i like tottenhams chances to be in the top 4. i also like city now that roberto mancini is in charge he will help them get established better.

Big wins for Man U and Arsenal last night, following on from Liverpool's last-gasp winner at Aston Villa the night before means it's going to be an interesting new year. It's the FA Cup 3rd round this weekend though - watch out for the Man U - Leeds match on Sunday...

Big week for Arsenal comin up with 3 games in 9 days (counting FA Cup) with the chance to move into 2nd place or even 1st if Chelsea either loses or ties, let the games begin

Biggest possible upset happens in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup: Man Utd 0-1 Leeds Utd

Leeds didn't kick them off they park, they played a great game and had more than 50% of the posession.

Late in the game, rather than sitting back Leeds pushed forward and created more chances. With about 15 minutes to go Beckford nearly scored his second goal for Leeds, shooting inches wide of the left post. A couple of minutes later a near perfect Leeds free-kick hit the crossbar.

Whilst Man Utd created a few chances late in the game the Leeds defence managed to block everything. Even the added 5 minutes of stoppage time (or "Fergie-time" as the cheeky Leeds fans were chanting) weren't enough for Manchester to score.

On the day the best team won. Well done Leeds.

It's just typical that the Man Utd manager is too much of an ahole to graciously accept a deserved defeat. As usual he didn't do the post match interview, what a tosser.

But when he did speak, he had the gall to complain about the 5 minutes of injury time...

"That is an insult to the game and the players out there," he said. What was the ref supposed to do? Keep playing til Man Utd equalized - like they usually do?

I also missed that interview, I'll catch it on the highlights show later tonight.

And you're right, Fergie does believe that the referee must delay the final whistle until after Man U have at least equalised. Even then he still won't be happy and he'll moan that there wasn't enough time for them to score a winner.

A bit of bad luck for Leeds drawing Tottenham away in the 4th round. That's a tough way to reward them for beating Man U.

A great result, all non-Man U fans love it when they lose. I hope Fergie does an interview later, I wonder what gripes he has about the game, obviously the referee screwed up and it was unfair that Leeds kept the ball too much.

It's funny that the Leeds fan were mocking Fergie with their chanting. He looked pissed off that they only got 5 minutes stoppage/injury time.

At least Fulham won 1-0 against Swindon yesterday, we may only have beaten a League One side in a fairly close match, but who cares, a win's a win. And remember Leeds are also currently a League One side.

It's funny how all non-Manchester Utd supporters are sick of Fergie's post-match moans and winges about the referee being unfit or the lack of injury time.

He can't expect the seven minutes they got against Manchester City earlier this season every week.
