Agreed Linoge. Far too often last year and this year have I heard commentators say United have been dominated in midfield in key games

Thats not Wenger, thats a doppelgänger. Or at the very least hes been hypnotised.
Not really been the same since the days of Roy Keane!

And Spurs go 6 points clear of Arsenal who have a game in hand.
Gloat while you can. Its going to be a long season.

lol! "barcelona like"?
Good stuff..
I love how Sky are shoving this Arsenal master class down our throats.
The game was fairly even, I don't think either team played very well.
Certainly the shots/possession stats don't support their view that Arsenal totally out played us.

Thats because he's on the pitch.
He would look even better if he got played on the right hand side where he should be.
I wouldn't say it was even, Man U only looked comfortable in the last 15 mins or so. Before that they looked like the away team.

Arsenal were unlucky, inept refereeing and a rush of blood to the head from Diaby is the difference between United winning 2-1 to them winning 2-1, as Fletcher wiped Arseshaving out and then went on to touch the ball for the penalty incident.
United were second best all over the park as they have been against everyone with a bit about them for the year or so.
I do agree with you.United were poor and very lucky today. should have started with two up front but SAF bottled it.
Fletcher was very good though, monster display making up for Carrick.

LOL definitely looking for it and went down whether Almunia was going to make contact or not.
Gotta love the bitterness from the Arsenal fans. You're a credit to your team and your manager.
As for the match, I don't know how on Earth we walked away from that with three points. Defence was shaky, Foster unreliable. Midfield anonymous. Only Rooney really gave his all and was present for most of the match.
I would have to say that Arsenal lost that match for themselves. Almunia had a total brain freeze and gifted the first goal, and Diaby added the second.
Regarding penalties, well, yes Arsenal should have had a penalty, but they scored right after so I don't really see how you can complain. I'd take the goal over a penalty that could have been missed. And how you can argue that Rooney's wasn't, well, is quite simply beyond me. About as stonewall a penalty as i've seen in the last ten years. He might have been looking for it but Almunia took him out very cleanly.
That is all.
