Shifting goal posts....If Arsenal win this trophy (regardless of its importance) i don't expect any Arsenal hater to continue singing about a trophyless season for at least one more season.

Huna bahati......We shall start saying that aseno has won nothing in the last 5yrs except the carling cup. Thats how bad things are for you and mr bean.

Or even worse we shall say aseno has not won the league for the last 7yrs. Yes 7yrs. So if you expect the carling cup to camouflage your trophy drought, you are thoroughly mistaken. HABARI NDIO HIYO.

I thought this was an interesting Copy and paste from the telegraph. Long but worth it. Enjoy.

Premier League title race: where it will be won and lost

By Nick Pearce – The Telegraph
MANCHESTER UNITED
Strengths: The crucial point is that Manchester United have been there and done it. The core of this team know how to navigate title run-ins and they are yet to lose a game this term. Old Trafford has regained 'fortress' status too, which will be crucial when Manchester City and Chelsea come to town.
Weaknesses: At home United may be a cocksure force of nature, but on the road it's a different story. Sir Alex Ferguson's side have managed just one away win - the same as Fulham. Three tricky visits to the capital could be their undoing, a situation not helped by Wayne Rooney's dearth of form and goals.

ARSENAL
Strengths: When Arsenal are in that mood, they can be too hot to handle. And at times that's been the case, with the Gunners scoring 39 goals, at a rate of two a game. Arsene Wenger's side have also gone some way to shaking off their 'flaky' tag, especially away from the Emirates, by manning up and winning, when historically they would crumble.
Weaknesses: Just too many dropped points that have stemmed from the concession of too many sloppy goals. Arsenal have only kept four clean sheets this term and have a shaky core that fails to fill even the most ardent of supporter with confidence. Marouane Chamakh began the season well but has failed to match Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez for goals.

CHELSEA
Strengths: The Blues have big names aplenty, who when they shake off the rust and malaise, should fire them up the league. In spite of their recent poor form Chelsea have still conceded the fewest goals in the division. So, take a handful of big name players add a stingy defence and in theory you should have a title contending team.
Weaknesses: When they're bad, they're really bad. The performances in defeats to Liverpool, Sunderland and Birmingham showed a side absolutely devoid of spirit and quality and a spanking by local rivals Arsenal has done little to raise spirits. Chelsea's problem is they're in a rut. Can they get out, or is it terminal? The next month could be crucial.

@Mwenza & Mcreggae

I really love the attention paid by Man U fans to Arsenal on this thread as it demonstrates ur worst fears/nightmares that Arsenal will win the league this season. How else do you explain all the cannon directed at Gunners fans.

The reality is ARSENAL gonna lift the championship this year.Its unfortunate Wenger chose a squad that did not deliver yesterday and I believe they will dust themselves and pick it up from the momentum gained in the Chelsea game.
Being the undefending champions of the carling cup that is never paraded will also have to be passed just kuwaweka mafeelings.

you must be high on some cheap and fake alternative pharmaceuticals...

I do not understand why Man-U fans are so afraid of Arsenal!When we beat Chelsea fare ans square they say it was a weak Chelsea squad!!The fact is that it was a full first 11 including Lampard, Terry, Drogba, etc who had been away.They have been saying we have no trophy now we are winning the Carling cup and they are now saying hiyo si kitu.Kwani we are darmed if we win and darmed if we don't?

Well spoken this Manu guys are just haters!Wait the day we lift the trophy, what will they say?( i can just see someone saying we will win in our dreams) Then they wake up!

winston, those players had their loan on 3rd Jan so they wud have played only one more game!!!!

Sir Alex Ferguson turns 69 today! Still going strong, still winning th trophies? What a legend! What an ambassador for the game! Happy birthday Fergie! Shine on some more!
