No you weren't. I'm not sure you've read right because you were responding to me and I never said Arsenal were dirty. I said Henry should have been booked for kicking out (fahct) and Arshavin's yellow card should have been his second.

Another daft post, who would Arshavin have crossed to if he went wide? Errm, Ramsey, the midget, Song the slow, Ox the midget, Arteta the lucky to be in Leed's half, or Chamakh the woefully out of form and mostly stayed outside the box?
Arshavin had no reason to keep going outside, as Leed's were defending well and we didn't have anyone at any stage looking to get on the end of a cross. Had he done so, you'd be complaining about his crossing never finding Arsenal players. He created multiple chances for himself and others, he worked hard to win the ball back winning a few tackles and did very well.
Lately dozens of managers have been expressly playing the "wrong footed" players on the opposite wing and encouraging them to cut in and shoot rather than cross. City, Utd, Barca, Real often. Crossing hasn't been "in" for years, cutting in and shooting and missing a lot is what most teams seem to be doing.
Shocking one of the few teams to pump crosses in constantly is Stoke, and Liverpool when Carroll plays...... I can't think why

Utd try to cross it in a lot. sometimes they cut in. mostly they just create space for evra to overlap and let him do all the wing work.
Iirc Rooney goal from a cross?

I've got to say though in terms of January transfers Wenger is 1-0 up on fergie!
Hey Jakeke, can you post your football blog back up please, I use it to teach the kids I coach how not to see football

A daft post?
I was pointing out how someone that went to the match obviously watched a completely different game to the one you watched, how can pointing that out be wrong?
Is it something to do with Arsenal fans that when you are in the wrong you break out the roll eyes smilie? I think Jakeke's guess that it was 80% of Arsenal fans 'megaspastics' was slightly conservative.

Oh blimey just kiss already or something.
How can you gather that I am wound up by what I posted?
A simple question was asked; Why would you want to mock me for trying to have a laugh with you?
Apologies, I thought this was an area of the forums where you could have a laugh and get some banter going!
Do you have a sense of humour
Put yourself in the 70-80% mate
Wasn't very friendly was it? When I want a laugh I don't call somebody a relentless megaspastic as it usually sours it. Anyway this is petty and pointless so we should call it quits
Caporegime
Just popping in to say....Yayyyyy Henry again
It was you that called them megaspastics, I just agreed with you
I think we should leave it and I'll make a mental note of trying not to joke with Arsenal supporters, the few I have conversed with on here seem to be sensitive little souls
I said Emirates fans were, not you. Then you said I was one.
I didn't get sensitive, you were the one making it personal and trying to insult me multiple times.

Now that post of yours is daft. you watched from the comfy of your sofa whilst i was IN THE STADIUM
Chamack was inside the box waiting for useles Ashavin to cross the ball but time and time again he chose to cut inside like an idiot(i even took a pic of him doing so!).
How ironic that when Chambalin chose to cross outside the box instead of doing an "ashavin" we had not only chamack in the box but also aertea who took the shot and almost scored from you guess what a cross
come on DM your better then this
