Man United's Wayne Rooney: "Our record last season against the big teams wasn't great and Arsenal have started the season well while we've lost already, so we needed to win today. I thought Darren Fletcher was head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch today."
 
a draw would have been fair. But don't despair...Arsenal are back this season for sure.

Well.....today we played alright and if we played another ten games exactly like that we'll win nine of 'em

Glad its now in August and we can put it behind us.

We'll see if we're in the mix by how we react to this undeserved defeat
 
aye, Fletcher's passing was just as bad as everyone else's. What ever they had for their pre-match meal needs to be taken off the menu. Fletch did just about everything else right mind.

Fletcher didn't give the ball away as much as the entire team put together. He gave away the ball in the last 10 minutes when he was tired, he needs extra support in the midfield.

That was a Keane like performance .
 
Yep. Would love to have come on here and heard about us being sublime. That would clearly be our first choice, always. But feeling sorry for those a-holes? I think not.

Exactly, I'm not saying we deserved the win because in the main we were poor but by god do we deserve a bit of luck for once.

Can't remember the last time a big game was settled in our favour by an own goal.

Will I take it ? course I will.

What I love about him. Very honest. Could not have said what he said about Fletcher any better.
 
fletcher was on a fecking mission to kill some gooners today....... well done!! fantastic performance by the lad!
 
I haven't looked at the peno incident again but it sure looked like Rooney's knees were starting to bend before he came close to Almunia, but like I said I have not seen it again.
 
He really needed Scholes next to him did'nt he? what the feck is wrong with Carrick though?

Carrick's passing has always been a bit hit or miss. To be honest, I really do think we're missing a quality attacking midfielder. Been saying it for ages.
 
Oh please go feck yourself.


Your the biggest high horse nutter around.

Clear dive.

It can be debatable, I am waiting to here what Wenger will have said. But please, if you leave in a glass house, don't start throwing fecking stones.
Within three days, Arsenal have managed to produce two dive of the season contestants. I don't think anybody can match Eboue's dive honestly
 
high horse nutter :lol:

Second time in a week your eyesight has been shown to be lacking.

Watch it again, the keeper took him out and got nowhere near the ball.

Penalty.

OMFG shut the feck up according to Eduardo diving weekly, if hte player is going down before he is touched its a fecken dive. Rooney was, its a dive.

Yes, you are probably right, i think the last 15 minutes of emotions were over coming me. Fletch was brilliant today. Some stray balls near the end but he ran his socks off today. Well done lad!
 
That was an odd game for two top sides, it showed that Arsenal is a very good side mind.

Mr Wenger, great contribution.

That could be said to every United fan on this forum.

your challenge will be the squad...I said that elsewhere. Once the injuries start piling up...and it does for all teams in several competitions, the quality of the squad will tell.
