I remember, a few years back, ManU were leading the league by a gap of 20-something points after Christmas and Arsenal stormed past us to win both league and FA cup. It can be done.

Depressing day for me today as a Spurs fan, losing 3-0 to Arsenal, via two dubious penalties and an offside goal. We didn't play well but to lose by so much and for all the goals to be unfair is irratating. Made worse by the fact that the 11-a-side and 5-a-side football teams I play for both lost so not a great week footy wise

I think Fergie will use him sparingly. Saha and Rooney will obviously still be first choice, with Solskjaar and Larson as backup.

I always like to hope that the top five teams will cancel each other out a bit to keep things interesting. But I guess, in the last few years, the winning has rarely lost more than 3/4 games. Which is a shame.
Hector wrote:Hell yes, Beer!! I remember that game, I still have the official Man Utd (magazine) match report for it.
Tell me, was that the same year that Newcastle and Liverpool (I think it was) had those colosal (clash of the titan type) matches ...one of which finished 4-3 with goals flying in, in the last 5 minutes??
The game certainly looked different then. I don't know if you have any old videos, but there were still quite a few belly's running around on the pitch. Where as today everyone is very, very lean and not quite as physically imposing.
