I can't wait for tomorrow morning's game between Man Utd and Arsenal.

Despite Chelsea's brilliant form this season, It is still the most eagerly awaited clash in the EPL....and made even more interesting due to the feud between Wenger and Fergie and the seething hatred that both sets of players and fans have towards each other. Both sides will also be battling for 2nd place and the subsequent automatic qualification into next season's Champions League.

My biased opinion: Man Utd to leapfrog Arsenal into 2nd place.

What time's the match one? I can't see it in the Foxtel TV guide.

It'd be cunty if they didnt show this one.

Foxtel is showing it at 7:00 am tomorrow morning.

Man Utd 4- 2 Arsenal. Such a high quality game that lacked neither passion or goals. Victory was made all the sweeter by the fact that my brother supports Arsenal and we now claim 2nd place.

eh

chelsea is the real winner after that match (if they win their match)

I agree...Bergkamp played well all night and his goal was terrific. As a United supporter I enjoyed John O'sheas goal even more though.

as a chelsea supporter i just glad arsenal didnt win, now chelsea will be an extra point clear when they beat blackburn. a draw would have been better, but oh wells.

I honestly don't think that any result is going to stop Chelsea from taking the title this year...they are just too good at the moment.

I hope that evidence is found to suggest that Chelsea "tapped up" Ashley Cole because the FA would be likely to retaliate by stripping them of premiership points. That would be awesome for Man Utd and Arsenal...or even anyone else who hopes to see a tight contest for the premiership this season.

One day Newcastle United will buy Korean players and will win the Premiership.

The FA will only take action if arsenal make an offical compliant which they have done yet, so i i think it is unlikely anythign will happen. But even if chelsea were proven to have spoken to cole the FA would not take points off them, i cant remember the FA ever actually doingit, and i only remember them threatening it for clubs that went belly up. The most chelsea would get is a fine.

But surely the FA would realise that a fine would'nt teach Chelsea anything because they have billions of dollars at their disposal. The purpose of punishment should be to try and prevent a re-occurence of that same event....i believe that a points deduction would be the only way to get through to Chelsea.

 

[RUB!X]

surely Abramovichs ties with the Russian mafia will help the FA in their decision

funny how there were so much hype over gerrard and viera being the best holding mid in the EPL, and roy keane dominated them both in the past fortnight, the old legs and the plastic hip has still got it.
