The fact that we had just a clear onside decision flagged as off in the first half, and the keane scores from an onside position rankles somewhat


Fabianski tho ? that experiment has to stop. As well as wrists made out of coat hanger wire his reactions to the Bentley miss was horrific to see


Bentley btw ? a textbook case for all young English players about what happens I fyou believe your own hype.

Hmmm...the referee was shit. Is he a Gooner or what? Both penalties looked a bit harsh to me especially the first one from where I was sitting in the West Stand and they effectively killed us off. Arsenal put out a more experienced team than ours but I'll accept the defeat. I think Arsenal having not won anything for a long time would like some silverware and good luck to them in the Carling Cup.

One positive I take from the match is the performance of Sandro. He looks a top player and I think we've got ourselves a bargain there.

Totally agree with you on this. He was absolute rubbish last night and not for the first time either. Message to Harry - Get rid.

I'm sure mr Wenger reciprocates and wishes mr Redknapp in his quest to win th title for the first time in 50 years. I can't help but think the recent clamour to appoint mr Redknapp as the next England manager. His record at Southampton, Portsmouth, and West Ham leave a lot to be desired, that and accustaions of dodgy dealings are not ideal, not by a long way.
Well I suppose someone has to, I felt for the lad who was pictured crying as his team were been given a lesson in fotballing skills. If his dad had any heart at all, he should have told him this is what usually happens when they meet better opposition. Bentley again demonstrated why Arsenal got shot of him. It is interseting that you accuse the ref of being biased, especially as he did not card the first 4 hacks at Wilshere. God help us if he refs us against Blackburn or Bolton.
Well I would say that as he has grown older he has become quite gracious in defeat. This was not meant to be bait Anna just my observation of him. If you're just blinkered in your view of him then so be it. I bet you'd have liked him to be your manager over the last 20 years.

What do you base that comment on Keef? So you'd rather have a nice chappie in charge and finish mid table each season than a so called 'nasty bastard' who wins you the league? That's bo**ix.

Being a bad loser is partly what makes someone a winner in my book. It gives them that drive to succeed. Most successful managers over the years have been terrible losers. Ferguson and Wenger are perfect examples of winging moaners, blaming referees and whatnot. They're bad losers but have a quick look in their trophy cabinets. Not exactly bare are they?

Well Wenger's has been for a while, and Hughs & Big Sam are 2 very very bad losers, and they haven't won much.

No, I never said that.


If I was a United fan *shudders*, I'd obviouslt hold Fergie in very very high regard, and be chuffed with all he'd won. BUT, I don't think I'd be completely comfortable with the man, and his behaviour, because he's a coont (to quote ratty).


Sh!t like the "hairdryer", in my book is not the way anyone should be treating their players. If you're happy winning in that way, good on ya, but I think it stinks.

I think it's also a little unfair to call someone like Ferguson a nasty bastard. I'm pretty sure if you asked most people involved in football on a day to day basis they would say he's a pretty good man. He does a lot for football in general and he is pretty supportive of other managers and players.

Why is it that whenever an observation is made about personnel at Manchester United, people get all defensive and instead of providing examples to justify why they feel that observation is incorrect we result to "well he's better than your manager" type arguments?


Mr Ferguson being gracious in defeat has nothing at all to do with any other team.

Well what do you want Keef? Presumably you'd like to win something.Would you care what happened in the dressing room if your team won the league and played good football? Man U have done that for years now and it's down to Ferguson. He gets the best out of his players most of the time. There are not many ex Man U players who have complained about him. There are quite a few who have become managers themselves. It's also been noted on many occasion that Fergie is often the first one on the phone to a manager who has been sacked. People could say that he only won what he did in England because of Man U's money but that doesn't explain how he managed to win so much with a club like Aberdeen in Scotland.

Spot on. United fans are without doubt the most sensitive of creatures who are easily offended and find it necessary to defend even the slightest critiicism, it borders on paranoia.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
