More like the past week than life I'd say.

[????]

I am no fan of the Mancs by any stretch (although I'm warmer to them as a result of the bias rubbish that gets posted on on here about them, ferguson, Rooney etc) but there is no way that they'd let 4-0 go and that's why I suspect they will be deserved champions this year.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I'm calming down a bit now and fair dues to Newcastle players and crowd for keeping going

What I would say is that there is NO WAY Man Utd would get two such soft penalties given against them. they just wouldn't

And did I hear Arsene Wenger right, when asked about the penalty decisions, that his "views were unimportant". That's a first!

[SeanMacGabhann]

I mean... penalty?

If anyone thinks there would be two penalties given against utd like that they're dreaming

And yet and yet... it is still Arsenal's fault. I do know that. I'm more angry with them than I am anyone else (apart from the ref). and Newcastle had a good goal disallowed

But no way would Utd or Chelsea have those two decisions given against them. And that played a HUGE part in the result

And watching our keeper get a card whilst 2 newcastle players basically assaulted him? It's bullshit. I genuinely am all Fabregas about the ref's performance. who payed who?

[Jah Lush]

The myopic Wenger normally sees nothing unless it's given against him.

[kpc]

Sean, are you forgetting Bendtner being felled by a light breeze last week?

But looking at that second penalty, if he did give it against Rosicky, it's quite amazing from his position on the other side of the goal (and in line) unless the linesman indicated the push.

[SeanMacGabhann]

soft pens are given all the time. And I'll take the first one. But the second on it's own is bad enough, but combined with the general way decisions went in the second half has my spidey senses going

All told it's still Arsenal's fault. I'm just repeating that Man Utd or Chelsea would not have the same tally of decisions given against them. I think. For now. Maybe I'm wrong

[Jah Lush]

Penalty! Deffo! Rosicky pushes him.

[kpc]

Who then legged it away from the scene. Guilty!

[Sandperson]

First one was a blatant push from Rosicky.

Looks like Wolves didn't need a half time drink so it won't matter much anyway. Boo! :(

In a football / gaming crossover question. I've just ordered fifa for xbox. Does anyone know if they do a downloadable update after the transfer window closes, and maybe change player ratings?

United lose to bottom club. Whoops.

[Sandperson]

Still, at least we weren't 4 goals clear....;)

[Jah Lush]

Can't wait for MOTD tonight. More goals scored in the Premiership today than at any other time.

[Annasfield]

WTF is going on in the Premiership today?

[Sandperson]

I should have added in my previous post that it sounded like Wolves were good for the win. I wonder why they don't play with such guile every week. Good luck to them.

[Ladymuck]

Buggar!

But that's the spirit Sandperson.(tu)

[Narnia]

Sort of glad it was Wolves who did it if it was going to happen. They've tried to play good football all season without much luck.

[kpc]

Their home form is fine, away they are shocking. And Doyle was out for a while earlier this season - his return has made a difference.

[Ladymuck]

Agreed Narnia...imagine if it had been Arsenal...or God forbid...Chelsea....oh the shame...or, dare I say it...Liverpool LOL!

Edited to insert Narnia's name in order to avoid confusion.

Edited a 2nd time because I forgot to insert Narnia's name. Ahem...
