P.S The reason i said all this about arsenal is to balance out the praise you gave united darren. I cant see united not conceding against arsenal next week if both CB’s are out injured.

As a united supporter i see if the league went the way of chelsea it would be very unjustified. Arsenal and Manchester united have been consistent for most of the season however man utd have been more consistent than arsenal. I find it bemusing that arsenal are 3rd. They should be top or second at least with the way they have performed with such a young squad. Saying this, you can play 38 games well but still lose all 38 and arsenal are suffering from lack of depth in the team. Man utd have a player to cover each position if a player gets injured. The quality may be poor but they have someone there nonetheless. I can see arsenal losing at OT next week but winning at anfield tonight! The depth isnt there for the premier league but the champions league may come to either emirates or OT this season MARK MY WORDS!

I’ve got a horrible feeling that The Chavs will nick it, imagine that? They will be the dullest side to win the league since Howard Wilkinson’s Leeds United.

They have a habbit of winning games when being outplayed. They are so boring that they actually send the opposition to sleep, that’s when they score all their goals.

Chelsea = zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Arsenal have lacked Depth in certain positions and the Cover is just not good enough (Bendtner for Van Persie… Eboue for Rosicky, Denilson for Cesc… The Arsenal First Squad is amazing, but without the Cover that United and Chelsea have, I feel they will never win a trophy unless they reinforce the bench.

United are in great form though, and as a Gooner it also breaks my heart to say it. But the Gunners have given up on the league… An awful display at the weekend shows it the Champions League on Wengers Mind.

Mind you, United took a 2-2 draw at Middlesborough and it was a very very impressive play from Boro’ At one point they almost looked like stealing the game. It will be an interesting week with Ferdie and Vidic out. Don’t write their names on that trophy yet!

As an Arsenal fan it breaks my heart to see United in the form they are in now, and even with Vidic & Ferdinand out, I fully expect them to still beat Arsenal next Sunday.

The difference between the United of this season to last is simple, they have strength in depth. Their bench is full of world class players. I didn’t rate Tevez at West Ham but now I see how much work he puts in, his link up play & vision are superb. Throw in Anderson, Nani, Saha, O’Shea & Hargreaves. They seem to have the correct blend, in experience & youth.

If you compare the United squad to the Arsenal squad you can easily see where the Gunners have gone wrong. Eboue wouldn’t even get into the United reserve team, and yet he plays every game, he is still to score this season which is a disgrace for a right midfielder, especially when when Ronaldo has scored 3 times as many as our whole midfield. Rosicky is a big miss but Wenger chose not to sign any players in January, which I feel was a massive mistake. It’s all well and good having players for the future but you need experience to help them grow.

Anyway, as this article is about United, I for one would be more than happy if they won the league, as long as the Chavs don’t win it, because they are a disgrace to the beautiful game.
