All this off topic stuff is stupid, and that's being generous.

[Liverpool]

football finance

[Gibbo]

Words can not describe how much I despise Phil Jones

[Craig_H]

hence why its the same plan but done differently?

If the plan is 'improve and be successful' then yeah, i suppose it's the same plan

[Muddled]

An Arsenal midfield of Ramsay, Song and Rosicky is wank. You begin to think they're going to be flattened, until you see Carrick and Giggs lining up to face them.

Yet they still keep winning, well United do.

Oh, and this Sky 'payback' build up is toe-curlingly cringeworthy, especially them highlighting the odds of Arsenal winning 8-2 and Spurs winning 5-1.

(125,000/1 if you missed it)

[Kenneth]

If song is fit he's pretty good imo. I think Arsenal will win this.

[Craig_H]

This is a real dilemma now. A manc win is best for us. But

Docile cunt just doesn't have enough venom.

[Gibbo]

Not as Cringy as the fortress Etihad montage . Sky milk it for all it's worth, the one with us vs City on Wednesday will probably be all about us being in trouble and can king Jenny lead his wounded men into battle etc etc etc

[Craig_H]

Man Utd's defence and midfield is laughable Yet they ****ing win It's absolutely beyond logic.

[Craig_H]

That's what the mancs have got though, it's a winning and battling mentality.

When we went 3-1 down yesterday, heads all dropped and there was no fight, no spirit and no belief or desire, apart from Bellamy.

The mancs have those things in spades. They have a winning mentality, we dont.

[Kenneth]

Mentality is part of it, but strategy/tactics and training are as big a part.
That's the end of my professional insight on the topic

Credit to old Whiskey Nose for that.

You could say about quality players also being a big part and logically they are, but then you look at Man Utd's midfield/defence - and it makes you wonder.

Good to see how much Ferguson trusts his £18m goalkeeper

Surprised Henry isnt even on the bench for the gooners here, i thought he was the 'saviour' ?
