    I'll have some of what your drinking,closing the gap quality wise do me a favour this team is screaming out for some quality,its because of the lack of it that this team has become more average,the points difference between the two sides tells the true story.<rose>.

    Also, it's worth mentioning that we've stopped ManUre from being able to break the points in a season record <laugh>


    We're the party poopers.

    To be fair to him (Fergie), Ramsey did foul nearly every single United player.

    It might be worth playing him instead of Arteta in some games, i dont think we create enough with both of them together

    On Ramsey, he did some good work off the ball but I thought he was pretty bad on it. Had a few chances to really create some clear chances and he over hit his pass. Good, honest player, but lacks any real quality in that final third.

    If we beat QPR next week and Chelsea fail to win at Old Trafford we'll go about them them with them still needing to play Spurs.

    You didn't say that. You said he should be playing better, like you are some kind of expert on how players should play after they have been injured for a month. Typical sad **** that thinks he gains something from dissing our players.

    Has anybody seen a reply of the 'foul' on Gibbs by Ferdinand in the box near the end ?

    I thought that was a good shout for a pen, the ball ended up at Gervinho's feet and I wonder if the ref would have given it if the we had lost possession of the ball ?

    Technically there might have been something there, but realistically you are never going to get it called in that situation.

    He was injured for 1 month, and he's been cack since. He came back from an 18 month injury, and looked the same player he was before. It just doesn't make sense.

    Podolski wasn't great but don't forget he hasn't played much recently as he has been carrying an injury, has only played that position for us once (I think) in the first game of the season and it was against the best team in the league this season, so once you take that into account I think he did very well. He looked just as good as Giroud who has been playing there all season while fit.

    Other than that I think Jenkinson has to play the last few games.

    He's just off form at the moment, it happens to all players at some point.

    Ramsey is not there to be an attacking player atm. He is there to break up opponents play and for his workrate. He cant be faulted on what hes been doing week in week out for a couple of months now. If he was able to pass with the ability some people like you demand he would be one of the best midfielders in the world, but having said that he did play a few great passes today as well as some of less quality..

    Not sure that I agree with you. In my opinion, Man United have won the league on consistency against the clubs they should beat. They just haven't slipped up all season the way the other clubs have. They are fairly short of top quality as well, but they have greater confidence than we do and they have managed to get a few breaks along the way as well.

    I'm not saying that they don't deserve the title because clearly they do, but this year's victory was down to hard work, organization and concentration, rather than outstanding ability. It was a great team performance and not won by the performance of a few superstars carrying the rest of the team.

    He is not an out an out attacking player, but that does not excuse his poor passes when he got into good positions. It was not even that hard, but he over hit his pass twice. The one where he had Podolski and Walcott pick from and he still managed to **** it up was the worse. We were winning 1-0 at the point and that was the real chance to double our lead.

    If we are going to move forward, than we need to upgrade on players like Ramsey,Giroud,Sagna and etc.

    The whole Utd team were booed at the guard of honour.

    I'm asking who were really the sour faced ones?

    I would have taken a draw before kick off so not bad.
    I heard Sagna had a mare, Jenks needs to play.
    Jack stillnot 100% but he will improve and good to see Theo getting a goal
    Next 3 games are all must win and we can beat QPR Newcastle and Wigan.
    Hopefully United hold Chavski at **** trafford
