I am in the mood to kick heads in. :twisted:

Not only are the officials blatantly on the side of the Manc bastards, so are the commentators! Anyone else notice them only get interested in the game when it was 2-1? "United always find the way to win", "Once again we see United..." fuck off. And all this first name basis stuff with red-nosed sir-drunkard is a complete *****.

Look at the cards! Not saying we weren't deserving of some of those, but please, the stuff they got away with! Carrick on Eboue early in the first half, blatant kick, well above the shin. No! Accidental they say!

The penalty, well, we knew that was coming didn't we? I was waiting for the chance, as soon as they got the ball in the box I was expecting it, even if our players breathed too heavily around the precious princess of England Mr Rooney. He had no hope in hell of getting that ball, and yet Arshavin cuts back in the first half, is blatantly brought down, and has any appeal waved away. :banghead:

And what was this farce with Wenger at the end? Some pedantic, smart arsed nobody of a fourth official wants his mug on tv and name in the paper so makes a big deal of nothing. I tell you, more than a bottle would have been kicked if I were there! :x

And Berbatov. :lol: You Bulgarian piece of ex-spud scum. :lol:

And as for our team...I don't want to go into it. Everything was perfect! I can't be too harsh, but Diaby...seriously...it was a good game for him apart from that.

None of our substitutes were particularly inspiring. Harsh on Ramsey but he was the worst of them. Begs the question though, when the Mancs have international level players to come in and change the game, how can a young bloke be expected to do the same in that kind of pressure situation?

Very unlucky.


We lost the game, they didn't win.

Think of it logically, if we play the rest of the season like we played today" outside of the penalty and the stupid OG" we WILL win the league. We totally outplayed MU created all the chances and were very unlucky. The only time MU looked like scoring was in the last few minutes when we were throwing everyone forward.


Al I can say is

yeah but still rooney charged at the ball with no intention of controling it, he just tried to get to it first with it then flying out the stadium so it wouldn't of created a goalscoring chance but still went down like a pile of shit when he felt mooney
Listen mate, there is not one striker in the whole of Europe who would not have waited for contact when a crazy keeper comes hurtling out like that!!

Always the fucking smae up there. Outplay them, take the lead and get shat on by the ref who always finds a way to get them back into the game. As for the commentators, why in God's namea re they allowed to get away with their anti-Arsenal bias and Manc-loving shit. Fuck them all . We are The Arsenal. Siege mentality, us against the rest like it should always be. Our club, our boys, through thick and thin.

Hard to say Rooney dived beacuse Almunia made it so fucking easy for him. At least Boruc had the sense to pull his hands away when he realised Eddie was going nowhere. Not our boyband's dad. He's not Arsenal class.

I think our midfield will be special in three to four years. That's only half-sarcastic. We are missing a quality defensive player in the middle for these lads to develop around.

I thought the ref started well but then dished out far too many yellows. Disgraceful rejection of a penalty on AA. Diaby had a muppet moment but was otherwise ok; Almunia should have taken the non-existent problem of where to head the ball away from him though.

These lads play for eachother now. There was no-one being carried. I hope we pick ourselves up from this and sneak in a great addition before the transfer deadline to give everyone (us included) that extra boost.

Right.
I am so disappointed. Til the pen I was sure we´ll win it.
  • Will AW finally wake up and sign 2-3 top players? The squad is not big and not strong enough!!!
  • There will be injured players all the time. What if Gallas or Vermaelen will get injured?
  • Did Bendtner make an impact in this game or the others? No! So we need better players to come off the bench.
  • AA23 is world class. But he must get on a fitness level where he can go the pace for 90 min


There are too many questions.
The majority of the squad is good enough to compete for the championship, but we need more top class to go without relying on players like Diaby or Eboue.

I forgive you. Sometimes you just have to take a defeat on the chin. I am pissed off, but I thought we played okay today, especially with the players that are missing. We were very unlucky today.

Oh, and another thing. When Rooney slid across Bendtner for absolutely no reason towards the end...I think Bendtner should have kept going after the ball, stepped on the bastard's head.

If his best mates in the commentary business want to big him up as a great, brave Englishman then lets see how he goes getting a few staples in his head to finish the game off. :twisted:

Cheers mate. No offence - just lashing out. RAM has summed it up perfectly I think. (edit - in his first post particularly)

edit - and Perry
