I enjoyed this terrific match. It was a really good game. The only problem I have is that if the ref thinks Gallas' tucked in behind his back handball was a penalty, then surely Rooney's outstretched arm was definitely a penalty as well.

Last time I checked the biceps are part of the arms. The ref DID NOT see Gallas' handball, and neither his linesman. He couldn't have seen it because Gallas' arm was close to his body and almost behind his back. The linesman's view was blocked judging from the replay. So, the ref just called it a penalty for the Man Utd as soon as your Mancs called it. The ref SAW Rooney's handball, but he ate his whistle. Points to Fergie!

At any rate it was a really good game. Your Mancs "won", but I'd be a bit concerned if I were you bro. That's not enough to win CL, and Fergie won't have a friendly ref, you know that.

I can't believe they gave Rio MOTM!
VDS was my MOTM, not only he made a host of excellent saves from them Gooners, he also had to save Rio and Brown's best efforts on goal. Hargreaves also gets a shout for MOTM. Really good game!

The players have not been over used! they have played roughly the same amount of games as those from Manu and Chelsea. They are not just performing! our main players(toure, gallas,cesc,hleb,ade) have all been Cr@p

I've given up hope of getting penalties so I didn't really react to the alleged Rooney handball. We were lucky to be awarded our goal so I guess the two cancel out. Shame the decisions were one way traffic against Luckypool.

You didn't get the calls against my Reds either. I see Liverpool and Arsenal dead even. The difference in the CL tie was the two penalties that went against Arsenal. Both teams are even strengths.

Your match today against the Mancs, IF the ref does not call the penalty against Arsenal, he'd sent off a Gooner to bring the Mancs back into the match. I am convinced of that! In a game were Man Utd were committing most of the fouls, he was whipping out yellow cards right and left on your Gooners.

It's not "good" for Arsenal to win the EPL. Too many "Johnny Foreigners" and not enough English players in that team.

I'm starting to lose faith in this team. Their quality is not in question, it's their attitude and application. This team never learn, they are guilty of making the same mistakes over and again;

we were undone by 2 long balls into the box at stamford bridge, not long after we made the same mistake vs pool and were punished. We conceded straight after we scored Vs pool in the 1st leg of the CL and u thought the players would learn but what happened? they went on to make the same mistake just a week after against the same team and u saw they did the same Vs Manu today.

They won't win a thing in their career if they continue failing to learn from their mistakes and not doing the basics right( like defending a simple long ball, maximum concentration after going ahead etc)e.

Although had Ade scored just 1 in three of the excellent chances he has been getting we'd have won most of the last 8 games and be in a completely different place.

I hate seeing incidents like gallas' punished with a goal though. it's always disapppointing to see such an innocent situation rewarded with a goal. But these are the rules and sometimes the ball just bounces in the wrong place. I don't think he meant to hand it

Not really sure what he's on about either tbh. Clichy's cross was saved by VDS and Rooney chested the ball and booted it out. Not one Arsenal player appealed for a handball. Maybe you prefer those euro refs who give penalties such as the one Roma got on wednesday Puro. But they aint to great going by that

Or u could also say we'd been going places now had the defenders stopped gifting opponents soft goals. Nothing pisses me off than when i see us scoring a well worked goal(requiring a lot of skill, intelligence, technqiue etc) and then proceed to gift the opposition a goal with them virtually doing nothing for it.

There's no point laying the blame entirely on Ade, everyone is to blame probably bar 2 players(flamini and sagna)

Are you being sarcastic? He was easily the best attacking player today. He only lacks end product because Adebayor can't finish 1on1s.

No there have been some bad mistakes in defence as well but my point is we have made enough chances to make them irrelevant.

The defence has been Cr@p not the midfield. We still own the midfield even without Flamini when we are tried and manU have Scholes (apparently in good form after being fresh from an injury) and Hargreaves (fresh and just had a great performance vs Roma) and Carrick (in great form). Blame the defence for conceding $h!t goals, giving away penalties, and getting out jumped. Blame Gilberto for continuously giving away freekicks if not the ball. Blame Ade for missing numerous open chances, blame Wenger for the stupid team selection but Hleb and Cesc (and Flamini) have never been overrun by any midfield this season. Hleb was still creating the chances and Cesc was still advancing our play today.

I thought Rooney brought down the ball with his left biceps. Bendtner appealed for a penalty right away indicating to the ref where the ball hit Rooney, but you'll never see Bendtner scream at the ref demanding a PK like say Gerrard or Flumps. So the ref wasn't moved by his appeal.

At any rate, who are we kidding? a PK against Rooney, the Mancs, AT the "Theatre of Dreams"?

Hey bro, Fergie NEEDS to tighten up the team for Barça. I'm sure he and Queiroz will.

You really think the form of Hleb and Cesc has been acceptable for the past weeks(probably when we needed them most)? They have just been as guilty as giving the ball away or not doing enough in the attacking 3rd.

Puro that was in no way a penalty ffs. Barcelona need to tighten up a lot more than us, so we'll them worry about that
Vidic will be back and the game wont be at such a mental pace as today.

That's why the EPL is the best league in the world Puro, where else will you see a game with so many top players played at that pace? We brought on the worlds best youngster and the 3 time south american player of the year. Incredible quality
