    Considering how awful the club is historically in Spain a 1-1 draw is fantastic.

    Just finished watching the game

    • DDG had a real nice game
    • RVP should have scored late
    • WTF was up with the ref not allowing the corner at the end
    • Second half was much better than the first
    • Happy with a draw
    • Gus Johnson was actually better than I expected, but that wasn't saying much

    Well usually the ref lets teams play the corner, but in reality its not obligatory. Nothing he did was wrong, the 3 mins were up. It was our fault we walked around, we shouldve taken it quicker

    People who don't understand this technique have never played keeper before. Your momentum is in your legs when you're shuffling laterally...all of your weight is on your heels. Keeping coaches teach you to be ready for kick saves in these situations for that very reason.

    De Gea's reactions and coordination are impeccable, haven't seen many like him in recent years. Certainly keeps things entertaining.

    LONDON -- Manchester United is running away with the English Premier League title, and achieving record success off the pitch as well.
    The club on Thursday forecast record revenue this season of 350 million pounds ($542 million) to 360 million pounds ($558 million) as it released financial results for the last three months of a trophyless 2012.
    United's revenue rose nine percent year-on-year in that period to a record 110 million pounds ($170 million), and pre-tax profit soared 48 percent to 28.4 million pounds ($44 million).
    Alex Ferguson's side unexpectedly exited the Champions League in the group stage in the 2011-12 season but is thriving again in Europe, drawing 1-1 in the first leg of its last-16 match at Real Madrid on Wednesday.
    And after losing out on the Premier League title last season to Manchester City on goal difference, United enjoys a 12-point lead over the second-place champions.
    Due to the imminent expectation of silverware, protests against the owning Glazer family have virtually disappeared at Old Trafford.
    Using the proceeds of its flotation on the New York Stock Exchange, the gross debt that has angered fans in the past has dropped 17 percent in a year to 366.6 million pounds ($567 million).
    After a disappointing market debut in August at a discounted $14 a share, United was trading at $18.60 on Thursday afternoon.
    Executive vice chairman Ed Woodward told investors the record revenue is being driven by "extremely strong growth, particularly in sponsorship."
    United has been rapidly raising cash through innovative global sponsorship agreements, with six deals signed in the final three months of 2012 with companies in Japan, China, Indonesia and Turkey. Commercial revenue in the second quarter rose 29 percent year-on-year to 35.6 million pounds ($55 million).
    United has bought out its sponsorship deal with express delivery and freight firm DHL early in a bid to secure more cash for the rights to its training kit. The record 19-time English champions announced Thursday that a new eight-year deal had been agreed with a company that is yet to be announced.
    That revenue is helping United to maintain a competitive team, with salaries rising 14 percent to 44.2 million pounds between October and December.
    In July and August, United spent 29.5 million pounds ($47 million) on players, including midfielders Shinji Kagawa and Nick Powell, and the first of two payments to Arsenal for striker Robin van Persie.

    After today's results a win tomorrow is huge for the Champions League slot. Southampton at 56 points has 18 possible points left for a total of 74.

    A United win puts them at 65 points with a possible total of 83 points. I'll never say never this season but that seems pretty safe with the schedule after Chelsea

    Lol, you guys are getting top 4. City's schedule is much much easier after tomorrow so think you probably have to beat them to get automatic qualifying. We have @United and Chelsea but the other 4 should be wins.

    Yeah Chelsea are winning the league and Arsenal, City and United in some order will be 2-4.

    That race to avoid the CL playoff and relegation battle should be interesting
