Man Utd huffed and puffed and at times were lucky to escape being punished for some unusual slackness but were deserved winners in the end.

John Terry should have been sent off for the penalty incident a stonewall foul, and a goalscoring opportunity. Next weekend will be a pivitol day in the title race.

with united not taking their chances! its okay i suppose to ride their luck! we haven't had that luck since the beginning of the season! Arsenal rode their luck in the beginning of the season and now their running out of it. somehow, we just have the knack of winning games that we most definitely would've lost if it was liverpool! chelsea beat derby 6-1.. big deal! we beat newcastle 6-0, 5-1.... any other team done that? in fact 4-0 against arsenal! that's why we are the best!
