Good result for Rafa and Chelsea. They have Spurs/Benfica/Everton coming up so no pressure No real chance of second place though considering the Man City fixtures even including City's own cup final.

Baconface - Chelsea deserved to win and it wasn't a foul on Rooney, then spoils it by saying Chelsea's players surrounded the referee all game.:thunbdown:

I think it was a red. It was violent play, the ball was gone.

But the FA should respond to Luiz's play acting. They won't.

But its like the Rivaldo and the ball in the face incident. Just pathetic. These things won't stop until the FA take action when they see blatant play acting.

Its tough for United now, we should have just sent all the first team on an early holiday, put the kids in and see how they develop, but we do have to be fair to the rest of the league.

Look at West Brom? teams like that who have nothing to play for, and United, can really affect the final top 4 and who goes down...

There were united fans slating Baconface on 606 last night, they were even still harping on about his poor team selection at the etihad last season. Oh how last year still hurts

Uniteds season has petered out, even though they've won the league, yesterday's performance and defeat has left a number of them confused. They're so used to winning the league, it doesn't mean as much, especially with 4 games to go, against a very poor villa, it's just not doing it for them, and of course they can't help but remember how we won it, and how they lost it last season.

It still hurts badly

At least we still have a big day out to look forward too.

'even though they've won the league'...

Brilliant! :-)

Personally I'd take winning the league at a canter and no cup than a cup final and second...

They aren't confused at all. They;ve won the league, it just takes the edge of your game.

Big point for Sunderland last night.. losing that would have been serious. If Wigan win tonight that drags everyone back into it..

A huge game... lose and it could be them... even a point will keep the others involved, but a win drags all the bottom 10 back into it.. crazy league this year..

[IainR]

Huge night.. Newcastle dropped into the bottom 3 periodically but Wigan throw it all away.. now an uphill battle..

A huge huge game to go with Villa.. can't see a result at the emirates.. must be the tighest finish ever..

But if arsenal beat them.. (likely.. aresenal hugely need the win) Sunderland and Saints draw.. Norwich draw or beat West Brom (who have nout to play for) and Newcastle draw or beat QPR (who are already relegated).. they are relegated.. quite likely it could all be over by then..
