Well you have found the game in hand situation again, but the points are still missing, I guess...

They still have two London derbys and a game versus a small club from Manchester...

The small matter of NOT playing Champions League qualifiers would be important.

He just isnt playing good enough to be in the team! Scholes should be ahead of him.

We'll qualify by being holders. Actually all is NOT over, nothing is until we are mathematically beaten. Before this match, we had to win the rest of our matches to win the title. After this match, we have to win the rest of our matches (no changes here) and hope for Arsenal and Pool to slip up. The lads have made things tougher, but I would like to believe they will get through it.
But it does matter where we finishes, even IF we are not the champions. Getting third would be refreshing, but no thanks.

Fair point. Except if Scholes had been on, we might have had more bite in the attack.

Maybe... but maybe we would have missed out somewhere else then...
We were just not good enough today...

I've never been a great fan of Scholes, but I do have an awful lot of respect for him... cuz he knows when to perform well... and yes... the lad deserves a good run of 1st-team-footy after WHU and Boavista... (we seem to agree on most don't we??? It ends up like this in the other threads aswell... )

There are changes needed -- Forlan looks like a great midfield player, a grafter, but not a striker. So we need a striker badly in particular with Ole out!
We also need a defender or two -- Blanc's ability to read the game is not enough, speed to needed too at this level!
I never thought I'd see the day when United lack of squad would be an issue!

The bad spell we had at the begining of the season has cost us . If we had won the games at OT against W Ham & Bolton , we would be sitting pretty at the top and looking towards aother championship trophy . Its comforting at least to see the only reason the Arse & Poo are in a good position is not due to their improved quality but because we have tripped ourselves up . Some people on this forum refer to the Arses form at the moment . What about the performances against De Portivo & Juve . The Arse were absolute shite . I still think they will slip up . We will stuff them at OT and win the title. <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />

So if the other teams like Liverpool, Leeds, Chelsea, Newcastle or Arsenal hadn't had their 'bad spells' they'd all be doing the same, what an embarrassingly shallow argument you put forward.
Whoever wins the league, be it Liverpool or Arsenal, will have been the most consistant side over the 38 games... that's all it boils down to. The winners will have done so on their own merits not on the failings of others.

He just seems to play in different game than the rest of his teammates. He seems so out of sync. He shows signs of brilliance from time to time, but then completely looks awfull for a player of his stature. I expected a whole lot more of him.. Going into this season is was worried more about RVN contibution than Veron's. I thought Veron would have made a huge difference.
