Yesterday was one of the most anticipated days of the year; everyone was up for it and looking forward to finding out what it would bring. But enough about my birthday, there was also a very important football match too. It was chance to stuff the Gooners and move nine clear of crumbling Chelsea. In the event we did not take the chance and as I write here today I am still unable to figure out really what happened.

Look After the Games and the League Takes Care Of Itself
United v Arsenal – Boil it down to what it is, us against them; quality players on each side (and Darren Fletcher). Who wants it the most?
Good afternoon people, I hope everyone’s weekend is going very well. This is quite a good weekend for football, I’m sure you will all agree. Apologies for the Sky Sports-stylee OTT approach to this weekend’s game against Arsenal but I like so many United fans, am extremely geared up for this game. Games against the Arse are always good, you get the feeling that each one of the United players on that pitch tomorrow will want it a little more – and so they should. Rio will want to stick Henry on his smug backside, Waynewill be wanting to fire on all cylinders again and every single solitary boo which Cristiano Ronaldo gets from the Arsenal fans’ will only drive him on. These weekends sell themselves, without the hype about this being essential to United’s championship push, it’s Arsenal versus Manchester United for crying out loud.

It’s Not the Size of the Gap, It’s What You Do With it That Counts!
In this, the season of good will to all men and fellow supporters in this wonderful league of ours, I thought I would make a return to Mancunia to say thank you to all the rival fans for their reaction to our own Cristiano Ronaldo. After the world cup we wondered if we had seen the last of Ronnie in United red. So did Sir Alex, according to an exclusive interview done by Rollin Reds (the magazine for United’s disabled supporters), after that incident he was texting Cristiano and receiving no reply. Fergie feared the worst, agents getting involved, not being able to speak directly, the news was saying that Ronaldo was ignoring his club and for a second Sir Alex believed it. Then he realised that he had been texting his old number!!!!
When he did get in contact with him it was clear there was never any intention to leave our club, and so he just had to prepare himself for the reaction from rival supporters. We as United fans have been through this before with David Beckham and we watched him grow and grow into a player that the world would know. Ronaldo is following the same path (by all accounts a move to Real Madrid at some point wouldn’t be too out of the question for him either) and the lad seems to thrive on all the boo antics. Against Aston Villa he scored a goal didn’t look too far removed from one that Ryan Giggs may have scored a few years back, or George Best (back when he could be arsed to play) and all round he is playing the best I have seen from him.
