If people wanna moan about dodgy penalty decisions with Arsenal they need look no further than good ol' Pires last season against Portsmouth, where if that was awarded as a penalty this unbeaten run would have been finished in single figures
Van Nistelrooy is in trouble for the stamp on cole.... this could be a 5 match ban if the FA do the right thing, ex ref jeff winter was just on sky sports news and he was so right in what he said, this could've done serious damage.. infact i thought cole had broken a bone in his foot with it also. seems united want to kick their way through teams now cos they know in a fair game Arsenal (and chelsea) are better teams now. The treatment Reyes got from the Nevilles was awful also, and even if they should have had 1 penalty, the Rio incident would have changed the match, it was a sending off, and I'd put money on it that Riley would've seen Toure or whoever off had it been the other way round... that guy is a joke and the sooner he's sacked as a ref the better

Oh no, another year, another Man U-Arsenal controversy...
Anyways, here's my take on several of the flash-points:
1) RVN should get a suspension for almost breaking Cole's leg in two. Nothing really justifies that in a game.
2) From the ref's point of view the Rooney penalty was a clear one (I think they showed replays from his angle and you cant blame the ref for that). What the hell was Campbell doing sticking his leg out like that anyways? It was an open invitation that anyone in the world would have taken. Having said that all you Arsenal dopes (no offence, Man U supporters are dopes too) seem to turn a blind eye to when players like Pires go for Olympic gold.
3) Reyes' rough treatment was nothing out of the ordinary. The Arsenal players knew what they were in for and they simply didn't show up at times. This was never going to be a tea party. Again, it seems a blind eye is cast every time Ronaldo is scythed down.
So there you have it. Soccer is about swings and turns. What goes around comes around. Without that Pires penalty last year they would never have had this unbeaten run so it is only fair in the grand scheme of things that another non-existent penalty ended it.

However, those people crying out saying its a disgrace only need to look to the fixture last season when Ruud got jumped upon by Keown, Toure and the like. Only that time people just said, ah well its only united. Now its like Arsenal are some fair play team. Christ if i didnt see Viera wearing an Arsenal shirt yesterday id mistake him for being the ref seen as he was at his side so much. |
Had to end sometime and absolutely no shame in losing to United, even though they are the scum. Pitty such a good game was decided by such a poor referee decision, but hey, its been an amzing 18 month ride and credit definitely to Arsenal as I think to go 49 games unbeaten in a league, which is as physical as the English league is a credit in itself.
Arsenal Players including Wenger could also expect suspension from the episode after game...(if it's true)
It just sucks that people are not giving credit where it is due. Clearly Wenger is a manager who has never been gracious in defeat and has never blamed the players for losses. If he looks back at his disciplinary record, arsenal under his reign have over 50 sending offs which holds the record over any club in europe by a long shot. He also forgets that he has a player in his team by the name of Robert Pires whose diving antics have come under scrutiny several times in the past. Seriously last year, he would have fallen if a fly landed on his leg and yet wenger bitches and whines over on dubious call evne though 2 goals were scored and arsenal did not have a single clear attempt on goal. Bottom line is he cant accept the fact that it was manchester united that beat him and i dont think he will be able to rest until the next game at highbury in the spring.
haha
Pascal Cygan has to go! what are we thinking starting with the slowest and most erratic central defender in the league

Its also a great pity that wenger has to accuse Nistelrooy of being a cheat, when half his squad do the same thing. In that game i saw arsenal players stamp on people with studs, but no one picked it up. I also saw arsenal players crowed the referee every time a decision went against them, they were like cry babies. Viera was virtually superglued to the referee all the time. Edu performed so many fouls and got away with it. Arsenal really played shit, and apart from a few efforts running into our area, really didnt do anything that would have made them worthy winners of the game.
Well we won the fair play league last year im pretty sure. Our card record is no where near arsenal. And that comment is rather misdirected, as most teams at some point in their time are guity of unsportsman like behaviour. Arsenal are always the first to dish it out, but dont like it when it comes back to bite them.
I had a lot of respect for arsenal before they went on their 49 game run, they seem to get more arrogant and two faced than ever before. Arsenal supporters are the same, the proper ones will still act decently, and say that it was better than the run ended at old trafford rather some bottom of the table struggler.

| Originally posted by D.Edge ^^^ yeah yeah, as if Fergie and Man Utd were the epitome of fair play in their era of dominance. i think Justin Hoyte should be given a chance in place of Cygan. he could well prove himself like Ashley Cole did. |

... do you even bother following any football outside of Manc? You probs don't even live there anyway... http://www.thefa.com/Features/Engli...al_FairPlay.htm ... - you should find that it was in fact Arsenal. And our fans won the equivalent league for the supporters - just goes to show what a great club we are
Well firstly, i go to the university of wales, bangor, which is just down the road from manchester, so i do get the opportunity to go to game. And i also said i think man u won it. The hit home message is that you lost at old trafford, and you were so used to being elitest that when you finally lost, it was to hard to take.
The run should have ended ages ago. Fair enough fergie is a bit hot tempered, but one man against your whole squad who have temper tantrums every time something goes against you.

That was a cool game. Spurs deserved a tie. But that's football. Good game by both squads.
In local derbies, I couldn't care less about how we play - the important thing is getting the points. They're a different type of game
In commemoration of the gunners crapping out a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester United on Saturday, I'm making this the thread for all thing Arsenal 
That loss against Man U was terrible. 
^ And lol at your avatar, I've watched "I'm on Setanta Sports"
Jose is hilarious.

o god what a retarded way to drop 2 points.
Gallas , I feel you homie.
p.s. I wish Eduardo the best, that was just gross 
I just seen a picture of the eduardo injury there.
if he ever plays football again I'll be very surprised.
It's a real shame, wish him all the best.
