Not going to disagree, the euphoria of winning a 20th league title made me forget zabaleta.

Well we drew the second half, god thats as good as it gets.

Depressing times as a Villa fan.

Sunderland home next monday night. I think we'll edge that one.

by The Special Juan Tue Apr 23, 2013 12:57 am

At least player of the year was settled tonight.

by NickisBHAFC Tue Apr 23, 2013 12:57 am

Well done to Man United. Sir Alex really is a legend. Never ever going to get one of him again!

Yeah Rafael has improved a lot this season Ent, good year for him

by GSC Tue Apr 23, 2013 12:59 am

Mikels not a bad holding player, he just can't play football very well lol.

Dunno mate, Sunderland can defend a bit and have a goal in them.

You should be worried!

On another note, I'd love to return Spurs' favour next week by beating Arsenal.

by **Hero** Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:00 am

Fred the Red has been on the pies

by Imperial Ghosty Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:01 am

Judging by the celebrations, Rooney isn't going anywhere but Nani is a gonna, here's hoping anywhere.

Olly wrote:Yeah Rafael has improved a lot this season Ent, good year for him

Not gonna lie I wanted rid.

For 90% of the season he has been unrecognisable, defended very well - still got a mistake in him but genuinely believe in the next 2 seasons those will be cut out and he'll distance himself from the rest of pl fullbacks.

by JamesLincs Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:02 am

hahahaha. rooneys got a manc accent now

by GSC Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:03 am

I really don't know on Rooney. If the Falcao rumors have some truth to them, I can't see Rooney being too enfused with playing CM.

by Ent Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:04 am

Votes are in already, bale will win 2 players of the year for playing well for 12 weeks in total across 3 seasons.

Have been worried for a while.

Will be a tough game in fairness.
Gotta be confident to get the win though.
Otherwise whats the point.

Well done tonight btw.

Evra the legend.

by Ent Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:05 am

Lol at evra biting that arm...

by GSC Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:05 am

Still think Villa are for the drop. Looked utterly useless tonight until United took their foot off the gas

by Ent Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:07 am

I'm hoping Newcastle drop into it.

we dont need another striker

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:08 am

I still can't believe we beat Man Utd this season.

How

by JPX Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:08 am

Falcao is massively overrated.

You say that, but United can't afford to be as lax as City were in last years window.

Yeah but hopefully it will be a midfielder and the flanks we strengthen.

by Ent Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:31 am

No pressure on phil jones anyway... Lol

by Imperial Ghosty Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:45 am

Jones has come on massively since the turn of the year, a top player in the making, he's a very good central defender who can be used at right back and central midfield when needed.

Yeah seeing him I htought he was destined to be a top player for us, but Fergie has just said he is potentially out best player ever.

No pressure son.

by Imperial Ghosty Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:50 am

He has a very bright future, for somebody so young he has very good anticipation, he seems to have thrived from the faith shown in him recently, if Buttner tightens up defensively I have no worries about our defence going forward. Rafael, De Gea and Jones have progressed a lot this year, while Smalling and Evans aren't bad back up players with the benefit of still being relatively young.

Ryan Giggs has won as many top English league titles as Chelsea, Man City, Newcastle and Tottenham combined.

He's tied with arsenal on 13 I believe.

Sam Wallace ‏@SamWallaceIndy
Fergie tonight on RVP: “Arsene said to me when we concluded the deal [last summer], 'He's a better player than you think'”

Literally handed Utd the title on a platter

You scored more goals than them Olly.

Keep up kidda.

by TRUSSMAN66 Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:40 pm

Congratulations to Utd from a Man City fan........Have to hand it to them their ability to manufacture results when they aren't playing well is outstanding............

After last year this year was always likely to be an anti climax.........

Hope next year the quality improves..............With Mourinho at Chelsea should be a three horse race...........

by marty2086 Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:48 pm

I hope all the journos who predicted Utds demise at the start of the season and one who stated half the squad weren't good enough in January issue grovelling apologies

Why is it when Mourinho and Chelsea blew everyone out of the water it was a great team yet when Utd do it the leagues poor and the Utd team aren't fit to lace the boots of all who've gone before?

As we're always reminded you beat whos in front of you and I think so far this season Utd have beaten everyone except for Spurs

by Ent Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:54 pm

Got to be preparing for next season now.

Zaha is coming in, nani likely leaving.

I'd like to see Anderson shown the door, with a new cm and winger brought in.

Goetze off to bayern I see, pity seems like a very good player.

by The Special Juan Tue Apr 23, 2013 1:59 pm

Valencia's not had a good season but he played very well last night. I thought I should mention that seeing as I had a go at him not that long ago.

by Stella Tue Apr 23, 2013 2:03 pm

Is Ronaldo not coming back, or is that just pie in the sky? I heard Rooney was off to PSG, to accomodate Ronaldo's wages.
Probably bulls..t of course.

I read over the weekend Ronaldo signed a new contract at Real so highly unlikely he'll go back to Utd, all just media hype to fill pages sure Falcao was coming last week with Rooney going to PSG

by JPX Tue Apr 23, 2013 2:10 pm

Hopefully England deserter Rio will be sold to a team far from these shores.
