and we expect to win this year's premier? don't kid yourselves..

we were nowhere near arsenals quality on the day but we have better players than arsenal,and if we hit the right form soon we will be well able to beat them to the title.

They couldnt beat us and they played wonderful football,while we played nowhere near to our full potential...we have a good enough squad to win the premiership and if we can get torres back for a few games in a row,he would make of any defense in the world.

Gerrard only getting going now,Alonso hasnt had a proper run in the side since the start of the season(when we played well{6-0 Derby}{Chelsea 1-1}) and agger  should be back soon!

We are well able to win the league!We have to players and we know they can click,after the chelsea game we started to up...players got injured and the football got ! Torres got a hattrick and then he got injured...

So You cant say that just because arsenal were better than us last week means that we will not win the league!! we are better man-man than arsenal and we need to get the form going again and we can win the league!!

Better man to man than Arsenal?  I aint certain about that at all.

Reina beats Almunia
Sagna beats Finnan
Cliche beats Riise
Toure beats Agger
Carra beats Gallas
Hleb beats Pennant or Yossi
Rosicky beats Kewell or Babel
Fabregas beats Alonso
Gerrard beats Flameni
Van Persie beats Kuyt or crouch or Vorinin
Torres beat Adebayor or Walcott

Its not about Arsenal being better last week.  Its about Arsenal, Utd and even chelsea looking more cohesive, fluid and dangerous than us.  Attacking wise we look no better than a mid table side at the moment.  Granted it must get better but we are never going to be an expansive side which plays open attacking football under Rafa. Defense and the aim of not conceding will always come first.

I have to refer back to this comment, which ironically was made exactly 24 hours before we absolutely caned Besiktas 8-0.

I accept Arsenal when they turn it on are a class act, a notch or two up from where we are. They proved that in patches at Anfield. But Man U (and I fly in the face of public opinion here I am aware of that) do not inspire me football-wise. Their success, even going back to the mid 90's, is based on pace. I accept that Ronaldo and Rooney (and Giggs in the past) have won them games. They way they get from defence to attack in seconds and get bodies in the box, is admirable. But I'll tell you this, the likes of Scholes, Carrick and Hargreaves could not have controlled that midfield like we did the on Tuesday night and supported the strikers. We play a different game to Man U - we are more deliberate (although that is changing) but we play the better football.

I aint sure about that.  I see a lot more little one-two's, triangles etc and the ability to move the ball quickly at pace in the Man Utd side.  Not to mention players beating players with trickery and flair.

i think united are reliant on a few key players these days though.
in the 90`s ferguson had such a team he used to bring in the likes of mcclair and jordi cruyff but the just seemed to play the exact same as they did when they had their best 11 on the park.
these days, as we saw earlier in the season when they struggled like fook when ronaldo was banned and rooney injured, they cant afford injuries to key players and still roll on anymore.
granted, they still had some decent wins in that period but they were by the skin of their teeth, spurs totally outplayed them at old trafford and were unlucky not to get 2 pens.
