Without a doubt, the most undesreved draw in the history of football. Even Aston Villa played better than Arsenal at Anfield. In no way did Arsenal even deserve a draw from this game. Anyone who claims this was a fair result should be brought off by the retard police for being, infact, a retard. Liverpool are superior to Arsenal in every aspect, bar a stadium.

Boo! That is Football mate, what a match,

Absolutely gutted. Liverpool gave absolutely everything, i've never seen a team work so hard. We deserved better to be honest, but that's life. Players deserved their ovation at the end.

You dominated posession yet only drew. That's what you deserve. We had significantly less posession and matched the 4 goals. I think both teams deserve what they got.

Think it's safe to say that he will. He's a quality player. Next season when he's fully fit and up to speed with the Premiership, he will be absolutely lethal.

Shockin defending has cost 'pool big time in the last 2 games. Lack of concentration at key moments. Gutted.

Must be awesome stuff for the neutral though.

dominated possession, had much, much more of the game flow in our direction, created a bucket load of chances that weren't taken, including efforts cleared off the line.

Ultimately, one side was far better than the other in every respect other than the scoreboard. Meh, that's football of course. You are allowed to be rubbish and still get a result.

Ah yeah but to be fair Arsenal were missing 3 of their first choice back 5

i know but at the same time it's ironic that the worst pieces of defending came from arguably the best player in Sagna. Arsenal as a team just can't withstand being under-pressure like that, more due to Wenger's mentality and the team setup than players. did you see him taking off Bendtner? taking off the only player who might possibly win those hoofed hopeful clearances? handed pool the last goal really, had he stayed on they might have been able to hold the ball further up the pitch for longer. they just lose their composure under such sustained pressure, it's clear to me that Wenger just doesn't do enough work in that area. that's why they wont win a title anytime soon.

Did no one tell Arshavin that nearly every one but Man Utd fans would prefer Liverpool to win the league.

Imagine 4-4 result would have got you 100/1 in the bookies but who could have predicted that score ?

Arshavin ...great player

Ya could also say that Arsenal were more clinical and took the chances they were handed*, Arsenal had chances and took them, Liverpool didn't. Thats the facts. We were severely under strength tonight and still scored 4 at Anfield. 3 of liverpools goals came from bad defending so its not really valid to state they deserved to win because of them.




*I was going to say created but decided not to.

How was it bitter, just stating that Liverpool could very easily have lost this game if it wasn't for a slice of luck and to complain about getting a draw is wrong imo. Still well within his rights though...

Definitely, was a major problem earlier in the season. Complete inability to defend a lead. Any pressure put on them and they fold, every time.

not really actually. Plenty of big clubs with big histories have fallen to the way side. the only thing that matters is the game in hand. Both teams fell short on this occasion.

yeah and had the likes of Adebayor and van Persie started where do you think Arshavin would have been; on the bench like he was in the cup semi-final watch adebayor fall over himself about 20 times :rolleyes:

Liverpool the lucky ones, you clearly either: don't understand the definition of luck; or you didn't watch the match.

No, The Premiership did. Judging by some of your posts it was probably before you were born.

This season has thrown up some twists and turns but I've to agree with Headshot in that there's gonna be more, with the Champions Leagues fixture having the biggest influence, I think. We look like we're setup to make a final push. Yossi is in the form of his life, Gerrard the same, Alonso. Torres all super. I think both Utd and Liverpool may have discounted the games against Arsenal as it the other games where the Premier League will be lost.

Onwards and upwards I say. Roll on the run-in and well done lads for the most entertaining games over the last 2 fixtures

I wish someone would just break Bendtner leg. He really is a terrible player, and its gonna take a horrible injury for Wenger to stop playing him.

Was thinking that all match....

However just took a look at BBC....

Mark Lawrenson on BBC 5 Live: "I'll tell you who has impressed me tonight: Bendtner. He's had a good game."


:eek:

Define "good"....

Wow, that was some match! Calamitous defending at times made me weep. The Arsenal lads will be disappointed to lose, but can't really say they deserved 3 points from that.

BTW, anyone hear the Liverpool fans booing every time Arsenal hoofed the ball clear or lifted the ball off the ground? And then cheered each time the ball was hoofed up to Torres! :eek: Unbelieveable

bUILDERtHEbOB

I'm pissed off man, I probably shouldn't be, what a game though, I think we deserved to win but at the same time as someone said we were lucky to get the draw at the same time, still, when Nwankwo Kanu scores 4 tomorrow we'll be right back in the race no bother.

jank

Great game. Gutted Arsenal could not hold on, but ill take the result. I suppose we can safely say that the title is United's to lose now.

I'm telling ya one or two defensive signings and Arsenal will be back up there next year! I also echo that most neutrals would rather united than liverpool win the league. Better the devil you know than you dont.

Anyway great game.

To me Sagna didnt look right at all. Probably hasnt fully recovered from the virus he had. He look wrecked at the end of the match. Goes to show how **** eboue is though.

spockety

Wow, what a match. Being a Liverpool fan really does blow your freakin head off at times.

Hard to take in terms of the title race, but ...Liverpool's form guide:

WWWWWD

If that ended up being

WWWWWDWWWWW with tonight's draw against Arsenal slap in the middle there, can you really say as a Liverpool fan that they didn't give it all they could in the run in?

Fair play to the players, they have not stopped going for the last month, and it's great to see the kind of hunger that gives you 95th minute goals.

Oh to see Torres fit for the whole season. Fingers crossed he will absolutely murder everyone next season.

As for this season, United with 7 to play. 2 losses from that possible? Who the frak knows, the way things are going. An amazing run in to an entertaining season.

fantastic match just a pitty again a ref ruins another game

i think liverpool can count themselves very very lucky

arsenal sublime in front of goal cool calm and collective but a shambles at the back

liverpool just a shambles and completely bottled it in the first half

Being results orientated when gambling is a big mistake. If he keeps backing 4 - 4 draw type bets he will most certainly gamble himself into a long term loss on sports betting.

Good for him though, nice when you ding a hopeful punt. No doubt about that.

with defending like that I highly doubt Liverpool will go the rest of the season without dropping points. Still they have been good recently so who knows

Perhaps if we'd not lost to Liverpool and Fulham. Beat Portsmouth after the current run of grinding out results then I can't see us losing it to be honest...still, never know.

Well seen as I was born in 86, thats your theory out the window. The Premiership started in 92/93 and ended in 06/07. The Premier League started in 07/08, so going on Premier Legaue titles both clubs have the same, only Utd have won the Premier League. If a change of name matters to you that much.

You be surprised the amount of people who will put a quid on a 2-2 3-3 4-4 score .

As the goals go in your payout goes up .;)

Septic peg doesn't come into it :cool:

Of course you'll be lucky to get one or two 4-4 scores in a season .

tbh arsenal play that way all the time they don't believe in shutting up shop

and that attitude has to be admired

otherwise you could be watching the other two boring sides week in week out

As well as Utd having to lose twice Liverpool have to win all five games as well. Couple of toughies in there. West Ham away and even Hull this weekend won't be a cakewalk.

Current odds from Betfair:

Man Utd 1.22
Liverpool 8.0
Chelsea 16.5
