Everton losing is good news for us.
Premier league boxing day fixtures
- Thread starter Salfordlad70
- Start date
And it all tightens up again. Great day for United so far and can only get better now. 0-0 draw with about 10 red cards please.
Wouldn't be surprised if Fat Sham is the next manager to go.
Fat sham 
Did I just watch Soccer Saturday not knowing that the Arsenal game was on BT Sport? feck sake!
So what about Newcastle then? Really coming into some form now.
fecking Stoke and West Ham, but decent set of results for us. If the next match could be a draw, then it's an absolutely mint boxing day for us. Arse play Newcastle, Chelsea play Liverpool, Everton play Southamption and Citeh play Swansea away. Favourable results in these fixtures mean we'll be 6 points off the top and 3 points off 4th place. Miracle considering our start
Come on United.

Nice. Will do well to better Rooney's from earlier so we should have a few goals to watch tonight.
I know people don't much like him - and I can understand why - but if Pulis keeps that side up then it's an amazing achievement, regardless of the style of football he has to play to make it happen. I still think they're going to struggle in the second half of the season if they don't improve the squad in January, but they've given themselves a real chance that didn't look possible a couple of months back.
If you don't have good players - or the resources to buy some - Pulis is probably one of the better managers you can get in.
We have character oozing from every pore.
We were immense as an attacking force today but just could not stick away the chances.
Then we see the value of the finishing of Podolski and Walcott. Top, top class.
Buzzing.

Well done magpies, now let's nick Yohan.
Palace at home.

if we are 5 off the top on New Year...we will go on to retain the title.
Shout out to Kieran Gibbs. The best performance from a left back I've seen this season.
Everton and Spurs drop points, good news.
Newcastle though, they need to be brought back down to Earth. Hopefully Arsenal beat them.

Spurs and Eveton results were good for us.
Everton lose and Tottenham draw. Good for us. We'll probably be 5 pts away from 4th spot after the City and Liverpool game.
Not bothered by Newcastle, they're not a threat. They were losing 0-1 to Stoke before Stoke went down to 9 men.

What? Why?
what? Newcastle will never take the title. They are not going to beat Arsenal anyway.
You've got a better team than both of them.
I know this'll tempt fate, but you won't be seeing the top sides lose at home to Sunderland. It's the kind of result Everton have to iron out and overcome, and it's where having world class players is so vital.
We're back in this, somehow.
Everton were fecked from the minute Howard tried that retarded pass and then pulled down Kie (sp?). One nil down and down to ten men for most of the game would be tough for anyone.
BT Sport were showing West Ham vs Arsenal?!?! A 3pm kick off?!?
Is this just because it was boxing day?

Now why would you want that?
Draw won't be too bad, but let's hope Arse lose the match.Just seen the arsenal goals, the keeper on the first
Character? I thought you were extremely lucky. West ham's energy seemed to completely throw arsenals game off. Once you got a goal, they seemed to lose belief completely. They're a terrible side really, were awful against us too.
Good day to be a red really. By next weekend our top four changes should look a lot better.
Wasn't it Leon Osman's fault for exposing Howard ?
Wonderful goal from Scott Parker today.
Even we would score 5 against 9 men.
Well that's the point really. No top side would do something quite so stupid.
It would be tough for anyone, but it's not impossible to score against the bottom side with ten men. Happy for Sunderland though who deserved some luck.
I doubt it. I know the automatic three for a straight red is gone but isn't it at least a two game ban?
I thought it was a really poor pass to a player covered. No need to take the risk. Osman fecked up too but I'd put the blame with Howard.
(I only seen one replay of it.)
