Manchester United vs Arsenal

Why the hell are Sky giving Arsenal so much credit? for feck sakes, all they did was defend and had a large slice of luck - what about our performance?
 
Feck me that was a performance though?
The out of form and struggling United just battered the most in-form team atm.

We are looking better and better with each match and feeling the rhythm right now. Surely hope that we can carry on the momentum against Boro in the weekend.

That's why I'm happy with the result.
 
It's too bad that they couldn't get a second tonight....oh wait they did but for a bad, not just wrong linesman decision, they would have had it. As for the team selection and play tonight, all good. SAF got it right with both his initial team selection and subs. Tevez might have shaken his head about being subbed off so early but he was on a yellow and there still is Saturday to think about. Berbatov and Giggs were very good and allowed United to maintain more possession.

Lets face facts, we were by far the better team - we know that they know that whoever watched the game knew that, but we only scored one. In a game where we should have got at least 3 goals we end up with one, and that will give Asnl a huge boast. Personally i think those 'pundits' are right wenger is perhaps the more happier of the managers because he feels that a 1 nil loss can be overturned away.

I am not gutted by the result because we won and put in a performance which should scare the living shit out of Asnl and their fans but i do wonder about the missed chances and i felt thats what Sky were going for, it would have been easy for them to say how good we were but they want to give the neutral viewers hope that theres still a job to be done and how we should watch the second leg. We know how well we played and that should be good enough, who cares what Sky think - it wont give our players a reason to get complacent!
 
have we ever cared what sky think?
they're all has-beens anyway!

Exactly feck the media and let them talk about how Asnl are favs to go to the final (even though they are 1 nil down) it will just be sweeter if we make it to the final (i say if because i am still gutted that we only got 1 :mad:)

well apparently we didn't have a prayer against porto ( over there ) and we're in a much stronger position now!
 
Well done, you absolutely dominated us. Unlucky not to score more goals. Adebayor needs to learn to play in this team and not for team Adebayor, its like he doesnt train with them or anything. theo should never have come off, he's the only one creating anything in attack, even if it was still very little. If we had of held it to 0-0 there would of been no difference between this performance and United @ barca last season, but we didn't and its uphill. We were lucky to escape only 1 down so we have it all to do in the second leg. What's news on rio?

There were 3 poisitives for us and thats about it.

1. Song is good.
2. Gibbs isn't as bad as most think, he just needs to not give his man as much room on the ball.
3. Almunia is awesome.
