Well DDG was definitely better than Cech and Hart this season.

Performance was as expected. Arsenal had the better of the 1st half as they have a lot more to play for but they didnt really create much despite their first half domination as they were pretty toothless in the final third. We still had the better chances despite being sluggish and 2nd best. 2nd half we were much better and controlled most of the it but again didnt do much with our opportunities. All in all a point was fair. Good to see Nani start, wasnt a good game for him but he wasnt bad, the game just didnt really go his way. A lot of the balls out to him were pretty poor. Still hope he stays and he gets a good run of form and fitness.

StarBoard: If Walcott had timed his run properly he still woulda scored.
Evra's positioning has always been questionable.
I'm not sure of his value to the side anymore.

There's no way of knowing that for sure as if it was that easy Walcott would have easily done it again. I think you're being overly harsh about Evra. He has been petty solid this season. Eventually we need a replacement but he has still been one of our solid and consistent performers this season.

dademola: even taiye taiwo wldnt be positioned like dt

While true, Walcott was offside.

Im celebrating till the end of the season. I'll start thinking of next season when we sign some players and get rid ( retire) some.


CHAMPIONES! CHAMPIONES! OLE! OLE! OLE!

This 20th title shall be known as " The Van Persie" Title.




[size=4pt]Thanks again Arsene![/size]

I'm willing to be bet we'll either lose or draw tonight. I just know we'll find a way to make things hard for ourselves and allow the title to go to the final match of the season.

Ask yourself how many goals Suarez has against teams in the top half of the league? When nearly half his goals came against 2 teams goes to show his stats are inflated. He's a good player but I'd definitely have mata,bale,rvp ahead of him. Plus Suarez is an absolute psycho so I wouldn't want him anywhere near my team.

Again, I'm not sure how anyone can watch DDG since Christmas and even last night and think he's a problem for the team. He's shown so much growth and improvement I don't even worry anymore. We have lots of pressing issues within the team and I think the GK position shouldn't even be discussed as an issue. He's improved his aerial skills so much. The Newcastle away game was the last time he dealt poorly with aerial balls and he still made some excellent saves and kept a clean sheet.

Fergie certainly doesn't like doing things the easy way.

It was always going to be a tough game but for me the tempo and battle gets lost by our midfield too easily. Jones didn't seem to know what he was doing, Valencia gets afforded too much time in the starting 11 with numerous poor uninspired performances that is never afford to Nani and Rooney and RVP have gone off the boil. If the midfield isn't addressed the summer we shouldn't even bother next season. Overall it was still an important point, we just need to ensure we beat villa. That is an absolute must, no excuses will be acceptable.

ginky: Pls, I use a Google nexus 4. I had it since last Yr December. The problem is that some games don't work on it even after I downloaded them from play store. Some of these games are temple run, fruit ninja, the sim, subway surf, etc

Pls, what is the problem? My course mate uses the same phone and I noticed that her fruit ninja works well. For mine, a picture would just appear and afterwards , the phone hangs. My system update is on point. Its 4.2.2.

Strange , I use the same phone and I also don't have any of those issues. Have you tried a factory reset? Are you running a custom rom or stock, rooted or not?

Queiroz's problem is that he isn't a good manager and he cannot handle man management. He was always falling out with players. Fell out with Roy Keane and van nistelrooy and others. But he was a very good coach and a great folly for Fergie. He was tactically very sound and was always able to challenge Fergie's decisions.

Just reading that we're looking seriously into Nemanja Matic and James McCarthy this summer.

Important 3 points today. Just need 7 more.Interesting lineup played today. Not paticularly happy with Rooney in the middle but he performed ok today. Still lacking quality in our final ball which is very annoying. West Ham next. Always a tough match at their ground before playing Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday. Just need to keep the perfomances steady and we should wrap up the title. Strange that we had these 3 consecutive away matches though. Britannia, Upton and Emirates.

Guys, we all know he's a troll so please stop quoting and responding to him.

Well hopefully before Baba makes a mess of things he realises what huge mistakes he's making with the team. At the highest level, this team simply isnt good enough.

Not that Im trying to make him a scapegoat but Giggs should be nowhere near the first 11. Our "wingers" are a joke. Welbeck the striker than cant score and Baba just making baffling and questionable team selections. We might still win the title but it wont be a sweet title win. And a very tiny part of me wouldnt mind us choking and throwing it away.

Maybe then Baba would realise we have huge gaps in the team that need filling. I still maintain we need 2 midfielders and in reality we could and should clear out Anderson,Giggs,Scholes,Valencia, possibly Nani ( since SAF no longer trusts him).

Need 2 Top midfielders and possibly another winger (apart from Zaha) to replace Nani/Valencia.

Dont know what to really. City have dominated the ball but we've looked good on the counter which is to be expected really considering the team we put out. Unfortunately our final ball has been very poor with the few chances we're had on the counter.

Bring on the 2nd half.

wow, wanted vidic or evans in there. this doesnt look good at all

Annnnyway..

Bring on the derby.

Been busy for a bit since the Cup defeat to Chelsea so havent had a chance to respond. I was very disappointed by that defeat as I really wanted the FA Cup as well this year. Its been so long since we've won the FA Cup. I really hope SAF will finally address the midfield this summer. The squad is desperately crying for a spark from the midfield which we're lacking severely. I still think we need atleast 2 solid midfielders this summer. I dont know who exactly but hopefully the club scouts are doing what they're paid to do.

Carrick is awesome and has been so good this season but that's part of the problem any combination of our strongest midfield has to have him in it mostly as the defensive anchor and the deep lying playmaker. He's 31/32 now and we cannot continue to rely on him so much. Our wingers have also been woefully out of form for a while now which is a shame but Ive always been of the mid that if your midfield is strong enough it will cover deficiencies in attack and defence.

Hopefully RVP comes off this rut soon as this is getting silly now. On to the next one!

montelik: It is clear now why we were after Hazard and Moura last summer. Our best wingers this season have been Rafael, Evra and Buttner. It is a really sad situation.

Truth.com, Valencia is scaring me.

Very good 3 points. We certainly made hard work of it but it was always going to be tough against Sunderland away who are fighting for their lives.

Carrick should be our player of the season atleast based off his consistency this season. RvP has really gone off the boil something serious he needs to know that this is not Arsenal and we perform in the 2nd half of the season.

Anderson is a joke of an athlete. He could barely get off the pitch when subbed. He was so tired.

Cannot emphasize enough how bad Valencia has been.

DDG doing very well there despite being clattered by Vidic and a Sunderland player.

Well after last season I would never take anything for granted.

We were 8 points ahead after City lost to Arsenal at the Emirates and all we had to do what get 3 points before meeting City at the Etihad but we lost to Wigan, drew at home to Everton ( despite being 4-2 up) and then lost to City. We lost an 8 point lead with 4 games to go. Madness. I know it would be nice to win the FA Cup again as its been a very long time we've won it but I wont risk the Premier League title for it. Would rather put all my eggs in that basket thank you very much.

I dont know about which one is better yet but that HTC One wins on looks. Absolutely stunning.
