That was funny too, Bearing in mind his popularity with United fans seeing him sky that ball was a brief moment of amusement in the 2nd half. I mean it was an amazing chance!

But we also dealt with your attack quite well too. The shots on and off target are close, with Utd having one more shot on target.

My point was though, watching the match, I wasn't sitting there quaking in my boots, thinking that Arsenal were going to score at any minute.

Between the two, yes Arsenal looked the more likely to score, but United looked bad up front and are not playing as good as old. What will Arsenal do when they play a team who are playing on form?

I did say that they were better than last year and I did mean that in the defensive area.

Well United didn't have a good shot on target even if they were the same. Arsenal had the two good ones. One which resulted in a goal, one which produced a great save from foster. You could include the free kick from Persie which was nice but hit the post.

Arsenal didn't dominate the game but they were comfortable and it's one of the hardest games of the season.

Also. Did anyone else think the ref was a bit card happy? He booked pretty much the entire pitch. I can't remember every incident but Song getting booked for a simple protest over a throw in seemed a bit over the top.

Arsenal probably got payback for the dive against Celtic with that refused penalty. The Rooney penalty was similar to Eduardos. Nothing happening, try for the penalty, only unlike midweek this time the keeper actually took him down. Stupid penalty to give away.

The own goal was a freak accident and hopefully Diaby won't let it get to him and spoil his otherwise good start to the season. He almost atoned for it with some fancy footwork moments after! All that was missing a finish.

What I was trying to say is that defensively, we appeared to be quite comfortable as well, it was just in attack, we were quite clueless for a lot of the time, but we were not overrun, all hands on deck in defence.

When you play a team who are on form in attack, things may look different.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010

It was a 50/50 game tbh. We just aren't playing well, not enough flare. Rooney is on his own at times as far as imagination on the ball. Our defence is just solid. Foster will be a very good keeper when he get some games under his belt.

100% Pen for Arsenal, but it led to an even better goal, I would take that over a Pen. Rooney was a Pen as well, yeah he was looking for it, but the Keeper still took him out.

Wengers reaction to the sending off was exactly what it deserved. It was Off-Side (If Gallas hadn't gone for the header it would have stood) and he was naffed off, kicking a bottle "BIG DEAL" it was genius. The odd Muppet UTD fan aside he was getting applause for it.

How long before it is a T-Shirt? Give that man Manager of the month. Place your bets the FA will get all up themselves over it and fine him.

Oh and yes, way too many Yellows, it wasn't a dirty game.

I agree 100 %

I actually felt embarrassed for Wenger TBH

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010

I thought both teams were poor yesterday, which was what i was expecting with it being so early in the season. It wasn't a bad thing because it actually made it quite an entertaining game. The thing with Wenger at the end was hilarious, watching him dancing around in celebration then realising it was offside was priceless.

It has to be said there's nothing more satisfying than beating Arsenal when they've outplayed us

Sneijder, like United's masterful Paul Scholes, can play in the center midfield or as a second striker, as the Englishman did partnering Ruud van Nistelrooy prior to Louis Saha's arrival at the club, a period during which United played arguably their best football in this decade.

Paul Scholes built his reputation on long-range thunderbolts and late runs into the box, knifing into the area to score cheeky headers or little volleys; Sneidjer is no different.
Get Him

Then Fergie can sit and count the £80Mill and wonder why he didn't splash £15 of it on Wesley Sneijder
I already said it, and have been saying it for about six weeks. He is a great player, and at that price an absolute steal. Van Der Vaart, we now have 48 hours to go get him, he will cost even less than £15Mill, has a solid 1 in 4 at International level and is quoted as wanting to play in the Prem.

Hoping Nani, Anderson and Gibson will hit potential. Hoping Hargreaves will come back to anything like he was, it's one too many for me. As good as Carrick is and as improved as Fletch is, they wont get 10 goals between them.

---------- Post added at 17:04 ---------- Previous post was at 16:59 ----------

In fact - 123 goals from 272 appearances is superb from a Midfielder. We would be insane to pass on him. Anyone got Fergies Email?

I was wrong on Wenger - he is going to get an apology.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010

Not a bad result for City, will take the 3 points but at times we looked a bit of a shambles. Tevez did a lot of running around but never looked like doing much, Ade looks hungry for now and Barry looked solid.
Still, thank goodness for Shay or more so that Nugent is not very good! How he ever played for England is beyond me...
The best thing is we`ve now equaled the number of away games we won in all of last season so that`s a start, much sterner tests to come though.

Is this statement, from the president of the Croatian FA, the most ridiculous ever? What an accusation to make, especially as it was Modric making the tackle on Bowyer. Managers get fined/banned for saying thing's like this, hopefully this idiot gets the same sort of treatment.
