I don't think that Heinze is worrying too much about getting his place back. Hopefully it is just a nervous start from Evra...

Wouldn't it be nice to see the same team for maybe two or even three matches in a row....

Heinze is one of Fergies better buys, he should walk straight back into the team when fit...........Evra has done very well, but is still settling in imo

Saha is on fire at the moment (scoring wise) and taking his chance while he has the opportunity, but I have no doubt that if a crucial match came along, i.e. the LDV Vans Trophy , Fergie would revert back to the old guard with the likes of Scholes, Charlton, Law, Crerand etc.

btw, where was Rio today ?

Wenger is said to be fuming. Still, perhaps we'll have more Highbury supporters in the thread now.

We are still here, yes 2 away goals, one of which brought Henrys 200th.

Unlike United at home with 2 legimate goals the other two were well what can we say, one lucky deflection, and we better ask Chris Coleman about the other one when Ruud was offside by a mile.

Even the linesman apologised for that after the game.



I am still awaiting the Rugby comments to rub our welsh noses in it.

I didn't see the game, however that sort of thing never happens to Arsenal does it?

(I'm talking about deflections/offsides - not Arsenal actually scoring which, let's face it, hasn't been anything to write home about recently)

I was hoping that would be quietly forgotten about - no chance of that in tomorrow's papers though...but anyway, this is a FOOTBALL thread 'boyo' )

Talking about lucky goals, did you see Arsenal's first?

Yes I did a superb header by Emmanuel Adebayor.

A wonderful assist by Maik Taylor.

Glad we agree as all of Arsenals goals are of course legimate

Plus taking into account the last 7 League Games -

United - Played 7, won 3 scored 15.
Arsenal - Played 7, won 3 scored 15.

Yes boyo, but you know as well as I do it won't be forgotten.

The garbage has already started as England being the overpowering triumphant blah blah.

Roll on March 12th when France put an end to it.

Unless of course, you play sheffield United in the FA cup and blatently cheat.(yes I know this is going back a little).

i.e sheffield united kick the ball out of play, as a good will gesture. And instead of throwing the ball back to them (as most teams do) you throw it to a team mate, and the resulting move ends in a goal. You're manager then (with a tail between his legs) agree's to a replay, trying not to make his club out to be the cheaters they are.

But yes..........you are right...........ALL of arsenals goals are legitimate

[Chrysalis]

I think a bit more then an apology is needed for mistake leading to goal, I would hope the linesman recieves some sort of reprimand. End of the day the goal has happened and it may have altered the outcome of the game.

[TheDaddy]

I agree didn't Bolton get relegated due to a refereeing blunder a few years back (a goal was given when the ball had not crossed the line or vice versa). I wonder how much that particular referee's apology helped soften the blow of relegation expecially when you consider the implications of relegation in the modern game.

[Russ]

Dodgy decisions happen all the time - it's just that Arsenal supporters only ever seem to spot it when it favours United.
