Arsenal is just a form based team! One moment they can be playing like title contender, the next game they behave like mid table no hopers! I think they really need workhorse type of player like Roy Keane to inject in some consistency in their game!

I know Man Utd title hopes are getting slimmer, but we fans have to keep our faith! Anything can happen in EPL! A win over leeds can greatly boost their morale! Remember the year they won the Treble? The EPL is tight too with Arsenal but Man Utd pulls through! Fergi hasn't throw in the white towel yet! So we Man Utd manics will not too. Miracle do happens........ Lets keep our finger cross!

Reiziger bound for Old Trafford?

Dutch international defender Michael Reiziger is reported to be on the verge of signing for Manchester United.

The 28-year-old, currently at Barcelona is quoted in the News of the World as saying the deal wil be completed "in the next few weeks."

"I have played for Ajax, AC Milan and Barcelona, three of the greatest clubs in Europe," he said.

"But now I'm going to the greatest club in the world, Manchester United. It's a matter of time."

Barcelona are said to want £6m for the right-back but Man Utd have so far only offered £5m.

"Barcelona will co-operate because they understand my problem," Reiziger said.

"It will all be okay in a few weeks and I'm sure that I will be playing next year with Ruud van Nistelrooy and I'm really looking forward to that."

The Dutchman is being kept out of the Barcelona side by Spanish international Carles Puyol.

That maybe a good signing coz Michael Reiziger is a player with good touches and crosses, looks like Gary Neville is looking to warm the bench!

Nesta's recent performance is bad.
He didnt perform in the England vs Italy match as well.
I believe if Man Utd were to buy him, it'll be very expensive.
Reiziger sounds much better($ wise).
He can always bring gary to the middle. :D

Deportivo V.s Man Utd. Can Man Utd finally win this hot team?

[nukeListener]

definitely hope so.....at least 1 - nil to Man U

[Kiwi8]

Prediction: Deportivo 1 Manchester United 1

[Devilboy]

My prediction is Deportivo 1-3 Man Utd. Man Utd EPL title hope is as good as over but they can still bet on the Champion League! No doubt Deportivo is a strong attcking team but Man Utd has a greater dersire to overcome them! As long as Giggs is constantly tearing down the left flank and Solksjear netting those shots and Van Nisterooy cashing in those crosses from Beckham. They are capable of destroying any team that comes in their way!

[stam]

I WILL BE WATCHING TONITE!! anyone else? UNITED ROX!

[Shingoz]

I'll be watching too.
Anyway i thought Deport is good for it's defense too?

[Shingoz]

Super performance by man utd !!!
Bathez making great saves.....
LEading 2-0 @ half time...but keane out injured. :dead:

[Devilboy]

Deportivo 0-2 Man Utd
David Beckham 15min
Van Nisterooy 41min
Roy Keane injured his knee on the 43min

Deportivo starts of with fast pace attacking play, quick counters. Man Utd plays excellent zonal defence and man marked Diego Tristan. 15min, David Beckham superb strike from outside penalty box left Deportivo Goalkeeper Molina stranded. Deportivo started to lose concentrations but Man Utd fails to bank in more goals. Man Utd defence suddenly turned very tight, Deportivo's lone striker Tristan had a couple of good chances to equalize but was clear off by the stubborn defence and also a very good displays of saves from Barthez. Came 41min, Silvestre sent in a low cross inside the penalty box and Van Nisterooy side steps to cash in and earn him the highest goal scorer in the Champions League campaign. But a 50-50 challenge in the 43 min saw Keane injured his knee and was carried off the field! Fortune came in and nearly get himself a goal. The match then goes into halftime.

good holding play by united in the second half

giggs should have made it 3-0......

solid goalkeeping by barthez......

pity about keane and beckham.....

:bounce:

[Devilboy]

Full Time:
Deportivo 0-2 Man Utd
15min Beckham
41min Van Nisterooy
43min Roy Keane injured knee
93min Beckham injured left ankle

Deportivo continue their fierce attacking play with wild shots on goals! At least 5-6 shots on the first 15 mins. But those shot were just too easy for barthez as he calmly collects thems like a garbage collector. Giggs electrifying pace has cause too much problems for the Deportivo defence, he got 2 chances to bring Man Utd closer to the semi-final but his trademark poor finishing fail him badly despites the excellent runs. Deportivo bringing in Djaminha and Makaay, a desperate attempt trying to reverse the situations but Man Utd "unusual" rough defending proves too much for Deportivo's 3 strikers. There were almost 15 shots(almost all on target) but were straight into Barthez's arms. In th 93min, Diego Tristan made a reckless tackle on Beckham left ankle, from the looks of it, Beckham may have fracured it or at least badly sprained his left ankle. He was being stretched off the field with Phil Neville coming in. Man Utd goes back to Old Trafford with 2 goals and a smiley face spotted on Alex Ferguson. But the next match in EPL is going to be tough with Keane and Beckham injured. Anyway! Glory Glory Man Utd!!!

I am really really impressed by Man Utd's performance today. Great attacking and excellent defending! One of the best form I have seen this season.

i wondered how the referee got his job??:mad: even all the commentator say the referee had poor decisions...

should be a penalty never give penalty...
should give free kick never give...
should not give free kick he give....
should not give yellow card he give...
should be a RED CARD give YELLOW CARD...


wtf is he doing man??!?!

LA CORUNA, Spain, April 2 (AFP) - Manchester United's Roy Keane, stretchered off in the Champions League match against Deportivo La Coruna on Tuesday, could be out till May.

Keane hurt his hamstring in their quarter-final, first leg in Spain in a tackle with Sergio in the first half.

Glory Glory, Man U !!!!

See whether Deportivo still want to talk so much rubbish before the next game ahahahah =p . Barthez was faultless last nite, so too were Blanc and Johnson.

[aFTerLiF3]

I wonder who will play in our mid-field next week..

Veron (if he recover in time)
Butt
Giggs
Fortune/P.Neville ?

I think fergie might play 4-4-2 , no chance for 4-5-1 since we lack players in midfield..

I hope Beck's injury is not serious...

[ifiron]

Acutally come to think of it can still play 4-4-1-1

DL - Slivestre
DC - Gary Neville
DC - Blanc
DR - Philip Neville

ML - Veron
MC - Ronny Johnson
MC - Nicky Butt
MR - Luke Chadwick

FC - Giggs
FC - Veron

Chadwick is injured. That explains why we havent seen him for a long time. I think midfield will be giggs, butt, scholes and maybe fortune if veron is still out.

This is one of the worst make shift team he featured for an EPL match man. (Not inlcuding those from the bench)

I thought it would better to feature first team regulars...score afew goals in the first half then sub them all out. Anyway a win is a win, all three points.

I think this match 's outcome will be determine by a player(Veron) performance! Frankly speaking, those who "really" watch the way Veron plays will know how classy he is! His through passes are simply amazing, it is just that Man Utd strikers sometimes not alert enough to react!
Roy Keane, without the shadow of a doubt, is the engine of Man Utd, but if Veron performs, he is the fuel of Man Utd.

I dun think it depends on veron alone. So far, he turns on performances for argentine only.Only argentine players can click with him, come the world cup u will see.
Even when he is in lazio, he sometimes disappears from his game. DUn expect him too much. I believe tonight manu will comcentrate on keeping the ball more. They will rely on counterattack more. I believe ferguson shd be looking at 0-0 scoreline.

Yes, I do agree with you that Veron performs much better for his country than his club. This season, critics have been harsh on him, wanting instant result from him! But please understand, when playing for Argentina, he was given a free role, meaning he can roam everywhere he likes, but in Man Utd, his role is structure and there isn't much room for him to do! But no doubt about it that his passes and touch are a class above the rest! Without Roy Keane and Paul Scholes in this match, againist Deportivo, he will more likely be able to express his capabilities! I believe in him and also Alex Ferguson judgement in purchasing him.
The difference between a superstar and a workhouse is: In soccer, superstar will bring his team forward during crucial matches and workhouse will consistantly asist the superstar in his work! In my point of View, Veron is a superstar! Tonight will be his night, I am damn sure he will perform!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Somemore keane and mayb beckham out....make man utd look damm weak....

Hope tht veron peaks now and prove all critics wrong..
If he peaks...he can destroy any team....

[Shingoz]

How's the injury?
I was told from another forum that he suffer a broken bone somewhere?!?!!

Latest article i got from manutd website.


United strode into the semi-finals of the European Cup with a majestic performance against Deportivo la Coruna on Wednesday night. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer grabbed a brace and Ryan Giggs scored a cracker as the Spaniards, reduced to nine men, were beaten 3-2 - 5-2 on aggregate. The only blight on the evening were first-half injuries to David Beckham and Ronny Johnsen.

[Pr0t0type]

But United's victory was again tarnished by an injury to David Beckham, with the England captain suffering a broken bone in his foot.

An estimated eight-week absence will almost certainly rule him out of the remainder of the Reds' Premiership and European campaigns, and puts his World Cup participation in jeapordy.

See on the bright side guys! Veron finally proved his worth! The "Witch" finally does his magic! One man downfall may result another man's new era! I believe Beckham will return for World Cup for England! For the rest of the season, Veron will carry Man Utd forward! Giggs will produce his wizard run on the left! Paul Scholes will carry on his new-found fine form and Solskjear & Nisterooy will continue their remarkable scoring spree! Fear not gentlemen, Man Utd always pulls through when times are bad. It is not the first time Man Utd face with injuries!

Now that Veron is back and Beckham is out. It will be interesting to see Veron's own brand of freekicks and set pieces!

Actually he's kinda poor thing ah..always 2nd choice since his early playing days...both for club and for country....
He's stayed in man utd(bench) for most of his seasons.
Actually he's quite good, Fergie has been saying he's sometime guilty having to leave him out of matches.
Coz man utd's midfield is really too strong.
No space for him to squeeze in unless there's any injury.

[Devilboy]

Butt is a quality player! I think he is beginning to be like Solskjear. Sits quietly, observe the game well and produce results when being field! Everyone wants to be in the first team, but sometimes being on the bench and produce surprising result when needed matters alot too! Just like Solskjear, score critical goals when needed! He has been Man Utd most important sub! Without him, Man Utd may not even progress that far! Butt too has contribute to Man Utd games but not as much flair as the 1st team midfield! He is good!

[ralliart_ray]

i hope beck will recover in time 4 WC.
*pray*:angel:

[joecan]

After watching the game , I think Manu should do ok with Fortune on the left, Scholes and Butt (or Veron if he decides to perform again) in the centre and Giggs part time on the right and running all over the place for the rest of the time.

Beckham can create chances for other players but I think Giggs' goal has proven that he can create chances for himself, it's going to be a different kind of problem for opposing teams....

The problem with giggs is that i think he cant shoot.
Most of the time his shots are either too weak or out of target...

True True, It is a known fact that Giggs has great pace/movment but he lacks in finishing. But when he does get his shots right, there is no stopping them.

fear not! We will pull through! Last wednesday, I predicted Veron will be the key man for the match and he never failed me! For the rest of the season, Veron will make every SOB who bad-mouthed him keep their lips together! I say again! He will make every penny Man Utd paid for him worthwhile while the another teams just drool and dream on having such a player in their team! HaHaHa:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[kengbeng]

Oh well...another injury AGAIN...

http://uk.sports.yahoo.com/020416/21/cwu4j.html

Barthez crocked in France training

Manchester United's injury curse has struck again with the news that Fabien Barthez has sustained a knee injury while training with France.

The World Cup and Euro 2000-winning keeper limped out of training clutching his right knee after a collision with full-back Bixente Lizarazu.

The French team's medical staff confirmed that Barthez has twisted the knee and is regarded as doubtful for the friendly with Russia at Stade de France tomorrow.

The news from Paris will come as another blow to United boss Sir Alex Ferguson as his team chase Arsenal in the race for the Premiership title and prepare for Saturday's crucial clash with Chelsea.

Ferguson is already without David Beckham, Juan Sebastian Veron, Ronny Johnsen and Roy Keane for the trip to Stamford Bridge and Barthez's injury will increase his fears that other players could be added to that list after tomorrow's internationals.

England skipper Beckham is almost a week into treatment on the broken bone in his foot. Johnsen has a mild hamstring problem but will return before the end of the season, as will Keane who returned to light training yesterday after his own hamstring injury.

Veron, who has withdrawn from Argentina's squad because of a sore Achilles tendon, is expected to be fit for the first leg of next week's Champions League semi-final against Bayer Leverkusen but is unlikely to be risked at Stamford Bridge.

Devilboy, I don't quite agree about Veron. I just feel that everytime Veron doesn't play, ManU's game seems to be more flowing. His presence seems to be a show stopper for the Mid Field, every ball got to go thru him, and he seems to hold on to the ball forever, yes he made a defence splitting pass to Ole in the CL, but that seems to be the only moment of brilliance that I could remember about him for the whole season. Right now ManU got no choice due to so many injuries, but I think Fortune-Scholes-Butt-Giggs mid field should do ok.


I do agree with ralliart_ray about the defenders. ManU is in need of some good defenders and the only person who don't seems to agree in Sir Alex.

I do have a feeling that ManU's defence will go thru a major revamp next season, it's becoming too preditable, just aim the ball at Gary Neville and you probably have a chance to score. with Blanc and Dennis Irwin retiring they now only have the 2 Nevilles, Johnson (part time because always injured), Silvestre, Brown and O'Shea I think another 2 will probably be signed because knowing Sir Alex style, he always have 2 full teams of ManU on standby

Veron is a different type/class of player in Man Utd squad, I agree! He did not create as much hype as he is supposed to, I agree also! But he is getting it and starting to gel with the team! He do play badly throughout most of the whole season because of the way Man Utd is playing! He is the kind of Central Midfielders that attracts defenders like bees and out of a sudden, he will unleash a spectacular pass or cross to his attackers and sometimes unleash powerful shots that leaves opposition goalkeepers stranded! He played much better for Lazio and Argentina is because the team Managers allow him to play free role, a position he excels most! Saw the last match againist Deportivo? Without Keane and Beckham, he run all around the field and provide defence spilting passes that caught the Deportivo defenders off guard! He is definately a player of class and quality! Just that in Man Utd, he is very much restricted due to Keane and Beckham presence! But he is starting to play well with them, hope he stays in Man Utd, he will definately be very much better next season!

Looks like Man Utd got a tough week ahead! Facing Cheslea this Saturday and Bayer Leverkusen 4 days later! This is the most crucial part of the season for Man Utd! They have to win both matches to keep their hopes floats!

[Devilboy]

But the problem is that Fergie may have to rest Veron for ECL, coz his ankle isn't well! This week againist Chelsea is gonna be tough!

[Devilboy]

Starting line up for this week maybe:

Goalkeeper: Roy Carrol
Defenders: Silvestre, Blanc, Brown & Gary Neville
Midfielders: Giggs, Scholes, Butt and Fortune/Phil Neville
Strikers: Nisterooy and Solskjear

Midfield looks abit weak. But the rest is still OK! Should be able to pull a victory againist Chelsea

Roy Keane is on course to make a shock comeback in time for the second leg of Manchester United's Champions League semi- final in Germany in 11 days.

Injured: Keane at Deportivo

The Manchester United captain was expected to struggle to be fit for the Champions League Final on May 15 after tearing a hamstring against Deportivo La Coruna little more than a fortnight ago.

But Soccernet understands that Keane is making better progress than expected in his recovery, and is increasingly confident that he could be ready if needed in an emergency when United fly to Bayer Leverkusen a week on Monday.

But Arsenal objected to the switch as it would have left Arsene Wenger's team just two days to recover from the FA Cup Final against Chelsea before visiting Old Trafford.

Ferguson, planning for the scenario in which his side overcome Bayer Leverkusen to reach the Champions League Final in Glasgow, faces the prospect of playing three games in eight days, against Arsenal, Charlton and either Real Madrid or Barcelona.

Hurray! The inspiring Leader is back soon!!! This should lift the team spirit up!

Beckham will recover in time for WC and smash in those trademark freekicks and bring England further in the WC, best of all, let him score the match decider goals and made those Jackass who speaks bad about him eats their own words!

With a display epitomising champions whose crown will have to be wrenched from their grasp, Manchester United served notice at Stamford Bridge that they will not go down without a fight.


High fives all round as United celebrate Ole Gunnar Solsjaer's late goal
(BenRadford/Allsport)
Arsenal may yet be title favourites but Sir Alex Ferguson's side were in commanding form as they crushed Chelsea 3-0.

Commanding at the back, dominant in midfield and decisive on the break, United ruthlessly swept aside a Chelsea side which had previously suffered just two league defeats since New Year's Day.

A 30-yard drive by Paul Scholes and yet another strike from Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was only denied a hat-trick by the brilliance of Chelsea keeper Carlo Cudicini, provided only a hint of their superiority.

But when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rounded off the scoring late on, it ensured full revenge was exacted for their 3-0 home defeat by Chelsea back in December.

My prediction is somehow againist Man Utd favour! Of course as a Fan, hopefully Man Utd can bring home the silverware, but on the current situations, it sounds like Arsenal is going for the glory! Liverpool got strong players alright, but the way they insists their tactics(Like againist Derby), they will not go far, what happen if Owen don't perform for just one game? Arsenal on the other hand is different, their players are extremely fit and they way they play counterattack and quick passing can leave opposition defenders grasping for air! Seldom you see Arsenal players waiting to end the game by passing! They lost Pires but Ljungberg is on form, Henry unable to bag in goals but Bergkemp is there! They are playing like 1998 double season! The only thing that can stop them form getting a throphy this season is luck now!

Ferguson: We can repeat 1999
By Bob Cass

Sir Alex Ferguson has sounded out a warning to Manchester United's European Cup rivals by insisting: 'We're back in the 1999 mood.'

Fergie: More glory?
(BenRadford/Allsport)
The United manager is sensing the same spirit of determination and application that carried his team to their sensational last-minute final victory over Bayern Munich in Barcelona's Nou Camp Stadium three years ago.

'The players were very focused then and they are now,' he said. 'They are in a similar mood.'

And while Ferguson acknowledges the loss of injured midfield pair Roy Keane and David Beckham for both semi-final legs against Bayer Leverkusen will be a setback, he is confident United will make it to the final in his native Glasgow on May 15.

'We can cope,' he said. 'You get great reassurance from the way players like Nicky Butt have responded. He has been unbelievable. He has matured superbly and has accepted the midfield responsibility that has been thrust on him.

'It's a bit of an insult to the way Butt has been performing to suggest we'll have problems in midfield. He has come in and done well just when we need him most.'

The United dossier on the runaway Bundesliga leaders is a bulky one but there is still room for the kind of inside information which Ferguson hopes will be provided by Gerard Houllier, whose Liverpool team were beaten by Leverkusen in their two-leg quarter-final.

He will be putting a call through to the Anfield boss before Wednesday's first leg at Old Trafford to get his thoughts and advice.

'We have a great relationship,' said Ferguson. 'I am sure he will help if he can. But I know a lot about the Germans already.

'Their pattern of play is totally different to the more disciplined approach of Bayern Munich. They are a strong attacking side who will provide us with a big test.

'But I am happy with the way our defence is performing at the moment. They have developed really well in Europe this season and have shown tremendous concentration in matches.

'The lads are in great shape, mentally and physically. They are showing confidence without being over-confident.'

Houllier's input will not be the only pre-match lift for United from their fierce Merseyside rivals.

There was also a confidence-boosting forecast from three of his vanquished side, with Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher giving a unanimous thumbs-up to the Old Trafford outfit.

Owen said: 'Leverkusen are a good side but I would expect Man U to win quite well at home and, if they can get a couple of goals advantage, I can't see them getting pegged back.'

Carragher said: 'Leverkusen have emerged as strong contenders this season but United have been involved in the Champions League for years and this will be a big advantage.'

And Gerrard agreed: 'United will be stronger over the two legs.'

But all three warned about the dangers of underestimating the Leverkusen side, who restricted Liverpool to one goal in the first leg and won 4-2 on their own ground.

Gerrard said: 'They showed they can score goals against the best defences and they are capable of getting them away from home as well.

'United will find playing at Leverkusen a testing experience. It is only a small stadium and the noise level is incredible and very intimidating.'

United's dressing-room optimism was reflected by Gary Neville. 'There is a massive desire for us to do well in the European Cup, especially as we feel we have under-achieved in the last two seasons,' he said.

'Our performance against Deportivo in Spain in the last round proved that, on our day, we're as good as there is... all we have to do is match that in these two games.'

Wrong.... there's no such thing as ECL or European Champions League.

It's UEFA Champions League, or UCL.

yeah...the EPL is a close race to the finish...

hopefully Liverpool will trip up. but chances are that Arsenal will rise to seal the fate of this EPL....

of course being a Man Utd fan, hopefully they can do well during the UEFA CL and just that odd chance of bringing back some silverware!

And again i say...if man utd dont win it, i would rather Liv than Arse to win! :D
Support Alex in his rivalry against Wenger. :D

Let's be optimistic! Everything can happen in EPL right? Maybe Blackburn sudden form dashed Liverpool hopes? Dun forget former Man Utd Andy Cole is at Blackburn. Maybe Joe Cole is giving his performance of his lifetime, at the expense of Arsenal title challenge, to squeeze himself into the World Cup "starting eleven"? Be positive lah! When everybody has written off Man Utd, their "Luck" don't. Remember 1999? Man Utd famous Treble? Every single person think they will get nothing but they emerge Champion of 3 tournaments! Win the League by a single point and beat Bayer Munich in the injury time! Anything can happen! If you are a Man Utd fan, you should start keeping your fingers cross and start pray for lady luck shining on Man Utd. Dun even think of defeat until the last whistle is blown!:)

OK guys, tonight Man Utd V.s Bayer Leverkusen. Who's watching? Prediction anybody?
Most probably Man Utd 3-1 Bayer Leverkusen.
Man-of-the-Match -> Veron

Man-Utd should not have much problems winning this match.

Half time report:

Man Utd 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen
Solskjear 29min (Actually is an own goal)
Man Utd play quite steady and slow. The attack of the game is somehow at a slower pace as compare to their normal gameplay. Maybe they are trying to see Bayer Leverkusen ability. Bayer Leverkusen on the other hand performs much better but misses at least 3 chances on goal! 2nd half should be more exciting, hopefully Man Utd can score more goals to secure the game or they may end up like Liverpool (Hopefully not).
Devilboy reports:D

[Devilboy]

Full time report:
Man Utd 2-2 Bayer Leverkusen

Sad.....................Man Utd throw away a golden chance in the 70th min when the defence fail to clear the ball and allow Bayer Leverkusen sub Neuville to snarch an equalizer. Man Utd somehow in this match is abit complacent, the 2nd did not posses any form of threat to Bayer Leverkusen. But then again, Man Utd still got a chance next week to even things out! Today is not a good day for Man Utd. The gunners snatch a win over West Ham 2-0! ****................:( :(

Yup. Bayer Leverkusen is quite an under-rated team. But with Michael Ballack & co, should not rank them as outsiders for the final.

Obviously, the lesson given to Liverpool wasn't learnt by Man U.

Let's see what can keane do to help.
Anyway i think Man Utd performs better when under stress, like now.
Else....they do seems a little "complacent".

[kengbeng]

So Liverpool lost to Spurs.
Hope Man Utd wins to secure 2nd place to avoid champions league qualifiers.

[trickle_on]

Liverpudlians are rueing their loss.

Perfect time for the devils to strike out to at least secure second position.

Gonna be quite a nite....whoo!!!

oOoooooooooooooooooooooooo liverpool down! :D

[Devilboy]

The last time I say Liverpool will drop points! And Voila! Loss 0-1 to Tottemham! Next target is Arsenal! Don't write off Bolton as Youri will put his best performance of his lifetime to secure himself a place in the World Cup Finalfor France! Tonight, Man Utd will beat Ispwich and down Arsenal next week and go on to lift the trophy 4th time in a row! HaHaHaHaHa Like I always say, anything can happen in the EPL and when it comes down to the last few games, luck plays a very important part. Take a look at Liverpool, it is not that they play boring soccer and lost the match but they miss a couple of chances to score goals, those who watch the match will know that Liverpool could have beat Tottemham by at least 3 goals! But............how unlucky! HaHaHaHa :bounce: :bounce: :laugh: :laugh:

[Devilboy]

Not to offend anyone! I have seen post in this thread that either says Man Utd will loss or will gain nothing in this season. Well, to all those negative thinkers, support your club till the last whistle is blown! Anything, anything can happen in the EPL! Once again, Glory Glory Man Utd or should I say Lucky Lucky Man Utd?:D :D :D

Dun be smug. It can be a **** hole at Ipswich too. ;)

What we can hope is Arsenal loses to Bolton, and Man U wins Ipswich. Then beat Charlton and Arsenal at home. Then can win the Premier League.
But chances of Bolton winning Arsenal is very small...:(

Alamak! Please be positive! Today at my workplace, two Liverpool fanatics say their team will thrash Tottemham! I told them that Tottemham will win and bet on tomoroow lunch! To my pleasure, Teddy Sheringham and bunch did Man Utd and me a flavour by dashing Liverpool title hope! Football is round and anything can happen in EPL. Arsenal was lucky against West Ham, if Kanuote goal is to stand, maybe we will be in a more comfortable position. Yes Arsenal is very very strong but Bolton has the ability to play againist big teams! Their players are hungry to get themselves into the World Cup and this game can prove crucial to Bolton players! So ..............hahahahaha I still believe Man Utd will be the last team standing! That is the bottomline!

it's hard to see bolton beating arsenal but it isn't that hard to see them getting a draw which would mean United have to beat them at old trafford and probably win the league on goal difference!

You don't have to. I am not a club member myself. The registration is for you to access the live text and radio commentary.

There's another See Red service which requires payment, and allows you to view video archives of matches.
