maybe even some getting the train and then a flight from Mumbai perhaps?

I'm stopping at Mumbai em route to Reethira in February,I might try and meet up with the hardcore.

Maldives?

Correct.

2-0 to United...8 minutes of injury time...

2-1 to United...3 minutes of injury time left...

Final score...2-1 to United...up to 4th now...

Newcastle the team of the moment...what a remarkable turnaround in past month...up to 5th now after 5 consecutive league wins...

Wenger ,your boys took one hell of a beating

Could two managers be sacked this weekend? Rodgers and Wenger?

Enjoyed the last 20 mins.
Thought De Gea played well again,Rooney has had a great week,but what about Arsenal.
United had a lot of players out injured and Ársenal at home should be better than that.
2-1 flattered them in the end,could have easily been 3 or 4-0.
Has Wenger gone as flat as their home support,is he past he's sell buy date?

with the greatest respect to the Man U team, that was the weakest team I have seen in 20 years yet Arsenal still failed to beat them. Time for Wenger to go as his stubbiness is making Arsenal the laughing stock of football. The 2nd United goal was pathetic defending. The Arsenal centre back, Mertesacker was out on the right wing when United broke up an Arsenal attack. Wenger and his team do not learn from their same mistakes week in and week out and I feel that Dortmund are going to give them a proper thrashing in the week.

Agree that United were poor in the 1st half and should have been 2/3 down but for De Gea...but definitely the better team in the 2nd half on basis of chances and much improved defending...got a lot more help from midfield and wide players were also back...

Wenger can't make people miss from 8 yards with the goal at your mercy.

The difference for me, despite his miss, was Jack Wilshere. I thought he was outstanding, albeit he was lucky to still be on given his momentary red mist, but he was dominant and a constant threat, exactly what United, so evidently, miss... imo anyway.

Outplayed pretty much until he went off, smash n grab raid and though happy and grateful for the win, I don't like watching United so clearly second best. In fact, let's be honest, we didn't know where to turn at times and our ball retention and distribution was woeful, constantly looked long for the bushy head all too often. Any team who did that to us and people go on about how the oppo deserved to win, I look at them and think they are just idiots, United were winners but far from deservedly so. Have a hell of a long, long, long way to go to make them a proper team playing entertaining football and challenging the top sides... still watching this space!!

Englander, Wenger is too blame as he refuses to strengthen the back 4. He lets 5 defenders go in the summer and brings in 2. He does not re-sign Fabregas because he says he wont fit into the Arsenal style of play. What a joke. Look what Fabregas is doing at Chavsville Athletic.

I am not sure Fabregas n Wilshere could play together, very similar but maybe they could. And for the most part tonight, the pockets of their back 4 were simply bursting with United players (sad to say!). That is not to say they are the best about though.
