Arsenal vs Manchester United

Remember lads, there is still 45 minutes left. It's a fantastic HT score, but we mustn't get to carried away.

Edi: O'Shea warming up apparently, who's injured ? :nervous:
 
Bit of a dire first half IMO. Very cagey and we arn't keeping possession.
Hargreaves and Anderson are looking real quality at breaking up their play though. Amazed at how good Anderson is doing at defensive duty. He's really wound up today though, needs to maybe calm down just a tad with his rolling and asking for cards. But as long as he keeps playing how he is can't complain much.

1-0 though!! :D Hope we go out and play with a bit more confidence on keeping possesion now.
 
A pretty weak performance by us, I'm delighted to be leading, now normal service can be resumed and we'll go on to score four past them.

To all the cnuts asking for links, feck off and get a tv you cnuts. This is a matchday thread, the mods should make another forum for that.

Hargreaves and Anderson have been doing very well, Wes has been the best player on the pitch.

We should sub Giggs for Nanni after some sixty odd minutes.

Let's go United.
 
Anderson's been our best player so far (although no United player really shone yet).

Tevez needs to get into the game and Hargreaves could also do a bit better. That's why I still Carrick is still the better option for us, he offers much more
 
The Arsenal fans are pissing me off yelling hoof everytime we play a ball forward.
 
Hargreaves defensive work has been spot on so far, Anderson going forward has had some great passes as well as tracked back, hes been involved in quite a lot, just hope he sorts his head out for the second half.
 
Needs to cut out the rolling about and the card waving business, not good for the image of United

Yeah i'm sure the neutrals will adhere to United if Anderson cuts out his antics.:smirk:

Don't worry, SAF will take care of that.
 
Just seen our new Brazilian Twins in the new FIFA 08 advertise with Ronaldinho :D

anyone see it? on Sky Sports 1
 
Continuing similarly is what I consider to be sitting back.
I reckon we've just been sloppy in their half, which means they've had more posession and able to drive into our half.

Cut that out and we'll have more attacking potency.
 
Oh and by the way, when did Andy Gray become officially a cnut of the highest order? I bet he's wearing an Arsenal shirt. Probably with Fabregas' number.

He was born a cnut of the highest order.
 
To be fair, we need Anderson to player higher up the field at the moment.

To be fair, Anderson can't go any higher as Arsenal are playing 5 in midfield. That would leave Hargreaves with 3 players to mark. Thats something SAF has instructed, not something Anderson has been doing.
 
I agree re: the Setanta commerntary. It's like they're there to watch just the one team, the home side. Hopefully, we'll come out and force them to notice that they're watching the wrong team, and remind them who are the Champions. There's a fair amount of disrespect in their comments.

That said, keep it up. We're containing their midfield, largely, and the second half is almost guaranteed to open up, so be ready, red men!
 
Come on United!!!

Keep up the good defensive play, stay focused and try to get a 2nd!!!!
 
Argh! Martin Keown is on the telly

Reasonable analysis though, he doesn't have his cock out like most other cnuts, thankfully
 
Given as an own goal to Gallas.

Having seen it again, I think that's fair, Rooney's shot was going across the box, not into the net.

where they wearing Man united kits...or brazil
 
I hate seeing us play the waiting game and out of sync with the attackers but that was the right tactic to use,alternatively we could have gone for a 3 Man midfield with carrick.

We've been quite offensively and i guess saf wanted the 3 points more than the tag of best football,can't complain though.
 
Our games against them was always going to be boring.. more technical... more like a chess...
Well both are cautious...... Even arsenal did not get a single chance.... other than the one with Gallas..
SO how the feck are we lucky.. Just because they;re passing around..
