Manchester United are a machine. No matter how much pressure is applied they just seem to get better.
Everybody wants to play for them. Maybe Cristiano Ronaldo's tantrum didn't look too good, but you've got to admire his desire to win that Golden Boot. He can't do that while he's sat on the bench.
There's no chance of them throwing the title away now, even though they've got to play Arsenal.
Ronaldo: the greatest player ever?
To be honest, Arsenal won't even be a tricky game because they just want the season to end. Their players want to get out of here and re-group over the summer.
At the moment Arsenal are a million miles behind. They found out in midweek they are nowhere near as good as Manchester United and then on Sunday they found out they're quite a way behind Chelsea too.
As long as he stays at Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson keeps him at his top level, then we are witnessing the best player of all time.
Chris Kamara
Quotes of the week
Arsenal are clearly ahead of the other 16 teams in the Premier League, but the experience, the know-how and the quality just isn't as good as the teams above them.
Which Arsenal players would get into the United, Chelsea or Liverpool sides?
Maybe Cesc Fabregas, but he wouldn't be able to play in his current position behind the striker in any of those teams.
It's going to be difficult for Arsene to reshape that football club. They are close, but there are two or three ingredients missing.
Kammy's Picks of the Week
GAME - Manchester United 2-0 Manchester City
It was a tricky game for United, but you wouldn't know it the way it turned out. Carlos Tevez had a point to prove, Darren Fletcher was a wonderful engine for them and when you looked at the bench and saw Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes, John O'Shea and Michael Carrick they had so many options. I was very impressed.
PLAYER - Carlos Tevez
There was a lot of pressure on him following all of the newspaper stories about him wanting to leave. In days gone by he wouldn't have been near the team, but Sir Alex understands the need for freedom of speech, picked him and demanded a performance. He certainly gave him one.
TEAM - Stoke City
They secured their safety after a tricky game away at Hull City. For them to have survived with two games to go is absolutely incredible when you condsider how many people were writing them off early on. Tony Pulis gets so much out of his players and the organisation is just tremendous.
GAFFER - Sam Allardyce
He got his team safe as well. They're up on 40 points so they can't be caught. Once again he has sorted them out with organisation and sticking to a game plan. They lost Jason Roberts and Roque Santa Cruz, but instead of panicking and changing the system he put Christopher Samba up there and he had an influence on the win over Portsmouth.
GOAL - Liam Lawrence
It was a great goal from a player that's got bags of ability. Whenever you speak to people about Stoke they tend to tar them with the same brush and talk about Rory Delap's long throws, but the skilful players like Ricardo Fuller and Liam Lawrence don't get the credit they deserve.
SAVE - Dean Kiely
There were some wonderful performances from goalkeepers this weekend. Jussi Jaaskelainen made some good saves and Sunderland's Marton Fulop made a really good save to deny Bolton. But Dean Kiely was outstanding for West Brom and I'll give it to him for his double save against Wigan.
GRIPE - Portsmouth's penalty
To be honest, the referees had a relatively decent weekend. The only dodgy decision was in the Blackburn game when Mike Riley gave a penalty against Keith Andrews, even though it was virtually impossible for him to get out of the way. In the end it made no difference because John Utaka put it miles over.

RONALDO RESPECT
Ronaldo... Typical... If that is professional then he is being paid too much money for setting an example to children. He knew that the cameras were on him and clearly showed dissent towards his manager and the faith in the ability of his fellow players. It's in his make up, he wants to be the centre of attention and it shows. He needs to grow-up, if he wants to see how it is done, let him come and watch our Under10's at AFC ROSEHILL in Carshalton they know how to behave, they have heard of the RESPECT campaign... has Ronaldo? Thanks, Bolty in Carshalton...
KAMMY SAYS: It's easy to forget how young Ronaldo is. Maybe in three or four years time when he's got a bit more experience he won't react like that. He wanted to stay on and try to score more goals to win the Golden Boot, but Sir Alex quickly diffused the situation because he knows he needs his star player on his side.
For me he is the best player in the world and possibly even the best player I have ever seen. Even Lionel Messi can't do some of the things he can do; Messi can't score goals with his head or free kicks from 30 yards and he hasn't got the pace that Ronaldo has got. I think he is the complete footballer.
Diego Maradona was a wizard and Pele was a genius, but there's things that Ronaldo has that even they didn't have. As long as he stays at Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson keeps him at his top level, then we are witnessing the best player of all time. He'd be an absolute mug to leave that club.
ARSENE SPENDER
Seeing Nicolas Anelka score against Arsenal made me think of the times that Arsenal were one of the biggest clubs and were a team that nobody wanted to play. Losing 4-1 is a disgrace. We need a new defence that has experience not youth. Where do you think Arsene Wenger should strengthen in the summer? Joe Mccallister 
KAMMY SAYS: As I mentioned earlier, there are a couple ingredients missing in the Arsenal team. One is somebody who can tackle and the other is experience and leadership. Arsenal's football gets lots of plaudits and I'm sure that philosophy won't change, but they need to compete more and become harder to beat.
We saw the importance of experience on Sunday. From Alex to Terry to Lampard to Essien to Drogba, Chelsea had it all over the pitch. Yes, the future looks rosy for Arsenal, but how long can you wait? The other sides aren't going to experiment; they are going to keep buying the best players. Arsene Wenger is a genius and he has achieved some wonderful things, but he does need some senior players there. The reason why he was successful originally was because of the experience of guys like Tony Adams, Steve Bould, Ian Wright and Dennis Bergkamp. It seems strange they have moved away from that as much as they have.

I like how some people are saying 'Kammy does't know what he's talking about' or 'Kammy, are you an idiot?' I'm only 16 but I am a big football fan and totally agree with Kammy.. after all, he is the professional who's getting paid for this, not just a clown like all you plastic mancs :)

Craig C (Manchester City fan) says...
if every team had a single one player taking EVERY free kick, EVERY penalty, despite whether their other team mates would like a go. and to spend the whole game just wondering around upfront and wait for the ball and do nothing else but that. then maybe there would be more competition for the golden boot than just ronaldo...or is it just me? i remember in the game against porto in the champions league ronaldo actually injured carrick tackling him for the ball! his own player! to take the ball off of him! are you sure this is the best player in the world? and how often does ronaldo actually get passed a player with all his step overs he does? hardly ever! thats why his goals are from set pieces almost every time!!

I agree with Kevin. It is a love hate relationship with Ronaldo. Sometimes I dont think he give enough of effort to united. Specially when he looses the ball. I have never seen united player just stand there after they loose the ball. Even Berbatov chase back to get back the ball. But the only thing that still makes me to like him is that he is brilliant when he is on the ball. He have scored some important goals for united this season. I can understand why so many people hate. If he was not playing in a red shirt I will probably hate him also.

Ronaldo may score a few goals, but can he cross as well as Nicky Summerbee? I think not...

Jeremy Dullman you really need to re-think your comment, Kammy is yet again spot-on. Ronaldo needs to improve his temprement but aside from that he is by far and away the most complete player i have seen in my 32 years as an avid football fan. I echo my fellow Utd fans comments that with fans like Mr Dullman who needs enemies?

I think Arshavin would easily fit into the Man utd team, in fact he would be far more effective than bebatov and would compliment rooney and ronaldo with ease.What a bargain at £15 mill.

Kevin Annonymous (Manchester United fan) says...
Im sory mr. Kamara but i have to disagree. Wit Ronaldo its like a lovehate relationship, u see him do sumting brilliant nd u love him, u see his body language and the way he conducts himself on and off the pitch it makes u feel bitter but as a Manchester United fan nd d hype and propoganda is starting to annoy me that Ronaldo is the "best player of all time" i mean cmon hes still not done enough for me as a fan to even put him in my top 5 United players ever.Ronaldo for me anyway has to stop being a brat and offer some degree of loyalty to be compared to people like George Best, sir Bobby Charlton, Eric Cantona and even Ryan Giggs, maybe Beckham also who are the type of players i wud associate with as being true legends of the game. At the moment the best players at this football club not in terms of ability or individualism but in the respect of what they offer to the team and the football club and not to the camera and not media propaganda i wud have to go with Vidic and Rooney. Dont get me wrong, as United fan i too am guilty of, and understand why we worship him bcause of his talent(possibly the best in the world right now) and it is hard not to adore but as United fans we have to look at the bigger picture and see that the man( a footballing genius aswell) is a liability to the club as he seems to be showing blatant lack of respect to Manchester United football club at the moment and publicly and deliberatly shows lack of respect to our manager and maybe even contempt to have to play at old trafford. Possibly we are misinterperating it but it is unacceptable behaviour. The player is nowhere near as big as the club and im only happy to see him wearing a united shirt and sing his name If he changes his attitude and if he just gets over imself and the real madrid situation nd gets on with his career.He shud atleast honour his contract at the club for 1 more yr and den he can get his "dream move" and rot at Madrid.

Adam Smith (Manchester United fan) says...
As great of player as Messi is it is forgotten that he plays in a less difficult league than that of the English and the big question mark is still over his head whether he can play against the top English teams. Ronaldo undoubtedly deserves player of the year in my view he can do all that Messi can do and more such as hit freekicks, score headers and perform in the big games. Although I think that who ever wins the champions league will decide player of the year. No player can be critisized either for wanting to play as much as possible its brilliant to see the players determination and drive. Id much prefer to see what Ronaldo did than what berbatov does on the pitch every week, which is nothing.

Kawa Doski (Manchester United fan) says...
Messi can play incredible football but not againt english teams he has played 10 times against an english team and hasnt scored once. just like his performance against chelsea. this shows that the premier league is the harder league and that the top 2 teams would easily dominate in spain. if they play their game.

S H (Manchester United fan) says...
You dont have to look past ronaldo's natural ability to know that he is one of the greats. As soon as he came on to the pitch professionally, in a united shirt or not, he influenced the game. his pace, his stamina, his attacking instinct and his striking ability all add up (with other factors) together to form a perfect player attribute-wise. Fair enoguh, his attitude needs a bit of a change, but he is still developing. Finally, Jeremy Ullmann, anybody with half a brain can work out that ronaldo is the best players in the world. Messi is fantastic, but to carry an injury for the last few games of a season, and score as many goals as he did, then to come back after an operation and become the best league in the worlds top scorer, i dont think Walcott could do that, i dont think messi could do that either, do you honestly?

Which Arsenal players would get into a United, Chelsea, or Liverpool side???? MAYBE CESC?!?! You're a fool....OR you just listen to what everyone else says about Arsenal and go with that. Any one of those teams would take Cesc, ARSHAVIN, Theo, or Clichy in a heartbeat. You think Cesc's position is right behind the striker? That he likes it there? Where do i start.....?

I just love how all you man u fans think that you are on the same league as us liverpool fans, come on now... you are about to equal one of our records which has taken you long enough . I mean in the last twenty years we haven,t really had the same money as you have had and we haven,t really had a regular manager . The reason all you man u fans are the way you are is because you dont really appreciate football all you understand is what that old woman misses fergerson has taught you and in all fairness thats not much , lets look at it for example you dont have a clue about football you are bad losers anyway the old mans time has come and gone just like your diving queen hell be in europe before you know i ,, and to all the gunners sorry you didnt do the buisness against that shower of rubbish

Why is it that only attacking players are considered to be the best in the world? Rio Ferdinand is by far the best defender in the world but is lucky to be even nominated for individual awards.

I think you can put Ronaldo up there as one of the greats maybe the greatest when you think he is only 24 and his peak is still to come. When you look for the greatest of all time many considerations need to be made and certainly Ronaldo ticks more boxes than any other player I can think of....he¿s strong, fast, skillfull, has great determination along with being an excellent striker of the ball and I should also mention he is the best freekick taker and probably the most dangerous player from corners in the premier league, as he does score vast amounts of goals with his head. sure there are other player past and present that can rival and are better than Ronaldo in certain areas casing point Messi is a better dribbler and can beat a man with more ease than Ronaldo does but overall I would say Ronaldo is a more effective player. lastly I think you cannot compare the modern footballer to the legends of the game. Football has evolved alot since then and the player evolve and get better to, this is because training methods improve along with tactics diet etc lets not forget the advances in pitch and ball technology.

Jeremy Ullman- WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!? how can you say Ronaldo has 'not an ounce of the natural talent messi has' what kind of manchester united fan are you?? certainly not one that has a clue, i cant stand all these people going on about messi being better than ronnie ABSOLUTE RUBBISH in the last few years ronaldo has won the premiership, champions league, all the basic cups in England,the world club championship, best player in the world award,WHAT MORE DO YOU PEOPLE NEED,Jeremy Ullman- what has messi won in comparison to ronaldo the last few years?? yes i know ronaldo can be a sulk and a moan and he annoys me aswell sometimes but that aside he is fantastic,messi cant match ronaldo's pace,power,free kick,long range shot on the run, abilty to score from a header, il give messi the slightly better ball control but THATS IT,anybody claiming otherwise is an idiot,kammy has it spot on thats why sky sports PAY HIM for his comments he knows what he's on about,Jeremy Ullman we dont want you as a fan why dont u buy a barca top and move to spain???

You have to admit Wengers policy is a noble one but its total fantasy. Undoudted talent within that squad but where are the great leaders? Where are the players who have been there and can pass their knolwdge and skills to the younger genration. Wenger seems to have an obsession with trying to prove he can play beautiful football with nothing more than youngsters. Well you can't knock the style of football but they are becoming an almost club. The big 4 is in danger of becoming the big 3 unless he starts to put some silverware in the trophy cabinate. Oh and as for Ronaldo. No question he is a great player but the greatest ever player? Don't make me laugh

David O rourke (Manchester United fan) says...
As a United fan there is only a handful of players I can say are better that Ronaldo at this moment in time. Steven Gerrard is without doubt the most complete footballer i have ever seen, I cant believe he hasn't won European or World player of the year yet. Iniesta & Xavi are pure quality. Small, nimble,intelligent, accurate; sublime footballers. These are the players who should be getting all the headlines. Of course Messi too. My top 5 would be Gerrard, Iniesta, Messi, Xavi & Ronaldo. I never hear or see Kaka!! He needs to get out of Italy. Cesc & Wazza also class.

How can you say Ronaldo has no left foot, and Messi is devastating with his right foot. Messi is one of the most one-footed players i've seen along with Robben.

Mark Talbot (Arsenal fan) says...
The moment that brought home how bad the Arsenal team has come was when the Sky cameras panned over to our bench during the CPL Semi 2nd leg, we were 2-0 down and we had the choice of Denilson, Bendtner, Adebayour, and 2 other kids in there push chairs....none of them are match winners, the only good thing coming from Adebayour signing a new contract last year is we can sell him for more this summer! Also how has Denilson managed to play more games than any other Arsenal player....he is to weak for the role he is supposed to play, i can't believe we let Gilberto and Flamini go and replace them with Denilson??? Like already said we need a tough tackling Central Defender, a CM who will do the simple things like win the ball back, hold it up and pass it on and a true striker to partner RVP. The time has come to stop playing kids, I for one along with many other fans have had enough, I pay good money to watch.....i dont expect to go from winning and contending every year to being bulldozed. I don't mind losing to Man U / Chelsea every now and again as it is inevitable, you cant win every game against the other big boys but when you get bullied by Stoke and Hull then there is something seriously wrong. Come on Wenger, wake up and smell the coffee...stop deluding yourself as we can all clearly see kids (especially our ones) will not win anything! Oh and Ronaldo could become one of the greatest players ever (not the greatest as that accolade belongs to Pele) if he stops diving, stops stressing and just plays football.

Yes Ronaldo is a diver, and it is the worst thing to see in football. But what team does not have a player in it that dives. Most players do. He plays to win and to score. Whether or not he's the best player who cares, I always love to see him shoot.
