      -2 for Arsenal ... Must be chilly. Well done United. +2 points and one more game to play (Blackpool). Well done Park... Defense was great tonight. Another clean sheet. To bad Wayne missed the penalty.

      Must say, dispite I am UTD fan, I was amazed with young Arsenal`s goalkeeper. Best performance from him. Well done fella.

        Well impressed, great result. Would av liked a few more goal's but you'd take a 1-0 from anyone. More impressed with the heart they all showed, everybody was really up for it, great effort by all. Nice to see Fletch with the bit between his teeth too. Rooney put in a great effort up front on his own, ran his heart out, well done son !!!!!!

          I've got to say it's some crisis what United are in... Not played well all season, but top of the league with a game in hand! Into last 16 of Champs league qualifying top. Rooney staying and getting back to fitness along with others..

          Just imagine if you wern't in crisis!?

          Good luck for rest of season, though I think some other clubs in the EPL will need it more than you.

            It's been a struggle for Utd thus far but now it does look ominous for the rest 2 points clear a game in hand and a big clash at the bridge on Sunday. Would not rule Utd out from taking 3 points there but with Chelsea finding a bit of solidity id take a point from that. Anderson's been a massive boost and with rooneys return to form and also Carrick were now finding a different gear. Big mention also to Rafael what a sensation he is, amazes me every week and made that RB slot his own.

            Im off now in search of the Chelsea thread lmao although i dont fancy my chances finding it im sure someone will dig it up come Sunday, lets hope it aint one of them

                def mate before the arsenal game i was saying to mates before the game that i be delighted with 4 points out these two games. so cracking start to the first part of the massive games. great news that ando signed new 4 year contract today. i think sending rooney to the usa for that training/rehab etc could turn out to be a master stroke.

                  Il be happy getting chelsea out the way with at least a point because i think there blip is temporary and i think they will come on strong towards the end of the season i just hope we have enough left in us too scrape over the line because i dont think our squad is as good as it has been

                  Andersons finally looking like he could be a player he seems to be playing further forwrd where it suits him why its took fergie nearly 4 years to see this is beyond me he just needs to get in the box more snd he should get double figures every year i think it will come over time one thing that does worry me though is his stamina even before his injury he seems ~~~~ed at around 70 minutes

                  anyways things are looking pretty good at the minute but lets not be fooled it isnt much to do with our own powers its due to the rest of the league catching the so called big 4 up as we have all got worse over the last few seasons even chelsea have not seen too much investment finance has made the premier league a more even league apart from city but they have too much money to spend it wisely

                    Qatar royal family plan ?1.5bn takeover of Manchester United

                    Qatar royal family plan ?1.5bn takeover of Manchester United
                    The most famous name in English football is the target for the next wave of Arab invaders.

                    Across Manchester arch-rivals City are already owned by the Abu Dhabi United Group, led by billionaire Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

                    Now Qatar Holdings, an *investment vehicle for the Qatari royal family, are pursuing the ?1.5billion *takeover of Manchester United. The Gulf state of Qatar has already *landed the right to stage the 2022 World Cup finals in an audacious international coup.

                    The Qataris have also accumulated a huge range of trophy assets in *England.

                    These include the Harrods store and spectacular London properties such as One Hyde Park, the Shard of Glass and the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square.

                    Last week the Qatar Foundation, the charity wing of the ruling *family, bought the sponsorship rights to the Barcelona shirt. It was a declaration of their *intention of getting Qatar accepted as a global football brand.

                    Qatar Holdings is the third largest shareholder in car-maker VW and has a stake in Porsche.

                    Its chairman, Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani (right), who is also Qatar?s prime minister, is keen to add to their portfolio of *investments and sees United as an iconic *acquisition. The arrival of the Qatar billions would pave the way for the end of the controversial Glazer family reign.

                    The Arabs can satisfy any request for proof of funding from the Glazer family in the United States and are also willing to fund a massive *transfer fund for manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

                    United?s massive fan base around the globe are certain to welcome the change of ownership from the *controversial Glazer regime.

                    The American family seized *control for ?790million in 2005.

                    But the *Americans have incensed United supporters by borrowing against the club?s assets.

                    They loaded ?716m in debt against the club provoking outrage among United fans who believe too much of the club?s income was being *directed to pay prohibitive interest payments. A few weeks ago the Glazers did reduce United?s debt by paying back around ?200m in PIK loans.

                    These were payment in kind loans from three hedge funds that were charging 16.25 per cent in annual *interest.

                    Many City observers *believed that reduction in debt could spark a Glazer sell-off. There were even rumours that the funding for the change had come from overseas investors keen to take a stake in United ? but the Glazers denied this.

                    A group of United fans *calling themselves the Red Knights did try to launch a takeover coup a few months ago but backed off when they *discovered the Glazers would not entertain a bid of around ?1bn. However, the Qatar Holdings have set aside around ?2.5bn in funds to purchase the club and provide Sir Alex Ferguson with unlimited spending power in the transfer *market.

                    So far the Glazers have resisted attempts to drive them out of Old Trafford even though the fans have been so critical of their reign.

                    Now the scene could be set for the Glazers to leave with a massive profit. Qatar Holdings have been linked with a host of European *giants including Barcelona, Real Madrid and United?s Premier League rivals, Chelsea, Liverpool, *Tottenham and Newcastle.

                    However, United have always been top of their wish list.

                    The purchase of United would leave the club debt free and the most powerful club in the current transfer market.

                    And even neighbours City, with all their wealth, may find it hard to compete with the potential red *revolution.

                        Chelsea called todays game off a bit hastily methinks the pitch at stamford bridge has no snow yet they called it off at lunchtime yesterday


                        i think they are stalling till they get out of their slump


                        I know the roads and surrrounding area are probably bad but everyone knows this already and can set off in good time

                            Roman abramovich got those matches called off as well to make the whole conspiracy theory plausible.

                                As one who has now moved to the surrounding area with work you would not believe the state of the roads.. its like the south have no way of dealing with the snow, for a capital city the roads are ~~~~ing shocking, when I lived in Lincoln for a bit the roads were cleared a hell of a lot better and with more snowfall..

                                Even the big main roads A1, A41 etc are a joke, one lane cleared out of 3.. TFL need to take a long look at themselves.. there may have been 2ft of snow in 25mins but its like the snow plough and gritter dont exist..

                                The M25 was shut for hours as well today, if you had fans in Manchester it wouldn't have been a big problem as the M6 had been pretty much cleared but since most of you come from Essex where most of the south's snow fell it was only right to think of your safety
