Is the Premiership title decided now?

United are deserving champions, and that's from a man who despises that poxy club, with it's fairweather fans, hypocritical manager and players who are just horrible human beings.

West ham last week was a far far easier game

agree totally

As a Man Utd fan I feel that if United win the Champions League on the 21st that Sir Alex Ferguson should call it a day and retire at the top where he belongs.

Doubles are rare nowadays and Trebles are now impossible so if he's waiting for another Treble he could be there until he's 100.
I'd love to see him bow out at the top and I'd fully respect him if he did.

Wigan were admirable and played like the game meant something to them.They have some good players in their side,Boyce,Palocious(sp?) and Valencia.
Steve Bennett was in short a bloody disgrace and cant be bothered arguing with anyone over it.
That said, UTD are,I relunctantly admit,deserving champions.Brillant strikers but ably backed up by two outstanding centre backs.Fergusons hunger is remarkable and the last two years he has bought very very well.
I guess he will stay on and hope to pass the scousers record of 18 league wins which he can do next season.
UTD have some big challenges ahead.How do replace Ferguson?Giggs and Scholes are past their best and the spiraling interest rates the Glazers are paying back on that loan will have to be passed onto their fans/customers.
But for now I would admire them if I did'nt dislike them so much.

He's going nowhere until Man Utd have more league titles than Liverpool.

Why? For giving a peno to Man U which was 100% a peno. For not giving Wigan a peno when only 1 Wigan player appealed for one and it is still unclear from replays whether the ball hit his arm of shoulder part of the arm.

True Scholes should have been shown a red but then he'd be castigated by Gray for spoiling the game. Neither he nor the linesman gave the peno on Scholes.

Easy to sit here and pontificate about referees when you see slow motion replays etc.

You listen too much to Andy "I hate referees" Gray. Impossible job made even worse by cheating players and biased commentators.

**NeilMcD** · 12/05/2008, 9:38 AM

Yeah I thought Andy Gray was a disgrace yesterday. I nearly got to the point that I thought he wanted Chelsea to win the league. THe Ferdinand claim was touch and go and they lost out to one at Chelsea and they got away with on yesterday. Close calls that can go either way. I still think that Gray does not actually like Bennet as a person.

**Morbo** · 12/05/2008, 10:52 AM

I can except the handball was difficult to spot(although if it was Wigan who handled it I reckon it would have been spotted) but not giving Scholes a second yellow was pretty spineless

**superfrank** · 12/05/2008, 10:53 AM

Bennett shouldn't be given that much hassle. The peno Man U got was a peno, he also denied them another stonewall peno in the second half.

The Scholes sending off is the only gripe anyone can have with him.

The ball clearly struck Ferdinand's shoulder. He was lucky though because all the replays show Ferdinand stretching his arm out when the shot was hit.
