing with La Liga.

Our late, departed Philly sends brother Gary a get-well-soon card. 2 - 2

Everton revenue generator Wayne Rooney proves our investment (again). 3 - 2

The Eagles has landed. 4 - 2

And what about Lokomotiv Chelski? 2 - 2 to Bolton LOL

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!

Being at the game was just one big rollercoaster of emotions - bit like following Utd through the season.

What a game though, what a come back and what a result - after the first goal Everton just crumbled!!

I had a few beers in Manchester that night!!
