Yeah, but Torres has managed to be a bigger homer than Henry Ever was, ratio wise.

“1-0 to the Chelsea” – Mischievous Wigan fans attempt to put United off stride in the first half with incorrect score.

You're all dicks

Man Utd deserved the title but the way they won today was typical of their season. Wigan should have had a penalty, Scholes should have been sent off, but give Wigan a penalty and send Scholes off they still would have won.

Let's see if they can do it without any help next season. They probably can, so let them try

That is soft! Wouldn't have been given to Wigan. Refs do Utd a favour, what a surprise.

I guess people will question the penalty Wigan could of had and Scholes being sent off, without mentioning the penalty Scholes should have been given.

The penalty on Rooney though?!

Was you all swayed by Andy Gray saying 'oooh!! Controversial'. It was a complete stone waller, he got nothing of the ball and was at almost knee height on Rooney.

If Scholes is sent off, there is no him being brought down in the box.

it's his safety valve, and main excuse, to protect him from mass criticism .

Arsenal fans for the most part have been deluded, or maybe Wenger has just got them hypnotised.

Spurs fans wish they could be so deluded. Top 4 finish every year and a smattering of cups and titles. There are plenty of worse managers out there.

False, because they have

Opinion not fact.

Roger Hunt wrote:Well that presupposes that

1) we won't win anything, and
2) Benitez won't be sacked anyway if DIC take over.

I reckon that Benitez could still survive with no trophy next season if he got us to 85+ points, that would be a clear improvement.

In any case - my main object was just to pedantically point out that shouting FACT after an opinion does not in fact make it a fact. If you see what I mean.

To be fair the average age of team for the Sunderland game was only 22.3.
