It's going to be tough for United now - unlike the chasing pack we'll be having to rest and rotate players against an in form Everton, Arsenal and Chelsea all around the Champions League semi final ties.

Yes indeed, my hope is that will be your undoing! :D

Lets hope we can take em apart at the lane, give Fabregas a good send off before he heads for Barca, and encourage those Arsenal fans to want Wenger out.

That's just being mischievious :naughty:

I don't want Wenger out, but it's time for Fabregas to go, along with a long list of others.....

Drogba want's out, he could come to the Emirates for a couple of years, at least he'll get a good supply of the ball (and games!)

Will Torres score again this season ?
Who really picks the Chelsea team ?
Will there be mass departures from Stanford Bridge to the "Special One" ?

Lots to go on between now and next season.....

Could well be but that's just what comes from competing at a highest level on all fronts. We have to do it most seasons :shrug:
 
3-1 down, but a long time to go, anything can happen!! Come on you Spurs!
 
We only need 10 men on the pitch to score against the gooners, thank you Tom Huddlestone...3-2, and it's not half time.....
 
3-3 no good for anyone but chelski and utd i suppose.

this game ends arsenals last chance at the prem and spurs last chance at champions league in my opinion.
 
Arsenal and Chelsea level on points though, that makes it interesting.

And Spurs are only 2 points behind City, so perfectly possible to make that up.......

A game like this boosts both sides IMO, so a confidence booster.

Agreed. It's no good for tottenham and no good for arsenal. Still, delighted not to have lost and if you'd ask me before the game if I'd take a draw I'd have snatched your hand off. All in all a happy result since I lost title hopes weeks ago!
 
Oh, but good to see Arsenal throwing away another 2 goal lead.......
 
its funny with footy often the result is a veryy different story to how the result came about

spurs fans will feel good for coming back from 3-1 down and the gunners could be ****ed to have lost the lead but really scoring 3 goals away from home at the rivals stadium is great for the gunners and embarrassing for the spurs to have conceded three at home - but a comeback is always a comeback

see this is what i meant,

you are happy to have come back from 3-1 down and so you should be - but on the flip side you conceded 3 goals at home to your derby rival, thats embarrassing too right?
 
Yes it is a little embarassing, but not as bad as chucking away a 2 goal lead!

TBH for Spurs fans it is good just not to be beaten by Arsenal again!



I believe the maths says Utd need 10 points from 5 games to secure the title......

Yep - 3 wins, a draw and a defeat would do it. Less if Arsenal or Chelsea drop any points.

Tough games to come though and with Champions League games to play it's still far from over.

yep it is a long shot, chelski need to win all 5 and hope you lose 2 then make sure they have a better goal difference

i wonder what odds you'd get on that
 
The Special One gets another cup, with Ronaldo scoring an extra time winner to give Real the spanish cup.

Last I looked 'United winning the leauge' was '1/10 on' but that's tonight. That's for the betting folk though (and their timing) which I'm not one of. As long as it's more likely than not - I'm happy at this stage :gag:

Whether it's United, Chelsea, Arsenal or ABU's like you (see how I missed out Liverpool :naughty:) - fans look at the fixtures in hope for potential 'banana skins' or 'bankers' and do the maths but in all honesty history flags up so many funny results. It's just a case of wait and see I guess and no doubt this weekend will result in a whole different set of maths. :shrug:

The 'Special One' - seems to be making the headlines a fair bit (what's new) these days. There's obviously something going on at Real and let's face it they're not really a club known for continuity. Once he's scratched that itch to manage Real ....

International Managemant ?

Portugal he's said is for when he's 'old'. England ? - He said it's his spiritual home but I'm not sure.

So English Clubs ?

Chelsea obviously have a connection - United (once Fergie goes) will be a huge ego challenge that he'd relish - Liverpool perhaps (although Kenny is doing great) - Arsenal fans seem divided on Wenger and of course City are are a carbon copy of the Chelsea sugar daddy model which he did at Chelsea.

All those years ago United saw Fergie as the man to break Liverpool's domination as that's what hed done in Scotland (to the Old Firm) with Aberdeen. Things are different now I guess and the job is all about sustaining a winning menality so perhaps he is indeed the man for the job.

That said - Who knows when Fergie will bow down - I'm going to stick my neck out and say United might not be Jose Mourinho's next job but he will be the next United manager.

If not I'd love to see him back in England at some point :thumbs:

Jose has said he has every intention completing his Real contract. It has 3 years left which would make Fergie 72+ years. I think the timing matches up quite well. Obviously Real goes through managers like Katie Price does lovers so it might pan out a bit different.
 
Does he want a job in goal at Spurs?
Might do better than Gomez at times.

Very Cheeky.....I wonder if Big Brother is watching.......lol

Got to be careful how we word it as there could still be a libel case against anyone printing 'actual' names to this story.


I wonder why people can't have affairs in private nowadays.
 
After a late late equalizer from Northampton to secure a point last night. Jubilant home supporters made a mini pitch invasion. It took a minute or so to clear the pitch to enable the game to go on.
But this one chap took longer travelling the whole length of the pitch.

Off to see my dad in Essex today. He doesn't have Sky so it's a rare opportunity for him to watch QPR live on TV as it's on the BBC. Massive game away to Cardiff where a win will secure promotion to the EPL, even a draw would be enough with their far superior goal difference.


COME ON YOU RRRSSSS!!!!
 
Everton are getting hammered here there is no chance they can last without conceding, it's simply a matter of time

I predict 2-0 to utd even though there is only 15 mins left, in fact im going to put a bet on it now
 
there you go, as I said. the first one in, the next ones coming. I put £1 on 1-0 at 3-1 and £4 at 2-0 not sure the odds but the return is £60

Owen to score next I would predict
 
I believe the difference between Man U and Arsenal this season has been Hernandez. Lots of goals and may seem to be late vital ones like this.
 
hmmm, didnt seem to want to try for a second so i guess i just get my money back, have to put it on something this afternoon instead, what does everyone fancy?
 
I was getting a bit nervy as the clock ticked away but we got there in the end.

Chelski currently a goal to the good - A West Ham goal now would be a nice little bonus.
