Man U were lucky to get a point in the end

The 2nd goal was definitely off side that Van Persie scored and Diame 2nd for the Hammers was an absolute screamer

Now that we are close to full strength we are proving a tough nut to beat

Hoping the club can come to terms with Big Sam and find another world class striker to assist up front
 
Certainly tested by the Hammers Happy. Only need to win two more games to raise the trophy for certain. Hopefully that's two rounds time at the Emirates.

Your thoughts on the last goal CB ??
 
Coingratulations to Man U fans on winning the EPL title

Look I don't want to harp on this , but is it a good thing that Man U have won the title with 4 games to spare ??

No, it is entirely selfish of Man U to continually try to beat other teams. They should have eased up for a few games and let the rest of the field catch up, then made it an interesting finish to the season. It isn't like they are playing for much after all.

Did anyone complain about this in 04-05 when Chelsea had it in the bag with four games to go?

Of course not. That wasn't big bad Man U winning the title though.

Man U winning anything, ever, is never a good thing.

That is all.

So Suarez is a racist, a European handballer and now a biter. How much lower can he sink Chris? :laughing:

Don't think it's possible for Suarez to fail humanity any further.

All he needs to do now is play for United and he'll be below all of the above you mentioned.

Bayern win 4-0 with only 34% possession according to ESPN.
I'm yet to watch the match but that's an unbelieveable stat.

Most of Barca's possession was in their own half between their back 4 and Valdez,

As evidenced by the Shots at goal

Bayern: 13 (9 on target)
Barca: 4 (2 on target)

Incredible high pressing by bayern (and robben did amazing defensive work as well)

btw Valdez is the Tim Moltzen of world football.

I started watching from the start of the 2nd 1/2 & there is no way Bayern had 34% of possesion
They are a class act & the balance of power in europe is now definitely in the bundesliga

Seems to happen to Barca a bit doesn't it? AC Milan beat them 2-0 with only 27% of possession. Just goes to show a high possession game doesn't equate to a win… Or a goal even.

Not possible. He already plays for Liverpool and that's only one rung above Hitler.
