Ahhh Brilliant. Two from two. Nani's "I'll just go between these two blokes" was absolutely fantastic - woke my entire house up.

Good six pointer win, exactly what we needed. Now it would be nice if the arse could do us a favour and actually beat Chelsea.

Oh I'm ecstatic. f**king faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnntastic.

Can't go past the result.
I was surprised as I did not think Utd would win this one.I am sure Arsenal fans won't be happy but to be fair they played some great football at times, but could not score
Overall there probably was not 3-1 in the game but Arsenal played tip tap in the wrong areas.

Really? I think you could of scored 6 on another day. Rooney and Nani both missed sitters not to mention other chances you had throughout the match.

You don't need to be nice to us if you don't want to, we were f**king hopeless. Again, in a big match, we didn't show up. Or perhaps we did, but with the complete wrong tactics.

Three for me, and two for them.

Yeh, they played tip-tap too early and eventually just crowded the box.

Rooney is allowed to miss sitters if the match is already rapped up but Nani's sitter was pretty crap. Still though, the rest of his game was fantastic and provided an X-Factor.

Loved the commentator after he did that, " That would've been impressive in the back yard, never lone in front of 70,000 fans"

Well it was Wes Brown... Jonny Evans was immense though, alongside a slightly quicker defender like Smailing and we will have two high quality, young defenders on our books.

It was meat to be Evans and Pique as the next pair of centre backs... but unfortunately (for us) Pique got an offer that involved 1st team action sooner and he took it! Hopefully Smalling can be the player we wanted Pique to become

The biggest problem for Arsenal was that United had a lot more 'steel' They don't seem to know how to tackle?

Pique > Rio. Haven't actually watched Evans enough, but I suspect he's better than him too.

. Give me a break. Xavi, Iniesta, Messi and co destroyed you. And they didn't even attack you (see Real Madrid 2-6 Barcelona for a fantastic attacking performance; actually, look at a few of our recent games in the Nou Camp too!). You just couldn't get the ball!
 
Pique is f**king class.

You can't tackle "the divers" thats the only reason no one gets the ball, they'll just fall over. And how shocking 2 of the best players in the world broke down a 22 y/o.

Besides, we only lost the champions league cos Fletcher couldn't play (hence losing the midfield battle, not so much the defense's fault) Didn't we beat Barcelona the year before... Barcelona didn't score did they? :]

"We" and they call me a glory supporter? Michael2010-02-04 18:01:19

Must be because they're Spanish, huh? I can't believe you genuinely think that Barcelona players are more guilty of diving than some other teams. You had Ronaldo, for f**ks sake! Messi- played for the team. Ronaldo= fail. Long may that continue. You got hammered. Admit it. Don't blame them for diving. They keep the ball better than any side in world football.

Well it was obvious to virtually everyone that observed the final. I even heard Man U fans concede that, although obviously such a concession would be a bit much to ask from someone such as yourself.

The second they Puyol gets tackled he falls over, happens the entire match, Barc get closed down back to Puyol so he just falls over.

I'm not denying we were out played - I'm simply saying that if we had Fletcher it probably would've been more competitive, admittedly no ones going to stop Barcelona getting their Treble.

Obviously saying Barcelona are Divers means I'm only talking about the CL. Oh well at least we were their.

Fixed.
 
Sorry mate. I'm not having that first part about Puyol. Have you watched the Premier League in the last few years? Almost every defender just falls over when there is a chance they could lose the ball. And generally the foul goes to the defender. Although, to be fair, Vidic tends to just f**k it up completely so Torres can have a clean run at goal . But whatev. I think to pick Puyol out when very defender does that is pretty unfair. I've seen Evra throw himself to the ground a few times in the past.
 
Oh, and second is nowhere, as they say! That's why my  in the League last year...
 
Anyway, I'm just having you on. Pique is good though, and all that. And Barca fall over as much as any team from La Liga. But they are also a f**king class side. But I'm just being a dick. Neither Atleti or Libpool are in the CL this year, so I can hardly take the high ground!

Do you think your precious league would be the 'best in the world' if you didn't have a whole bunch of overseas players come in?
 
And exactly Buffy and HN. I don't like to blow the trumpet of Real Madrid at all, and of course it was suspicious... But 9 European Cups. Thats three times what you've won. And 30 La Liga titles. So how about you f**k off and have a bit of respect. And don't try and bring in the national team and get all smarmy like.

Back to the topic...
 
 
Good result this morning, nice to improve the goal difference a little bit although realistically should have been a few more lol.
 
Still no Vidic... Hopefully he's fit for midweek, if not then the following midweek in Milan. Will be a shame when he leaves at the end of the season.
