I would love it if ManUre kept Berbatov and sold Tevez......to Liverpool.

On another note it was funny watching Fergie go mental on the sidelines following that non-penalty. It should have been a penalty, but still funny whenever Fergie loses it!

Man U wouldn't be able to sell Tevez as they don't really own him, but i know what your saying.

Sir Alex explosion = Priceless

I've never seen Sir Alex get quite that animated before. It was quite amusing after the fact. As for the non-penalty, you get those decisions sometimes. You have to be good enough to overcome them. The young blokes we fielded played well, and as ever Ferdinand and Vidic were twin rocks at the back, but we lacked the killer instinct Ronaldo or Rooney would have provided. Them's the breaks. Well done to Everton, and hopefully they can roll Chelsea in the final.

Thanks to Arsenal this morning we are looking much more likely to secure the League, and to be honest I would be willing to let slip the Champions League to secure the title ahead of Liverpool. I can see Arsenal knocking us out given that is all they have to play for now, and we're still battling on two fronts. For mine the League title should always be first priority, as it rewards consistency over 10 months. One slip-up can see you out of any Cup competition, no matter how well you played in other games leading up to it. Don't get me wrong, I still hope we win both, but if push comes to shove I'd be much more gutted if we lost the Legaue and won the Champions League than I would be the other way round.

I tend to agree re Berbatov. He is very clever with his general play, but given he is a striker and not a midfielder, and thus there to score goals, he has been a disappointment. I think it's high time Tevez/Rooney became our standard front two again. Berbatov can play off the bench or start to give one of the other two a break. I think we should punt Berba at the end of the year, use the funds to secure Tevez, and realise we have two good young backups in Wellbeck and Macheda.
Berbatov has been better than Tevez this season. Tevez has scored a grand total of 3 league goals this season, and he's had plenty of games. He's basically been Alan Smith out there - plenty of running around but nothing else.

Berbatov certainly hasn't been good, but at least he has been able to test the opposition defence a bit more.

Mancs are clear favourites now. With the defence looking solid again they should win it now. But this season has had too many twists and turns for anyone to rest on their laurels.

Big games tonight. Obviously it'd be nice if Liverpool and Chelsea fell over and made it easier on us, but I think it's just easier if we play like we did the other night with a bit of polish added to our finishing and take it out of other team's hands. Once again the scheduling puts us after Liverpool and Chelsea's matches giving us the slight advantage of knowing exactly where we stand heading in. Another late night I fear, though I've got it set to record in case I fall asleep.

Staying awake for this is going to be a bitch. Spurs will be hard to beat, much better team now than they were under Ramos.

f**k yes!!

Brilliant second half comeback, who says we can't play Rooney, Tevez, Berbatov and Ronaldo at the same time.
