Utd were poor and have been for the last few games, at least we're still top but with performances like this I wonder how long for

SAF knows more about this than me but surely you keep your biggest players for the biggest games?? So Darren Fletcher starts and Ronaldo's on the bench??

Maybe because the game on Tuesday is x10 bigger than that game. Chelsea won, oh well, the league is still in our hands, i would still say we are big favourites to win it, this result just gives Chelsea a bit of hope. I thought a draw would have been a fair result and the penalty was very very questionable.

At the very least we should have been settling for a draw today, and there's no way you'll get anything other than a loss at Stamford Bridge if you don't have players like Ronaldo on the pitch. You're right, we're still in the driving seat but this relies on us winning our last 2 games - and Steve Bruce has better display a measure of gratitude for his career on May 11th when he chooses his side.

Well, we were drawing until Ronaldo came on.

Obviously a draw would have taken the pressure off, but in terms of the league we will have time to prepare for West Ham at home and Wigan away unlike this game. I still think theres a decent chance of Chelsea dropping points in the last two games as well.

He is good, real potential there

Well, another cracking Old Firm game. The first half a bit better than the second.

Pity the picture quality on Setanta is carp...

The Everton Villa game was another cracker today with 3 goals in 6 minutes at the end.

Only just watched highlights of yesterdays games.

Can anyone tell me why Michael Owen, who was doing an impersonation of Meadowlark Lemon in his own penalty area got away without conceding a penalty??
