| WOW!!! Wat a game .... united - arsenal games never fail to live up to the hype and this was one of the more intense encounters ive seen ... our defence was rock solid and it had to take a wonder strike from henry to beat it ... graham poll is a fukin prick ... that push on giggs by campbell was a clear penalty and had that been given i scheme we may have been able to take all 3 points ... fergie ed up by not starting with saha and he has to get rid of fletcher who plays like a schoolboy ... ON to the FA cup |

good game by both teams, lots of emotion but nothing got out of control... even the managers got in on it!
shove by campbell was a clear penalty from any angle, quite extraordinary that it wasn't given really...
one more thing, am i the only who thinks the tv camera angle at highbury is crap? can't follow a damn thing... |

Excellent game, although it didn't start until 1am here....
Very intense game, with lots of pressure, and it was thrilling until the final whistle.
Great strike from Henry, but the keeper really should have done better. He was off balance because he thought the ball was going the other way, but it swerved back and he was left stranded. I thought Henry had a good game, as usual, but did you see how pissed he was at the end when Lauren didn't pass? :haha: he was going nuts.
When Giggs got clipped by Campbell, it was just outside thebox, so it wasn't a penalty anyway. It should have been a free kick though.
I think the best players for the game were Thierry Henry, Robert Pires, Juan Antonio Reyes, Wes Brown, Ole Gunnar Solskaer and Louis Saha (for the time he was on).
Referee had a pretty average game....Scholes' yellow card near the start was a joke. Many other occasions where the decisions were dubious. However, i think he got it right with the penalty appeals.
Arsenal should have rapped up United.....they had some good oppurtunities, but they let them go and United got back into the game in the last 15 minutes through Ole Gunnar Solskaer, who should have come on much earlier in my opinion, since i rate him as United's best player.
Anyways, Congrats to Arsenal for equalling the record for most games unbeaten in a row with 30 games..... |

If Campbell on Giggs was a penalt, the Silvestre on Henry was definitely a penalty! referee I thought got them both right. Well done to both sides though, I thought Arsenal should have killed the game in second half after Henry's strike, but credit to Man U they fought well.
Bring on the Cup :D |

as stated before, it wasn't in the box for giggs, he just fell there to make it look like a penalty
and if you check replays, reyes was not offside when he was brought down by carroll, and imo that should've been a straight red card for the utd keeper for a professional foul & the game may have been different. However united never posed much of a threat unlike bolton & chelsea & other teams have done |
