Unfortunately for Man Utd they'll get their shot at Chelsea in March after two or more signings have been made this January.

"We need to see the position of Alex. He comes back from Brazil," he said.

"I don't like to speak here about which players but we need some players."

Those were Ancelotti's comments after yesterday's match with Villa. I think they'll bring in one or two players this January especially at the back. They never replaced Carvalho when he left for Real Madrid so right now they don't have any dependable defender to deputize for Alex as he recovers from injury.

C & P....Birmingham Vs Arsenal

“Even if we had won the game Arsenal would have been the classier side,” McLeish conceded as his side appeared leggy, lethargic and in trouble as they slumped into the bottom three.

They were too quick, too clever, too fresh and simply too strong.
The margin of victory should have been greater and, as it stands, was the heaviest home defeat suffered by Blues for almost six years. It was a significant evening.


Man Utd fans need to realize that the other teams don't really care about their "unbeaten run" (especially Arsenal)as long as they are within range....truth be told i don't think there's any team in the league at the moment which has the quality to emulate the 2003-2004 Arsenal squad A.K.A "the invincibles".

Man Utd have a game in hand against Blackpool but they are also the only side this season which hasn't played Chelsea. Man City have also played a match more than Arsenal but that will be inconsequential if they win on Wednesday.
