You're expected to win your home games, are you not?

Remind me how Utd got on against the top 4 finishers last year in the league? Looks like the trend has continued this year, a lucky 2-1 and two losses

We won the one that mattered.

Of course, it was down to luck that your Arsenal team couldn't take their chances against United and capitulated at the back. Oh dear.

Against Chelsea. And drew at their place. Our big 2 encounters are what matters.

Matters to who? If you'd taken care of Liverpool Chelsea may have finished 2nd, can you rely on Utd for anything?

Matters to us, of course. Why would we care who comes 2nd?

Had our results against Liverpool and Chelsea been reversed, we wouldn't have won the league. Chelsea would have. We got the points in the games that mattered.

Only the Liverpool results need be reversed which would have given Chelsea 2nd, how can they rely on Utd for anything?

The result today may have absolutely no bearing on the title, but you are treating it like it mattered, the big 4 games mattered when you played them last season and you failed in general

Hindsight is 20-20 even with those United specs on.

United are just as at fault for letting Chelsea romp off with the league as Arsenal are.

Just count yourselves lucky for only having to deal with one dodgy refereeing decision... and you couldn't even manage that.

Did you miss my point asking why would we care who came 2nd?

The only "big 4" games that mattered to us last season were the Chelsea ones. Same with this season. Our games against Liverpool and Arsenal have as much bearing on the title as ours against West Ham and Stoke.

Just the one?

You can count yourself lucky that you lost today and deserved to lose.

Chelsea cared who came 2nd, they could have if Utd could be relied upon.

We put our own results first before anything else.

Did Arsenal do that today?

Maybe if Utd did that they wouldn't be relying on Arsenal to stop Chelsea

Not our fault if teams like yours bend over, drop their pants and get raped at home to Chelsea.

Ultimate game raisers. Small clubs generally raise their game against the top teams. Shame that didn't happen today.

Yeah, or last season when Utd beat all the small timers but struggled against the big boys

3-0 at home to Chelsea and 1-1 away. All that mattered.

What do guys think about Diego Forlan? Been hearing rumors that he wants to come back to the EPL.
