They missed a penalty too. Oh well, at least only a draw, City can still go down

can but sadly wont- surely it will be: Ports, Leices, Wolves?

LOL Robbie 'sour grapes' Savage was just doing what Alex 'even sourer grapes' Ferguson usually does, i.e. try to ruffle the opposition before the match kicks off.

He's still right though, or Man U wouldn't be so far behind Arsenal in the league!

Always an excuse, I thought it might have been Ferdinand's absence So you'll state right here right now that Man U will regain the league next season?

We were winnin be4 he got banned. And yep UNited will regain it next season.

I think you're going to need a new central midfielder first. All you've really got is Scholes, Keane and Djemba-Djemba (maybe) and Keane ain't getting any younger. A new defender to step in for Rio until his ban's expired and when he's injured would also be useful, considering how much you've missed him lately.

If you say so

Cobblers! Three words: not good enough.

In central midfield we have Keane, Butt, Neville, Fletcher, Djemba, and Liam Miller will join us next season (I'm saying Scholes is attacking midfield here). I think we need an actual left back to be honest, O'Shea and Silvestre would be unhappy playing there and it would free them both up to replace Rio until his ban.

Butt and Neville aren't strong enough for a title contending team, Fletcher and Miller are still too young and not yet proven. It's all very well saying you've got plenty of players, but it's another thing entirely to say whether they're good enough or not. I think the same is actualy true for Arsenal, they look a different team when Vieira's out, but the fact that Henry does so much on the provision front makes up for this.

Fletcher and Miller have yet got time to become strong enough players. As do Butt and Neville but to a lesser extent. They have experience at all levels too. They're not quite Roy Keane of course but they say Miller can be.

What I'm saying is next season they won't, hence you need a CM of proven quality and experience. Who that could be though I don't know. I think selling Veron and Beckham at the same time was a mistake, especially when it looked like Veron had finally grown into to the team and this season could have been his.

i bet united are regretting a) selling beckham b) not getting ronaldinho

Ronaldinho, why didnt we get him .

because he wanted to go to Barca
