He wont understand. We've all tried in vain.

@Jus Blazin....I understand what @Mwenza is talking about on matches not won but lazima pia mimi nimpatie my side of facts....wewe ndio sielewi unataka kusema nini! Why can't you explain it yourself....

Ok. Let me explain to you. Even your coach will tell you that, with United leading by 7 points, another draw will not do you justice. You have to win your matches while hoping United lose theirs. As long as United are equaling or bettering (is there such a word?)Chelsea and Arsenal, the title will be ours.

Having said that, suppose United win their next two matches, and Arsenal win one but draw the other, United will be 9 points clear, with 5 games to go, albeit having played a game more. And you dont expect United to lose such a grip if that happened, now would you?

A draw does you more injustice than it does United. Umepata sasa? You have to hope United is worse off when you guys are better off. You have to hope United lose points, BUT, mtasaidika tu if you gain 3 points.

Combine what I've said with McReggae's assessment on the same.

Umeelewa? And btw, your next matches till the end of the season, bar Spurs game, will all be played on Sundays, hence, as per your coach, you will be playing catch up. Which does not help your team, thus says Arsene...

To give it will. Thing is, Arsenal has to win. The recent slump is not helping. United may lose points, we dont refute that, but what will it benefit Arsenal if they also lose points? The gap has been increasing in the last few games, now you cant afford any more slip up. That's why we say, any more slip ups and forget the title.

That Utd managed to lose 2 consecutive matches and still consolidate their lead at the top is reason enough for me to say that Man Utd is home and dry.IF(a big if) it happens again expect the same, Utd at the top!

So much has been said...the thing I love about my team is that even if we struggle against teams like Blackpool, West ham and all the rest, at the end of the day it is 3 precious points! That, my friend, is what matters....all the rest is innuendo.

For me it will be critical to exact a small measure of revenge on Chelsea in the CL but more importantly get the 19th trophy...both happening will be enough for me...I, like Ferguson, will be content with one cup (for me the 19th title will do it, CL will be a bonus if we fail to win the league, and the FA will be a consolation if we fail to win any of the other 2...2 cups and I'll be in heaven, 3 and you'll never hear the end of it)

Taz, I have to give it to you with regard to your fervent support for your beloved Arsenal.

The stark reality however is that things are not so rosy for the Gunners and right now hope is all you can cling on.

You predicted surprises but I am sure drawing with 10 man Blackburn at the Emirates was not one of the ones you had in mind.

As for Man U losing at the Emirates, if it does happen, well, it's not the first time it's happened, is it? Yet Man U has gone ahead to lift the title.

siku hizi sisemi kitu.....

Matumaini yetu in CL only.... hio ingine ni Mungu saidia wapinzani waanguke...

@Taz, actually its the other way round. The only way Arsenal can win the title this year is if Man United drop more points. I now understand how Mutua operates...

.........so so so refreshing from somebody who is not a regular contributor.


Another interesting statistic is that before last weekend, blackburn had not earned a single point away from home in 2011.

For the entire season, Blackburn had not hitherto kept a clean sheet outside Ewood Park. Habari ndio hiyo.
