Man United vs Arsenal

[PaulMacC]

Just a thread to discuss the match and predictions.
I think It will be 0-0 or 1-1.

[Browney]

I think most people have ruled out Arsenal winning by now, which might be a tad foolish but hey ho, which means the real pressure is on United to win and get a precious few points ahead of facing Chelsea. Anyway, I'm predicting 2-1 to United. Although, I could see a draw and the title being decided at Stamford Bridge.

[Jordie]

1-0 arsenal

[lPinoy]

Arsenal have been in a poor run lately (which ended against bolton) so I'll have to say 2-0 to Manchester United.
Dont think the 4-0 FA cup win will ever happen again, tbh.
Unless we play their reserve team :D

[Tristan]

Man Utd 3 - 1 Arsenal.
:)

[rawritsluke]

Ronaldo, rooney, teves. Don't matter what order they play but they still score goals as all 3 are on fire atm.

[Carello]

I can't see arsenal winning :(

[Xeck]

Win or bust for Arsenal today. Can't see us winning though.

[Sharpsterz]

all of the glory supporters will be crying if united lose today :P


come on arsenal!

[Andys]

1-1 is my prediction.

[Simmzay]

I don't feel any pressure. Hopefully they feel liberated to play free of pressure and get the desired result. Looks unlikely though.

[Mrs.Lampard]

I think United will win but..
Come on Arsenal (Y)

[Geraint]

After the way Arsenal played against Liverpool on Tuesday, the have every chance. Arsenal just have to go out and play football like they normally do.

[Tristan]

all of the glory supporters will be crying if united lose today :P


come on arsenal!

...
Not all supporters of Man Utd are glory supporters. :neutral:
Even if some don't live in the hometown of the team, it doesn't make them glory supporters.

[Kasabian]

I think he was aiming the comment at those who have never been to Old Trafford.

I think if Arsenal come out fighting, like they did against Liverpool, they could win this game.
Arsenal 3-2 Man Utd.

[--ss--]

Arsenal really need this and after the Liverpool loss i'm pretty sure they will be determined to give it all out for the premiership tittle.

[stupidben]

urm we beat roma 7 - 0 at the theatre of dreamsss and we beat arsenal 4 - 0 so i think 8 - 0.

[Rarelime]

I cant see Arsenal's defence holding out against Man United. 3-1 United.

[Geraint]

urm we beat roma 7 - 0 at the theatre of dreamsss and we beat arsenal 4 - 0 so i think 8 - 0.

So much of a supporter, he doesn't know the score.

Why doesn't Wenger realise that Arsenal need Theo Walcott. He's better than Eboue.

[stupidben]

So much of a supporter, he doesn't know the score.
:P


lool

im sute it was 7 - 0 or 7 - 1?

[Kasabian]

urm we beat roma 7 - 0 at the theatre of dreamsss and we beat arsenal 4 - 0 so i think 8 - 0.
Wow, I agree with your name. ;)

:P


lool

im sute it was 7 - 0 or 7 - 1?

That wasn't this season, was it dumbass.

[stupidben]

Wow, I agree with your name. ;)

That wasn't this season, was it dumbass.


if u read battology or w.e u are i said we beat.... yes it was last season? i didnt say it was this season u *******s?

[Browney]

:P


lool

im sute it was 7 - 0 or 7 - 1?


7-1. :P

But still 4-0 against Arsenal is a great score but it's a completely different Arsenal to back then. If I remember rightly, they were cripplled by injuries.

[Simmzay]

Lehmann

Toure
Song
Gallas
Clichy

Eboue
Gilberto
Fabregas
Hleb

Van Persie
Adebayor

Oh dear. Seems Almunia's injured, and Song at CB? Why? This looks more of a given-up lineup than anything else. Eboue over Walcott? Wow

[stupidben]

7-1. :P

Hmm yer but they did play there best 2 strikers and we compleatly out played them!

anyway this will be a great game!

[Nereo]

Man Utd will win :D

[stupidben]

nice team ;]

Man Utd: Van der Sar,
Brown,
Ferdinand,
Pique,
Evra,
Ronaldo,
Carrick,
Hargreaves,
Scholes,
Park,
Rooney.
Subs: Kuszczak, Anderson, Giggs, O'Shea, Tevez.

[Geraint]

Van Persie
Adebayor

Think of it this way. At least Senderos isn't playing.

[Simmzay]

Fair enough.

[Kasabian]

if u read battology or w.e u are i said we beat.... yes it was last season? i didnt say it was this season u *******s?

Come on, you couldn't even remember the bleeding score for christ sake.
That's how much of a great munchester united fan you are, eh?

Oh, and come back when you learn to avoid the filter, aiiiiiight?

[Jade-x-x]

Is there any actuall english players that play for english teams today,

Arsenal is probally te worste.

Why cant English teams these days have english players ?

[brandon]

Manchester United
Gary Neville
Owen Hargreaves
Rio Ferdinand
Wes Brown
Wayne Rooney
Ben Foster
Michael Carrick
Paul Scholes

Arsenal
Theo Walcott

Both teams have more English players but they are the main ones.

[Tristan]

Because the large majority suck.
But Manchester United are great with English players, and they are real good.

[Kasabian]

The majority of the english players are youth team players. I hope that they introduce a cap on the amount of foreign players you can have in your squad.

[Geraint]

If English teams had to have English players, the premier league wouldn't be where it is now.

[Kasabian]

It makes more sense to have english players in the english league though.

Eboue's having a bloody 'mare!

[Tristan]

Anyone have any working links to loive streams?
Livefooty isn't working and I don't have sky sports. :neutral:

And to go with the England matter. The national teams rankings are affected by how each team in its country performs in Europe. Foreign players are helping England really.

Thanks, do you know which one works?
Does any of them because at the top it says start time for them all, 17:00.

[Geraint]

Yes

Central European time. I was going to say myp2p.eu like Tom.

Same.
Oh brandon, you babe.

[Tristan]

I normally watch it on that.
The SopCast one?
I click to play but it says that it can't display the page. :S :(

[Kasabian]

Load up sopcast first.
Also, when you click on it in IE it might not recognize the start of the URL, as it's a sopcast loader.

[Tristan]

Ah, don't worry. :P
Livefooty is finally working.

EDIT: omg. Man Utd 0 - 1 Arsenal. :(

[Andys]

Haha 1-0 Arsenal

[Tristan]

Woah Ferdinand's lucky......

PENALTYYYYYYYY

[Geraint]

Penatly Man Utd.

Gotta take it again.

Wth? He got penalised for stopping the first time, then he stopped the second time but it counted.

[Jade-x-x]

GOOOOAAAALLLLL 1-1

[Tristan]

LOL at Park!
omg retake.

[Andys]

Nah it's cause park was in the box when the ball was hit Cardiff.City

[Tristan]

Penatly Man Utd.

Gotta take it again.

Wth? He got penalised for stopping the first time, then he stopped the second time but it counted.

Yeah, Park ran in but Ronaldo stopped and he was like miles in the box lol!

1-1!

[brandon]

Ah, don't worry. :P
Livefooty is finally working.

EDIT: omg. Man Utd 0 - 1 Arsenal. :(
omg you jynxed it in the first place. Did you stop watching or something after they'd scored?

[Geraint]

Nah it's cause park was in the box when the ball was hit Cardiff.City

Not according to Alan Mullery.

[Tristan]

omg you jynxed it in the first place. Did you stop watching or something after they'd scored?

I was thinking someone was going to say that, lol!
luvyaz brandon.

[Geraint]

Theres one person that will win this for Arsenal. Theo Walcott.

EDIT: He's on for Eboue but it's about 60 minutes later than it should have been.

[The Undertaker]

Lehmann stood there like a plum :l Good free kick though.

2-1 United.

[Tristan]

Hargreaves omg!

[Geraint]

I was expecting a Ronaldo swerver into the top corner.

[Discharge Man]

As soon as Arsenal scored it was obvious they wouldn't win.

[Geraint]

Arsenal have been robbed twice in a week.

[Tristan]

Arsenal have been robbed twice in a week.

Hardly robbed in this game.
Beat.

[Geraint]

Hardly robbed in this game.
Beat.

Not allowed to stop in the run-up to a penalty.

[Excellent]

What a game! Ronaldo and Anderson are on fire!

[Excellent]

Damn linesman.

[Discharge Man]

Not allowed to stop in the run-up to a penalty.
Actually, you are.

If anything, Manchester United were robbed in this game even though they still won...

[Tristan]

Thank you very much.
It was retaken because of Park.

[Excellent]

Watch mr.wenger complain at the end of the game.

[Geraint]

Thank you very much.
It was retaken because of Park.

I was on about the second one.

[Tristan]

I was on about the second one.

Lol.
Well, like said - it's allowed. :)

[Rarelime]

Watch mr.wenger complain at the end of the game.

"I didn't see it..." - "It was not a penalty, or a freekick..." :rolleyes:

[Excellent]

"I didn't see it..." - "It was not a penalty, or a freekick..." :rolleyes:
Or his old favourite.. the ref isn't paying enough attention to our team.

[brandon]

Not allowed to stop in the run-up to a penalty.
If that was the case England might not keep losing to Portugal on penalty shoot outs.

Good game.

[Geraint]

Watch mr.wenger complain at the end of the game.

Because Mr. Ferguson never complains. He's the one who says the F.A. Cup is the not the same this year just because his club isn't in it.

[Excellent]

[PaulMacC]

2-1 FT ;S

[Kasabian]

Oh yeah!
Geraint, good luck trying to get into Europe, providing you beat Pompey.

[Geraint]

If that was the case England might not keep losing to Portugal on penalty shoot outs.

Good game.

You're allowed to slow down just you can't come to a complete stop.

[Discharge Man]

You're allowed to slow down just you can't come to a complete stop.
You're allowed to do both.

[Tristan]

You can hardly measure slowing down and coming to a complete stop.
Like, you can move one leg so slow.

[Geraint]

Oh yeah!
Geraint, good luck trying to get into Europe, providing you beat Pompey.

We'll get there.



You're allowed to do both.

Lots of players have been penalised for stopping and according to Mr. Mullery of Sky Sports News you are not allowed to stop.

[Excellent]

(8)Don't stop me now..:D(8) Great game, accept the loss, 6 points clear of chelsea, un-stoppable?

[Xeck]

We really didn't deserve to lose that game based on our performance but the seasons officially over for us now. I can't really blame anything except a sloppy handball by Gallas and a good free kick by Hargreaves. Can't say I'm really annoyed because I didn't think we would win, the only thing annoying me is Andy Gray saying we can't keep leads as if it's been a season-long problem when for over half the season we were top and winning games week after week.

[Geraint]

(8)Don't stop me now..:D(8) Great game, accept the loss, 6 points clear of chelsea, un-stoppable?


Chelsea have a game in hand.

[lPinoy]

It wasn't our best performance but we made it :D

Two horse-race now (Heard it from the sky sports people)

[Simmzay]

Thought we played well. Can't fault your team for losing against the best team in the league. Showed a lot of fight and guts, nothing lacking in that department. Of course changes need to be made, a new CB and LW would be fine.

Not liking the Utd fans who NEVER post about their team suddenly "pop up", though.

I've been posting all season. Oh and Fatface and Gork only joined this month. :)

[Kasabian]

I generally thought Arsenal played well, although Song shouldn't have played CB, I think Wenger should have played Toure in that role, but never mind.

Wenger also needs to learn that Eboue is awful.

[Simmzay]

I've been posting all season. Oh and Fatface and Gork only joined this month. :)
Haven't we had this discussion before? I clearly didn't mean you!

Why should they need to post about their team? :S

I don't think you "get" it. I'm only directing that at people who only post when their team wins, or in title-indicating matches. It isn't about new members either. Hopefully you can grasp that.

[Jordie]

defending is arsenals biggest problem
they cant hold a lead and they concede to many goals to have a chance of seeing out their title challenge.

time for wenger to put his hands into the transfer kitty and add to make the squad stronger before fans and players start getting on his back.

Lol.
That's just as well as I read that Wenger doesn't plan to going into the Transfer Market at all in the Summer. :P

[stupidben]

great game!

Should have been a draw

And that has what to do with the thread?

I think Arsenal were the better side on the day.

[Geraint]

After seeing numerous replays of both goals, Arsenal only have themselves to blame. They squandered chances, handballed for the penalty and should have had a player on the line for the free-kick. If the was someone on the line it wouldn't have went in.

[Jordie]

Lol.
That's just as well as I read that Wenger doesn't plan to going into the Transfer Market at all in the Summer. :P

hes going to have to because atm they arent good enough to win anything without some decent squad players like united have. united can turn to players like nani and anderson while arsenal can turn to song and senderos:rolleyes:

[UNITED-ROAD]

arsenals goals should never have counted anyway

adebayor is useless, can only score with his hand
