Arsenal v Man United

[Lord E]

I'm about to go offline to bed, but before I do... tomorrow's live Sky Sports game, Arsenal v Man United :D

Predictions people? :D And by that I mean score predictions, not who will win on red cards and bookings :O That'll obviously be Arsenal, but Man United will win on the number of diving bastards :O

So, score predictions only, please :D

[thegloaming]

Hmmm.. 3 x 3, maybe.. kinda want to see lots of goals, like on Chelsea's victory yesterday..

[Eldandoerino]

Dont know man it could be a close game but i think arsenal will win it.

[KevBaz]

arsenal will win i rekon, although a draw would be good, i want chelsea to catch up with the arseholes

[Andy Villa]

i dont care.... it dont affect aston villa but il say 3-1 to the arse-en-hole

[Gazza54b]

3-2 Utd..I hope :thumb:

[Lord E]

I was feeling confident about an Arsenal win, but Edu is playing - i'm never that confident when he's on, because he's slow as **** :D It's like having 10 men when defending, because people can just walk past him :O So, i'll be happy enough with a draw :D

[Eldandoerino]

1-1 was a fair result considering we should have had a pen and Campbell should have been off. we gave arsenal a good game much better that i thought we would Wes Brown and Roy Carroll played well. overall it was a great game roll on next week i say.

[KevBaz]

dont forget the more blatent pen appeal the other end, either way it was boring, just liek watching liverpool play, so i turned over and watched the boat race....

[I-NemesiS01]

It was not boring foolio, one of the best games of the season so far, either team could have won in the end and i'm just pleased we played well and nearly made henry cry, you see him at the end? He was so pissed off he didn't score the winner.:D

[Lord E]

Only because he knows we deserved to win :D But anyway, me doesn't mind, said i'd be happy with a draw, plus being the better team today gives us the mental advantage for next week's FA Cup semi-final :thumb:

I nearly cried when I saw Cygan come on :O It was obvious from then that Man United would equalise. It would of been better to just take someone off and play with 10 men :D

[Andy Villa]

henry's miss was a beauty.. i nearly pissed myself laughin...... decent game, fair result....

[Gazza54b]

That had to be one of the fastest paced games i've ever seen, it's a credit to both sides fitness and apart from a total prat of a ref, who isn't fit to ref a schoolboy friendly match, it was a brilliant show of football. I think we showed Arsenal that we can still fight and feel more confident about next weekend now :thumb:

[Lord E]

1-1 was a fair result considering we should have had a pen and Campbell should have been off.

Wrong, actually :D 'The Premiership' last night correctly pointed out the only contact made was made just outside the area, so if anything it was a free-kick ;) Plus you couldn't complain even if it was in the area (which it wasn't), because it evened itself out when Reyes wasn't given a penalty after Caroll took him down.

And you can't argue that the ball was going away from goal or that he'd lost control of it, that makes no difference to the decision of whether or not it was a foul... just the decision on what punishment should be given out for it :thumb:

[I-NemesiS01]

Must admit, I didn't think that was a penalty even when I first saw it, as you say contact was obviously outside the area, what little contact there was. Overall Arsenal were the better team on the day, but we finished the stronger which will encourage us for the semi final, I also thought Saha made the difference when he came on, like Henry he is brilliant at running with and keeping the ball, Solskjaer also made an impact so I think we should start with those 2 + ruud in the semi's.:D

[Electro]

1-1 bah i thought arsenal would of owned man u but hey cant always have it that way can ya

[Eldandoerino]

We cant play Saha in the cup game because he is cup tied.

[Lord E]

Yar, tis true. But look on the bright side (from the United p.o.v)... Sol Campbell could well be out of the FA Cup semi - and we all know what thats means.......... Pascal Cygan :( Because Keown isn't fully fit right now either.

Campbell wasn't fit to play on Sunday because of a groin strain but was used anyway and apparantly its not any better now - there are even talks about him possibly missing Euro 2004 if it doesn't sort itself out soon - and with our next 4 games being against the teams placed 3rd (Man United), 2nd (Chelsea - CL), 4th (Liverpool) and 5th (Newcastle)... oh, and probably the simple task of beating Real Madrid 10 days or so later :D He's bound to be used over the next couple of weeks whether he's fully fit or not :O

[Gazza54b]

oh, and probably the simple task of beating Real Madrid 10 days or so later :D He's bound to be used over the next couple of weeks whether he's fully fit or not :O
Now i know you're having a laugh :lol:

[Lord E]

No... he really is bound to be used :D I'm serious :D

[I-NemesiS01]

SSN reckon Arsenal will rest super freddie and henry for the semi....yeeeeeeehhh right.:wtf:
