And you, and everybody else who has reacted like you to this whole sorry situation, will rise hugely in my estimation if you all react in the same way that you have to Ramseys broken leg.

[jimmy two times]

I have sympathy for Ramsey and I don't think at any point have I condoned the type of tackling that causes this type of injury.

Oh Man - me too. Was running line once when a lad's leg went snap - could here it from the other side of the pitch! Ugh!

Nigel de Jong speaks the truth -

""I went for the ball and got the opponent at the end.

"I had no evil intent. If the ball is between me and the opponent, you have to go in full. If you do not then the opponent takes you.

"And if you're scared in a game you get injured yourself."

Wasn't talking about Arsenal, but may as well have been.

Enough already, see previous posts. Lets draw a line under this now.

The last post by Ruffers looks like it's the straw that broke the camel's leg.

[Jah Lush]

Camel toe?

[jimmy two times]

Sounds like Atila. He's always got the hump.

OOOhhh comic genius at work, a one liner Groucho Marx would be proud of, but then as a spuds or Pompey fan you need a good sense of humour, especially as Pompey will me playing in the dizzying heights of the Championship next season. Now thats funny.

Yes Jah, indeed you are.

[ratty]

As if any Pompey fans give a toss about being relegated. It's part of the journey. Not interested in being a glory hunter prem fan, but at least we won something recently ;)

check them out? I was expecting pics. Statistics can be very misleading.

[????]

Apparently Shawcross has had over 300 emails of support from Arsenal fans, saying they didn't think the tackle had intent or was dangerous........I'm sure Atila must have sent one

I presume you'll take a passing interest in tomorrow's proceedings. I'd be gutted if we lose but this game's got banana skin writ large all over it.

Wow yet another comic colossus on the forum, yet another gem Oscar Wilde would have been proud of. Do you guys sit up at night toiling over your keyboards for inspiraion for these gems, or does being funny just come naturally. I'm flattered by all the attention from you guys. Group hug anyone?

[ratty]

WEMBERLEEEEE!!!!

[brum]

Well done to Pompey - at least they can salvage something now from a disastrous season. Really disappointed in the way we played, particularly in the final third. Absolutely gutted that the goal was not allowed when the ball had clearly crossed the line before James palmed it out. But by then the game was lost anyway. Come on Reading!

[matthew123]

Well done Arsenal going joint top. How they have done it with no money and playing entertaining football tells you everything you need to know about Arsene Wenger the Manager.

[Mick Mac]

If Arsenal win the league it will be ironic given that they have showed they have no idea how to handle Chelsea or Man United. It seems however they handle the other 18 or so lesser teams better - so far at least.

But they have a fragility that showed today in that they could easily have conceded a late goal. So no Arsenal fan would be confident going into any match that they will actually take their chances and put the match to bed before the final whistle. Having said that, a decent striker and they might have been clear at this stage.

*awaits lazy sarcastic comparison to a comic great.....tony hancock if you don't mind*

Ratty - just back from Fratton. Better team on the day won and the 'not allowed' goal didn't really matter. Congrats.

Edited to correct the typos caused by beer.

And I'll be back for the PL game on Tuesday for some reason.

[Ladygooner]

another exciting day at the Emirates - Bendtner could have had at least 6 but somehow missed them all! Well done to Pompey! Come on Fulham!!

[kpc]

That sounds like Bendtner and it begs the question as to whether he'll fulfil his potential. Clearly got talent but he's one of those players who needs to apply himself more and develop an edge to his play rather than a slightly lazy arrogance.
