Thanks to bs rumours like this, an Everton supporter did end up in hospital after being bottled. He was mistaken to be a Liverpool fan and was attacked, along with his 2 brothers (who were Liverpool fans), by a group of Everton fans seeking revenge for the 2 Everton fans that were supposed to have been stabbed :rolleyes:

Whoever started the rumour is a fullscale ****, apparently was done through ****ter as every rumour these days?

So sad that they just assume people are opposing fans, so much for the 'friendly' derby.
Hope the lot of them are banned from being near football grounds for life.

91st minute, grats Dawson.

(of course this is a moot point, but hadn't found a GIF of it until now)

Dawson really is an awful defender, outrageous that's not a penalty considering what Rafael was sent off for.

Footballs supposed to be entertaining, theres a reason 3-4k people can be bothered to watch a league 1-2 game, while a few million will watch a Utd or Arsenal game, if its boring, why on earth would you watch it.

A title while nice, doesn't mean all that much at the end of the day. Would I trade Arsenal playing 5-4-1, ultra defensive, nicking games and winning a title on 2 shots a game. No, I'd be bored to death and wouldn't give a monkeys about the title.

Have to say I disagree completely and that I'd rather we win all the time. Bring back the G Graham days of 'boring boring Arsenal' and I'd be delighted. As it stands I think he has a better trophy count/time ratio than Wenger. I'm sure part of the reason why our shots/conversion ratio is so poor is because we 'know' there'll be another chance later on. Which we go on to miss anyway. Champion's by and large, are usually very clinical.

A football club's proper fans will stick with the side irrelevant of how they play. Clubs that can play pretty football will attract new ones, which is why we play it - in that sense, very clever from Wenger because we've not been realistic League potential winners for some years now. However Champions always attract new fans as well - people follow winners. Mourhino was defensive but no doubt bought a lot of fans over. UTD's continued success hasn't always been exciting but there's a reason why we joke about most of them being from London.

We should take advantage of the equal pay in tv money here and try and build a boring but effective side. We're not Real/Barca or playing in Spain.

for whatever it is I can't see anyway but if it is anything it's clearly started outside the box.

May I remind you of Vidic literally tearing the shirt of VDV in the box 2nd half. The lino would have easily seen it and nothing given. Eye for an eye !

The rules state if a foul starts outside the box and continues into the area it's a penalty: look it up.

Vidic did have a handful of VdV's shirt but it made bugger all difference in the end, the two of them were so close that VdV still turned and got a shot in without too many issues.
