lol @ Man Utd performance.

I missed Rooney's sending off, watch it later tonight on Match of the Day.

I hope big Sir Alex fines the team for that nonsense today.

Before today I was going to change my fantasy league team that has Schwarzer, Konchesky and Murphy as I thought Man Utd would win. Sooooo glad I forgot, have Schwarzer as captain as well :D

Only problem is I have 3 Man Utd players in the team also :( - http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/eventhist.mc?id=654291

Fergie's cracking up :D

A Liverpool fan could have only dreamed of Chelsea and Man United losing today...I love it :) hopefully we can win against AV won't be easy but Liverpool can do it

COME ON YOU SPURS!

Truly the one of the best performances I have seen in years from Spurs, looked composed, competent on the ball and hit with pace. Modric and Lennon were superb and Gomes is beginning to show the kind of form that made him a hero at PSV.

Waffer cup is well within the bounds of possibility! Who would have thought it!!!

Did pool a bit of a favour too - definitely mixed it up what with Fulham's win against the Manx.

[ViZioN]

Back day for United today :| Oh and two players sent off. Great!

[Kralik]

I missed the game today coz of work :( heard a bit on the radio driving back.. 3-1 sounds convincing.. will be waiting anxiously for MotD..

Thank you Spurs!!! Thats 2 weeks in the row you've helped us stay in top 4 :p

Will be hoping Liverpool brings it on against Villa.. you never know with the Reds :s

[idioot]

What a win! Van Persie still could not score for god knows how many games in a row by now.

Great game, great penalty save by Almunia! But terrible moment for Gallas right after we went 1:0 up, let Martins equalize less than a minute later... :no:

Oh well, it's all good in the end.

[Kralik]

Walcott is injured again!! :( 3-5 weeks.. can miss the rest of the season.. thats a blow we can't afford especially with Rosicky not returning as well..

Anyways.. just had a look at the league table and noticed there is a bit of the gap opening now between the relegation zone and rest of the league.. not big.. its just 2 points..

West Brom is doomed.. but Boro and New Castle might be able to do something able it yet.. Here are the remaining fixtures for both of them.. on paper it seems very interesting..

Middlesbrough:

Bolton(A)

Hull(H)

Fulham(H)

Arsenal(A)

Man U(H)

New Castle(A)

Villa(H)

West Ham(A)

New Castle:

Chelsea(H)

Stoke(A)

Spurs(H)

Portsmouth(H)

Liverpool(A)

Middlesbrough(H)

Fulham(H)

Villa(A)

Your thoughts?

From the lists you posted, it looks like both clubs have rather difficult fixtures coming up.

If I had to choose who could stay up, I would rather Boro stayed in the Premier League, simply because one of my old housemates is a Boro fan. Middlesborough don't fill out The Riverside well, but they do produce some good English talent, a rare characteristic of top flight teams. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Newcastle, but it would be rather amusing to see such a self proclaimed 'big club' get relegated.

There are still lots of clubs who could still get sucked into a relegation dog fight.

Ow man - just got back from the hospital after popping a lung laughing so much at the Mancs losing again ;)

So Rafas outburst in January has got to rosy nose Fergie then - what a day, just hope Pool can win tomorrow to close the lead and get to 2nd in the league.

Come on you pool, make the mancs crap themselves some more!!

Oooo I would laugh but it hurts so much :D

Bloody Liverpool, and bloody liverpool reject Heskey. That's this season finished. (Posting this just as the 4th goal has gone in)

[fatboyuk]

Got to say its going to be a nail biting end to the season - but the last couple of weeks have been brilliant for the Pool, they have finally started playing extremely well together.

To be honest, I have blasts from the past, they are playing like the Liverpool team of the 80s.

There is no clear winner for the league but I am happy as larry!

Shame that some Villa fans are leaving already, their team may be stuffed but at least they could try to raise them to the game - bad show I say!

Apart from that - gooooo ooooooooon Pooooooooooooooooooool!!

[shaywood]

Not really a fan of Liverpool but I have to say Gerrard is the best player in the world.

The finish this season is going to be good for us neutrals.

On a side note, cracking result for United today, playoffs here we come!!!!

[fatboyuk]

Harsh red card - but I am glad and fingers crossed for number 5!!

[Dark_ph0enix]

Harsh red card - but I am glad and fingers crossed for number 5!!

Harsh red card - aint that an understatement. Still, if we're gonna get thrashed, I'd rather it be by Liverpool than United (now go and win the bloody league, 'cause you aint getting Barry in the Summer :) )

[fatboyuk]

now go and win the bloody league, 'cause you aint getting Barry in the Summer :)

LOL, was picturing him in a red shirt as well ;)

Lenon is firmly out of the picture as he signed a 2 year contract extension yesterday!!

Lenon is firmly out of the picture as he signed a 2 year contract extension yesterday!!

I didn't know that (about Lenon) - he's a decent enough player, but yeah looks like Benetiz won't be able to spend some of his ?100m (According to the Mirror) on either Lenon or Barry (Fingers crossed - I would hope that he'll appreciate that, if we'd got a stronger squad, we coulda kept up the challenge for 4th).

[fatboyuk]

Lennon now contracted until 2014: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_5076531,00.html

'tis definitely a good weekend for 'em, beating Chelsea and now that.

[rajputwarrior]

13 goals in the last three games, liverpool is just raping opponents. Stevie G with a hatty!! what a cheeky free kick!

He he he he :shifty:

They say.. class is permanent.. form is temporary!!

and Arsenal and Liverpool are just proving that and just at the right time :D

Thank you 'Pool!!! We are now safe in 4th place it seems :p

btw what a super 2 weeks its been for Liverpool! Confidence must be beyond the sky at Anfield.. 3 amazing wins + Rafa staying + Stevie G had the case against him dropped!!

:) EPL isn't over yet!

[Martyn]

5-0. Could be worse ;)

Rafa has 'definitely' cracked up now :cool:

I felt pretty sorry for Friedel when he got sent off. It was really harsh, but I suppose by the laws of the game he had to see red.

It was nice to see he got a standing ovation from both sets of supporters, it is just a shame he will be missing when you play Man Utd next.
