Arsenal need a draw next week. If Utd beat us they'll win the league imo.

 

[Corran]

We had no papa Didier so you should be fine tbh.

TBH you scored more goals without drogba then when he playing.. check out the stats

 

[megadave]

Our team play does seem better without him sometimes. although we definately struggle without him over a season, previos two years show that.

He only scored 8 goals last season in the league!

 

[Corran]

Bolton are looking the most dangerous at the moment. Doesnt bode well, need to get a grip of the midfield as they breaking from there too easily

He never got a proper run of games together though.

Bolton do look dangerous but Utd look more likely to score imo.

From Mark, Northampton, via text to 81111: "In the absence of Rooney I think we'll see a hat-trick from that 'own goals' chap today. He's gone missing in recent weeks."


hmmm

 

[Bahumat]

lol 11th own goal this season!

Man Utd 1 Bolton 0

 

[Corran]

Rooney out the team, and Mr Own Goals returns to form \o/

 

[megadave]

That's such a terrible own goal too, what a let off.

Fucking great save from VDS.

 

[Corran]

agree on both points

 

[Bahumat]

lol VDS almost had egg on his face!

 

[megadave]

fergie should get a touch line ban

 

[Corran]

lol at this twit of a ref.

Apparently as a defender you arent allowed to stand there when the ball is in the air after the opposition has tried to barge you over. Never known that to be a freekick to the player trying to knock over the defender.

 

[megadave]

Dont you remember Gerrard vs Athletico?

Was some wall shenanigans going on anyway so it didnt matter.

 

[Vladamir]

1847: Breaking news: Gianfranco Zola has said he will consider his future as West Ham manager following the 1-0 home loss to Stoke.

Does that mean we can have Clarkey back?

 

[Gray]

Looks like zola is set to resign shortly

 

[Corran]

Looks like zola is set to resign shortly

he gonnz sleep on it.. hope he dont

 

[megadave]

We should give him a coaching job until another club wants him as manager


this games boring as

 

[Corran]

Dont know which way this game is going.. we rarely drop points when taken the lead this season... but Bolton are coming on strong and always have the chance of grabbing something at 1-0.. espeically with their recent home record

 

[Bahumat]

We're playing wide which is fine, but we need to switch play and stretch them. At the moment we fly up the wings and cross against their huge defenders. If we can stretch play, we can open up space through the middle.

I think Giggs or Scholes will go off for Park as he's able to both defend and attack, plus he's quite fast.

 

[Corran]

Bah, no Rooney in this game and no Messi in the Barcelona game. Dont think i bother watching that one now

 

[Corran]

yeahy Berbatov scores.. even if it was just a tap in. (poor keeping on initial shot)

And Barcelona are lucky not to be 1-0 down in 2minutes.

edit:
The man behind all of man utds tropheys in the last 3 years is now on (Carrick)
Guess we going to finish 9-0 up as he will change the game now

 

[Bahumat]

Brilliant play by Nani and cool finishing by Berbatov

 

[Bahumat]

Nice vision by Nani and great finish by Mini-Scholes

 

[Corran]

The second goal killed the game tbh. We dominated posession as was (about 65% posession this half) but Bolton always posessed a threat. Since that 2nd goal though they looked demorilised totally.

Nani again proofing he was worth that new 4yr contract that Ferguson made sure he got, he even doing a much better job defensively now also. Guess he spent time with Park. lol.
Nice little bit of skill, but it was just too easy.

edit:
Nice play by Berbatov tbh, he played a lovely weighted ball to Nani. Nice cutback and Gibson just loves to hit shots first time. That was a lovely sidefooted finish

Spoke too soon?

 

[Shagrat]

back to a two horse title race again?

can anyone see Arsenal pulling themselves back into the running?

 

[Bahumat]

I think they can, however good/bad they may have been playing, they are only 3 points behind Chelsea. Either Man Utd or Chelsea are gonna drop points when we meet so they could sneak a 2nd or even 1st place finish.

I must say I don't know who Arsenal have left to play.

Lol. Must have (not that Carrick really done anything in the goals)

Depends on next weeks result.
Chelsea vs United draw leaves Arsenal with a good chance still. A win to either side and it be very tough

Wolverhampton
Tottenham
Wigan
Man City,
Blackburn
Fulham,

2 possible tough games in spurs and man city.. beyond that they should get max points.
