Don't get outta your pram mate, blame the news presenters who said it, not me. :rolleyes:

Someone's a bit touchy tonight.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Good result for the lads, glad I had £1 on Ruud to score first ;)

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Feel dirty saying this.... but COME ON ARSENAL TOMORROW!

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

If the comments of an **** fan on their own message board is anything to go by then the game is Chelsea's

I just hope the team don't think the same way :rolleyes:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

For the few occasions where Henry has been unable to hit a cow's @rse with a banjo, why did he choose to be like that today of all days :(

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Football is more then the premiership title, arsenal are still in the champnions league and have to now fight for a top 4 spot so they will be in it next year. Plenty to play for.

Whenever United fans say that, we're told it's just an excuse to salvage what we can...:shrug:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I'd say for you, that's good. From Man U's point of view Arsenal losing is far more important than Chelsea losing.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Not really - Arsenal aren't a serious threat to the title this season so they could have won the game and I'd only have seen it as them leaving Chelsea closer to us.

Oh please, you obviously did not watch the game then Russ.

Henrys shot beat the keeper and the luck of the bounce off the post kept it out unlike Robbens which bounced in.

Following on from that if I made a mistake in my job like the linesman did in the Van Persie Goal I would be sacked ffs this rule needs looking at or the linesmen or assistant refereees or whatever they are called at least need to have a clue what the rule means.

Coles goal was nothing spectacular he pushed Lauren to the ground and the old man Campbell could do nothing and again it bounced in off the post.

The loss today means we have now lost three Premiership games in a row for the first time since March 1995, now I am not a stats man but I am betting thats not a record United can boast.

To use a United analogy we dont care about the Premiership it is about Europe now - not.

Chelski were lucky to get through 90 minutes with 11 players on the field as Essien knocked one of Laurens front teeth out but unlike he went down in pain but did not roll around on the floor like someone who had been shot.


Unlike 90% of United Fans who have never been to a home game I was there today in the clock end in a directors box with the benefit of several 42 inch plasma screens it the Van Persie legal goal was allowed to stand it would have been a different game.

Anyhows I am guessing the Arsenal would rather give Chelski another bought title rather than cushion Uniteds run to pinching it.

And nice to see the chosen ****** Mourinho build the press up before the game saying all of his recent outbursts against Wenger are forgotten and buried and he would shake hands.

Did he shake his hand no he did not as he still thinks he is above everyone else.

FFS he is a great manager but his attitude alone deserves a red card.

:D

I watched the game and van persie goal was onside, henry was offside which the linesman flagged for but didnt interfere with play, arsenal should have been in lead and it would have meant they then could have closed shop and it would be a different game. As always in football the team riding high tends to get the favourable big decisions in the match.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

enjoyed the first half and Arsenal were unlucky not to be winning.. the goal should have stood.. what is worse is why didn't the linesman say to the ref afterwards that he had flagged for Henry who never interferred with play so the goal could have stood

after the first goal felt Chelsea were in control.. wanted arsenal to win to help us out in the title race

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I had no choice BUT to watch it - was down my local :disturbd:

Did Henry have a couple of shots on target? Yep.

Did he put the ball in the back of the net? Nope. Therefore cow's @rse, banjo etc. Most unlike him of course.

Saying that, I was hoping and expecting Arsenal to win.

makes interesting reading.. there are a few articles on the site and should be doing a few more this week

apart from the money the thing i hated the most about the Bosman ruling was the loss of the 3+2 rule.. the clubs now have no identity with where they are from.. the Lisbon Lions would never have existed if this ruling was in place then

also we no longer need British managers as no Benitez, Wenger, Mourinho can come in and buy players they know from their local leagues
