I really don't see it that way RD


Arsenal shot themselves in the foot at home (again) and performed decently away. Nothing invincible about BM


It's the sort of fixture that can transform the Moyes era if they pull it off


Going to be some cracking tv over these matches

I'm going to embrace the underdog role BR, it's a win win situation ;-)

SJ is right, until Arsenal went down to 10 men they more than held their own. The first leg is key, if we go out gung ho they'll just pick us off, a low scoring draw would set up the 2nd leg nicely...

Due to the lightheadness of drawing Bayern, forgot to ask earlier, what did you mean exactly?..

Yeah if we had lost game 50 to say... Derby playing like that I'd get it


It is a backhanded compliment but it still irks. Teenage Rooney and vanN. I think it sowed the seed of doubt in arsenal teams to this day. So you can definitely say it was worth it from a united perspective


But I do think less of Man U because of it as well

Anyone got an opinion on Boyd's 3 match ban for spitting at Joe Hart? (BR I'd be interested in your take).


First of all, he dived, no question. But I thought Hart's reaction was out of order, and I thought when I first saw it on MOTD, that looks really bad in slow mo, but he's basically shouting in Hart's face, he hasn't gobbed at him.


I still think that, and was surprised he got the ban.

Don't you think the previous year's fixture at OT might have something to do with their approach? Van the man got a lot of stick and players from both side got bans as a result of it (more from Arsenal). So regardless of what might have been at stake it was going to be feisty.

That's a bit like saying England are from London. I could only think of Ajax and that was stretching it a bit.


As for the Wanderers....they have reformed and play at Belair Park in some Surrey league. Any other Wanderers would just be a fake imitation......

England player escapes ban in World Cup year shocker.

I agree that Boyd didn't deliberatey spit at Hart.

Do the FA ever give a written explanation as to how the independent panel arives at a judgement?

If not, it would help...

I'm talking about Woolwich Wanderers, the club they call the Arsenal.


Going back to SJ's thing about Reyes getting roughed up. He couldn't hack British football. He'd go over with a gust of wind. He was an easy target. It's no wonder he soon went back to Spain. They've been plenty of Arsenal players over the years who could cut it rough if they wanted to.

    • 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
