Yeah, I guess my hopes ride with Spurs winning that game in hand on the 20th... United has a tough fixture list coming up, and losing Vidic for Anfield will not make that game any easier. Liverpool has something to prove, and I expect them to try to remedy that Hammer fiasco this weekend...
If the Gunners can keep focus and not let the Carling disaster kill their confidence, they've got a good shout for the title this time. The Champions league... maybe not. And they still have to get past Orient to even play United in the FA Cup. Should be an intense few weeks.
Shame MUFC has been so... mediocre this season. It's been a weird year, if we (or anyone) had put in a better season it'd be a runaway at the top haha.

Liverpool will definatley take us winning the Title than United thats for sure .Looks like we will get knocked out by Barca but we will get past Orient.
Our only tough away game left is the derby but we still play United at our backyard (huge match up)

Chelsea - Man United has shown how fantastic Premier League football can be. It also showed how bad refereeing can be in such crucial match. Vidic deserved red card, but penalty? And D. Luiz staying on? He should have been booked more than two times.
Brown and Smalling against Liverpool at Anfield? God help us.
And Arsenal have easier games left. Sure, there's derby at WHL but United travel to Anfield, Emirates, play Chelsea at home and other away games (unpredictable Newcastle, who still fights for Europa League, Blackburn and West Ham, desperate to stay in PL).

Every team drops points. I hope that Arsenal's team will drop more points than United under the pressure. Direct match between these two will have huge importance. I wonder if the FA Cup game between these two will have impact on the performance throughout the rest of the season.

Except those Easy Games are Where Arsenal Drop points this season
.I do believe it is ours to lose but If I would to bet on the title Then it would be United .

Typical F.A Giving us the Rookie official in an Important game (Fergie is proud of you
).That cheating scum 🤬 us in a Late Penalty claim and ruling Arshavin's balatently ONside goal .What a Bunch of bollocks

I've seen some replays now on Match of the Day and I have to agree that Arshavin's goal was correct and Arsenal deserved a penalty for Bramble's tackle on Arshavin.
But Mark Clattenburg who was refereeing Fulham - Blackburn was even worse.
I'm disappointed with Newcastle, can they cling to a lead? I wonder how will Alan Pardew spend the money for Carroll.

I lol'd so hard at Nani's defensive header that turned out to be the perfect layoff for Kuyt. Absolutely hilarious.
CMON ARSENAL!

Fantastic game at Molineux, but I feel that it was harsh on Wolves as Hutton should be sent off and the disallowed goal was correct (also, Gomes seems to foul Stearman, not reverse). Great strikes by Defoe 👍
As a Manchester United fan I'm gutted about the today's result, but I admit Liverpool deserved it. Good to see consistency from ref, but both Carragher and Rafael deserved to be sent off for their tackles.
I feel bad for Wigan, they didn't deserve to lose to City. Massive error by Al-Habsi, who was really good this season.

To add to that, Arsenal didn't deserve to draw sunderland either. The ref could of possibly cost them the title by his stupid decisions. Disallowed goal that in fact was legit, clear penalty shove on Arshavin that the ref didnt give. Played so much better especially late in the 2nd half.
Was even worse than the Wigan 2-2 match earlier this season.
Video Ref'ing = a must. Football needs to get with the times.

Another decision that makes you go WTF.

I'm sorry, no. He clearly just wanted to get on with the game! The security wasn't dealing with the situation (in the video they're sort of standing around...) so he decided that since he was capable of bringing a halt to the interruption he would. This is the kind of activity that should be rewarded in my opinion, if there's an interruption and the player takes care of it, more power to him.
Shocking decision by the official. Hopefully DTFC gets it all sorted. It'd be a shame to have them penalized any more than by the loss for that.

I've been to Old Trafford today and I have to say that when announcer said who's gonna be starting today, I saw many raised eyebrows. 7 defenders? 
And in the first half it was typical United and typical Arsenal: ones were dominating and others were 1-0 up. In the second half it was miles better from United and slightly better from Arsenal, really pleased with Smalling (again 👍) and Van der Sar (his retirement will be a massive blow at the end of the season, man of the match). I think that Valencia played well, I couldn't tell he missed half a year of playing. Slightly disappointed with Hernandez, he should have done better with some shots. Scholes played too recklessly, his tackles were risky and unnecessary, if he was sent off (he really should have) that'd be really stupid. Bad decision by the ref but it wouldn't have affected the game too much.
Another blow to Arsenal, out of three competitions in 13 days. Djorou won't play this season again due to his clash with Sagna.

My hopes for Arsenal's Title are over. With a full team they could beat anyone, which they have proved against Barca etc. However like this they really don't stand a chance, and now Djourou and Szczesny out, i hardly believe we'll win any more than 2-3 matches for the rest of this season.
Sad, the team was a recking force at their peak, an absolute pleasure to watch, but it's hardly worth watching with most of the team out. Guess i won't have to wake up at 2-6am on the weekends now at least.
