Get in! Arsehole Wenger, will probably say that

obviously the penalty wasn't saved,

Thierry Henry has not lost form,

Reyes is god in human form,

it was Wigan's "rough-house" tactics that everyone applies against Arsenal away from the safety of Highbury a ground now shrinking size to suit Henry's intricate passing,

Roberts fouled the goalkeeper, as did everyone else,

Referees have it in for Arsenal,

the sven row has unsettled his players (all of one of his english players)

Paul Jewell was pulling faces at him in the technical area,

a bird distracted Alumina wahen Roberts scored,

The central heated chairs in the dugout failed

Reyes lost a glove

Jose mourinho was pulling faces at him in the stands

the ball was not round enough

the referee did not see the 450 offences that Arsene a trained referee saw from the comfort of the dugout

Roman Abramovich has destroyred the backbone of the english game

Roberts was offside when he scored

but Arsenal are more entertaining in loss than wigan in victory


and blah, blah, blah

but you have gone form a position of more or less total dominance to no title in three years - that's not a transition, that's making a hash of things.

Arsenal have never reached the heights united did, or had anything aproaching their financial dominance.

That said they have made a bit of balls up too these last couple of years.

I think Terry will leave.

This close season the Arse will have their work cut out just maintaining a team that can purely challenge for CL qualification.

Seriosuly, I look at them and think they may well be ******.

And it pleases me.

Well true we havent won the league, but we have had to reform the united side, and its almost there, were not crap, were just 2nd.

Perpsective, a hash of thing is what Arse are right now, 2nd is 2nd. im ok with things, i fully belive we will have the extra strength in midfield next season, as in 2 super duper midfielders, and we can challange properly.

Id rather be united then Arse right now

Wooooooooo!

Finally a Villa result worth celebrating, a draw with Chelski, and I like how we are now learning to move out of our own half and attacking (at least that is what I think you call it haven't seen it for a while)

and big red alex saying Blackburn won without playing any football, methinks a bizarre quote, one of bentley's goals was a stunner! Just goes to show though, rio good in midfield against a div 1 club, not so good against average premiership club.

oh and can we have a whip round to keep souness in a job, love what he's doing at newcastle. Lol!

Campbell's rapid decline is really satisfying me right now.

Going home at half time to sulk after he played dog**** (again) but infront of Svennis this time... What a ****!

Bentley's second was goal of the season in my eyes.

Rio was comedy gold last night. The look on his face after Bentley's second. The intimidating-the-linesman glare after the penalty was given. The sullen grumpy World Staring Championship misery after his second yellow.

Gold, I say. Gold!
Grrr. Argh.

Rio is possibly the most knobish footballer on the park these days.

altho Joey Barton is currently doing his best to claim second place.

Fair play to Blackburn, they are a solid proposition this season.

we frigging need to beat villa at the weekend...

First person ever to scorea hat trick against Man U at old trafford (i think?) and they 'weren't playing football' - dick.

Blackburn beat Manchester at home yesterday. :)

Ronaldo scored hat trick against United few years ago in Champions League, IIRC. Or were you talking Prem only?

Are there still people who say Premiershp is boring and predictable this season? I mean, none of the top seven teams won in this gameweek... ;)

The stat Jonathan "annoying ****" Pearce was throwing about on commentary was "first player to score a hat-trick in a Premiership match between Blackburn and Man Utd"

Which struck me as a bloody odd statistic to have to hand, if I'm honest...
Grrr. Argh.

Sol's losing it - The Arse omitted him from training and the squad to face Birmingham - couldn't happen to a bigger **** if you ask me!

From the Brain of Ruud Van Nistelroy:

"Blackburn did not get one chance in the first-half, yet they scored three goals."


mmmm, might be where the problem is, Fergie is lending the whole team his spare rose tinted glasses

To be fair, Blackburn's first half goals all came from nothing.

Great freekick prodded home on rebound. Wank defending. Daft handball.

Forth was impressive finishing from a well worked move, but afaic it was only a half chance as well.

Blackburn didnt have much in the first half, and united came back well but couldnt find the draw, it was an exciting game to watch.

Poor Rio, gone from the hero agaist pool with a goal line clearance and a winning header to a bizzare back header that gave blackburn the lead - followed by a dubious penlty...

Thats the fun about United, we have interesting games of football, essentially we make them fun for both teams! :lol:

Isn't the mark of a great team that they can win even when they play badly?

By Fergie's logic, Blackeye are the greatest team evah!

I like that Campbell joke, heard it, didn't realise it was from the fiver since my work email cocked emails from the guardian off.

So, Sol has a 'personal problem' eh?

I hope it's that he's blamed for Diana's death, then everybody will hate him, not just us.

Interesting to see people saying that Campbell has a 'serious personal issue' he has to deal with. There have been rumours about his sexuality for years....probably started by bitter Spurs fans though! :D
