United have been beneficiaries of "idiosyncratic" referees many times in the past, as have most clubs, so thats no excuse. They were expected, or they expected, to win this game and didn't. Makes the title race interesting especially with Citeh in the mix, albeit having played 2 more games than the Arsenal and the Mancs. The win against CSKA Fulham was most enjoyable, especially the manner of the win.

Darn. A dull match would have been compensated for. Eneded up in the CPT as no show at the Actress.

I'm a gooner, and feeling very chuffed indeed. Mainly because United dropped points again last night. Hopefully we can pick another 3 up tonight, and its game on for the rest of the season! Citeh's form is starting to worry me though, especially considering we've got them in a few days!

[Emerson Crane]

If we play at our best we should fear no team. Bit that's just the problem with the Arsenal, we play great one week and indifferent the next. The league will be won by a fairly mediocre team no matter who wins it. I can't remember a poorer Premier League than this season.

[murphy]

Utd have still got to play Chelsea twice plus Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs away so will drop more points, should be close come the end of the season.

Palace conceded a penalty in the 5th minute of injury time at Bristol yesterday - gutted. I can now look forward to a trip to Millwall v Palace on New Years Day, sure they will give us a nice warm welcome.

[Emerson Crane]

Oh I'm sure they will welcome you with open arms.

[Keef]

Quids, I was in the cpt, sorry I didn't see you.

Hmmmm..... you're including yourselves in that assessment? I think this season is much more exciting as there are more teams in the mix and not just the same two in contention as has been the case year in year out. Looking at the Premiership at the moment it's possible that any one of five teams could win it.

[Emerson Crane]

Oh I do include ourselves, and as far as I'm concerned three teams are in the mix to win it, the Mancs, the Arsenal and Citeh.

[Annasfield]

It's a very weak league this season. We've been absolutely shite, yet we're still not that far from the top.

[????]

You mean to say we're 2nd bottom in a sh1t league.....:'(

[Emerson Crane]

'fraid so.

[matthew123]

I think quality at top end of PL has been going downhill since 2006, but seen some great end to end football recently on TV watching Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal. It's definitely an exciting season and I am sticking with my tip Arsenal to be Champions.

I have to say that Spurs have been one of the bright lights this season. While some of the top teams might have lost a bit of quality, Spurs have stepped up and for the neutral they been many people's favourite team to watch.

[Jah Lush]

Hoorah! Well said Mick Mac.

[Mick Mac]

What on earth was Wenger doing tonight with 8 changes? Happy to give back 2 of the hard earned points he won against Chelsea. Arsenal fans must be furious.

[ruffers]

Those Liverpool players should be ashamed of themselves, they appear to have given up or be actively trying to shift the blame to anywhere but their door. And the crowd could have got behind them a bit as well - it sounded like a training match.

Truly a club in bother.

[????]

If I could just add...thanks Liverpool, thanks Arsenal...Cunts

[Mick Mac]

You should probably be glad Liverpool have dropped points - its not clear who might be in the relegation mix at the end of the season.

;-)

[SimonM]

So 2 Lancs clubs (Burnley & Preston) sack their managers....

jamais deux sans trois M. Hodgson? :(

[????]

Ferguson gone by the weekend?

[Bluerevolution]

Dzeko done deal, medical on friday 27.5m ! Happy days at Eastlands

[ruffers]

Even Balotelli smiled..

Looking forward to Arsenal away, anything away really but especially as I'm going thanks to mrs ruffers Christmas present buying. Blackpool at home should be good if we go for it..

[Jah Lush]

How much? Jeez!!! No-one else can afford that sort of money in these harsh times. Not even Chelsea and I'd be very surprised if they did something similar despite their current problems on the pitch.
