Alright boys, just finished up watching the game and thought id voice my opinions on the site!!
 
A very entertaining match, although i thought it was a bit harsh for us (the arse) to go down both times after we controlled the pitch and chances, not to take anything away from the finsihing of man utd's goals.
 
At the end of the day, 2-2...
 
...fair result??? Why or why not?

Fair I think, it was a very even game...Man U controlled much of the opening 15 minutes then the tide turned and Arsenal took control till half time...Second half was pretty much even, both sides playing great attacking football...Man U would be gutted though to give away such a late goal.

I thought arsenal controlled most play from amout the get go and even though manchester united had their scoring oppourtunities, which they capalized, they didnt seem much of a attacking threat up front. Defensivly they kept there own, but it surley can be said Arsenal did not deserve to be 1-0 down at the half, or 2-1 up at the 80th. If anyone was going to leave Emirates with 3 points, i thought it should have been arsenal, but once again, draw is fair.
 
I would of killed myself if we not savaged that late goal, and im sure no team likes concedding at all, expecially 90th minute, but arsenal got what wouldnt come in the first place. A dam goal.

I thought that we (Arsenal) were the ones that looked good early. Liked the Hleb run right from the kick-off showing good intent. Going in to half time I thought 0-0 was fair but ManU managed to take their chance and go in with the advantage. Adebayor looked like a constant threat up front showing great strength. I thought Ronaldo would be far too good for Clichy but Clichy held his own and Rosicky helped out with a few good challenges. Overall I think that the draw was fair, if any team deserved the 3 it was Arsenal.

a great game for the neutral - not often I'm not bothered who wins!

good football from both sides, a bit of passion, thought Arsenal deserved to draw -good away football by Man u though

very impressed by Arsenal's fluidity

Draw was fair, but old red nose is full of sh*te when he claims Howard Webb favoured Arsenal.

Three for me, and two for them.

I thought Arsenal had more of the play but were maybe a bit too cautious going forward in the first half. RVP is certainly missed. Especially from free kick situations. Adebayor ran all day and showed surprising pace for a man of his height. Hleb was brilliant. Ronaldo had a very quiet game. How many times though do United score from - cross, 6 yard box tap in/header. You'd think teams would be able to counter it. Saying that, what was Almunia doing going out so far. I'm surprised none of the commentators said anything about it. I bet Lehmann would have been crucified if he did it.

I think it was a fair result. I thought we had a draw on the cards, but the boys couldnt have made me wait longer for it! Very, very stoked that the linesman called the gallas goal. Think our back four rocked. Clichy and sagna had solid games - not to mention kolo and willie. To be honest, I think Man U could have won that game, they seemed a biot more clinical up front and if they created the chance would have converted, whereas Arsenal had brilliant fluidity but sometimes seemed reluctant up front. cant wait for the RVP/ADE combo again. We're still top!

RVP would have defenatly stirred things up a bit, it would have given Arsenal a differnt dimension to attack and who knows, could have even edged over the skumfolk and won the game!
