PHB

Ugh, shouldn't have been a first goal nice stuff from Walcott, lovely second goal.
Arsenal should score a couple more

Come on Zarate Magical wonder goal is needed here

PHB

Alfonso Alves could have quite a nice day today if he's playing consdiering Liverpools defensive crisis.

Penalty kick for Birmingham

PHB

Yes Penalty, oh my god please score

machiavellianme

Level in the 4th minute of injury time. McFadden

bennyx_o

Birmingham penalty.

McFadden scores!

YES!

machiavellianme

Arsenal ripped off and will be without one of their best strikers for the rest of the season

PHB

Yes, dropped points, **** yeh!

Paul Tergat

****in come on!!!!

now Utd must must capitalise on this, could be a big weekend.

Mikeyt086

YES JAMES! YES!

What the hell is Gallas' deal? He such a drama queen. Walks down the tunnel, now sittting on his own in tears... Still 3 points clear Willy. And hes the captain, really inspiring belief.

Get a grip Gallas.

Nunu

Some captain Gallas is...that was shocking from a senior pro!

COME ON UTD!!

Bounty Hunter

Gallas is feckin incensed

bennyx_o

Hopefully United will take advantage of this..

Gallas actin like a baby. Delighted. Extra delighted cos its him.


Gutted about Eduardo I have to say.

PHB

I like Gallas, he clearly cares an extreme amount. Good for him. I can't believe Clichy did that, couldn't have asked for more

Fuzzy_Dunlop

****in hell what was Clichy at?! ffs no way in hell should they have let that lead go, and Adebayor once again missed a pass for an easy tap in for Bendtner:mad:

Fixed;)

Unearthly

Yas!

Now watch us lose 5-0 to Newcastle

Albert!

PHB

Fully deserved I think for Brum. Played with 10 men. Were very unlucky to concede that first goal, and in reality, deserved that bit of luck at the end.

pd101

Gallas looked like he was trying to hold himself back.

That'll be a big incentive for United later.

I strongly dislike Gallas and there have been various incidents this season which have reinforced that for me. This is one of them. Yes he cares but carry yourself like a professional.

Pepe LeFrits

Gallas has every reason to be pissed off; his teammates completely ****ing bottled it today.

Should have been a hockey score; points dropped instead.

vorbis

fully deserved, what complete bull****! They were dominated for the second half and Arsenal should have finished some chances. To top it off, that wasn't a fu*king penalty. Clichy clearly got the ball first.

Necronomicon

What exactly happened? Was he complaining about the decision or giving out about Clichy conceding? I only had half an eye on it, looked like a bit of an incident in the dug-out?

Keano

For a neutral that was a great result as if United win and both teams keep winning then the showdown in April will be some game (hopefully)

keano_afc

As usual all our overplaying and trying to walk it into the net have come back to haunt us. Should have been out of sight by the time Clichy fell asleep.

Bull ****!!

That was awful professionalism...if he did that under Ferguson he'd be stripped of the captaincy. I was looking at Gilberto on the edge of the box looking back at Gallas most likely thinking 'look at this clown who has replaced me as captain'.

Plus he showed a total lack of trust in his keeper....just an awful showing from him in every way.

Dave!

Great result. Just gotta hope we take advantage of this. No gambles today Fergie! Rooney plays! Ron plays! Tevez plays!

Gallas is nuts

herbieflowers

crikey, you'd swear his mother died or something...

Necronomicon

Liverpool 0-1 Boro

LOL, Le Tissier is watching, he's a curse on 'Pool!

leninbenjamin

lol, what the hell happened the liverpool defence there? that had to be the worst defending of a set piece i've ever seen from a team in the premier league. 3 boro players unmarked advancing on Reina!

mike65

Tried to play offside but one of the boys hadn't read the script. Terrible play - why does Kuyt look knackered from the start?

Mike.

Dave!

crazy defending from pool, dunno what the f*ck they were doing

jank

Was never a penalty anyway! Clichy feel asleep and made a rash challenge but got the ball. Bit of a soft decision for the free i thought.
It should have been well put to bed before the 70th mintue but lack of ruthlessness cost arsenal again.

The injury to eduardo seems to have knocked the wind out of them. Terrible injury. He might never play again. Having to see a team mate go off like that must have affected them but they bottled the result.

Come on newcastle any result there will do me!

PHB

It was never a penalty maybe, just like it was never a goal for Walcott after Abedayour fouled the keeper. I think it was a fair result to be honest. McFadden had an easy chance just as Abedayour did to make it 2-0 late in the first half too.

I think the injury really effected Arsenal, not just in terms of it being horrible offputting [p.s. are you just saying he might never play again, or has somebody suggested that?], but in that Bentnar is not of that quality imo.

leninbenjamin

2 - 1 to torres.

PHB

Shocking from Boro.
Still Liverpool doing what they always do, can't get it together against small teams, largely because they don't have a system that gets anywhere near the best out of their players.

Magical from Torres though, some player.

Xavi6

Fulham v West Ham is a shocker in case anyone cares. Two teams playing the exact same tactics and cancelling each other out.

jank

just like it was never a goal for Walcott after Abedayour fouled the keeper

Ah come on. 50-50 ball which the keeper lost and Walcott finished off.
Is there a rule in which u cant go for a ball without touching the keeper?

You cant take the keeper out of it with another player which happened in the first half but the first goal was fine.

Van Persie will be back sooner then later in think.

PHB

No, but when you whack the keeper in the face with your arm, then it gets into foul land.

I do think keepers are way overprotected, but not in that case.

PHB

Great spot from the ref for the handball, still the way Liverpool and Boro are defending anything could happen in this match

Adeboyer was holding his ground. The keeper was the one moving out. If an arm did hit him then it wasnt adeboyer's fault. Taylor should have jumped higher. In fact Taylor didnt really look for it cause he knew he ****ed up. He got a knock alright but was it a foul? NO.

jank

Like cantona and keane??:rolleyes:

Isnt it great how we have different rules for different people

PHB

Actually Taylor did look for it, after he realised what happened, because he was kinda confused after getting hit in the pace.

I really don't see anything wrong with what Gallas did. He was just furious, and rightly so, at letting the lead slip. I don't think he could accept it for a while, which is why he's such a good player and imo a fantastic captain.

herbieflowers

well there's two ways of not accepting things: petulantly or professionally
