Man Utd 1 Arsenal 0 :D

Not a bad game.......Arsenal were not that good, and United need to improve a bit.

Personally, I would like to see a spearhead from United of Rooney and Hernandez, with Berbatov as a stand in, I think that might work.

As for Arsenal, who cares :p:

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

Well the Arse outscored United in two areas, 17 fouls to 8 and 4 yellow cards to 0.:rolleyes:

Mind you the challenge by Ferdinand on Sagna was a bit iffy.;)

Jim.

And Wenger claims its Arsenal who are roughed up :erm:
Most Arsenal fans make me laugh, they seem to forget that they haven't always been knowing for the flowing (but ultimately useless) football they play.

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

Whatever. Rio did a flying kick on Sanga and Fletcher should have been booked for his reaction towards the ref when he lost it. Wouldn't affect the game but did affect the statistics regarding fouls and bookings after, it was a rough game on all sides.

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

It was an appalling game, I've never seen two top sides give the ball away so much, you'd never have guessed it was a top of the table clash.
Though Man Utd were the better side.
As for your "whatever" response, does that mean you're one of the fans who "forgets" anything pre-1996?

Just winding you up ;)

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

Just like how Clichy should have been booked for taking down Nani from behind in the first few minutes. I think there was something like 12 fouls from Arsenal in the first 20 minutes or so with no bookings, the ref was extremely lenient. We all know what Wenger would have said if it had been the other way round. Instead he blamed the pitch.... ;)

looks like we will have Steven Gerrard back for our game vs fulham

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

No. It means I am one of the fans who can't see what the pre-96 Arsenal teams have to do with the current Arsenal team. It's irrelevant. There is a dramatic difference between the style of football then and now.

Wenger blamed the pitch for the poor 'technical' quality of the game. Such as the passing for both sides and the players falling over.

As per usual the press has taken a quote out of content as they usually do with Wenger and used to do with Benitez. Nice copy for papers playing up to the 'moaning foreigner' stereotype. Both of whom should have taken a leaf from Ferguson's book and refuse these press conferences altogether.

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
 

The thing is, you'd think he would know better by now not to make such comments as it comments like that which will almost certainly be taken out of context. In my opinion there was no need to criticise the pitch, it was the same for both teams and because it was the first thing he said in the interview it does seem like he was making excuses and deflecting criticism from the teams poor performance.

...and big Sam now free to replace Roy ;)
