Arsenal vs The Champions match thread 28/4/2013 4pm Sky.

Fair shoulder and Rambo was too strong. Good call ref.

RasTa

lol @ dowd trying to keep up with Nani there. Don't these lads have to pass some sort of fitness test?

The ref and his assistants are having a nightmare. Missed an offside, a foul on the keeper, one of the lads coming through the back of RVP, Ramsey leaving one on Raf, two fouls on Nani. Very weird start.

Give over

Pj!

Bit surprised at how many Arsenal fans are still bitter about Van Persie. I suppose becoming a Champion doesn't help.

Arsenal playing with plenty of fire. Imagine if they always played like this?

OMG! A United player just got to the ball and caused an Arsenal player to hit the ground, it's obviously a foul!:rolleyes:

He was fouled.

There was no whistle so that's irrelevant.

This makes no sense. A foul is a foul whether you get a whistle or not. Said foul can affect your ability to catch the ball.

Except Nani had already been obstructed by Arteta impeding hi run. Should have been called back for that at least. Ramsey wouldn't have been able to make the challenge if Nani wasn't impeded in the first place.

Rooney is dissenting, why isn't he getting a yellow card? Jones is dissenting, why isn't he getting a second yellow? Ref is having a mare.

And Jones gets a card for that. Jesus wept.

Jones rightly booked for a cowardly tackle.

tayto lover

Walcott should not be left near a dead ball.

Also ironic to see everyone else complaining about it when 90% of the time it's what people insist Arsenal need to do more of.

Nuri Sahin

Should hit the target at least..

Is it going to be one of these threads where people are just going to act the bollix?

First off, I don't think it was a foul. Second off, a keeper should anticipate such pressure and act accordingly, ie punch instead of catch. The fact is he was lucky to get away with dropping a catch in the 6-yard box as the ref clearly didn't deem it a foul either.

There's being physical and there's being dangerous/reckless.

Oh sorry. We should all just sit back and pay homage to the champions. Ye got your guard of honour. Suck it up and play the game.

Would be pretty humerous if Van Persie scored a couple for a United win. Arsenal fans would probably explode with bitterness! :pac:

Don't understand why fergie plays psycho in midfield when clev is available.

tayto lover

Our passing is very poor. Need to get it right.

Nuri Sahin

Well that was odd all round.

Think I had a discussion with you about DDG before and you seemed to see things quite differently to me so I doubt we'll come to a compromise on this. :pac:

Free kick for nothing there. Referee is having a mare.

It wasn't cowardly. You are either clueless or acting the bollix.

Either way it was a bizzare post.

Well its a bit rich a United fan saying the irony of an Arsenal fan calling it mans game when you have the likes of Nani and Young at United .

so that means arsenal fans in here get to talk out of their arse? interesting

He is of course, deliberately acting the bollox but will deny it when a mod calls him on it. Cowardly Jones indeed.

See there was a foul by Jones not given. At first they were competing for the ball then Jones tripped him and no free kick was given. Referee is having a mare.

It was a bad tackle, that's it, the cowardly bit is only to rile up Man U fans here.

Pj!

The game obviously means so much more to Arsenal. This could be their 'big day'. United still hungover from Premiership celebrations.
