Wenger contends, and having seen the replay a few times I think he may well be right, that there was contact between the goalkeeper and Eduardo. That being so I think overruling the referee in this instance would set an appalling precedent.

The contact was after Eduardo did his triple back pike with an inward tuck routine...

Was Rooney already going to ground before keeper made contact? Bizarre own goal to compound matters. Perhaps it's for the better that United won, as Arsenal were otherwise magnificent and winning may have given them an unbreakable confidence for rest of season.


Watched the Liverpool game in a pub in West Kensington and it was rammed with about 100 Reds. Have to say it was a great atmosphere with plenty of singing. I thus knock the Vale on the head!

I'm pretty sure there was nothing wrong with the Rooney Pen. I wouldn't have been suprised to see Fletcher's takle being given as a pen either.


No way there's was any need for all those yellow cards and the Wenger sending off was ridiculous. I thought, all in all it was a well balanced game and a draw would have been a fair result but you just can't legislate for an own goal like that.

Yes he'd been taking lessons from the ladyboy Ronaldo.

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I'm pleased to have gone onto a meter as it has saved us money.  When first fitted we found there was a leak and TW replaced the old lead pipe with plastic (we had to pay the last few metres into the house but some geezer did this at a fair price). No doubt others have positive experiences too.   Otherwise I'm no fan of the private utilities but that shouldn't colour our opinions.

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By vladi · Posted

      I recall that when the meter was installed it it was not set at zero. Presumably it had come from elsewhere or was a recon one.    Same here. I phoned TW today to ask if there was a meter at our property (even though I knew there was) and I was told quite categorically that there was not and that our bill was calculated on RV value When I asked why we used to get our meter readings shown online in our account, It they could not provide an explanation. Our RV value according to TW is 547 which equated to a 4-5 bedroom property with a large garden. With just two of us living here then our consumption must be well below the expected volume. Given the facts, I am totally convinced no that TW have an algorithm that hides the actual meter readings when the actual consumption is below the RV based consumption suggesting they are a bunch of shameless rogues!!
