Great game!!!

Typical Arsenal unsporting behaviour of Campbell to blank Rooney at the end. Was delighted to see Ruuuuud get his own back on the Arsenal thugs.

im not a man u or arsenal fan but i was really glad when arsenal lost because now that arsenal hopefully, wont be winning every game the chase for the title will be a lot closer. + i hate arsene wenger's guts!

I see Man U has trained Rooney in the finer aspects of being a striker. Was a definite wisp of air between Rooney and Sol's leg, but seemed just enough to cause his to flop dramatically. Perhaps Rooney learned it from playing alongside Owen, who knows ?

Either way , is probably fair that Arsenal get's a dive going against them, Henry (as much as I respect his athletic ability) is another player that has had his fair share of penalties from no contact.

it was a great game, man u could have had a second penalty, cole on ronaldo. i hate arsenal too!

as sir alex would say

pwoud, very pwoud!

i wouldnt write off united yet rag! they have come back from higher deficits before. and i think the signing of rooney could be crucial.

so stay pwoud, vewy pwoud!

I thought MU stood for unsporting, maybe it was just arrogant?

No I do not support Arsenal either before you go down that road.

I think there was definite contact. That contact may not have been enough to wake a sleeping baby, but if there's contact, then I think he's got every right to go down. Now Pires, he's the master of all things dive related.


I think you may have been wearing your Man U coloured glasses today 🙂 Alas nowadays they all drop like flies. I think in a pub full of tough athletic footballers I would easily be able to beat up 10 men all by myself if they all drop that easily in real life too. Alas yes Pires is an excelent diver too !


Cole on Ronaldo was a definite, stonewall penaly. The linesman completely bottled it. Absolutely no way he could have missed it.

I think by that time perhaps they may have already seen the replay on the big screen and wanted to make things square. Either way I think it is irrelevent to judge the game after the 1-0 lead. Arsenal threw caution to the wind in their attempt to score the equaliser.


I think we were lucky that Rio stayed on the pitch. A lot of referees would have given the foul, and if they did, then he'd have had to go for the professional foul. After that, he was immense!! Definitely deserved man of the match.

Yep, in my 10 man footballer bustup scenario, I would definitely have difficulty with Rio, he's a strong lad. Artificially enhanced perhaps, but strong nevertheless.


Game on but I don't see United doing it this season, and I hope that **** Mourinho doesn't get it. So I guess I'm going for Everton or Bolton to lift the trophy this year. 😉

Hehe, much as I would love to see Everton do it this year, I think they'll probably lose 5 or 6 on the trot at some point this season. Though Moyes sais they'll invest in a new younger squad next season 🙂 I would have thought by now he knew that selling your superstar, dropping half the team, and aquiring nothing but a 1st Div centre was the key to success 🙂
