Now that's funny.

I don't understand this assertion.  Mancscum are going to win the EPL (most likely), are in the semi-finals of the FA cup (with a Tevez-less and deflated bunch of mercenaries up next and an easy final opponent in prospect) and are in the CL semi too.  HOW are they standing still or going backward?  How?  I hate Utd (obviously) but I've been hearing this "Utd are standing still, they haven't freshened up their ranks bull for a while this year and it's such a load of nonsense.  They have quality young players just approaching their best like that Hernandez fella and that cheat soft-lad, Nani.  They'll also buy big this summer.  A new keeper on the way.  Probably a top striker too.

Anyway, the gaem.  Tough to call this because we could come out and play like last Monday or like the match against West Ham.  I'd agree with you on one thing - 1-1 looks a bet.  suarez to score.

So in reality, I think they have gotten a bit worse.  Look at their away form this season, it's been pretty bad.  They are getting more calls helping them out this year than ever before.  The simple thing is that their squad is getting older.  They're losing 3 of their best players soon in VDS, Scholes and Giggs.  Ferdinand is getting old too, and full of injuries.  Rooney is getting older and did find his form again in recent weeks, but I don't think he's happy with the club.  To be honest I think he only cares about himself.  Nani has started to play really well and Hernandez was a great signing, Rafael may turn into a good player if he stops with the stupid tackles, but other than those 3 there hasn't really been improvement.  Sure you could say berbagay has scored a lot, but really he just took all the poacher goals that rooney had last year.  I don't rate Valencia. You put an average player on one of the best teams and they will look good 19 times out of 20.

They claim every summer that they are going on some big spending spree to reinforce the squad, but they never do.  They end up spending 20 million on some random young players and maybe get 1 good one.

So soon they will lose Giggs, VDS, Scholes and Ferdinand.  I think Rooney wants to leave to tell you the truth, and I could see madrid snatching him up.  He really doesn't care about manure, he just wants the fame and money.  Once the team starts falling apart like that I could see Vidic leaving too, and Nani thinks he's as good as Ronaldo, so he's going to want to play for madrid sooner or later.  Berbagay is old too, Carrick, Fletcher, Park, they are all older players.  It's going to be little Hernandez by himself in a few years!

And the Glazers suck.  THey aren't good owners because they are going to drain the club for all that it's worth and then sell it.  Once they have sold many of these players, they will back out and let somebody else deal with it.


Anyway, Arsenal game..   We basically play to standard in every big game, so I'm expecting a good one.  If our strikers can take advantage of their problems, We will come out winners.

Since when did transfer activity mean your playing badly. They'll probably win the title this season so they haven't done that badly.

Wake up and smell the coffee. United as much as we hate them know how to win. Even when they play badly.

Note: Owen has played 43 times for Man Utd and scored 13 goals (4 PL, 1 FAC, 4 LC, 4 CL). I actually don't think that is a bad return for a sub.

I said nothing about their transfer activity affecting their current form, I'm saying that the last couple years they have been on the down.  Didn't win the prem last year and they have been given the prem this year due to horribly inconsistent results from Arsenal and Chelsea, as well as an increase in decisions heading their way.

Note: Owen has scored 4 goals in 26 prem games, and that's pretty horrible.  1 in the FA cup was against Crawley... that's the type of team he scores against.  I don't even know you SCS and I'm confident you could score against Crawley 

Other goals in the champions league have came against wolfsburg (3) and CKSA Moscow.  He scored against Burnley in the LC, and Aston Villa.  Not to mention, I've seen most of his manure goals and they are ultimate tap-ins, like it doesn't get anymore like berbatov then Owen's goals for manure.

N'gog has 5 goals in 11 games in europe this season... that sure as hell doesn't make him good.  He even scored against Arsenal in the prem.

My point is, you really should only look at the prem goals because that's where you get the most consistent competition.
