i'm surprised you would concede.

really the equation has not changed, Chelsea still need 2 wins, and the fact that Man U have to go to Stamford Bridge isn't making me rest easy yet.

it really comes down to this weekend...i am sure Man City would LOVE to cause grief for United this weekend.

danger game ahead!

I'd rather be playing City than Arsenal and I'd also be happy to be proved wrong (regarding the title). Can't see it though.

well i hope you are not wrong.

Spoiler: Spoiler

Man Utd win a scrappy match 1-0 thanks to another C Ronaldo Penalty...8 points clear

 

[brendothejet]

all I can say is City continue to kick me square in the balls....much like a large group of Man U fans last night who I am sure wanted to do nothing more than beat me to a pulp.

f**kwits.

nice dive from Ronoldo

if ever there was a square up from a ref, that was it he never had control of that game

LOL, don't make yourself look stupid mate, he was fouled, he was fouled throughout the whole game, Man City are scum and I hope Ball gets whats coming to him for that dog act.

We controlled the game brilliantly and justice was served when VDS saved the "penalty" given to city.

i was worried about that match. that should wrap it up.

 

[Eskimo Sharkie]

Congrats guys. Would have been nice to have taken it to Stamford Bridge for a possible Premiership decider, but them's the breaks. 20 goals better than us and Arsenal in attack and that's the difference.

Well done and thoroughly deserved.

 

[N.Hindmarsh_Fan]

Thanks Mate!!

United!! United!! United!!!

 

[big pat]

we are the champions, we are the champions, no time for losers because we are the champions my friend.

 

[stuke]

beautiful!

it would have been great if Stanford bridge clash was 'live' but i am sure that Man U won't lose any sleep over it.

really sets up the FA Cup Final as Chelsea will be smarting over it. no way will they just want a League Cup to show for the season.

Giuseppe Rossi wants to return to United next season and make his mark in the Premiership.

The striker, 20, has been a revelation on loan at Parma - a brace against Messina on Sunday took his tally to six goals in seven games - but he is adamant that his future lies in England despite his Serie A success.

"I want to come back to United not as the kid in the reserves who makes a step up, but as a player fully involved in the senior squad," Rossi exclusively told Inside United Magazine.

"United are my main priority. It's where I want to be and where I want to play."

Prior to his fruitful time at Parma, Rossi spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Newcastle, and feels he now has the experience to make the grade at Old Trafford.

"I needed to go out on loan to get more experience," he said. "But I want to be part of the United squad and become a first-team regular.

"You always want to be confident in your own ability. I am and I really hope I can make my mark next season because I want to stay at Old Trafford for as long as I can."

great experience for him, playing in 2 great leagues in the one season.

In transfer news, the Mirror claims United are on the trail of Dutch hot-shot Klaas Jan Huntelaar. Sir Alex has sent his brother Martin to watch tall 23-year-old targetman Huntelaar in Ajax's last two games. He would cost the champions around £12million.

speculation in English papers claim that a deal has been done with Hargreaves for 18 million up front, with added extras according to whatever Man U win with him there.

they also speculate that Saha is on the way out after having a confrontation with Sir Alex....we all know what happens to players who cross the boss at Man U!

 

[sydraider]

I was wondering when or if Rossi was coming back, im excited about this kid.

Me too but he struggled at Newcastle, seems like he is more suited to Serie A with his size but I hope I'm wrong, brilliant talent.

Class especially that goal from 46 seconds. Looks good from the spot too.

 

[stuke]

plenty of good players have struggled at Newcastle.....
