Indeed. Nice to see Tottenham have their confidence ripped apart ahead of their game with the rags who themselves only managed to sneak out a terrible win in the last minute

A win at Norwich..I think any team would take any sort of win there.. You could say Spurs will be looking for a big reaction, it normally happens. After we lost to you what happened? Arsenal against us what happened?
the loss of Parker is good.
But United have been superbly managed by Fergie this year. With a depleted team we have an amazing tally of points. Only Fergie would have a team in the reckoning at this point this year. He's been superb to keep us in the race. Big few weeks now.

You United fans must be very worried. You're scraping win after win and yet still behind us. £67million spent on top of the team that won the league last year and you're still trailing.
The premier league should thank Sheikh Mansour. If it wasn't for us it would be effectively over already. :w00t:

Of course we are worried. City have been class. They have spent £100's of millions on quality players at their peak. Look at your points total, its a record amount, yet United, and they are supposedly in a terminal decline, have all but matched you, to be honest I just think its worthy of acknowledgement.
We have spent £67million, so you say, but on young players, a lot of potential. The fact that we have scraped win after win is something to be acknowledge not mocked. Its testament to Fergie that we are in this game.
From last year we have lost VDS, Vidic but you are a vastly better team than last year, so you are more of a threat.
Despite your posturing in the FA cup game you have to admit Scholes has been superb since coming back and has justified his return. No?
he looks a better signing than Hargreaves anyway?

There is some truth in what you say Iain. Those 3 points were vital for you today, but you utd fans must now fear every away fixture based on that performance.

Unlike me, as an Arsenal fan with our form I usually fear EVERY fixture, but still can't really explain today's game!!

Don't we have the best away record in the league?

Did you see the reaction of the United players when Giggs scored the Fergie time winner, it was more than yes we did it again, there was pure relief on their faces because they know one more slip and it's as good as over. :p
Re: Tonight's football thread
Thought that was a good game - refreshing after some of the dreary England matches I've seen.
Lots of positives.
Negative for me was our left side of defence. Cole in for Baines might help - I don't think Baines is good enough.
