BLUE MANCS UP NEXT

[1989]

What had Chamackh done to Wenger?

I don't see what Chamakh would've added to our game. He can't finish either, and we can't cross. He would've been useless.

Youre joking arent you?.He wouldnt have done better than that tosser Bender who cant head a ball or control a ball.

I wasn't an advocate for Bendtner's introduction either.

[Irish Gooner]

Well at least the Wenger apologists have their excuses to use again tonight about "anti football".

Look at a tape of us under Graham. I applaud City's defensive display, top class. They came for a draw and got it, fair play to them.
Wenger had 90 minutes to react, again failed in fact taking off our best attacker in Walcott for the back heeling circus act Arshavin.

The only consolation is we now know for sure this bunch of clowns won't win the league, United have it sewn up already and it's only January.

You'd rather watch the c**t Ferguson who would shoot his own mother in the back for a win and feel proud of it celebrate another trophy? Really?

What are blabbering about now Martin, were did I mention Ferguson?

Anyway fair play at least a post without the board mentioned.

You're happy City won't win the Premiership which means United probably we will because tonight probably had the same effect on us as City in terms of winning the League.

Though we clearly have the better chance as we have played only one more match than United, so if they slip up it seems we are best poised to truly take advantage.

Martin you seem to have misinterpreted what I've said. I'm far from happy that United will win the league, far from happy my friend. I detest them as much as any club including the scum and they have the most cuntish players known to many every year.

Ferguson might be a *word censored* though, but plain and simple I've grown to respect the man. He's probably the best manager most of us will ever see.

The fact is nice guys finish last, the Wenger of old was a man full of fire and never once backed down when opposing managers or players pushed the limits.

He once got a 12 match ban for flooring a 4th official and threatening him back in 2000.

Yet recently he has been mocked openly by mugs like Phil Brown, Allardyce, Tony Pulis, Mark Hughes, Martin O'Neill, Alex Mcgleish.

These mugs have walked all over him and the club, every season for the last 5 years. Wenger has never done anything about it, some might respect that, not me though.

Ferguson is a winner, pure and simple, he plays mugs like the list above for chumps, and they lick his arse while being taken for 6 points every year.

Thought we played well without getting any reward. On another night we'd've won.
I don't see how on the one hand folks are saying fair play to Citeh for parking the bus then with the other cursing Wenger for not winning us the game?

Citeh are a belligerent outfit. I think they've only conceded one goal against the top 5.

We tried but failed to get the win. We're only 4 points off the summit. It's not a disaster.

Every club has to do what is best for them.......citeeh came for a draw and played well in that capacity but we went for the win and it is up to wenger to negate citeeh's negativity (cant find another way of putting that tbh ) and I dont think wenger did enough to try and win the game. I suppose it is ridiculous even hoping that wenger can ever win us a game with his tactical acumen at this stage but we live in hope

United have a game in hand v Blackpool make that 7 behind

[QuartzGooner]

Always hard to beat defensive team, silver lining is that RvP looks sharp again, Theo was busy and passed well, should have stayed on, but once again we overplayed in final third.
Chelsea and Spurs falling away means it is a worthwhile point.

We beat them 3-0 at eastlands earlier in the season

Hmmm, cool, but I don't see how Wenger is at fault? We hit the post twice, RvP had a super effort saved, Wilshere had an effort smothered. Would Chamakh have made the difference? Not sure. Recently he's preferred to pass on a scoring opportunity than score himself.
We dominated, we were incisive, our goalie had nothing to do.
Citeh have conceded only 16 goals in the league.

It seems we're looking for anyone to point the finger at. Why? We're still in the mix.
Exciting times ahead.

BUt again how much does tactical acumen mattermore than the team who isent to play the tactics. On ESPN over Stave McManaman said striaght there is no comparison between the side now and in 2004. I think that you could pretty much say that every year since 2006. I think Mr. Wenger was the same manager he uis now then warts and all but if you have the ambition to pout better players at his disposal you will get better results.

When Ferguson was signing "new stars" like Kleberson and Djemba-Djemba and David Bellion and Cristaino Ronaldo was still just mere potential (where have I heard that before?) people were saying the very same things about Ferguscunt on United Boards as they are are saying about Mr. Wenger on our Boards now. Believe it they did. Red Cafe is a favorite to read still for the matchday threads just to see 50 straight posts featuring the word fuck in some manner after an opponent's goal .

So this is not some new phenomenon really. The talent you have has a bit to do with the trajectory of your career I think.

Sorry i meant the rest of the top 5.

[Its Up 4 Grabs Now]

Cant really fault the players tonight (bar the subs), it was comfortably one of our best performances of the season. But the substitutions were a complete joke. Bendtner for Wilshere was bad enough on it’s own, but to then have Bendtner playing out wide as if he’s gonna create anything? If you’re gonna bring him on at least stick him up front with RVP & use him to his (sort of) strengths, otherwise what was the point of taking off a player who actually can create? Any fluency & momentum we had went out the window with Wenger’s subs.

Credit where it’s due I thought Song was genuinely outstanding tonight. Dunno if someone’s had a word but he’s seemed much more selective in his forays forward in his last 3 games. Thought we were better tonight than at Eastlands when we won 3-0, even though it counts for little in the end.

[Iceman29]

The posters on this forum are very experienced to know better when referring to the FA Cup. When you play like that in a cup tie, you're actually giving yourself a chance to win through a replay or via penalties. Its all about live today and fight tomorrow in a cup tie. When you play like that in a league game, you're playing not to win and that is a massive, massive difference

IF they win at Blackpool... then we can't really point to this result for that. There have been worse home performances this season.
WBA or Scum anyone??

Still, tonight's result wasn't a disaster.
