What do you expect from a not-so-smart person like Sharon? If RVP 'deserved' a red card, then Abidal should've been off before him.

still acting the tool that you are. rvp didn't get sent off. . . .he got a yellow. a player on yellow should have been more responsible. van persie knew he was offside. he was looking at the line assistant as he controlled the ball. you can tell van persie heard it by his reaction/body language to what was a shocking miss on goal in what he supposedly considered live play. he deserved the red card.

ritchboy:
I'm sure you are familiar with the term "unforced error".

you cannot talk about cesc gifting barcelona a goal when your only game in the match was an own goal from busquets. even after cesc lost the ball, barcelona still had so much work to do to get the ball into the net. messi's skill to chip the ball over the goalie and volley it home was exquisite.

A. The ball was already gone before Diaby made contact with Messi, that's not a pen IMO.

gone where? that was a stone-wall penalty. the referee missed it.

B. You are having a laugh. Who did RvP slap? Hope you aint talking about Alves. If that's a red card then Abidal should have been given three red cards for putting his hand around RvP's throat.

a player cannot have his hands on the face of another player. it's a red card offence.

C. I believe that was Koscielny. How does kicking the ball while your team ARE STILL CELEBRATING warrant a card? Teams are usually given 20 or so seconds to celebrate a goal, no?

it wasn't koscielny. it was van persie. kicking the ball after a goal has been scored is simply time-wasting. the referee must have seen that or told by his officials or barcelona players. he had that on his mind when van persie(who knew he was offside) still attempted to take a shot. van persie's lack of emotions after that shot told me he heard the whistle. if a player of his quality misses from that position, he will be holding his head in his hands disappointingly but he showed no expression at all(cos he knew the whistle had gone).

i can actually say the referee was biased against barcelona.

* he denied barcelona a penalty when messi was fouled in the first half.
* van persie should have been sent off when he slapped a barcelona player in the first half
* van persie should have received his second yellow when arsenal got the equalizer. he kicked the ball to row z immediately after the goal to waste time.

to be fair, the injuries might have been responsible for the odd team selection lately. you don't lose valencia, js park, vidic, rio, anderson and hargreaves without feeling the pinch but then fergie should have done better in anfield. giggs/scholes should not be starting any game for us away from home. at best, one of them should be coming on the pitch for the other.

ritchboy:
For all Barca's shots on goal they needed a gift from Cesc to score their first and a gift from the ref to score the other 2.

this is a bit pointless considering the fact arsenal's only goal was via busquets heading into his own net.

Emperoh:
You know, when these things happen, there is this strange feeling of thought that just hits me!
It's as if this whole football set up has been pre-arranged by a few persons and then they decide what you win and when you win what match. It's like saying, ok, Man U, it's your turn to win the EPL this season but you will lose to Liverfool and Chelsea away and then Chelsea, wait for next season but Arsenal will beat you etc.

I just couldn't understand such a decision with a coach with over 26 years experience!!
Its atrocious!!!

26 yrs or more than 35 yrs coaching experience. we should tear the contracts of giggs/scholes. those guys should leave so we know who's left in the team and then rebuild from there. they are united's biggest problems and until we get rid, there won't be any addition to that area of the pitch. we got anderson and nani because carlos queiroz was here and his intention was to replace scholes/giggs. four years later, scholes and giggs are still here with another 1-year contracts to boot! the mind boggles. . . . .

Emperoh:

I woulda felt that the decision to play Fletcher was common sense to any discerning United fan!
Or is just another way of pressing the self destruct key?
I just couldn't believe his tactics and selection on a day!!

i got so angry i called mutv to rain expletives on sir alex! what was he thinking? fletcher has been absent in all the times we have lost to liverpool in the past 6 seasons and we have won in all the games he has featured. it's no brainer - fergie's selection killed the team. we had 2 centre-backs who haven't formed any understanding with each other and we did not protect them at all.

debosky:
He tried to waste time by shooting one second after the whistle was blown?

The mind boggles.

we were told these decisions even themselves out. fletcher got sent off in a semi-final one cold night at the emirates. remind us who benefited from that decision by scoring via a penalty kick?

sirwebs:
^^ It was 1-1 when Persie was wrongly sent off.

wrongly sent off? van persie pushed a man in his face(1st yellow) then he tried to waste time by shooting when he knew he was offside. of course, he deserved to be sent off. then again, when busquets copped his own goal, van persie picked the ball and kicked it into row z. the referee must have seen that. van persie being a veteran should know better.

dayokanu:
The ref cheated Arsenal see stats  below
Match Stats

Barcelona                                           Arsenal                            


20(12)                  Shots (on Goal)        0(0)

this can't be correct. a team went 90 mins on the pitch without shooting on target and off target? arsene wenger should be sacked.

Mr_TA:
Huge game on Saturday. we need to arrest the 2 game losing streak immediately.

we are man utd. . . . . .we will do what we want and that thing is. . . . . .we don't win the easy way. there will always be hiccups n coughs along the road.

reminiscent of 2008/9. liverpool trounced us 4-1 at old trafford. . . . .we lost 0-3 at craven cottage and villa were running away with it until ronaldo and macheda stole the show. it's a temporary glitch. fergie killed any chance we had by leaving fletcher on the bench against liverpool and playing two old men in a 4-man midfield. he has learnt his lesson now and the game on saturday is going to be huge.

how much is your lister generator and are they noiseless?

And the Abacha connection continues. . .

george bush senior ruled after killing millions in iraq in 91. his son(george junior) continued where his father left off in 2004 and nigerians didn't complain. mohammed abacha is a nigerian and he's entitled to contest for the governor of his state. his father's issues should not be mixed with his own mandate.

The first day i met her,i was scared to tell her how much i loved and cherished her.Her life-style was somewhat imitating.Though i was on jeans trouser with fitted top and my papa's cap,i thought she would tagged me irresponsible because she loved coperate attires so i decided to leave the discussion for another day.on our next meeting i comported myself and told her my innocent feelings,the rest is just a story.Now this the main PROBLEM.we loved each other that we cannot plan or do in the absence of each other.people admire us including my pastor.My mum loved her with passion,her mum took me as her own son,though they did not know each other.Suitors are flowing like river niger,she rejects them just because of me,she feels like killing me with hand whenever i tell her to consider one and get married,the simple truth is that before i will be ready to get married she will be offage.now this the beginning of the end of my story.HOW DO WE BREAK UP THIS LOVELY RELATIONSHIP WITHOUT HURTING EACH OTHER?

get a bank loan and marry her next month.

Am getting tired of yabbing this arsenal side. I watched at a viewing center 4 d first time, ol boy the anguish and pain on the faces of d arsenal fans culda made t rex come back from extinction.

arsenal are big time bottlers. they have simply forgotten how to win league titles. i am happy they are the team breathing down united's neck and not chelsea or liverpool.

coded guy:
Arsenal is a joke. Always bottling it at crucial times,  right now even if we lose against the pools am confident that this arsenal side will capitulate again. It wud have been really exciting if arsenal had won. Now we 've had a break and absolutely have to beat liverpool to have some comfortable lead.

nasri said. . . . "Winning the Carling Cup could have helped us but now we have to show we are men, that we have the guts to give our answer in the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup."

"If we beat Sunderland, we move to within a point of United and then they play at Liverpool on Sunday without [Nemanja] Vidic and [Rio] Ferdinand and, this year, United are really strong at the back so something can happen there. They hate each other. And if we win our game at Tottenham, we can be on top. So that is why I say we feel we can win the title.

you would think that a club like arsenal would have learnt their lessons in the past to advise their players on when and when not to tape it shut!

welbeck should have scored to really rub salt into wenger's injury - but i am still fyne as it is.

debosky:
Safe to say the margin between a draw and three points was the idiotic referee.

I give up!! Players do their best but moronic officiating ruins things again.

like you and other gaynners said on tuesday, these things even themselves out over a season. get on with it!

@Cougar
Your obsession with this Messi's goal sucks
So what if it was a goal.Why didn't he score another?
Etoo's goal against Arsenal in 2006 was offside.
Do you see Arsenal fans moaning about it?
Is that the first 'maginally offside' goal you will ever see?

wait until next week. . . . .your dreams might come true.

HNIC:
I see.
Now, its David Dein's fault

david dein was a director in arsenal then and he also ran the fa at that time. is it coincidence arsenal stopped winning after david dein left arsenal fc?

Naah,The reason why he was banned, was because he failed to turn up for the drugs test.The question is WHY?You haven't answered that.If he ahd turned up and was found to be clean, we won't even be talking about it till this day.
Who knows?

he forgot! urologists were convinced they should have found at least 1% of controlled substances in his sample even after 2 weeks but they found none. he was banned because david dein told blatter about it and they decided to make rio an example. a blackman from peckham area - who cares? if it was beckham, you think he would be banned?

Arsenal may have ended up undefeated and still fail to win the league, because Rio would have scored plenty of goals for Manure and at the same time ensuring clean sheets at the back!

well, fact remains united were 5 points clear until then and the absence of rio lost united the title.

HNIC:
He was doing his duty protecting the goal
Dude, I saw frustration in his eyes. . and that was a reckless challenge
What haven't we heard since tuesday?
Luiz shoulda been sent off
Ref was biased
It wasn't a penalty
Grass wasn't green enough.
Chelskis jerseys were not blue enough
and they claim AW and Arsenal fans whinge??

we are still four points clear. . . .arsene wenger moans than any other manager on the planet. didn't he say winning the league is not important but finishing in the top four? he berated ipswich the other night. he has complained over everything. that's what happens to a club that needs viagra.

HNIC:
You just must show 'scummieness' all the time.
Telling me about the Rio episode like I wasn't born when it happened. . . rubbish
Point out where I said Rio failed a drugs test

if he takes drugs like you alluded, they woulda found drugs in his urine sample. rio didn't turn up on friday but turned up on monday(and the sample should still have been found if he had taken anything in the first place). reprobate david dein saw an opportunity to screw man utd and he made sure rio was banned for 8 mths. it's one of the reasons arsenal havent won the league since then. you guys are serving the punishment for your injustice.

Why the hell didn't he turn up for the test?

that is irrelevant cos drugs stay in the system for up to two weeks. you cannot fool science as kolo toure must have learnt this week.

Gerrout,Berba does igbo, don't ask me how I knew

yes o. the league's highest goal scorer can do igbo. your r@pist however is still battling to score 12 league goals in his entire career.

HNIC:
Tell us about Morrison,Johnny Evans,CR7,Nani and whoremongering
abeg go siddon somewhere. . . Your players are more of a disgrace

they are all unmarried. as a single bloke, the law permits you to sleep with as many women as possible. thierry henry was a married man when he slept with a waiter. ashley was a married man when he cheated too and errrrrr, van persie r@ped a woman from your village in amsterdam.

Mr_TA:
Im pretty sure Vidic was too busy celebrating his CL win to remember any beef with Didier.

hnic is a twunt so expect him to bring a non-issue to score cheap brownie points. nemanja was doing his duty of protecting his goal and a gaynner feels vidic lunged dangerously at drogba because of what happened in summer 2008. . . .how daft can gaynners be?

[size=14pt]Bomb blast kills three near Nigeria election rally[/size]
Published on 3 March 2011 - 4:22pm

A blast near the venue of a ruling party election rally killed three people and injured 21 in a town near Nigeria's capital city of Abuja, the national police spokesman said Thursday.

"Three people died on the spot, 21 persons injured. The bomb was thrown by the people in a moving vehicle," Olusola Amore told AFP.

He said the attackers had targeted the Peoples Democratic Party rally taking place at Suleja in Niger State which borders the capital Abuja.

The bomb missed its target but ripped through a roadside vegetable market.

when will nigerian politicians learn?

HNIC:
Naah. . . he obviously learnt it up north where u have druggies like Ferdinand and chain igbo smokers like Berbatov
.KT was a gentleman when he was down south.

rio didn't fail a drug's test(he was punished for failing to turn up for his test) - gaynners are too thick to understand and berbatov's cigarettes isn't a class-a drug.

there's a common denominator in the behaviour of arsenal players(current and ex players). van persie r@ped a nigerian model, ashley cole cheated with a hairdresser and shot a student. henry cheated on his wife, bendtner got drunk till the point of dropping his pants in public, jack wilshere got involed in a club brawl and arsene wenger himself was caught cheating with a babe young enough to be his grand-daughter. arsenal fc are a disgrace.

Check out Vida's dangerous lounge on Drogba. . .
Beef since he was slapped in Moscow still in his head and obviously some drugs in his system

vidic is drogba's father any time of the day. vidic plays, drogba disappears.

duduspace:
You miss the point, so I'm not discussing this any further, yu initially made it sound like everyone knew it was off. I only showed you that even from the same page yu pasted by yourself that they were not all saying what yu claimed, if you can't understand that, I rest my case.

everyone knew it was off. c-n-n reported the referee's decision. they did not say messi was offside.

And what exactly qualifies Ian Wright to run a club and what experience does he have in how a club should be financed? whether we won or not, the results were already scheduled to come out on that day, he is welcomed to rant if he's disappointed we lost, other legends from the club approach issues in a more measured and reasonable manner.

he's an arsenal legend and he knows the club is nose-diving with the long trophy drought.

Well, I wanted to believe that yu're smart enough to know that there are always ifs and buts in predictions, the assertion was never that manure is sure of ruin. The prediction was always classified with a 'if' predicated on how they managed the debt situation.

there's no ifs and buts here. only dolts like you would predict united's downfall because of an artificial debt. the club's turnover is about 300 million. they cop the highest attendance in europe and they have the most popular sporting brand in the world. how won't they manage their debt?

Arsenal also would not win if we continued to sell players important players but the fact is that in the past year Arsenal has not sold important players so I know its all part of the long term plan to change things around as the financial situation concerning the stadium move lessened.

who are the important players in arsenal? gooners are crying for the club to add quality to the defence and you are here braying like an ass- that arsenal are not selling important players. toure isn't important? adebayor? hleb? flamini? henry? what are those players? inferior?

I hope yu also realise that based on what yu just posted that the fact Manure won a Carling cup last season also does not in any way insure yu against going trophyless for as long as Citeh have?

man utd still won the community shield in august of 2010 beating chelsea so i don't know if your amnesia is acute or slight.

Mr_TA:
I have no problems with Carrick staying with us for the rest of his career. He's a good player and him staying wont make us not sign midfielders. We need a large and experienced squad regardless.

the funny bit is carrick is actually rated in spain than in england cos spanish players appreciate michael carrick's possession football rather than the huff puff midfielders we tend to appreciate in the league. we have been dire this season in that area because of fletcher and because paul scholes doesn't have the legs anymore to cover every blade of grass. carrick is now permanently the defensive midfielder. we cannot expect him to shield his back four and also expect him to supply those tasty passes of his in 2006-2009. he now plays deeper than he's ever played with us. fletcher is the culprit not carrick. . . . .when fletcher gets his form back, united will be okay.


ok then. . . . . .kolo toure just failed a drug test. let's see if the fa will give him 8 mths ban like they killed rio in 2004. i am sure he learnt this habit under wenger. i am confident eboue n djourou will also fail drug test with their engine eyes.

Imari:
You have a different interpretation of what my words mean.

I know the difference between doing something out of love and what is control.

I mean he want me to be subservient to him, not a mutual thing or even doing whatever your love needs or asks because you love them and that's what it is all about. Not saying this is the way I want you because I am the man. That I will never do no matter if I was an American or not, I don't know how Nigerian woman rock but I don't rock that way for NO ONE.

imari, have you gone to nigeria yet?

@ DK

Chamakh has scored more goals than Rooney - if Chamakh is born to fail, Rooney's generation is predestined for failure.

rooney was the player of the year last season scoring 34 goals. no arsenal striker has achieved that since henry left the shores of this country 4 yrs ago. rooney has nothing to prove again, same as torres but mor0n chamakh, he will be sent packing like eduardo by next year.

Go to the Gay thread and practice turn turn turner not here. . . .get that?

so you know there's a thread for gays like you? how would you know such if you ain't a gay yourself. . . . .hmmm, the mind boggles.

yet another one.

i am beginning to think no nigerian marriage is happy these days. it's always cheating, in-laws, poverty and child barrenness. what is going on in nigeria?

RuuDie:
Painful loss. . . . .Rooney got the goal but i personally feel he was clearly below par; very wasteful with the few glimpses at goal we had. I hope Gary didn't slap the taste outta his mouth after he threw away that glorious opportunity away - he was going berserk in the stands

rooney made hernandez so toothless. there was a break in the 2nd half with hernandez playing a back pass to rooney and the mexican turned expecting a through-ball with chelsea defending with a high line. with the right pass, i am sure hernandez would have fleeced john terry with his pace and woulda been one on one with cech(like chicharito's 2nd goal against wigan on saturday) but rooney cocked up the pass.

Ando shoulda been in the middle and Rafael at RB, Giggs and Nani on both flanks. . . .the Gaffer clearly got it wrong!

anderson is injured and i think rafael's height is the reason o'shea is preferred when we don't have rio or vidic in the team. i also think fergie didn't want to play 2 inexperienced defenders(smalling and rafael) against a very experienced chelsea attack.

But bottomline, we're still four points clear of the front runner in the chasing pack for now. We still have the edge, just have to keep & stay focused on the ultimate prize!

get rio fit on sunday and hope one of js park/valencia starts running by next week.

dayokanu:
Does anyone need to tell you that M0r0n Chamakh is born to fail?

Hernandez in his first season has outscored him in fewer games. Chamakh is just another Francis Jeffers in the making

chamakh, 7 league goals in 1550 mins.
hernandez, 9 league goals in 917 mins.
