United only won by a large margine, because they played QPR. Wait till they play bigger sides.

No disrespect QPR, but you didn't have quality today. You just fell apart

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Top 4 problems. Try being bottom of the league supporting the worst trained team in premier league history... From start till now. I've never seen a team so poorly trained. Set pieces, defending and God only knows what next. It's just shameful really. Scout talent the world over and bring them in to be trained by the clowns at Newcastle. You have a manager that won't quit, an owner without a tongue and situations so dire you have to play a 4-6 formation.

The Sunderland riot incident was a mess and that's when pardew had a backing. Now he's lost the fans I dread to think some of the things we could witness this season at home. It will be a dark time for Newcastle and Football. How long can they keep it up without causing riots?

By far the worst performance that l have seen by an Arsenal team. Why, didn't Wenger take of Welbeck THREE GOLDEN CHANCES, and he fluffed each one.

Terrible game from Arsenals view. There can be no excuses from Wenger after this performance.

At least they are in the Champions League unlike some so called big club in London.

Why cant some fans accept that Arsenal, were crap tonight. Arsenal are a team of pride and passion. Such as Spurs.

But accept it. Tonight Arsenal were rubbish. No wonder Man Utd sold Welbeck, golden misses.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Arsenal go through these periods all the time to be fair and always seem to recover and qualify for Europe. A better way of looking at tonight is simply saying the better team won. Bayern and Borrusia are far superior than United, Arsenal and Liverpool at the minute with the exception of Chelsea and City. Chelsea for the champions league in my opinion, striker problem solved and they just look plain unstoppable. I remember a time you would always tip United, Liverpool and Arsenal to smash the best Europe could offer... Madrid received a few absolute spankings back in the day but we currently lack a top 4 that are tipped to go all the way. Few years back you'd tip any of the 4 English lot to win it.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I just read this story. Astonishing. And no, it almost certainly isn't enough anymore. Arsenal fans also pay the highest ticket prices and their manager is the best paid, apparently in the world. Wenger has a 3 year contract and needs to deliver some serious silverware in that time.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The top clubs are adjusting their wage structure...putting more money to bonus payments rather than weekly (monthly, whatever) salary. Mainly as bonus payments don't count towards ffp. Bigger risk for the players, but no doubt compensated by bigger bonuses.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The story does refer to wage bill, so I don't know if that means total including salary and bonuses, but even if it doesn't I think my point stands - Wenger must now deliver trophies.

Re: Football Season 2014/15

More from the BBC

Just a reminder of Louis van Gaal's quotes from the other day:
"I know everything about the team [Leicester], about individuals, substitutes, what the atmosphere will be like in the stadium, how they take free-kicks, everything."
Did he know that Jamie Vardy would tear his defence apart?

Gareth, Watford: Man United are turning into everyone's favourite second team. Score and concede loads of goals, involved in great games and a threat to absolutely no one.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

You can't knock Leicester, they had everything to play for and never gave up but that awful penalty shout played a part, you could see even the ref knew he'd made the wrong call.

Nobody suggested United were back to their best after getting new players, it's a re-building exercise and I still reckon we'll be top 4 this season.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Good game at OT today, hanging on a bit at the end . Can't understand why Rooney got a straight red though. His tackle was a cynical 'professional'foul which TBH I would always like to see punished with a straight red but what is the criteria if there is one. It was the first foul that he had committed, it wasn't two footed or in any way dangerous, he was deep in his own half so not denying a goal scoring opportunity. Only ten, fifteen minutes later a Hammers player committed an absolutely identical foul and only got a yellow. :confused: Makes me think that if it had been anyone but Rooney the ref wouldn't have been as quick to show the red, he fired it up in an instant without thinking about it for a second.:rolleyes:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes, refs are a lot quicker to give decisions against United at OT now SAF can't touch them although I can't have many complaints after seeing Rooney's challenge again a few times.

Still it's not all bad news, chances are it'll give Mata a good run out and the chance to show why he ought to play more. Either that or a good window dressing exercise for January.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Martin Oliver, l believe ruined an excellent North London derby. Why give the Spurs player a yellow card for putting his hand up to his ear.

I feel that referee's want to make a name for themselves. Too many bookings, too much whistle ruined a brilliant derby.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The two challenges were very different, Rooney kicked Downing up by his knee and was clearly a proffesional foul whereas the West Ham player accidently caught Rafael. It was a deserved red card but you see a lot of similar offences given yellow cards every week, again its inconsistencies with referees.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

If the West Ham players foul was as you say 'accidental ' then why did he get even a yellow cards?

Just watched both fouls again and although the West Ham foul wasn't as crude as Rooney's it was a deliberate ankle tap IMHO.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Can we end the season now, please?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

It feels like a defeat.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Agreed on the yellow. If he then made a yellow card challenge it would be a bit ridiculous to be sent off. Same applies to goal scoring celebration bookings. I dread to imagine a player being booked twice for that. Please do post if there's been such a case?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

No we can't.:nono:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Just seen rooney's kick..disgusting, no intention of going for the ball..purely went to assault the player.

It looks like Nolan's goal was onside...as usual, Man Utd get biased decisions....nothing has changed.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Do l detect a bitter man there somewhere.:bigcry:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

No..just addressing the ridiculous comments by the man u fans.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Hahaha! You are incredibly bitter

The foul wasn't that bad. He clearly just wanted to stop the counter attack, which you see happen in nearly every game, definitely wasn't "assault" but a deserved red. And the goal was clearly offside.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

It balances out the fake penalty from last week - you could say justice is done.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

It was a malicious attack...only done to attack the player...petulance to the extreme. He didn't trip him...he kicked him. that is assault, same as a punch...though...I guess for man utd supporters..that probably is called love play...something to do to the wife on a regular basis

---------- Post added at 11:57 ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 ----------

So you call justice assaulting someone...

---------- Post added at 12:00 ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 ----------

you cannot the compare the two.. Rooney kicked the guy deliberately...the other was a trip..assault should never be condoned.

Puzzled why the ref should consider assault as something to let go....rooney did it intentionally...he got the red

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Even for you that is a disgusting and low comment.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

You are condoning assault...I am condemning it..but recognising that for some low lifes.. they think it is normal behaviour

yes...I can see which side you are on.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

As you well know I was talking about the referee's decision and your suggestion that United players get 'biased' decisions. What Rooney did was wrong but no worse than players from any team in the land have done. You are making it sound like nobody has ever committed a serious foul before.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Keep the personal comments out of posts people, otherwise you will get a warning.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

And nowhere in my post did I defend Rooney, nowhere in my post did I say he didn't deserve a red card. I did say that cynical so called proffesional fouls warrant a red card. it is a matter of conjecture but I thought the West Ham foul was a deliberate and cynical trip, he just disguised it better than Rooney's clumsy hack.

As for the offside/onside goal, that was a not a clear cut howler by the officials, in fact it could have been an excellent decision or a the very tiniest of errors. It was definitely not a cast iron goal, in spite of what Big Sam says.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

In his defence, Rooney did get the ball :monkey:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

As an aside does anyone know which team have the most R/Y cards so far this season and also lie second in the most fouls committed table?;)
