Still, it is great to have three games between Arsenal and Liverpool in six days. Great for football.

How 'bout Setanta getting Liverpool, Arsenal, United and Chelsea all in the same weekend?

I'd like to see all three games between arse and scum end up as a draw...both drop a couple of points in the league and have to play o/t in the champs lge...tired legs being the result. Add to that tempers will be stretched by game three so we might see some supsensions. Then if shitty do their cross-town loveable neighbours a favour this weekend United could pretty much have it wrapped up by Monday. Having said all that Boro always give utd fits for some reason so I'm taking nothing for granted.
 
 I see old Goofy at Barca is out for the season..more good news for UTD if we get past Roma.

You couldn't write this stuff for a movie. Your cross town rivals who hate  you with a passion because of an inferiority complex go a long way to handing you the title by taking points off you closest challengers.

If only shitty had helped us out as well...

Both goals were scored where Vidic would normally be.  And as if it couldn't get worse, Rio limped off.  Eesh.

Not to worry, United have depth this season (for a change) I can't see them letting it slip away this late in the season, and rumour has it Cech was involved in a fight on the practice field with an unnamed player so Chelski are in a bit of a turmoil right now...I can honestly see them going out on Tuesday. Goals don't come easy for them and Fenerbache will just field 9 defenders and shut up shop.
 
 Arse are just too far away to chase the premiership and seem to be losing their nerve so I can see Liverpool going through.

His face was rebroken and he's out for at least two weeks.
