I also think it's very short sighted on Chelski to part with their manager.

Totally agree.......now I know that there isn't a great deal of class knocking around the EPL but the total lack of it at Chelsea amazes me.......they have ridded themselves of at least 3 of the worlds great managers in the last 10 years and allowed a small group of egotistical low class thugs call the shots from within their team.....

You never post anything approaching constructive on this thread just cheap jibes. I really don't know why you bother.

Well my lot didn't get much luck today either. A point's a point though and with Liverpool losing the Toon is 5 clear of seventh. Only 9 more matches now.

<we'll lose 'em all>

Someone could well end Man Utds title aspirations in the near future but the chances of Spurs being the team to do it always looked pretty remote.

I prefer to let the team do the talking. There again if I had said earlier in the week that Utd would win then all the ABU's would be calling me a typical arrogant Manure fan.
If Utd played bad today and still won away 3-1 to the 3rd placed team then Id be hating them to hit form.

No you don't. Check back on your posts and their tone. Always mocking, always the attempted jibes. Just food for thought.

Yeah some soft defending and lapses in concentration cost them dear today.

I don't know how Fergie does it but it doesn't seem to matter who he puts in the Manchester United team the discipline in their defending is nearly always spot on.

Good thing Chelsea lost or there would be alot more heat on Tottenham.

A relatively easy run in now so I still fancy 3rd spot.

I disagree that United played badly. That is their typical away performance. Sitting deep absorbing pressure and punishing teams when they make mistakes. Sensible way to play although they were aided today by some sloppy defending.

Tottenham may well have to trade some of the entertaining and pretty football for some steel if they ever want to progress higher up the table. I'm not sure I want that as I've really enjoyed the games this season but the defending needs to improve.
