It was a blatant dive, almost Pires-esque

He was a mile onside.

Yep a free kick, but nothing more.

Yep, don't know why Wenger thinks Arsenal deserved the win, after all UTD had more attempts on goal, more shots on target..


In other news apparently Fergie had soup thrown over him after the match.

Arsenal are almost certain to find themselves back in disciplinary hot water after their latest ill-tempered encounter with Manchester United ended with a cup of pea soup being thrown over Sir Alex Ferguson as rival players clashed in the tunnel after the game.
One witness described ArsÃÃâ€*’¨ne Wenger's players as going "berserk", with Thierry Henry and Jens Lehmann among those wanting to prolong the argument after the final whistle.

The identity of the Arsenal player who splattered Ferguson is unclear, largely because of the number of individuals involved in the mÃÃâ€*’ªlÃÆ ’Ãâ€*’©e. Ferguson, apparently undaunted by the physical presence of some of those involved, was struck by a full beaker of hot soup, soaking his suit.

Although Ferguson was not scalded he had to change into his tracksuit and wipe his face and hair clear of soup splashes before his post-match interview with Sky. Despite his fiery reputation, however, the Manchester United manager was said to be "strangely calm" throughout the incident.

Wenger was not involved but was far from calm later when accusing Wayne Rooney of diving and the entire Manchester United team of "kicking his players off the park deliberately".
