I imagine Celtic are the biggest seen as people who support Man U, Liverpool or any other side also tend to have Celtic as a second team. Then there are the out and out Celtic fans.

I am sure I read somewhere recently that said Man U have 100 million "active" supporters in China.Could this figure be possibly correct?

Depends what "active" means.

If it means "not in a coma and saw Utd playing on TV once" it could be
true.
However if it means "regularly buy online from the Utd website" it probably isn't

And Chelsea's bottle job against Wigan comes into sharp focus with United's draw with Blackburn

too bloody right. All or nothing for Chelsea next Saturday.

Apparantly the word active is modern football marketing speak for them buying a related club product but that figure must be nonsense.Friedal was heroic yesterday.

2-1 to Chelsea!!!

YEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**shakermaker1982** · 26/04/2008, 2:10 PM

gutted.

Why take Anderson off? I knew putting O'Shea on would come back to haunt Fergie because Tevez needed to come on when Chelsea scored again.

Well it certainly makes it more interesting now!

United were worse in the 1st half than thy were vs Barcelona.

Nani was useless. He didn't beat Ashley Cole once or pass it to the right man once. He should have been taken off not Anderson.
I can't argue with the penalty as it was a clear handball and well taken.

I thought Drogba was a disgrace. He was throwing himself all over the place and when he kicked Vidic in the face Sky should a slow motion replay and you could see Drogba was about to dive to the ground until he realised what he did.

I agree Drogba is a diving.....player but is anyone going to mention VDS or did the Man U fans have their backs turned for that?

Utd were poor in the 1st half, they were better in the 2nd half but could have done better than they did, it was a penalty although Ferguson was not happy about it, also, how did Ronaldo not a get a penalty from Ballack, clear penalty, why do refs never give penalties from free kick/corner situations, they also favour the defending team.

Van Der Saar is a disgrace, his card should have been marked 10 years ago for the Ortega incident, he robbed the world cup of a classic semi final. I'm glad he's never won anything with Holland, cheating disgrace.

Surprised Anderson was taken off.Will be even more amazed if Ferguson plays Park or Nani instead of him on Tues.The lad looks very strong.Are Barca playing tonight?

They said on the Premiership that they lost 2-0 to Deportivo.

**TheBoss** · 26/04/2008, 8:42 PM

They were not at full strength, they rested their main players.

Comfortable win for United yesterday. Newcastle are in good form at the moment, could see Chelsea slipping up.

**mypost** · 05/05/2008, 3:58 PM

I'm assuming Wigan will blow the game on Sunday, as they have nothing to play for, and Fergie's mate won't be allowed back into OT again if they win.

Not happening!

One more game...

**rambler14** · 05/05/2008, 8:28 PM

Newcastle looked great in the first half but they were totally different in the 2nd half.

If Newcastle can get €15 million for Obafemi Martins based on that performence then i'd love to meet their negotiator and ask him how he does it! A useless player with no future at Newcastle.
