So why weren't United beaten in 07/08 when we played Barcelona?
If we had ordinary Darren Fletcher then the result woulda been way different. . . . .All United needed that day was an enforcer to disrupt the flow between Xavi and Iniesta. Owen Hargreaves come to mind but Fletcher woulda been a pest to them.

I think you will find out that barca dominated possesion both home and away. Failure to put away chances created cost them that match. Yes giggs was below par but so where both anderson and carick .

As soon as Giggsy became a liability defensively n offensively. . . .It became a mammoth task for Carrick and Anderson to contain 3 quality Barca midfielders. Once Barca took control of the midfield, United lost the initiative and the attackers were starved of quality deliveries.
One bad unit in a system is enough to corrupt the whole works. Fergie miscued starting Giggsy that day.

Fergie did not see it that way u know. At half time when he made his first substitution and decided to bring scholes on,he sacrificied anderson not giggs for scholes.

And did it change anything? Hell Nah. . . .
His love for his old guards cost him the game.

He tried the experiment of playing Giggsy in a 3-man midfield against Arsenal at OT last season.
The schitzo backfired as United failed to record a single shot on target even with Ronaldo on the pitch.
He shoulda tried someone else in the midfield. . . . .Gibson woulda done a good job containing the likes of Iniesta/Xavi but he opted for Giggs.

U have the handsight perspective on things,fergie was not afforded that luxury. Till dis day fergie does not believe your theory,he acknowledges his team were thoroughly outplayed.

it can only be UNITED

Bloody Mancs have cheated again.  

We're bloody red barons.we didn't win this game we definitely stole it from arsenal.( we just did not bribe the ref)
                                    Glory Glory Man United

united is d best

With some help from the ref and a slow thinkin Gunner y'all won but striking when the iron's hot is the name of the game and y'all did that so the spoils go to the victors impressive turn-around i'll admit although uber-lucky
And since ma caveat was fulfilled i'd also admit i was hasty in judging the Scummies

- 49 match unbeaten run ended by rudeboydivesteroy


rudeboydivestroy was at it again yesterday

- Notice that Almunia's hands did not even catch Rooney, instead it was rooney that fell on top of him intentionally . . . . . . . . Almunia's hands actually caught the ground and hit the ground infront of Rooney

- I think Rooney was already falling, before he even hit almunia . . . . (he has been taught well in synchronised diving, Eduardo still has a lot to learn )

Rooney u deceptive bastard! And to think they were booing eduardo.

I pray Mike Dean dies a very slow & painful death. . .

can i get an AMEN?

Man Utd is more have the refs in their pocket,

more evidence

Even the man-utd fans knew it was a penalty

@No2Atheism, stop spamming. One would think Arsenal has never got a wrong decision/call given in their favour in the past.

it must be shouted on the roof top that ManUtd got lucky, the took away the opportunity of rubbing ur face into the sweet victory.

At least now u cannot make fun with the victory since u know its tainted.

Am happy you feel deeply exactly how Celtic feels. Sore losers.

thank you , but we do not want crocodile tears thank you for robbing us

At least one thing u have done now is at least help us convince wenger we still need to buy more players.

No2Atheism:

We did not lose we were robbed

But u weren't robbed when Adebayor used his 2 hands to score a goal at OT some seasons ago.
I am sure Mike Dean also told Diaby to head the ball into his own goal.

Buncha losers.

Bunch of bad losers,

do they think we have forgotten Gallas tackle on Utaka , blatant penalty with red card interest
neither have we forgotten Eduardo the Nollywood star , thank God Mike Dean opened his eyes to see that of Ebou the comedian!!!!!!!!!!

I have watched the match 3ce now, arsenal played purposeless footie thruout the 90mts, they possession yes, but with how many shot at goal. Statiscally, we had 51% possession compared to theirs of 49%, Men are celbrating and baies are whinning,

WE RULE YOUR MIND AND YOUR WORLD

PROUDLY UNITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you on diet coke or something or which tackle on utaka are u talking about hope is not the same one where replays shows that utaka tripped himself.

Score line = United 2 - 1 Arsenal. Get over it already, Arses.
Y'all were plain unlucky. Shit happens. Time to start looking forward to the goal Ade will put in the gaynner net for old times' sake.
