Even if West Ham win this game, United will still win the title.

by Ent Wed 17 Apr 2013, 8:22 pm

Bit of class from kagawa there, needed if as I was struggling to see where a goal would come from.

by Ent Wed 17 Apr 2013, 8:28 pm

Some quality diving from west ham tonight.

by The Special Juan Wed 17 Apr 2013, 8:29 pm

Man Utd have scored! Quick, stop slagging them and start waxing lyrical!!

by Guest Wed 17 Apr 2013, 8:31 pm

Chelsea are one up.

by Ent Wed 17 Apr 2013, 8:34 pm

Dirty that from Carroll, poor half really- one right moment got us a goal. Needs to be much better second half.

by Duty281 Wed 17 Apr 2013, 8:39 pm

Wigan holding Man City, 0-0 HT. If it stays that way, and Spurs beat City on Sunday, City may be looking over their shoulders anxiously.

by Guest Wed 17 Apr 2013, 8:42 pm

Good work thus far from Wigan. Even if they come away with only a 2-0 loss then it's not going to hammer their goal difference. A point at Eastlands will be a great result.

by Guest Wed 17 Apr 2013, 8:47 pm

Chelsea 2-0 up and cruising. Thought Fulham would pose a problem or two. Obviously not.

by The Special Juan Wed 17 Apr 2013, 8:58 pm

Booo!!! #FergieOut

by Ent Wed 17 Apr 2013, 8:59 pm

Great strike, Rooney beaten far too easily before hand.
Really disappointing performance so far.

by Duty281 Wed 17 Apr 2013, 9:02 pm

Wigan the better team than City at the moment.

by Duty281 Wed 17 Apr 2013, 9:17 pm

I gather Rooney played poorly tonight, wonder if he is off to Paris?

by GSC Wed 17 Apr 2013, 9:19 pm

Nah, visiting hours at the OAP home have been cut so hes got to be off early

by JamesLincs Wed 17 Apr 2013, 9:19 pm

anyone who thinks wigan dont deserve to be in the premier league are idiots, this is the first time ive watched them properly this season and they have been brilliant

by GSC Wed 17 Apr 2013, 9:21 pm

I watched Torres have a great game. Anyone who thinks he isnt worth 50m is an idiot Whistle

Well that's that then..

by Duty281 Wed 17 Apr 2013, 9:24 pm

2-2 RVP.

by Guest Wed 17 Apr 2013, 9:27 pm

City 1-0 up. James has jinxed em.

this performance matches the description of their performances throughout the season

by Duty281 Wed 17 Apr 2013, 9:28 pm

Wigan's resistance broken, 1-0 City, Tevez with a good finish.

by JamesLincs Wed 17 Apr 2013, 9:28 pm

they dont deserve that, wigan have honestly been better

by Ent Wed 17 Apr 2013, 9:30 pm

Kagawa has quality I just wish we would see it more often he is very quiet in games a lot of the time.

by Duty281 Wed 17 Apr 2013, 9:31 pm

I can hear the Citeh fans now, they only sing when they're winning.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 17 Apr 2013, 9:31 pm

Wigan were fairly pants for the first half of the season bar the odd game.

by The Special Juan Wed 17 Apr 2013, 9:39 pm

Another point closer.

I'm reminded of that Sheryl Crow song. "I get a little bit closer" or something.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 18 Apr 2013, 12:55 am

We deserved our point and maybe more tonight. Can see much of the title winning spirit in Man United, they whinge like the glorious teams of Fergie's past. Sometimes you feel it's sheer psychology with Man United in games, they weren't at the races today and I don't think we let them ever get into their stride. Andy Carroll was brilliant, I think with Joe Cole in the side instead of Vaz Te (who is ok but inconsistent as hell) and someone useful instead of Nolan then we win that game. Little steps, we are newly promoted, but there's a lot to be happy about at the Boleyn.

I fear for Wigan. They usually do more by now, I think the cup is a dangerous distraction and could be their downfall.

by The Special Juan Fri 19 Apr 2013, 12:28 pm

Mata or Carrick for me.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 19 Apr 2013, 1:39 pm

Mata or Suarez for me.

How Welbeck is up for Young Player if the Year I will never ever know

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 19 Apr 2013, 1:44 pm

Oh and Michu not on the player of the year list is a glaring omission

by GSC Fri 19 Apr 2013, 1:45 pm

Carrick

by The Special Juan Fri 19 Apr 2013, 1:53 pm

Why laugh? I don't understand. He's been consistently good all season.

by GSC Fri 19 Apr 2013, 1:55 pm

Cazorla, Baines, Zabaleta, Michu all had better seasons. He's a pretty meh player in a good team

by The Special Juan Fri 19 Apr 2013, 2:03 pm

Defensive players don't get enough love; nearly everyone on the list's an attacking player. At the end of the day, has Michu been better than Van Persie or Suarez? No.

by GSC Fri 19 Apr 2013, 2:10 pm

And I just named 2 that have been better than Carrick

by The Special Juan Fri 19 Apr 2013, 2:16 pm

Attacking defenders (especially in Baines' case). I would have had Zabaleta on the list though.

by GSC Fri 19 Apr 2013, 2:26 pm

Baines has been good defensively. More to the point, Carrick isn't a great defender himself

by The Special Juan Fri 19 Apr 2013, 2:32 pm

His "tackles won" percentage isn't bad. 70-odd percent.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 19 Apr 2013, 2:37 pm

Think Carrick has had a very good season. Hazard shouldnt be on that list. Really hard to call. RVP has gone a little quiet, but Bale and Suarez both have fired their team to the fat sum of nothing so far. Mata is wonderful, probably their best player in nearly every game.

Benteke just over Lukaku for young player

by GSC Fri 19 Apr 2013, 2:45 pm

Bale has a 70 odd tackle percentage also.

I'd take any I mentioned above over Carrick who seems to get most of his credit for being in a great team.

by Guest Fri 19 Apr 2013, 4:31 pm

Carrick's Poopie

by Duty281 Fri 19 Apr 2013, 4:34 pm

Bale first, Suarez second, RVP third.

by marty2086 Fri 19 Apr 2013, 4:44 pm

All those dismissing Carrick really know nothing, I bet you did the same with Scholes and Xavi too before the bandwagon got rolling there

Carrick this season has been integral to Utd in the league

Not really. It was obvious from the offset that those two were special players. A bit late in the day for Carrick's bandwagon to get going.

Hahahaha. Xavi and Scholes actually offer something going forward, try again

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 19 Apr 2013, 5:43 pm

Fans of West Ham, Tottenham and United will all tell you how much they like Carrick. A player who would be vastly more appreciated by the masses if he was called Carrichio.

His distribution is beautiful, his timing of a pass delightful and he is always willing to have the ball, often only needing a second to move it on with either foot in uncomfortable situations. I always liked him at West Ham, and I was so happy he left Spurs so I could enjoy his play again. I watched him a lot on Wednesday night and he is a fantastic player to watch in close quarters.

by The Special Juan Fri 19 Apr 2013, 5:59 pm

He's better than Modric (I know that's got nothing to do with anything, but he is).
