United P 21 - 55 points
Arsenal P 21 - 52 points
Liverpool P 22 - 42 points <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

Bet that convinces you I'm right :rolleyes: </strong><hr></blockquote>

Start from day 1 of the season, Arsenal Are Top, and could win it this week. If they beat you, and LFC win, you will be third.
If LFC beat Ipswich last game you are 3rd. 2 places worse than last year, AND £50m+ spent to get there.

I'm sorry. It has been agreed that current form only includes games from 12/12/01 to 07/05/02.

So we are the best and you lot are miles behind.

Sheesh! I thought even a scouser would get that ;)
 
Unless we beat Arseanl in which case the current form period may be extended.
 
Now why does the phrase, 'Form is temporary, class is premanent' come to mind ? <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" /> Regardless of what happens at Old Trafford tonight, we will be back next season trying our best to be back where we belong - at the very top of world football; history says when we don't win the Premiership, we clean up the next year.
 
Holy cats!

Arsenal may win the league but utd are the best team in England.....

Oh please, that's almost as bad as Leeds claiming themselves to be the best because they lost less games than anyone else in 2001.

Over the course of 38 games you play all the same teams twice, it is the only measure on which you can accuratly say who is the best. If Arsenal win the league they are the best team in England. Get over it.

It would appear 8 Ace's drivel is being eagerly gobbled up by some of you more myopic mancs.

as for Viera being the only Arsenal player you'd touch with a bargpole?!?!?! :rolleyes:
So you'd rather have the whole of your defense than there's would you? Pires? Henry? Nah don't want them, they're cr@p.......

you really couldn't make it up.......

No need to deabte the point. The definition of current form has been been agreed to include only PL games between 12/12/01 and 07/05/02.

FFS the figures speak for themselves ;)

Our defense isn't up to scratch but the only Arsenal player who is good enough to play for United is Viera and I wouldn't pay anywhere near the dosh he would cost. They have other good players - Pires, Henry and Lundberg spring to mind - but signing them for United (assuming they were available) would be pointless because we have better.

Winning things mean you have a good team at that point. It doesn't mean that your players are individually the best. Look at Leeds when they won the last 1st divison championship. With one notable exception they were workhorses.

You really belive, hand on heart, that Solskjaer is a better player than Henry?
Really?

He has a passion for the club, and that's worth as much as anything.

And he's not bad at putting the ball in the net.
 
There's not much to choose between us, Arsenal or Liverpool in terms of players, and the level we are all playing at, but I think the other two have (obviously) caught us up in terms of consistency, and it's going to be bloody hard to regain the kind of dominance that we have enjoyed in the past decade.

We have to try, though, and I am glad that we have Ferguson to guide the team for the next few years, he's seen it all, and if anyone can take the team up to another level, it's him.

Well done to Arsenal, and Liverpool, for the new levels they have achieved this season, the really hard part part is keeping it going, as we know.
 
We lost to Arsenal twice, and Liverpool twice.

The rest of the statistics are all nonsense. If we can't beat the other best teams then we can't claim to be the best. If Fergie had the courage to say this, we might have some faith that we were on the road to fixing it.

Yes without a doubt. I wouldn't do a straight swap under any circumstances. Ole is undervalued even by United fans.
 
as a neutral ;) I would say that ogs is better than henry, and I would also put him ahead of rvn.
