First legs are so dull. The pathetic away goal rule really doesn't have the great effect Uefa think it has.

Huge title deciding spell for Utd coming up, Wigan, Chelsea and Liverpool all away.

I can't see us winning at Chelsea or Liverpool, if we get two draws and win at Wigan it gives us 5 points so if Arsenal win their matches they go three points clear.

When you've played those three games Arsenal will have only played one league game.

You play 5 league games to their 3 until April 2nd.

Personally I think this works in United's favour. I don't think Arsenal have the mentality to capitalise if United drop points. Arsenal also have the Carling Cup Final, the CL game with Barca and the prospect of an FA Cup tie at OT to contend with.

This is where Arsenal's season implodes.

Hope it doesn't personally, would love to see them win either the league or Champions League.

Course you can. C'mon you reds!

The trap game for Arsenal may be away at Stoke towards the end of the season. There is a little rivalry there with the Ramsey incident.

They can have the Carling Cup. After a dull game. Winning on pens.

possibly due a bit of luck against chelsea

goal at the bridge came from the daftest of free kicks given

drogba's offside at old trafford was a horrific decision (not that united deserved anything that day)

Macheda should have got two points for his basket.

It was blatant foul on Cole, no matter what Gary Neville tells you to think.

Anyone see this the other day? The top 10 clubs ranked by retail revenue were: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Olympique Marseille, Manchester United, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Olympique Lyon and Fenerbahce. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/22/20110222/te ... ebf69.html If that's in chronological order, I can't believe we'd be ahead of Bayern and United.
