some suggesting MON till the end of the season

how long til o'neil gets hounded out?

After 10 mins it looked like a walk in the park for Arsenal. Silva was a huge loss for us. He makes all the difference between a purely defensive approach and a dangerous counter attacking threat.

The plan this season has always been to secure CL qulaification and then, if we're still in contention, to consider having a real go for the title. But the title aspirations are still very much centred on next year. Yesterday was a great point won, particularly given Chelsea and Spurs' results.

And it wasn't a bad team effort in a week when the spirit of the squad has once again been questioned.

you don't say ?

Fergie is getting there for both. But he'll be 100 by the time he reaches that level.

Flipping this on its head, is there anyone you deem worthy enough to manage them other than Mourinho or Hiddink?

Another great night for Utd.

Which explains why Darren Fletcher is pretty much an ever present for Man United who in turn are not interested in a return for Beckham I guess??

Indeed.

I cant make my mind up about United. The conventional wisdom is that they go from strength to strength at this time of the season. They've remained unbeaten without being at their best and have ridden out a poor spell, returning to form whilst still top of the league. If that is the case then clearly they will stroll to the title. And they have a well established system and some good players so they could easily do that.

If I were a United fan, the only nagging doubt I'd have is whether their performances rather than results so far really are an accurate reflection of their ability, whether they've been a tad fortunate to remain unbeaten, and whether there might be a bad run of results lurking on the horizon, particularly when the CL hots up. It might be a case of lose one, lose three or four. In which case this could be Arsenal's year.

i think all the United fans i know wonder how the h3ll they are unbeaten, but accept there is a good mentality within the squad to not lose, it really is a strange PL this year, 2 points is it from 14th - 20th.

Many of the United teams of the past 20 years would presumably destroy this team, but they are getting results, i often think fergie picks teams that are strong enough to get the next result, and that is working usually, but some of them have been really tight games.

If & buts, but if Rooney kicks on after a decent showing against the baggies, Anderson builds on the recent promise, Nani continues to deliver and hopefully Valencia should be in contention from Feb (which you would assume would help Rooney in particular), it could be an exciting 2nd half of the season, but as the cup match at WHU shows, it's very easy to just have one of those days.

Utd have had some luck during the first half of the season but people say you make your own luck, take Villa away for example it looked like we would lose but the desire and spirit of the side came through and we salvaged a point, WBA away was the same, got a winner in a game we should never have won. Utd can't go on just edging games and need to start playing better, hopefully Rooney will only get better and the likes of Berba, Nani, Anderson and Scholes etc will continue to play well plus Valencia coming back will be a big boost.

There are some huge games to come Chelsea twice, Arsenal away, City at home, Liverpool away (which is always tough) and Spurs away. It's far from over but should Utd win their games in hand they would be 12 clear of Chelsea, 8 clear of City and 7 clear of Arsenal so it's a good position to be in.
