Not really. We got 1 point rather than 0.

Russ that was near enough 1.5 season unbeaten. Wish we won now it would've been nice to be 2 points instead of 4 behind but still seeing manure lose is always nice

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
I'm sure it'll bring much pleasure to Arsenal fans as they watch their team blow another title run by May

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
I do feel sorry for all the United fans that have to make the trip back to Surrey

Ignoring your questionable grammar I would like to point out that Preston North End went a full season undefeated long before the Arse.

Oh well. Disappointing day made slightly better, Arsenal have Wolves next week. Need to bounce back against a team that will be brimming with confidence.

Hardly worth commenting on but just in case you are under any illusion, Man Utd have, as a percentage more season ticket holders living at Manchester post codes than Man City.
It is amazing who Wolves have beaten this year and yet they are still bottom of the league.

But is this how the once mighty Arsenal are reduced to? Hoping that they get some entertainment from seeing Utd lose?  The smaller clubs do that

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
I think its a cunning plan from SAF, games against Man City, Chelski and Arsenal coming up. Now they won't have the added incentive of trying to stop an unbeaten run.

Still around London. Besides the majority of fans live in North London, Essex, and Hertfordshire. United probably have the most diverse sector of fans. It is amazing that United are one of the most supported teams in London, certainly up there with West Ham, Arsenal and Spurs (Chelsea seem to have less for some reason). Out of my friend group United are the most supported side (other than Arsenal). It's a very rare occurrence in Football. Probably only United, Madrid and Barcelona have similar situations. Africa has a lot of Arsenal and Chelsea fans though.
I do wonder why United have that wide a support. Liverpool are a successful club as well and it's not too rare to see a Liverpool fan in London or anything but much rarer than United. Maybe it's because my generation grew up in United's ultra successful years.
To be honest it was mostly a wind-up. However I find it odd that a lot of my United supporting friends have never been to a game. I love going to the Stadium much more than any other part of supporting a club. I never got to go back to Highbury after we won the double in Wenger's first year so I watched all our successes on TV. I prefer the feeling of going to the Emirates than I did watching Arsenal win those titles. Obviously I want both though

This is a pretty feeble attempt.
Are you seriously considering the space of literally a couple of hours as meaning it's a "game in hand"? Desperate.
Arsenal drew, you lost. Your unbeaten record is gone, Arsenal's unbeaten season record is intact for another year. Not only did you fail at extending your lead, Arsenal are actually closer despite dropping points.
Yes, ending that run with a Rooney dive. Ooops, i forgot.............ENGLISH PLAYERS DON'T DIVE!

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
Far too much is made about going unbeaten for the season, i really couldnt give a **** so long as we win the league. I'd rather have the outright record for number of league wins than going unbeaten for one season.
