Great result for arsenal and fully deserved in my mind. Haven't seen them play with so much desire in ages - they were winning most of the 50-50s against united - even arshavin started slide-tackling!
For the refs part I think they should have seen the vidic handball (which would have probably been a red card). Owen could have had a penalty too although it would have been a bit soft. Overall though, arsenal played much better than man u and definitely deserved it.

Not quite what I said though is it Baz?
Nobody seemed to see it other then two Arsenal players? Normally, there is a reaction, from guilty players / the crowd and opposing team.
The only reason people picked up on it on here was because of the Sky replay, and then Sky pundits changing from "Vidic header" to "OMG I SAW THAT FROM UP HERE"
because Neuer was that good not because we were bad!!!
What does it matter whether there was a huge reaction or not?
It was a pen and Vidic should have been sent off and Utd should have had a pen for the challenge on Owen, not sure if there were any covering defenders to save Clichy though.
Decisions tend to get reactions, nobody noticed this so there was no reaction. It was only the Sky replay that confirmed the hand ball. Nobody saw it, it was a bit of an odd moment. Not really one for complaint. Officals didn't see it so didn't give it.
It was a pen on Owen and the Evra tug of the arm, could have been given, it's the type of decision you get out of the box.
Christ, City score two. West Ham down?![]()
The trolling in here is ridiculous at times.
it was still a penalty??????????
i think westham still have a chance is there next game against blackburn?
that will be a biggy.
Indeed, I dont think there is a moderator watching this thread, which is stupid.
It was an odd decision as nobody seemed to see what had happened. I don't really think it's a point of complaint, I'd be saying the same thing had it been any side. It was just ... odd that nobody noticed it.
its just because it happened so quick but the linesman should have seen it
