    Rodney Marsh predicts a scored draw. He also says that he expects Robbie Keane to leave Elland Road over the summer. I have to say that it would be the best thing Keano could do right now... he came to Leeds cos he wasnt getting his game in Italy - now he's getting the same problem.

    Crap, I dreamt United beat Leeds 4-0 last night, and that Liverpool were winning 1-0...

    Yea my dreams are that exciting.

    Btw, for anybody too poor to have SkySports (like me), you can listen to the match here:

    or here:
    http://www.manutd.com/live/default.sps

    Although it'd probably be cheaper to get Sky (boo, hiss, eircon etc).

    I don't think you know who you support Bard?

    Anyway United (and there's only one) have put the pressure on Arsenal & the Pool to deliver this afternoon.

    Can they take the pressure?

    the question is, will Manchester United take the pressure. if, and i think they will, they lose the title they will be blaming Erickson (sp?) and the FA for all the friendlies. boo hoo :o

    Man u have lost too many games to win the league ,only way they will win if is Arsenal fek it up but this is Arsenal they wouldnt do that now would they ?????
    But then Liverpool have yet to be in this position to fek it up before so i think if they are still in it with a really good chance of winning it .

    Eh... there was nothing ambiguous about my statement. I was urging O'Leary's men on to beat Man Utd and effectively end their Premiership title hopes.

    I'm a Leeds fan - that means supporting them through good and bad times.

    Anyway United (and there's only one)

    Man Utd weren't always Man Utd, - they were once "Newton Heath". As far as I'm aware, Leeds United were always Leeds United.

    And NO, there's quite a number of "united"s... but I won't go into it.

    [Man Utd] have put the pressure on Arsenal & the Pool to deliver this afternoon.


    ... and deliver they did, with 2 much more decisive victories than Manchester United were able to manage against a strong Leeds team.

    It was a brilliant match yesterday, with fantastic performances from both teams and some wonderful goals. I have to say that Man Utd deserved the victory overall, but it was a very tense, close-run thing in the end, and the pressure in that game went right down to the final minute of injury time.

    Can they take the pressure?

    B'wahahahaha... pressure, me arse :)

    I still say Arsenal will win the Premiership title this year - and quite comfortably too.

    Did anyone read the review of the Leeds ManUtd game in the Tribune this morning, ha!

    I quote-
    " ...fans of both Liverpool and Arsenal have retained the hope that end of season trips (by Utd) to Eland Road and Stamford Bridge might do thier teams no harm. But the champions destroyed any such notions by dismantling Leeds...with an ease bordering on the insulting...Do not be fooled by the scoreline (!) Man Utd were so superior that one could not help but conclude that the gap between the two sides had widened even furthur this season."

    Tosh of the highest order, any team that scores 4 and conceeds three is no better off than one that scapes a narrow 1-0 win.

    Utds' defence is in tatters (the sooner John O'Shea gets a first team place the better for them), and will be exposed fully
    in the CL game this week.

    Liverpool on the other hand could have had 5 were it not for an acrobatic Dean Kiely, when Charlton never looked likely to score.

    Mike.

    Whoever finishes with the most points at the end of the season will deserve to be crowned champions!!

    But I think this Man Utd team will always be remembered as the flair, exciting, goalscoring team in generations to come.

    Arsenal are getting there but for the Pool, I think they are more like grafters, with little flair but don't give much away.

    mike65 - I think you'll agree that a 4-3 win at Elland Road is probably a better result the 2-0 against Charlton at Anfield?
    Either way its 3points :)

    No I dont! Liverpool won without conceed anything except some possession which they could cope with, Man Utds' problem this season is that if they don't have the ball they are vunerable which is why I dont think they can beat Deportivo.

    Originally by Bard I'm a Leeds fan - that means supporting them through good and bad times.

    I grew up durning the Don Revie era when Leeds where the best team in England and Man Utd were, well pretty poor. That was the 70's then Liverpool were the team of the 80's and Man Utd were, well pretty poor.
    I have always supported United, but never ever have I supported another team no matter who they were playing. I could'nt care less who wins between two teams I don't support.
    Bard you (& many others) on the other hand seem to support every team that plays Man Utd? Strange?

    Utter crap.

    I'm among the first to congratulate Man Utd. when they play a good game. One of my best friends, a colleague of mine in work, is a big Man Utd. fan and I sit with him through most of the games, having a good laugh, and cheering along with him.

    I am anything BUT an "A.B.U."... in fact, I totally disagree with the "A.B.U." mentality.
