Freakin' brilliant score!!

Scholesy scoring on his 500th appearance for United.

Gerrard had a rather bad game by his standards.

Gotta disagree, Laura.

Arsenal play by far the most skilful football in the Prem, but they do lack ruthlessness, which could be their downfall.

And as for them needing you to drop points - not true. If Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal all get the same results from here on in, Arsenal just need to win their games against you and Chelsea and they have the title.

Presuming they win their game in hand (not a big if, considering they've won their last 5 in a row), then they're only 2 points behind you.

I like the look of Man U and Arsenal this year.

I'm not denying that they have skill. They are(I really hate saying this) nice to watch because of the skilful players. You have to be hungry for goals, and you have to have the passion. I'm not seeing the hunger. They have scored 15 goals this season - Most of them have been due to skill, or pretty good strikes. They don't 'steal' goals, they don't have 'lucky' goals. That could be a good thing, but still.

They are five points behind United and Chelsea. May not seem like many at this stage, but that could be crutial later on. I think goal difference may play a major part in this season and the race for the title.

If Arsenal beat us(again), then we would have dropped points. If Arsenal beat Chelsea, then Chelsea would have dropped points.
See what I mean?

OK, I see what you mean, but that's not what I'd consider dropping points, really.

Also, five points behind is true, but misleading, because you've played one more game than them.

If they win their game in hand (and they will) and you lose at their gaff (could go either way), then they are ahead of you, all other results notwithstanding. Same goes for Chelsea.

It's tight, and I reckon Chelsea look comparatively ordinary this season.

I agree with you, though - Arsenal don't get lucky or ugly goals, and I see that as a weakness.

There are a few teams both chelsea and United have to look out for.
Bolton, Middlesborough, man city, and blackburn.
Bolton are doing very well this season.
M'boro, city and Bburn are rubbish against the..not so great teams, and then brilliant against the likes of Chelsea. Like M'boro beat chelsea already this season(oh how I loved that)
Those are the games that both teams will possibly lose points against. They are weird teams!

Chelsea look ordinary because they aren't running away with the league. And everybody is getting bored of them already.

Not getting 'ugly' goals is a bad weakness to have. Scholesy's goal against L'pool? Completely ugly. In the nicest possible way, of course. United can score ugly goals, as can chelsea. And L'pool.
Arsenal? Nope.
