Hi @kyt. I'm just callin it as I see it. No sugar coating! Don't look at my comments in isolation. Sample the comments below. I don't have right of reply?

"At Arsenal the cheapest season ticket starts at £893, almost enough to buy four equivalent tickets at Blackburn Rovers, while Chelsea – five trophies better off since the Emirates opened its doors in 2006 – charge £560.
At Manchester United, where fans have revolted against the ticket price rises which followed the Glazer family's leveraged buyout of the club, the most expensive match day ticket costs £49."

Why can't you just accept that you couldn't shut out your game after going 2 nil up? What's Rooney not scoring in his first game after injury have anything to do with your loss?Sore loser!!!

Smano, just because Chelsea lost (and Arsenal) doesn't mean that their title ambitions are over. Unlike other teams they can afford to lose a match or two and still top the table.

Taz,any fan worth his salt knows the title race is as tight as can get this season - I was in no way implying that Arsenal's is over...

But I would rather if you had said that Chamakh wasted clear cut opportunities to seal the game (without even talking about Koscielny's missed header from point blank range) than alluding to the fact that Rooney couldn't score on his first game back (he also missed clear ones)against 9 men - that sounded like some very bitter pill.By the way I'll concede that we only played well in the last 10 or so minutes.

As for Chelsea, it's only Ben Foster that kept them out and when he was finally beaten, the upright wasn't. Those days happen. Newcastle look vulnerable at home so I expect Chelsea to make up for the lost points. If Abrahmovich sacks Carlo, then it'll be clear that he never learnt from the Mourinho saga - I am a firm believer that Chelsea would have won the CL by now had he stayed.

Next up Villa for Arsenal, could be a tough one but Villa are inconsistent and Arsenal have been picking all 3 away. Blackburn are tough but we'll be at home and Giggs`should be back for that fixture - those are the games that require all the experience one has

All the top 3 will be having CL games tomorrow and Wed - this normally has a bearing on weekend games. Spurs should be especially careful as they meet the Reds on Sunday.

Question....Whats the difference between Aseno and Man U?

Answer.....When Man U are leading 2-0, they can draw the match. However, when Aseno are 2-0 up, they can only lose it since they hate draws!!!

@smano....sinda iko wapi? tuliteleza mara ya pili. And note we are still the leaders. Tell me of any other team in the PL that can afford 3 losses in a low and still be at the apex?? We will start winning again and soon mtaona mataa ya nyuma tuu!!

Mkenya,
Lamps might be out for a while and Ancelotti might be bringing Roma defender Mexes as a stand in.

No injury or illness. SAF confirmed that he just decided to leave him out. Macheda and Obertan changed the game against Aston Villa and were therefore rewarded with a start. Rooney needed time on the pitch and hence his position on the bench. Rooney will definitely start against Rangers in the CL and Berbatov might also return either in the first 11 or on the bench.

Having said that, I think it's a good thing SAF can afford to totally leave out Berbatov. And I don't know what people want. Either they are claiming Man - U is over relying on a certain player - then all over sudden they are wondering why a certain player didn't even make the bench i.e. he was not relied on at all. Sasa mnataka nini?

are you for real? seriously, what is up with the arse's fans? the pain of losing is so much you cant do simple math? its 2 points!! 2 points behind unbeaten Man U. had you loved the draws you love to hate, it would have been one point.
