The Slump Continues at Man U

A challenging game against nosiy neighbours and rivals Manchester City couldn't lift the spirits of the soulless United as they went down fighting 2-1 to a 2nd weakened City team.

United came into match upbeat but were soon brought back to earth as they slumped to their 7th loss of the season.

Boss JM is still adamant that it is early days, but lets be honest, 8th spot is a likley finish at this point.

"I am bitterly disappointed with this result." JM Spoke after the game (Picture left inset) "We fought hard but luck wasn't with us again today.

I am still extremely confident we can come back and be a force this season."

Meanwhile across town at Chelsea, blues boss SB (picture right) is riding a wave of success at the club this season. After starting strong, they currently sit comfortably in 3rd and are challenging leaders Tottenham for top spot.

Some might say this is SB's best chance of claiming that elusive first title in England.

Let's not forget however - it's a long season.
