Pull the other one
There was nothing else that could be interpreted as a personal insult. Sensitive are we?
It's my opinion that there's a difference between diving and looking for a foul.
Going down completely unassisted is diving. Rooney was on his way down, yes, but that still doesn't mean that Almunia taking out what contact he did have with the ground was acceptable.
Otherwise it can only be a foul if the player is on two feet, stood in an upright stable position. And that's a pretty slippery slope.
I was agreeing with you
You pretty much said the same thing as I did
Ah right.
Well Gustov, you are like a cryptic crossword sometimes.
Keepers need to learn to stay on their line/hold back for a ball like that, 2 games 2 pointless rushes of blood to the head, 2 penalties converted.
The ball always goes out for a goal kick but a penalty is awarded, no way could Rooney catch that ball.

No, just not going to lower myself to your level.
Anyway, let's move on. Did Wenger come out for the post match interview?
Bit gutted by the result, thought we could have got a win today. Draw would have been a fair result all things considering so the loss is quite annoying.
Can't post without mentioning the penalty, Rooney had dropped before Almunia got anywhere near him. Watch Almunia's arms, they don't get kicked until both of Rooneys legs hit them at the same time, you don't run like that. Blatant looking for a pen and not so far from a certain decision earlier in the week. Also nice to see RvP get a yellow for a mirror image of the tackle Fletcher did in his own area.

Aren't people getting bored?
All the excitement of waiting for the new season and already most of the talk is about poor ref decisions
Football needs a 4th ref and video replays asap.

I'm not an Arsenal fan lol. And I still think Arshavin is the best player in the Prem.
not doubting he could be, the amount of talent in the prem and you say Arshavin is the best, no thanksHe's a special player, that's for sure. I'd probably go as far as agreeing with you.
Well one thing that for sure is that we haven't seen enough of him.
Who would you say is a better player in the premiership?
The only names that come to mind for me as competition are Lampard, Gerrard and Torres.

Wait, this conversation is about the BEST player in the prem right?
o_O

Dont normally live on here but thought id have a pop in and see what you guys thought of the Man U Arsenal match. So far all i see is some moaning about Rooney doing exactly what every other striker does in the league, if Liverpool (and others) can get a pen last year just down to intent then this is a stone wall penalty.
I know its more fun to bitch and moan about things not going which ever way you want but in the end arsenal gave away(?) two stupid goals and they only have themselves to blame not rooney, not the ref, not FA some bias towards Utd.
Although the result didnt go the gunners way, if they was my team i'd go away a bit downhearted with the result , but happy that they outplayed the champions at their ground.

Who is then? One of your beloved Man U players? Arshavin is the only player to make an impact on the Premiership since Ronaldo and now he has left.
Rooney, the 3 i quoted i was thinking of in the first place, especialy torres, Van persie and fabregas are more important to arsenal than Arshavin imo, or i think in the near future that will become clear.
i dont know, maybe its just me, i probably havnt seen what hes capable of, i do watch every match of the day and every soccer am, and i gotta say his names never even come to mind.
Since ronaldo ? its been 3 games sherlock, rooneys getting back into the picture now
But Arsha best player in the premo, no way, torres is much better imo, and thats coming from a united fan, i mist out drogba too, im not going to say rooney because that goes without saying
