what the hell is a stopfordian?

However, swearing at the opposition coach is wrong and I think with what happened to Roon, at least some sort of action will be taken as a precedent has now been set (just to clarify, he wasn't bad as Rooney as Rooney followed the camera but he did swear at a authority figure).

Oh c'mon, I hate Dalglish and I would laugh if he got banned BUT it would be ludicrous - it isnt anything close to what Rooney did (though I even felt the banning for that incident was wrong)

[kingusama92]

Wow, I never realized Dalglish told him to "f-off" as well.

What an idiot.

I don't think he should be banned either (I said "he shouldn't in my post" above). However, surely some cause for concern considering the FA has set a precedent. Then again, its FA and when they ever been consistent?

I agree, I don't think he deserves a ban. I am arguing more on a legalistic type of logic. Nonetheless, he shouldn't be swearing at Wenger - that deserves a fine (camera's or not).

Once again Arsenal shoot themselves in the foot at the end of the game. Liverpool should have had a penalty earlier as the foul on edge of the box to me look like it was inside. No qualms with the amount of injury time played because ball was still in play from the original free-kick.

Eboue is a clown and always has been he was clumsy all afternoon and his penalty give away was bound to happen at some point.

Arsenals average home form has cost them the title.

34 points from possible 51 points, compared to united who have 46 points from a possible 48 points.

3 drawn home games in a row! 6 points dropped which is pretty much Uniteds lead! Arsenal have bottled it once again!

[Amjid Javed]

Most fustrating thing about recent results is We continue to play 4-5-1 at home? Why?

Most teams are going to come and park the bus so why not play two upfront?

I hope deadwood like Bendtner, Rosicky, Eboue, Almunia, denilson are sold in summer and we invest in some better players. sadly when ever back up players have come in they have flopped!

If Arsenal dont improve fast we could end up 3rd or 4th this season!

ManU lost at home to wolves so that stat can't be exactly right BUT your point is still valid - arsenal have dropped too many points at home, that too against sides you should be beating

United lost away to wolves.

At OT only team to take points this season was WBA in a 2-2 draw.

we have won 10, Drawn 4, lost 3 at home! Thats simply not good enough.

In Last 4 home games we have scored 1 goal from set piece and 1 from a penalty! Thats poor!

[Amir]

Its good to see AJ is safe and well

[Poison]

LOL at Dalglish, what a legend!

Ok but next time please post sooner. We were all worried since we hadn't heard from you. We are like family here.

Fancy edit work.

[Fireworks11]

Utd could be 9 points clear come Wednesday night, or 3 points clear. The best and worse case scenarios. Big few games.

[Afridi_Fan]

Big game this one against the Toons.

[Fireworks11]

Need Rooney to make up for his rant and ban now.

[Gujar]

It's been one of the lowest quality Premier League seasons in years. The fact that United are top, and went so long unbeaten, with their incredibly dull and average midfield, speaks volumes. I still think Chelsea have the best first XI in the league but their incredibly poor form over the new year period onwards has cost them the title.

[Fireworks11]

Yes, it hasn't been a vintage Utd performance this season, they did well to draw/win games by playing badly. It's not over though. A few twists to come maybe.

So what formattion would you use & what would your line up be?

[Fireworks11]

Van der Sar, O'Shea, Smalling, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Carrick, Anderson, Giggs, Hernandez, Rooney.

Subs: Kuszczak, Owen, Park, Fabio Da Silva, Evans, Valencia, Gibson.

Referee: Lee Probert (Wiltshire)

[kingusama92]

Need to put this one away and not muck things up.

[Amjid Javed]

Newcastle need to put one of these chances away or they will regret it later!

[Amjid Javed]

what the hell! two newcastle player free on back post and get in each others way!

[Amjid Javed]

newcastle getting overconfident which leads to sloppyness. what a chance for rooney!

still 0-0

[Amjid Javed]

almost HT and newcastle have wasted 2/3 great chances in this half!

[saeed-sohail]

Newcastle are providing a stern test here.A point will do.

[saeed-sohail]

0-0 at HT.Utd players wasted 3/4 good chances.

[Amjid Javed]

HT 0-0

Newcastle slightly better side but need to score as United will punish them at some point in 2nd half!

[Fireworks11]

The trip to Newcastle is always tough. So far, a good result for Arsenal.

[Amjid Javed]

7 corners so far for united in 2nd half, camped in newcastles half at moment!

[Amjid Javed]

lovenkrands has wasted two great chances tonite!

[Fireworks11]

Where is Berbatov? Why isn't he being given a run in the side?

[Amjid Javed]

Originally Posted by fireworks11 Where is Berbatov? Why isn't he being given a run in the side?

Hes at home! dropped after crap performance on saturday!

[Amjid Javed]

what a miss by giggs! shocking!

[Fireworks11]

How did Giggs miss..........

[Fireworks11]

He should have travelled. Need to win here.

[Theo_14]

Dear Amjid Javed, I'm still waiting for your reply on these following posts...

And...

[Fireworks11]

Final 10 minutes.

[Fireworks11]

Owen comes on amid 50,000 BOOS.

[Amjid Javed]

newcastle keep giving ball away which is just letting man united attack and retain pressure!

[Fireworks11]

Utd dropping crucial points as it stands.

[Amjid Javed]

Hernandez booked for diving! for a minute though United had got a dodgy penalty!

[saeed-sohail]

Blame berba for this.Pathetic.

[Amjid Javed]

FT 0-0

United 7 points clear!

Arsenal must win tomorrow to stay in title race!

[cricketpassion]

Not a good result for United.Needed three points from this game

[Fireworks11]

Utd have been shocking away from home. Berbatov watching from his living room.

[Amir]

Games liek these make me think we don't deserve to be champions. Away from home its liek they don't know what the goal looks like. Real pathetic stuff.

[Fireworks11]

Need Spurs to take points off Arsenal.

[Fireworks11]

9 Draws and 3 Losses Away from Home. Pathetic for a team like Utd.

[saj001]

Valuable 1 point

[saeed-sohail]

Berbaclass won us these sort of games.Hernandes is a kid rooney is Fergie's overrated blue eyed kid who always plays.

[saj001]

Originally Posted by fireworks11 Utd have been shocking away from home. Berbatov watching from his living room.

He was in stand watching with Boss and Rio.

[Fireworks11]

Berbatov should have at least been on the bench.

[Fireworks11]

Originally Posted by saj001 He was in stand watching with Boss and Rio.

Ok. Didn't see the game. He should have played.

Big boost for Arsenal.

[Theo_14]

Neither do Arsenal.

This season... The big clubs have lacked consistency especially Chelsea & Arsenal and I must say PL this season hasn't been as good as last season or the season before although...

The relegation battle seems to be exciting as it's hard to predict who will be relegated down to the C'ship.

[saj001]

LOL, spurs will have them for dinner tomorrow. We have more important games coming up and i trust Fergie selection more than anyone else.

[saeed-sohail]

Rafael is a big miss.Kid brings so much to table going forward.

[Fireworks11]

Arsenal will feel they can win the League. They have Utd at Home to come.

[Fireworks11]

Originally Posted by saeed-sohail Rafael is a big miss.Kid brings so much to table going forward.

He's very lively. However, he tends to be quite rash, a bit over excited.

Always worried about him being booked/sent off.

[Fireworks11]

You never know. It could go either way.

[saeed-sohail]

Wasn't that a penalty for Hernandes?

[Fireworks11]

Didn't see it. People saying it was 50/50.

[Amir]

Originally Posted by saeed-sohail Wasn't that a penalty for Hernandes?

Really touch and go stuff. Never was a yellow but much like Lovenkrands penalty. I don't think that was pen either, looked like he ran into Ando's leg and tried to sell it.

However the Tiote one was clear. What was he doign with his hand ups there?

[saj001]

Originally Posted by fireworks11 You never know. It could go either way.

Arsenal going forward = space for spurs to counter - Arsenal defence + bale = Carnage.

[saeed-sohail]

Tomorrow is a crucial day in the title race.If arsenal win they will finish 2nd lose/draw they will be 3rd.

[Fireworks11]

^ So in your books Utd have won the league.

[Amir]

Originally Posted by saj001 Arsenal going forward = space for spurs to counter - Arsenal defence + bale = Carnage.

Spurs + mental pressure = bottlers

[saeed-sohail]

Is spurs v arsenal live on sky?

[saj001]

Originally Posted by Amir Spurs + mental pressure = bottlers

I fancy them to win tomorrow.

[saeed-sohail]

Originally Posted by fireworks11 ^ So in your books Utd have won the league.

Yes I believe we will get at a draw at the Emirates and that should be that.

[Fireworks11]

Expect fireworks at WHL tomorrow.

[saeed-sohail]

Fergie needs to go back to Berbaclass and Rooney up front with Hernandes coming on with 25/30 mins to go to run at tired defenders.

[saeed-sohail]

I need to know its live on sky sports or not.

[Theo_14]

Originally Posted by Amir Spurs + mental pressure = bottlers

Exactly.

Originally Posted by saeed-sohail Is spurs v arsenal live on sky?

It's a rivarly game - and Spurs v Arsenal games have always been on Skysports for the past 8-10 years, so yes it's on Skysports !.

[cricketpassion]

I think Spurs will win 1-0 tomorrow

[Fireworks11]

Makes you appreciate Kuyt's goal on Sunday.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Good result and a great performance overall

Was proud of the effort we put in, that opening 15 mins we were excellent - we badly need a striker cos lovenkrands is not good enough
