They were lucky because it looked like they were going to lose until the last minute when they equalised, which they probably did deserve, which is why Wenger was smiling and the gooners were happy, they realised they sneaked a draw right at the death.

Also, thats the first time in a long long time i've seen a United player wave an imaginary card, he's young and new to the team and i'm sure he'll learn soon enough that's not wanted at the club.

Quote of the day from Gallas - "I told the guys we had to fight until the end and if we have to die we will die together. I think today we showed everybody we can die."

Can someone translate that for me please

Jammy Arsenal. If that had been United at home, the @rse fans would moan about it being 'Old Trafford overtime'.

Russ, when is the return game? then you might have your chance, but that Anderson is 1 little dirty player so yes fits in perfectly together with Ronaldo and Rooney.

Anderson will soon learn that actions like that aren't acceptable for a United player. Then again, he did do it at Arsenal's ground - how fitting

Having watched match of the day earlier, I'm curious as to which couple of "good" penalty shouts you are referring to? Wenger never mentioned anything when he was interviewed, and the pundits never said anything either.

Perhaps he didn't see it! Besides what good would it do Wenger criticising referees after the game, wouldn't change anything and with luck it's a welcome change to the norm, hopefully players from all clubs will be next and cut out their antics as well

Arsenal had reasonable penalty claims ignored by referee Howard Webb after 15 minutes when Nemanja Vidic tugged Alexander Hleb's shirt as they tangled in the area.

Looks like I spoke to soon, status quo restored

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has accused referee Howard Webb of favouring Arsenal in the 2-2 draw at the Emirates.

Because there were no good penalty shouts at all in the game.

Yes, good stuff, and Quinn thinks we will get even better.

I just hope United get their revenge over this lot after last seasons 5 - 0 drubbing

Although I admit it was a different team then to what we have now.

Hutchings sacked as Wigan manager

Wigan have sacked boss Chris Hutchings following the club's slump into the bottom three of the Premier League.
Assistant manager Frank Barlow takes charge on a caretaker basis, starting with Sunday's trip to Tottenham.

Apparently Jewell is favourite to take over which would be intresting.

Even more interesting if he takes over and makes Hutchings his no 2 again
Tbh I can't see it, even if he is ready to return I suspect he would want a bigger club, I have already seen speculation about him going to Middlesborough, seems like a good bet to me, with luck Wigan will get what they deserve

[Russ]

They can keep their hands off Roberto Martinez.

bleeding heck.... Liverpool 8 Besiktas 0 :O
