regarding the rooney incident, your back leg starts to trail when you are overstretching to get the ball and thats exactly what happened here. almunia brought him down and it would have been a nail on penalty anywhere on the planet. regarding the fletcher incident, it would have been a foul and a yellow had it been outside the box but not inside considering that he got a bit of the ball too

If such video is to be reviewed by FA then they should also see the video where Ed leg was broken in the field . . Then may be they can measure it properly . .

 

[Krow]

Fact 1 : We lost.
Fact 2 : They won.
Fact 3 : The league table doesn't reflect or care how.

CON : We still lack an experienced DM to command the midfield.
PRO : Our defence was pretty solid, but for Almunia's mistake.

Felt Bad for Arsenal.

Bloody Mancs. How the hell do they have ALL the LUCK in the world.

those of who think arsha's was a pen, read this article

*www.premierleague.com/page/MatchReports/0,,12306~47357,00.html

clearly states this "Then Darren Fletcher slid into Arshavin and despite winning the ball, Arsenal claimed for a penalty.

Referee Mike Dean was standing near enough to make the perfect decision and waved the shout away."

now u'll say this is a biased report.

Sorry, if you would have seen the replay, the tackle was NOT on the ball. He somehow got the ball and also the ball touched Fletcher's hands which means it was also a handball.

 

[Rahim]

How can one just over-look an obvious penalty just because it would harm his team?

 

[ratedrsuperstar]

^definitely :-0

dude this is ultimate
CELTIC suffered the ultimate shame yesterday – they had a player sent off for diving

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Whats funny is that they are blaming Eduardo AGAIN,saying because of his incident,the refs have become strict on diving.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Being sent off for the heinous crime of kicking an empty water bottle wasn't even the final insult. No, the final metaphorical kick was Wenger's pointless expulsion to the stands from which, typically, he had been subjected to the ultimate accusation against any man's character on several audible occasions during the previous 95 minutes. Officialdom will always be officious; it's what they are supposed to be. But there are no excuses to be made for Manchester United's failure to take action against those supporters who persist in taking 'terrace banter' far, far beyond what can be deemed acceptable.

United supporters were a joke."Sit down you pedophile" was ringing around OT throughout the game.Then there was the biggest act of hypocrisy of booing Eduardo.

 

[XTerminator]

wenger paedophile = epic lol..considering his knack of signing 14yr old "colored" kids

 

[Rahim]

Now Wenger brands United's style of play as Anti-Football!!!!!! Time to take "maoun vratt" Wenger.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

^^We got fouled each time we tried to break,just because referee somehow ignored Fletcher,don't think it never happened.

all i'd like to say is this. If u heard Andy Gray yest during the match on ESPN,"If ur a gk in tht stuation,and dont get the ball cleanly,its a penalty." n no pundit opposed.

i was wondering as to how no arse came up with this babycry about rooney diving.

those of who think arsha's was a pen, read this article

now u'll say this is a biased report.

also wenger lol and his problems with the authority

*www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opinion/b...is-problems-with-authority-article137687.html

and these articles aint written by a n00b indian fan,these are international articles for god's sakes.

So Arshavin one was not a penalty and Rooney pen was crystal clear?
You think Wenger's statement about the referee was wrong?
So whatever Andy Gray says or the crap the mirror writes are gospel truths to you?
Really pathetic mate.

Yes with his hand

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Based on the performance,I would go out on a limb and say that Arsenal will challenge CFC for the title this year.

 

[Rahim]

^So why term it Anti-Football? Tackles and fouls are part of the game. So teams like Germany, Holland, etc should never be allowed to play If referees have a soft corner for a team, then he can write it to FA itself.
I am afraid but Wenger should take a break from his Philosopher seat. Platini will understand him clearly as both are French, so why no take the case to him?

Just tell me how a seasoned manager like him goofed up when he was sent to the stands? (I know it was in-justice). He made a mockery out of himself.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

^^Lol,FA and UEFA will fine Wenger at any given opportunity.Rather not talk to them.
The noob 4th referee made a mockery of himself,and the referee's association will offer an apology to le boss for that.
Any manager in the world would react the same way after whatever happened in and before the game.(except Avram Grant maybe lol)
The anti-football thing looked to have been originated from the Eduardo bs.If the media create so much furor over diving,why not over this too.Basically excessive fouls are committed to stop the other team from playing their game.Just because it has become a part of the game doesn't mean it is right

congratulations to indian football team for wining the nehru cup

Really pathetic mate.

im not saying they r gospel truths....but they r footie pundits..and whatever they say is under scrutiny (as it is now) so there must be logic to whatever they say..so u cant completely ignore tht,just coz ur fave team is on the recieving end..

gray said tht arsha's was a clear pen..but also said rooney's was too.

regarding the physical approach of utd towards the game,it wud be worth noting tht arsenal are team whose overall physique is weak,so utd will obviously take adv of tht. and it was clearly visible,ars players goin don every other minute.
