FBS:
It wasn't exactly directly at you . . .HNIC or (was it taccoy) who categorically stated that he went for the ball. That tackle had some very malicious intent.

Kolo was not booed. . .exactly! Ade got booed before he left and even before the match. . .and he reacted in the best way he could. PRICELESS if you ask me. The best way you lots could have reacted was to keep your cool and ignore him. period. Show your class if you have(had) any.

Coming from someone whose "team"(not even fans) fought karate in full glare,the enboldened is cringing.

Some peeps here just yarn as if they are cranialpagusly conjoined with a mule and such utter tosh are better ignored than graced with a response.

I could rememer JM and Rooney were reprimanded for these acts of celerating in front of opposing fans,so what makes Ade's own different?

Starting from his antic of staying in Arsenal half whilst his mates(man city players) were in their half few secs before the match was kicked off,to his harsh tackle on Cesc,to shouting at Clichy when he fell rather awkwardly on his back,to stamping RVP on his face,to kicking Song. . .it was clear he had his own agenda on Saturday and. . . how he made Arsenal players fell for it is another issue entirely.It was obvious he got the whole team distracted(especially Song which culminated in his loss of concentration and eventual removal).Kudos to him for his psychological skirmishes,though acrimonious,all is fair in war,.Enough said on the dude,he's good player on his day with attitudinal flaws,but then he's human.I think his record speaks for him.

Back to the game. . .

It's obvious these lads still have a lot to learn in the area of losing matches they had no reason losing.First at oldtrafford,then against City.
It's so obvious except to Wenger only,that RVP is not a pointman,and will never be,Bentner is a central player and Clichy needs a lot of sorting out to do.

Just as the match against Everton did not indicate we were the best team in the EPL,this loss is not a pointer to an all time low.The last time we lost to City,it kickstarted a decent run,so let's hope and pray this WILL mark a fresh beginning,starting from tommorow.

Gooners para siempre.

This must be the worst i have been after a match. . . .
Now it is obvious Arsene's folly is not even in not buying a DM of fuckever,but a decent GK.
Why do i feel Almunia will be our weakest link this season

Over-all a good display by the lads until Ade's mind game took it's toll on most of them.

I am finding it so difficult to link Mode to MI through this song.Or is something wrong with me

Osondu teenager?

I still remember the 1987 final with Lemmy Isah in goal Dimeji Lawal was called Dimeji Mohammed.

The wing play of Dimeji Lawal and Tony Emodofu can spill defences like hot knife on butter. Bawa Abdulahi, captain I didnt know Segun Fetuga was in the 1987 squad. I also used to think Baba Jibrin a substitute in the finals was a son to Jubril Aminu mister of Education

The 1987 finals was the last time I cried because of a football game because I felt we were robbed.

I remeber Lemmy Isahs goal kicks were not going beyond the center line, Our defenders actually cleared a Russian (CCCP) ball off the line, A Nigerian player dribbled his way into the Russian 18yard box when the ref blew offside,
The match went to penalties and we lost. I cried so tay

It was Dimeji Lawal o,even Pele couldn't hide his disgust.It was day light robbery.Lemmy Isa the smiling GK. . . the 87 and 93 team had to be the best "under 17"

The Scotland 89 team that lost to Saudi Arabia(i think) had a certain Keshiro Kayode that uses his head very well. . .

Is Sebastin Imasuen still alive?

OMG! Viera. . . now Gattuso. . . can Wright just shut his gob

Wow!

Tkb(thank God i didn't call you up make we see match together,na dat day we for fight ) and East,no work this morning?

Why una no go win when you played against us with 14 players i.e your normal buncha obertans inclusive of Almunia,Diabolical and Micheal Dean 

Big problem?

Yeah! for a small non-deciphering brain

. . . . and along comes the Beijing conference.

debosky:
Arsenal fans are a neurotic bunch - the first sign of trouble and wailing starts.

Can Muki replace the "yes we can" with this?

16 goals(someone even mentioned we miss Ade) in 5 matches,a "loss" in the 3rd game of EPL against Man U and already the negative vibe is rifer than bikinis in summer

Lord help us!

Has Eduardo scored against any top team in the PREM?[/quote]Suddenly scoring against a top team in the PREM becomes a yardstick for measuring great players. . . oh mine,sometimes i just feel like quitting NL.

I am so liking this new Wenger. . . .

On the frustration of not getting any points from the match…

"Football is unpredictable. I believe in this team we lack some calmness, maturity and experience when we were in moments where we were not under panic at all. We assessed wrongly two situations. The first one, Rooney was no danger to score, there was no need to panic. And on the second one as well. There was not one player of Man United around our players. So it’s lack of communication and still little bit I feel in these situations that we might be lacking a little bit of experience."

I can't remember in any post match interview taking a dig at his own team and i think it's a step in the right direction.I hope he buys the experience he feels we need before the transfer window closes._{wishful thinking}

@edoyad

kalashnikov pumpin? Anyway,you are welcome back.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=303740.msg4448550#msg4448550 date=1251578026]An unnecessary own goal by Abou Diaby gave them all three points and doubtless contributed to Wenger's touchline apoplexy, though to be strictly correct that was more likely to have been a disallowed equaliser from Robin Van Persie in the last minute of stoppage-time. Replays suggested the referee's assistant was correct in ruling William Gallas OFFSIDE and active in the build-up, though Wenger was plainly unconvinced. As United-Arsenal encounters go, this had been a slow-burner, though Wenger's martyred expression as he was made to vacate the dugout with no more than four or five seconds remaining kept up the fixture's reputation for drama. It also confirmed Mike Dean's reputation as the fussiest and most pedantic of referees.

Dr Kitaun:
This is why I feel like tearing some peeps here to pieces. . .who told you that the Spanish league doesnt have his own flaws ?

later they will say KITAUN IS NOT A GUNNER BY HEART

na wao . . .

I wonder why we all cant see the positives in this and move ahead, .I would rather lose to Manure and wake up than win Manure and lose to all those shyte clubs and struggle with Everton and Sunderland for 6th place

Some posts shouldn't be dignified with a response.I understand everyone's hurt but it wasn't as if the team was played off the park today.
Next stop is Ade's team and i am wondering who you will be supporting on the day?

davidylan:
what i learnt from this game - Arsenal need a better goalkeeper with a solid command of his 18-yard box to finally shine. Almunia is just not the same standard as the other top 4 keepers, even Shay Given of Man city is far better, i wonder why Wenger didnt go for him when Newcastle were imploding last season

Knee jerk reaction. . . the same dude that kept us in most games last season?At OT during the UCL,the 2nd leg would have been a mere formality but for Al.
You as an on-looker can take time with decision,the GK had a split second to make the decision;it's either he goes for the ball or stay glued to his post.He went for the former and couldn't pull back. . . the lads were great having in mind there was no Fab,the midfield generallisimo.

Next game Man City. . . i hope the lads bounce back immediately.

mattfeuter:
den dey craze dem want die, its UNITED all d way jor!!!!!

You actually got a new handle to act your lunacy out?

eldee:
Diaby . . . fall anytime you sense contact
Stop being a flipping hero

Poor lad,he's trying too hard now

Disgraceful scummies. . . . booing Eduardo

We need Eduardo on and Eboue off.

allboyz:
spuds has been forced to a draw now

Lennon just scored.

dayokanu:
Complete stupidity and paranoia. UEFA dislikes English sides yet they all get easy group draws every year.

If any of them had a difficult group then we would have heard how its a conspiracy.

Steven Gerrard gets a last minute penalty against Atletico at Anfield becos Atletico was from England.

Arsenal got a dubious penalty last seasons CL semi finals I didnt hear about UEFA dislike.

Chelsea for all their fan trouble towards referee were not ordered to play behind closed doors like Roma in 2004/2005 Yet UEFA hates English clubs.

STUPID PEOPLE unfortunate REASONING

How much of power and influence does anyone have on a DRAW Dayo?

Why not move Diaby centrally and Eduardo or Bendtner on the left?
It should be an interesting match all the same,i smell a DRAW.

nateevs:
That's not to say they don't have grit. . .

I don't see the grit which Hull possessed before the wheel fell of last season.Burnley plays M'oro before their relegation.
I like when team plays openly though unlike Allardyce's Bolton,but how do they cope when the chips are down with their fancy footall?
That there is the million dollar question

nateevs:
To be fair to Burnley. .
They have a wonderful set of footballers. .
Good first touch. . vision and the play the ball on the ground. .
And they have bird-man as their goalie.

I don't think they will go down.

That MAY actually be their undoing.You need grit to survive the prem if you are not one of the "regulars".

Scolari is a mule. . . .
Thought he made us believe Drogba-Anelka partnership can't work.Has to e the deadliest striek force in the prem now.

Cristalz:
Why did Essien and Drogba hug? It wasn't a goal.

Batty bwois  

vikiviko:
Ashley goalllllll

The goal was 5 mins ago  

tubabie:
Well yes . . . . . .   ;DIndeed! I suggest you worry more about your probable loss this evening.

It will be a cold day in hell. . .

nateevs:
Bros . .
Carllotti has won only the community shield. .
Mourinho won two titles. . .

Coming from someone who feels the shield shouldn't e considered as a title when the scummies won it. . . . PRICELESS

tubabie:
hehehehe dont worry, the video will be reviewed after the match.

Infact the whole team should be anned for aiding and abetting  

Cristalz:
@kay
Na so dem dey ban?

I need Drogba to gimme my goal so Burnley can go ahead and get their draw.

This fantasy league thing just dey turn enemies to friends.Its incredulous . . .

jalether:
You should be more worried abt the ass whooping yall gayners gonna get 2nite

Worried about the possiility of losing the 3rd game in a league?
I think the mis-leading formation(diamond/xmas tree/broom formation/any-where-bele-face) is getting the most of you.

Sam Milla:
offside goal

drogba was def off

Drogba just conned the referee and should be banned for 2 games  

Andy Gray says it all on this raging issue. . . .

In the modern game it is so difficult to decide if it is a dive - footballers travel at such a pace it only takes the slightest nudge to put them off balance. It is a really strange one for me.

It has also opened a massive can of worms. It encourages people to complain about and contest every decision. For instance, when a guy claims for a corner when he knows it isn't a corner - that's trying to deceive the referee, isn't it?

All the Bristol City players who said Freddie Sears' 'goal' for Crystal Palace didn't go in were deceiving the referee - do we go back and charge all of them?

Arsene Wenger thought Ryan Babel went over softly in the Champions League two seasons ago to win a penalty late on - do we go that far back? Should Babel be retrospectively charged?

I saw Howard Webb book a young Fiorentina player in midweek for trying to win a penalty. I actually thought it was a penalty but he was shown a yellow card for simulation - so Eduardo does the same and could get a two game ban? Was the Fiorentina player not deceiving Howard Webb by diving?

All I can say is let's hope if we see a Barcelona, Real Madrid or Milan player do a similar thing this season UEFA are as quick to react as they were with Eduardo. It's not for me to say but their dislike of the English sides' dominance is well documented.

Most major question he raised here have been burning on my mind all along.
