wake up and smell the coffee my dear because arsenal are finally tops..deception is the only cause as chelsea have one game in hand but gunners still lead after scoring more goals than the blues..59 and counting and on pace to shatter previous record...two wins in 4 days, maximum points and coming from 2 goals down it was definitely worth the win..but best wishes on the injured bolton player..horrific step of a challenge gallas did on him..never got the ball but not called for a foul though thats a yellow (maybe a red pending bad angles from the ref/linesman) if i know anything about football..

tevez!tevez!tevez! haunts united as promised as he put down united after ryan giggs opened the scoreline...a penalty and a header late gave city breathing room as they become an imposing 11 to united when the red devils play host to the second leg on the 27th..down 2-1 sir alex will be pulling all the stops to win..no remorse, but against city did he ever? ahaha..val is heated for sure..playing catch up is most difficult and united solemn play that role..

“im cheering along with val tonight, count on it”

..surely youre always rooting for the wrong side as me..is it bitterness? whats up? am i a city fan? no, i just love robinho..i root for him to score..when he doesnt i hate city..HATE city!!!

“money will never buy success..”

i hate to be the nag, but it does..not immediate success but city is well on their way...

whoever wins that tie will meet aston villa at wembley who are riding high form coming off a very entertaining 6-4 bout with the rovers..7-4 aggregate victory...my bets are high on villa to win...expect the infamous but genius “siege” tactics from villa and a blur-like attacking group to catch the opposition on the break every chance the villains get..they plan on 'stealing' the cup this year..haha sorry for the sour joke..

Ahahahaha sigh teves ruined Man U ( Bad Mood mode on)

4 from Rooney against Hull.. well Val must be jumping up and down after Wayne Ronney produced a career best to put Man U on poll position again to head the premier league Rooney the first United player to score 4 since Solskjaer completed his goal feast again Everton in 1999, Rooney has matured beyond recognition from his bad tempered displays of the past, to take Man U 2 points clear at the top.

Rooney with 20 goals so far the season looks certain to pass his previous best of 23..However a shadow looms on the horizon with growing interest from Real Madrid and a huge interest payment due on debts of over ?700,000,000?

Just trying saying that out load Val, I am not teasing I know how you feel, the Spanish Giants are plotting another raid on Rooney and the Glazers faced a bitter verbal attack yesterday from the United Fans.. ?love united, Hate the Glazers? sang the United faithfully decked out in the gold and green adopted by the protesting the old Trafford movement whose sole aim is to see the back of the parasite glazer family which has been so prevalent and for a monment outshone the blood Red of Man U Colours ?.such is the feeling of hate that the Glazers have attracted that the joke hitting terraces is ? What you throw a drowning Glazer?.his wife and children ??.Boohoo?now that is ?hurt? personified?

Real Madrid the biggest club in Europe see United under Glazer ownership as a financial wreak having been forced to sell Ronaoldo for ?80,000,000 to meet the financial realities that has so deeply concerning fans like Val, and let puts this into context from a Club who has dominated English domestic football for 20 years, the inevitable consequences is that this summer both Wayne Rooney and Nemanja Vidic will have to be sold , well at least Vidic?.

I want to examine in detail and highlight last weeks refinancing and bring this into sharp focus using LSE microeconomic principles last weeks successful ?500,000,000 bond issue, which is another Glazer sticking plaster and has galvanised even more hatred aimed at this vile family of greed.. although to be fair to Kayako feels it is boring enough to make a coffin warp?.

On a rather different vain a Tevez should have seen Red for the foul On Wes Brown if not for crowd incitement? he called Gary Neville a moron and a boot licker after Neville gave Tevez the ?finger? as he was celebrating his first goal, Wednesday? old Trafford second leg will be a potentially explosive second leg don?t miss ?.

Now Arsenal can Wenger bury the myth once an for all that to be champions you don?t have to spend millions ?I know one Guy on the forum who thinks so and is named after a Girl and can be found supping his favourite Pink sake firework and fruit ensemble while we real Girls get to grips with a manly pint of Belgian Leffe ?Kayoko please take one step forward ..

There is part of me and I love Chelsea who ruthlessly brushed aside Preston in the FA cup, who want to see my late Grandfathers old fashioned principles of developing young players on a the training ground that should and must have a place in the 21st century game ?.has not football always been served better for having a manager like Wenger who has produced a fantastic team without spending tens of millions getting there ?

WAYNE TO SPAIN!! ™ lol

the new campaign real madrid will put all over newspapers infuriating sir alex regarding a probable instigation for united striker wayne rooney..after a 4 goal blitz over hull..this catapulted united over arsenal and chelsea to the top..good for united but more bad..the more he scores the more real are tempted to have him on their front line. vidic as well linked to transfer to spain..not happening you think, but with united's growing debt, a realistic option to barely relieve their issues..you may be sorry for val pips, but im not..its hilarious news!! because of an owner who doesnt know how manage a club united looks to be in the same level of mediocracy with liverpool!! NO!!

stoke just outdone arsenal “ruthlessly brushing aside” the gunners 3-1..wenger opted for the usual youth lineup but mixed first team players as well..jay emmanuel thomas/ frances coquelin on the starting XI for the first time..also the likes of fibreglass and denilson starting as well..looked flat at the start with a trademark rory delap deep throw hitting ricardo fuller's diving head to score with just 70 elapsed in the match..shock filled the club before denilson's strike in the 41st gave hope to the gunners at the brink of halftime..second half wenger uses a rare triple substitution play after sidibe set up fuller for another in the 70th...arsenal looked to take control afterwards, play looked smoother but got caught again as stoke scored in the 82nd to kill an intended comback..hard to swallow but if we can win the league..this match is worth conceding..

i expect wenger to not buy a player..9 players are injured at this time but we've 24 days without any worry so doubt he will..although entering the roughest patch of the season..he just may i wont be surprised..and to reply to your comment pips...i appreciate your bitterness for your fellow rival..i just find pink firework fruit sake better for me than that fake belgian stuff..tastes better and is stronger

Yatta yatta yatta MU on top for a while. Just want to express my emotion . Hahaha even though MU still got problem with the huge debt. If they want to sell talented player , maybe i should change my fav football club

liverpool better have a new manager lined up..maybe veh who recently departed from vfl wolfsburg..rafa benitez refused to comment on his opinion on the juventus job opening..meaning he is interested..so all this talk on things getting better at liverpool? true, things are to get better, but i dont think rafa wants anything to do with it now..let another manager come in and revive the club..he's a manager, not a doctor... right? lol

val wont have to change fave club after all..a BIG sigh of relief as wayne rooney commits fully to manchester united saying he appreciates other big clubs showing interest, but he loves united, calling it home..hoping this would die out talks on his possible move to spain, who are very eager to make the deal..more bad because this means the club will need other ways to settle their debt leading to as my guess, nemanja vidic will be sold for a heavy fee in the summer..

robinho 90% certain he will transfer to his former debut club, santos. after arriving to city on a british record ?32.5million, he has been unable to replicate his great form from previous seasons having been put on departed mark hughes' and roberto mancini's “chopping block”..he has made a dismal 6 appearances this campaign..well with all the 'cuts & scissors' gone, who takes on the trickstar role in england now?

chelsea/arsenal face huge tests wednesday as they face birmingham/aston villa respectively..arsenal beat villa 3-0 the first time at the emirates and look to repeat to take tops in the league unless the blues have anything to say about it..having said that its no walk in the park for chelsea either who are going to need to literally scratch & claw their way i think to beat this scrappy birmingham side who are looking very hard to beat..unbeaten in the last 12 of 13 matches, they look to extend their extraordinary run and fight for europe!?..something unheard of from a newly promoted side..even pips and val would agree on this

Well thats a big relieved Rooney committed 100% loyal to MU.

BIG MATCH between Arsenal VS MU next 31st Jan 2010 . Fergie must think hard what kind of strategy to beat the young gunner plus its on Emirates Stadium. There are lot of hatred there

aston villa 0-0 arsenal
...goal less draw..not the result i wanted but a point is a fair result...chelsea manhandles birmingham in which was supposed to be a good game; turned out too one-sided..lamps double and florent malouda's rare first team appearance ended in a good day..3-0 the final scoreline..so that means:

1). Chelsea P: 22 Pts: 51
2). Manchester United P:23 Pts: 50
3). Arsenal P: 23 Pts: 49

the blues can run away with their cherished game in-hand..sunday as val mentioned..the second clash between arsenal and united..this time at the emirates..i remember the first outing well..gunners looked strong all over the course of the match..then a giggs defence splitting through ball set up a rooney penalty off of a foul on 'keeper almunia..then out of nowhere giggs sets up another: bending cross into the box only to be cleared into our own net by abou diaby..really good header if you see it own goal or not..lol..later, van persie's whipping free kick shakes the bar..then my heart sinks when a van persie equaliser is called off from a gallas offside..2-1 final scoreline...

a little worried this time..rooney is in good form..united as a whole havent been particularly well so we have to take advantage..we need this match to have any sort of confidence heading into the chelsea derby. one point against united isnt enough after drawing with villa..im sweating over this now geez...i was rather confident we'd get results but already looks mediocre..if arsenal can just get maximum points from united and liverpool, i dont care what the chelsea outcome would be... 7 of 12 points is good enough for me..we might slip a bit, but we've a fairly easy road to the finish except a date with city later.

Two more days before the BIG Match i was hoping... well of course MU won no doubt about it. But its pretty hard since its on Emirates Stadium , keep optimistic MU will won....... but a draw game result maybe fair enough.
That also a problem, Chelsea were on peak on the food chain... MU need to do something. Its hard..... its hard , plus Ferdinand not allowed to play in 4 games after he hit Hull player.... another problem... sigh tough one.

arsenal v. manchester united!!

“I always look forward to this match..For me it is always one of the games of the season and so we are really up for it. We are on a good run and we have good momentum. We want to continue that” - Arsene Wenger

arsenal looks to show their 'definition' in their muscles since their loss to chelsea two months ago..since then gunners have been the in-form team achieving 24 points in the last 10 games..united also looked in good shape having obtained 13 points in 5 with dangerman wayne rooney scoring 7 goals..

sol campbell looks to have drawn his first league start and marking duty to the united striker after thomas vermaelen hurt his leg after 35 minutes on wednesday against villa..samir nasri looks to start as well as he's performed well against united in recent games..alex song possible, but fatigue a major issue after hardly getting sleep coming back to london from the african cup of nations..one player guaranteed to play is andrey arshavin..

arshavin's impeccable ability to play BIG in big games is a big reason why arsenal lives for these matches..wenger expects him to deliver a much needed performance in order for arsenal to win..gunners look to exploit united's horrid away record against 'big 4' opponents having only obtained 1 point from possible 18..

“It is our dream to be in this position at this time of the season. Now we know that to be successful in this period we must be more a team than the others. We have to think how strong and how much solidarity it takes to get through a period like this..”

“However no matter what happens after these games we'll still be in a position where we will have a chance but we can put ourselves in a very strong position and that is what we want..The first hurdle demanded a lot of commitment from us and we must be capable to repeat this kind of commitment..” - Arsene Wenger

Wenger and arsenal are ready!! the match to watch..just may be match of the season..
