With drogba, another trashing awaits you guys at the bridge

I disagree.
Chelsea will be facing a wounded Arsenal side that is determined to prove their mettle next week.
Arsenal will beat Chelsea at the Bridge.

Denilson and Clichy cost us the game yesterday, atrocious decision making. I was never one of those on Denilson's back but I might be on that bandwagon soon. He just doesn't seem to have the heart for such big games, decent player otherwise. On the 2nd goal Vermaelen did everything right, tracked Park all the way, Denilson intially tried to double team with Sagna on Nani but wasn't aware of Rooney sneaking in behind him. Clichy saw Rooney's run but stupidly chose to go join Denilson and Sagna rather than staying with Rooney  
Denilson and Clichy were culpable in all the goals we conceeded. FACT.

The whole Arsenal team cost Arsenal the game but the chief suspects were Denilson, Clichy, Arshavin and Nasri.
Nasri was useless throughout. I cannot remember him getting past Evra or delivering a cross ONCE during the game.
Arshavin gave Wes Brown a torrid time but Cesc, Song and Denilson were useless throughout.

Man Utd To Appeal Against Rio Ferdinand's Four-Match Ban.

Manchester United are to appeal against the four-match ban the Football Association has handed to Rio Ferdinand.

The defender was originally given a three-match ban by the FA after video footage showed him lashing out at Craig Fagan during United's 4-0 win over Hull earlier this month. The sanction was then extended after Manchester United made what the governing body described as a "frivolous appeal".

That makes United's latest appeal risky, particularly as Ferdinand will miss the Carling Cup final against Aston Villa on 28 February if the FA comes down hard on the Premier League champions again.

The 31-year-old centre-back missed United's 3-1 victory over Arsenal yesterday and will also sit out their match against Portsmouth on Saturday and the visit to Villa next Wednesday.

I'm not surprised. . . . . 
We're making sure we highlight the inconsistency within the FA.
This might hurt us short term, but it will help us long term.

Great game scumtwats. You guys took your chances (early on anyways) and denied Arsenal when Arsenal weren't denying themselves.
That said, it was still just ONE game. I maintain that if Arsenal can get 6-8 points from these evil 4 games then we have a chance - given our run in is the easiest of the lot.
While that seems nearly impossible considering we have to beat Chelski and Liverpool, it can still happen.

Last night's result makes next weekend's game a bit tastier.
Arsene cannot afford to LOSE 2 on a bounce to their closest rivals.
It won't happen. I am backing Wenger to BATTER Chelsea.

Oddly enough, I felt no grief in the loss yesterday - nothing like what I felt in the CL last year. I think we were beaten so fairly I had absolutely no grudge against the scumtwats.

That's the nature of the league this season.
If we had lost yesterday, i wouldn't have been pained cos dropping points is the norm.

TBH, Arsenal bossed the game in the first 10 minutes.  SAF drafting Scholes to man-mark Cesc was silly cos Cesc was just taking the piss on him but SAF changed it around after 15 mins by drafting Scholes further up leaving Carrick and Fletcher to track Cesc's movement.

United midfielders took control from there and Carrick was outstanding with his crisp intelligent passes.
Nani was at his best on the right and the rest was history. I wouldn't worry about the loss if i were you.

Fair play to Fergie for wishing us victory against Chelski. Just loan us VDS for the game and we'll deliver the goods. 

Almunia had no protection whatsoever.
Don't mind the media blaming him for what was not his fault.

The 1st goal was bound to be a goal. . . . .If Almunia didn't touch the ball, Park was already lying in wait to tap the ball into the net.
The 2nd goal was the fault of the midfielders and the defenders. Denilson stopped running.

Vermalen was lost. . . . .He didn't even know who to man mark between Park and Rooney.
For the 3rd goal, should we blame Almunia for that abi Clichy who was having his moments of madness.

chic2pimp:
You are a doofus,  . . . . It's 2 european cups not 3(european cups not trophies)

Fergie won a European cup in 1991 when Mark Hughes smashed Barcelona into pieces in Rotterdam.

chic2pimp:
I'll say around £40M

Bought for £7 million in 2006. . . . .he was worth £40 million in 2009.
That should tell you something.
SAF woulda saved £20 million if Smalling goes ahead to become a quality defender.

Wengay could afford him but he was not willing to pay that ridiculous amount of money. Why should he when TV5 cost £10M?

Has TV5 really added any value to the Arsenal defence?
Look at the number of goals they have conceded this season.

SKY told us today they have conceded 12 goals from set-piece(excluding penalties) this season.
In ma own opinion, his combo with Gallas has not added ZILCH to the Arsenal defence.

Ronaldo was a midfielder and midfielders generally tend to cost more. If Ronaldo was English, he woulda cost you lot £20M at the very least. English players are just to expensive.

Ronaldo was the most expensive teenager when SAF bought him.
Reasons why Wenger couldn't pay for his services in 2003. . . . .even then he still got sold at £80 million after playing shyte in his first 2 seasons.
Defenders don't peak until their late 20s. Smalling has about 8-9 years ahead of him so he's got a FAT chance.

The point I was trying to make was that Juve paid the amount of money not because they were hoping for a higher resale value but because they knew the value he would add to the Juve team. Same with Terry

Juve paid £32 million cos they know Buffon will serve them for the best part of 10 years.
Terry cannot play active football for the next 4 years thus no manager will pay that ridiculous amount for an injury-prone, end-of-days defender.

dayokanu:
And also lose to Chelsea at home without as much as a wimp

Bayern lost 2-5 to Werder Bremen at Allianz Arena last season.
They also lost 1-2 to FC Cologne at home last season.
Are Bayern Munich rubbish?

chic2pimp:
I think not. I'll rather say united play the more 'EFFICIENT' footy.

You musta watched the game on a Black-n-White TV.

dayokanu:
Chelsea whooped this same GAYYner side 3-0 at the Emirates, Man Utd whooped them 3-1 at Emirates twice in the last 10 months.
Tell the truth The team Arsenal is hopeless

They are not hopeless.
Any team can lose to Man Utd. . . . . .Were Bayern rubbish when they lost 2-5 at home to Werder Bremen last season?

chic2pimp:
2 european cups in 24 years .
As I said earlier, only in England.

You are a goat. . . . .Fergie's Man Utd did not compete in Europe between 1986 and 1990.
It's 3 European cups in 18 years.

chic2pimp:
Correct me if I am wrong but didn't those Arabs down the road bid £40m earlier on in the season.

Media generated fees.
Besides, that value also depended on the contract he had with Chelsea FC as at that time.

Man Citeh were willing to.
Don't be daft. . . . .  Vidic was never worth £50m.

How much was Vida worth last season after he led the defence that kept 14 clean sheets in the league?

Also Wengay did the smart thing and backed off cuz anyone in his/her right mind knows Smalling(un proven) ain't worth that amount of cash
It's not about football economics.

Wenger couldn't afford Smalling.
Arsene knows the player has got the potential and only time will tell.
You were one of the twits that marvelled when Fergie paid £12 million for a certain teenager in 2003 cos you thunk the teen would never be as good as Beckham.

Certain clubs could care less about resale value. Do you think the Juve board was looking @ the resale value when they bought the legendary Buffon for £32m? I think not.

Juve paid £32 million for Buffon at 23 years of age.
Gigi has put in 9 years of work-shift in Juventus and i can say he was well worth the amount paid back in 2001.
Terry is almost 30, how many years does he have left to play at professional level? 9 YEARS??

Mr_TA:
Not just an efficient side but more importantly by a better side.

Arsenal were taught proper football lessons.
Carrick and Fletcher mauled their midfield. Park-Rooney-Nani were at their best with the best counter-attacking display you will see this season.
Johnny Evans was majestic in the defence. The passes were crisp especially with Carrick just picking his team-mates from 20-30 yards with ease while Cesc and Song need 5 touches to make the ball travel 10 yards forward.

United play more beautiful football than Arsenal. . . . . .FACTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eastbay:
chic,
There's no way JT is worth 40 million.He'd even struggle to be half that amount,given that he's almost 30.Believe me,in these days of global economic recession,resale value is VERY important.

Chic2chimp does not understand football economics.
He prolly thinks VDS is worth £60 million.

@ Duduspace,

Arsenal weren't poor. . . . . .They were made to look poor by an efficient United side.

tkb417:
I'll blame Rooney and Nani for not making the scoreline 7-1
If I hear up gaynners again, u people will be in trouble
Lol

Wenger must be absolutely pissed.
United came to the emirates and said 'OK lets cut the fuckery, no gamesmanship and no fouling'. . . .
You attack and we will attack and lets see who is better at this sexy football. . . . .

chic2pimp:
DUH!!!!! They are teams aplenty that will happily fork out that amount of money for J.T(Barca, Real,Man citeh). Certain teams don't really care about resale value. All they care about is the value players would add to their currrent team/squad

No plonker will pay £40 million for John Terry.
He is not worth that amount even if he's 22.

This is not about being a fortune teller.
Smalling has no chance of reaching that level(absolutely no chance).
Vidic was already showing signs he'll be a great defender hence the reason Man united, Fiorentina and Inter went in for him. Vidic also did not cost £14M.

Stop being a Arrow. . . . . .Vidic cost £7 million and 2 seasons later, he was worth £50 million.
Smalling will be under the stewardship of the best man-manager in the world and at 20, the sky is his limit.
When you see SAF/Wenger tussling over a young talent. . . . . .your sixth sense must tell you the lad must have something special.

Mr_TA:
Im very pleased for Nani. The talent was always there but he just lacked confidence. Hope he kicks on from there. He has been very good for the past 3 games.

I will say he's been explosive since Fergie started playing him on the RIGHT(against Burnley).
It's a disgrace that it took SAF several years to realise Nani functions better on the right flank.
Portugal didn't miss Ronaldo in the WCQ(after Ronaldo's injury) and that was because Nani was outstanding in those play-offs.
Carlos Queiroz plays Nani on the right wing.

dayokanu:
Sharrap there. Because you ra.ped those imbeciles called Arsenal you are now screaming

Arsenal reserves will beat Bayern Munich home/away.

follypimpi:
Fans will call for AW's head if we fail to win anything this season.

I don't think so.
The brand of football you play will beat 75% of the teams in the EPL by default.
As long as Wenger takes Arsenal to the Europe every season. . . .his job is safe.

Eastbay:
That's 2 for two for you:Speak on,bruh!
BTW,what's up with HARGREAVES?

Hargreaves won't be playing for a while.
Someone in Manchester told me he won't play until April.

~Sauron~:
Just play Nani on the right to torment Clichy.
Ashley Young disgraced Clichy yesterday it wasn't funny.

Prophetic!!!!

chamotex:
He wants Arsenal to [b]BATTER [/b]them

P.S - Where is Debosky?

Debosky can be excused.
He said he wouldn't be by his laptop until tuesday.

chic2pimp:
I highly doubt that.
J.T is currently valued @ £40M

Get some perspective, JT is 29.
Who is going to pay that amount for a player with no resale value?

and I definitely don't see him reaching that level(Even Man citeh won't pay that).
And Let's be honest, he ain't no Nesta or Ferdinand talent wise.

You must be a fortune teller to know a 20-yr-old defender won't reach Nesta/Rio level.
Smalling has about 6-8 years to achieve that and i will say he's got a good chance.
If you don't believe me. . . . .Look at Vidic.

nateevs:
How can he do something different when he didn't see it.

U heard what Fergie said about Chelsea V Arsenal game coming next week?

chic2pimp:
Dayummmmm English Players are just too damn expensive.
Chris Smalling will cost Man United £14M when all is said and done.

He will cost £40 million in 2-3 years time.

kay_pumpin:
PS:I think we should be mindful of what we say about players here as no one can tell me Nani was not reactong to some of the things my fellow gooners posted about him in the last few days  

Nani has been magnificent in his last 4 appearances.
I have never doubted his skills and if he sorts his football brain, he is a bundle of skills.
Letz face it, the first goal was something only Ronaldo coulda conjured. . . . . .

https://i49.tinypic.com/11kf8eb.gif

HNIC:
Clichy and nasri should have their wages deducted
How did they allow Nani do that?

It's a brilliant piece of skill.
Chei. . . . . .Nani mauled Denilson.
https://i49.tinypic.com/11kf8eb.gif

HNIC:
@Sauron,
Stop right there also
How dare you say we had everyone available
Robin Van Persie,Eduardo,Diaby,should I go on?
Diaby would have been a million times better than Dennilson, who gifted you the third goal
and really, as bad as Eduardo has been, he would have passed those balls that Arshavin wanted to score PS3 style.
Robin Van Persie

Note:I am making no excuses,but we didnt have full options also

We have had Vidic/Rio together only FOUR times in the league this season.
Chelsea and Arsenal have conceded 12 goals from set-piece(excluding penalties)
Liverpool have conceded 11 goals from set-piece and United have conceded just 4 goals with a make-shift defence.

Like i keep telling you, the difference between United/Arsenal is the strength in depth.

@ HNIC,

Stop right there. . . . .

U had everyone available for this game.
Song started, Clichy started, Nasri started and even Vermaelen got a start. . . . .

United missed Rio/Vidic and i feared Gallas n Verminator would sodomise Brown n Evans.
Arsenal had no excuse, letz be honest.

United outfoxed y'all. No dirty tactics, no anti-football, no long balls.
The passes were crisp. Carrick was imperious in the midfield and Fletcher bitch-slapped Song/Denilson.

Fabregas looked LOST and your best player today by a distance was Eboue.

HNIC:
Blame Arshavin who had two early chances in the first half and messed up
He's been watching Maradona's videos in Russian

This is true. . . .Arshavin was a disgrace tonight.
He had glaring chances to make a smart pass and all he kept doing was taking a pop at United goal.
U can't blame him though. The Russian couldn't tell the difference between Ben Foster and Van Der Sar.

HNIC:
I will remind you next week

I am backing Arsenal to beat Chelsea.

nateevs:
Richard Keys and co. just relived that moment.
9.2 seconds between the time Ronnie laid off the pass and the time the ball hit the back of the net.
9.2 seconds between the time Rooney laid off the pass and the time the ball hit the back of the net.

Rooney is Class!

Nice to know we are watching the same channel.

I hope Arsene doesn't blame us for anti-football or long ball tactics tonight.
We outplayed Arsenal and if Rooney's finishing was at par with Drogba, he shoulda bagged hatrick tonight.
He must work on his application.

P.S. Did Fabregas play in this match?

Sorry to disappoint Arsenal fans, Wenger just said he is not buying anyone in this transfer window.

presido1:
we will score such goal again to make it a hatrick. AW was crying and fluid was dripping from his nose. I pity the gayman sha.

SKYSPORTS just compared Rooney's speed for his goal in this game to Ronaldo's Champions league goal in the counter attack.
They both recorded 9.2 secs.

Rooney's goal reminds me of this. . . .

https://i42.tinypic.com/nci7vm.gif

@ Eastbay,

NANI destroyed Arsenal.
U need to see his goal. He made Clichy and Nasri look like gorillas.
Nani on the right is our best bet. I believe in this guy and SKYSPORTS have just named him the MOTM with a Champagne.

He absolutely destroyed Arsenal.
