EPL Round 4: Manchester United x Arsenal [P/R]

[newbie original]

Without Cesc, the best case scenario for Arsenal is a draw.

 

[ARIAGA II]

Arshavin!

 

[MaSsiVe]

OMFG Arshavin with an absolute screamer

that was a clear penalty by Fletcher on him earlier btw, but didn't the russian get over it in style


Arsenal deserve their lead so far.

 

[MaestroZidane]

The only way a player can.. What a goal by the Little Russian.

 

[Arnau]

arshavin ftw, where the **** was this man hidden the last 5 years?

 

[Help?]

Arsenal deserve to be winning, the 4-5-1 tactic is just terrible. We are a counter-attacking team, but how can we counter attack when we got no numbers upfront.

 

[ARIAGA II]

Not a penalty...but then again justice served for Wednesday I guess .
Dean is handing out cards too easily.
Dammit Diaby,unlucky,

 

[MaestroZidane]

^^ It could surely be viewed as justice. But that was a penalty..

And with that.... the game has turned. what was Diaby thinking?

 

[MaSsiVe]

I reckon Rooney will be handed a 2 match ban too now?
he was falling before even reaching the ball.

wtf was that by Diaby
2-1 now, truth is ManU don't even know how they have the lead...

and now Diaby misses a great chance for the Arse

 

[MaSsiVe]

lmao Eboué dives and Evra promptly assumes he's the one being booked and therefore sent off

 

[ARIAGA II]

Shame on Eboué, but the booing for Eduardo is somewhat over the top. Diaby has responded well after he messed that up, but wtf is up with the ref!

 

[Daz]

From what i've heard the ref has had a good game...

 

[Bobby]

Racism.

If Rooney doesn't have an Anglo name, he's branded a diver for that and if Arshavin is named "Miller" that's a penalty.

 

[MaSsiVe]

hahaha Wenger

Very entertaining match, I feel for Arsenal since they surely deserved something out of this, nevertheless congrats to ManU and their fans.

 

[MaestroZidane]

Arsenal fans would see this as giving the game away rather than being neaten. Sending off Arsene was just like adding salt to the wound, over reaction by the fourth official

 

[Help?]

Probably the luckiest win i have seen us get in years. Completely undeserved, even the players felt like they were exteremely lucky to have that, they didn't even try to hard to extend the lead. Apart from Berbatov and Nani howlers, United had nothing upfront. Even the two goals weren't from direct play by United players.

 

[ladylover]

Wow, what a game. Wenger's sending off was a bit to much in the end. I have to admit, Arsenal were the better side. We kept on fighting and it sure wasn't pretty, but we got a win out of it. Totally different second half from us, much much better. We should have buried the chances in the end, but I am very happy with the end result. Berba did great in the little time he played. And Fletcher, wow!, he kept on going and going, surely one of the best today...

The Arshavin incident I can agree with but you can't call Rooney's a dive. There was definitely contact.

He was already falling! It was such a clear penatly. United always get a ******* penalty when they ******* need it!

BAN WAYNE ROONEY!

 

[Help?]

Rooney was clearly well tripped by Almunia. Don't think he was gonna get the ball, but he had his legs taken out and unfortunately for Arsenal that's a penalty (not in FIFA 2009 though).

United always get a ******* penalty when they ******* need it!

That's because United is still an extremely quality side no matter how bad they play.
