Utd played like crap today. I don't think Scholes completed more than 10 passes and none of them of the penetrating type. That for me is the main reason we looked like utter rubbish.
The line up may have been conservative but was far from negative. Some might criticize his selection but I'm a fan of Park and the hustle he injects into United's play, so no issue there for me. Nani weirdly enough lately, slows the pace of the game and doesn't flow with the forwards. Had he run at Clichy and worn him down the way Valencia does, he would have received a pat on the back and a 'job well done' from the gaffer at half time. Neither of our wingers drove fear into shitty's wing backs, making it easy for them to be a part of their attack.
Starting Young to run relentlessly up and down the wing may have been a better plan. Replacing him with Giggs for the last 30 with us up would...****, hindsight.

I still think ManU will take the title despite yesterdays loss.
However, Arsenal has now officially bought Podolski and is already off to a good start for the next transfer market. Now we also need Verthongen and Götze or some other great midfielder. Next season Arsenal will be back for real!

Stupid Kompany! Why did he had to score? He's my favorite central defender, but why now? 
De Gea is not a great goalkeeper when it comes to corners, he should have had that ball, it was right trough the middle.
SAF is a great manager but Rooney didn't got a lot of support.
I hope ManU still gets it, but if they don't, it's gonna be their own fault, they should have played better the last few weeks, they didn't lost the title in this game, they lost it against Everton.
For next season: I think Arsenal could surprise us all if they keep Van Persie, Walcott, Vermaelen etc. and add some other good players like Podolski and maybe Hazard or Gotze.

I honestly think Van Persie will leave, he doesnt strike me as a team guy. I think he'll follow the money.

And like every year, I'll expect the worst and hope for the best. Finishing above Chelsea this year is a good reward considering how we started and how we "normally" lost 2 MAIN players and didn't make any big name signings...
