Spoilers Ahoy!!! Football 22 - Jan 2011

Hernandez cant play out wide so will never be put there, Rooney though we know can play out wide and do it effectively even if it isn't his desired position. Couple his attitude with being put out wide in recent weeks with the whole transfer saga earlier in the season it wouldn't surprise me if we shipped him out in the summer

soo its a daft comparison in regards to tonight then (as Rooney started out wide, and with Gibson starting we would have been truelly murdered in 1st half in 4 - 4 - 2)

Personally thought Rooney has been decent out wide recently (although tonight he was bad admittedly) , cant believe Utd will ship him out in the summer unless there is a deal behind the scenes (I doubt it though)

Chicarito is a brillaint player, and is getting better and better, but he has struggled when on from the start so far (and the club /supporters have no right to expect anything else imo) , he is definitely worht more as an impact sub this season and lets just be patient with him over the next season or so

Expecting too much too soon , especially from young strikers, can work out worse for everyone concerned . He appears willing and able, and thats a brilliant attitude, but let him develope his game slowly or he could burn out

Personally think Rooney has hauled the club through many games single handedly (nearly) in recent years, so its time for payback from the fans. Yes he was out of line earlier in the season, but I still think Utd will be the biggest loser if they ship him out too soon

You can put the questionmark later in my sentance but basically wasn't sure if it was his shoulder that clipped his face or not, either way it was accidental and not a foul.
Also wasn't like it was a penalty decision.

In fairness when bpool were 2-0 up and that penalty wasn't given everyone knew what was happening after that :p

It was a booking though - which could easily have led to CA being sent off later in the match

Just as easy to look at Blackpool's fitness levels for last 15 minutes, without the 5+ minutes rest for Rafael's injury, they could have been further behind (its quite evident after how much energy they regained while medical staff where on the pitch) - or maybe its Utd's fault for being capable of playing for the full 90 (playing time) as well?

East Stand Upper?



The same team that lost 2-0 at Burnley a couple of months later...

I had to go check, Silvestre, away, and this was Burnley a team that was promoted into the prem that season playing VERY well on top form, we thumped Wigan inbetween with only one change(i think) and for Burnley we played Silvestre and a debut performance for a CB who was taken off at half time and since released.

IE we put in a epic failure of a back 2 and lost, we'd probably have won with our normal back 2. All three of those teams are much better than the current Ipswich.
 
DM = Idiot. Clueless Idiot. :facepalm:

I keep thinking people are referring to defensive midfielders =<

@Frank, wasn't yellow, looked accidental at worst and certainly no intent in it. Face is easy to cut and makes it look worse than it was.

I never said bpool would win had they not been cheated, obviously other variables, but 3-0 seems a mountain compared to 2-0 and and and, too many variables but the referee affected the outcome of the match with an appallingly bad decision and that's the issue.
19 was already gifted to you months ago anyways so not bothered anymore really.

Why is everyone calling fibreglass a cheat tonight?

You are only going to win the Carling Cup or the FA Cup

You have never won the European Cup and not won the league since 2004

Get over it, be happy with the CC a lot of teams would be.
 
Just back from the Emirates, good away performance - at half time I really thought we might be able to do something here- perhaps grab a goal from a set piece and we'd be away. Eboue looked particularly weak when Connor Wickham went up against him in the air.

In any case, it wasn't to be - a lapse of concentration combined with a moment of class showed the difference between the premiership and the championship over two legs - Arsenal were the better side but we made them work for it. :)
 
Just to add - I'm surprised to see so many Arsenal fans think they need a CB - they don't... they need a central midfielder. Denilson was absolutely shocking tonight.

Well unlike your good selves we may not have won anything for the past 5 odd yrs but at least we have more trophies than your frankly rubbish Wigan would ever achieve;).

Makes me laugh Cheets that you come in here, mouthing off like some 5 yr old child but you dont seem to realise that its not big nor smart to talk down other teams;).

Not really that impressed by tonights performance...we had a very strong squad out but yet still struggled to score a decent amount of goals...we should have been up at least 3 goals by halftime but i just dont know...we cant seem to find the net all that often. Still 3-0 was the end result so am glad we put the tractor boys away good and proper...would have been much better if we had spanked them utterly like Chelski did a few weeks ago in the FA Cup.

Still at least we are in the final and hopefully we can grab that trophy....better than nothing i suppose:p.

Denilson has got to be one of the worst Arsenal players ive seen in a very long time....why dont we just ship the muppet out on loan to some other team??....oh i forgot, no one wants him as hes so utterly dire:p
 
As much as I want Arsenal to cash in on Arshavin, the cheeky little meerkat did get two assists today and he played worse than Denillson.

Hopefully a mass exodus in the summer with us cashing in on having cup winners in our team. Diaby, Traore, Denillson, Arshavin and Rosicky all need to be kicked off the books. If Fab stays then next season we will have a real problem fitting everyone in. Ramsey will (hopefully) be fully fit, Bender is doing as good a job as Walcott on the wing. Wilshire needs to work on his first touch but is a right little terrier.
 
Just watched the goals from the Arsenal game, it probably won't be that remembered but the 2nd goal (assist from Wilshire and scored by Bendtner) was absolutely brilliant. Great delivery from Wilshire, right in to Bendtner's run and behind the defence, fantastic 1st touch control on the outside of his boot, great pull back to create space and superbly curled into the far corner :) very impressed

Personally I think Nasri will be the guy to cash in on, he's playing great as a second striker, adding absolutely nothing to the team in midfield, we have better strikers, play a second striker sell Nasri, buy a proper winger, quids in.

We have incredible problems breaking down top teams, like City who came for the draw, and Nasri/Arshavin/Rosicky/Theo have been utterly ineffective against the vast majority of the top half of the table.

Nasri still has 2 goals, 1 assist vs the top half(Spurs and City) and the rest largely against the bottom six, Arshavin's record is worse, loads of assists, all against the bottom half.

We've built a team that can thrash Wigan, West Ham, Blackpool, etc, but can barely muster a single win against the top 4-5, which is ultimately why we lose in the cups, the league and the CL quite meekly every season.

Utd sometimes flop against the smaller guys, but have a resilience against the top 6 we just do not have.

Minutes to goals ratio, in order from worst to best is Chamakh 216m per goal, Theo 125m/g, RVP 103m/g , Bendtner 75m/g and last but not least is Vela, with 65m/g.

Of course Bendtner has played 150minutes total, and Vela has had, despite being fit afaik basically the entire season, 65minutes, total.

This is with Vela, Bendtner and Walcott all being consistantly played out of their best position. Nasri slots in there with 172m/g, which is worse than the other 3.

The issue I have is, a squad built for 4-4-2 all day long, being played in a pathetic 4-4-2, having issues breaking down anyone half decent, and rotation, Vela less than a whole game all season, Bendtner less than 2 games.

Why are we wasting money on Vela, personally I think he's brilliant, but has never been given games. We threw away 80k a week on Chamakh, while having two great players on the bench who barely ever get to play, with 2-3 VERY promising youth/reserve players who really should be getting more minutes on the pitch now than Vela/Bendtner are even getting. FFS< bendtner had more goals/minute last season than Chamakh has this season and he was played out of position much of last year. 80k a week + huge signing on bonus for someone worse than who we had?

Vela, 234 mins last year, 429 mins the year before in the league, why on earth have him if you won't play him. Hernandez at utd has played more minutes this season than Vela has in 3 seasons.
 
Just finished watching the Blackpool vs Utd game, I'd watched the first 60mins then had to go out thinking that no way would Utd win. Nice result though :D
 
Nasri for Johnny Evans swap deal DM? ;)
BOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, as long as JE's luck doesnt stay as well (when Nasri is hot he is scorching, but he does have off games where they pass him buy - Im sure this will disappear soon though)

or as a consolotation, what about Wilshire?:D
 
I just can't read anymore of DM's drivel. We're in a cup final, ok not the biggest trophy in the world, but winning it may just spark some more confidence into the team to take us that step further.

And all DM can do is criticise. Get a life mate and try to be just a little bit positive. Are you this negative with everything in your life?
