What penalties have we got this season that have been questionable? What sendings off? Obi Mikel made a cruel tackle in the game against Chelsea, Mascherano made a 30 yard run against the ref to complain and got his second yellow.. be reasonable.

Chelsea: Ashley cole unbeliavably not sent off against Tottenham for a tackle that is a copy of the one that cut Eduardos leg off.

Terry not being sent off/penalty given against sunderland, total wrestling in the pen area.

Chelsea offside goals: Is it one each game now? One against Spurs (Joe Cole), equaliser against Arsenal..

Carvalho handball saving shot from Middlesboro right after they scored in the pen area not given.

Arsenal - eduardo handball scoring equaliser against Everton away. Offside 2-0 goal against City, and the week after another offside goal..

Can u please make a list of "all those" soft ref decision United got this season, because it seems as always, alot of bull and no facts when people complain on United.

It's a ****** Myth. Prove it with facts or ****!

How many years have we (the supporters of other 91 clubs) watched Man United win unfounded penalties, find equalizers in phantom injury time and have opposing teams lose a player to questionable red cards?

It happens so often that we almost come to expect it.

Finally, the tables are turned and Ferguson & Co claim "bloody murder!" and demand a review of the referees?

Alex Ferguson can go eat **** and **** himself!

I am going to comment on today's Derby match here coz that video is not posted yet. United are creating a lot of chances but missing most of those, some of those are easy sitters. Once again we had to look for Ronaldo to score. I am concerned for 2 things - missing too many chances and the other is the over-dependence on Ronaldo for scoring goals which I did not believe until this match. Of course we have potential goal scorers in Rooney and Tevez but where r those Rooney Saha goals gone. Also we used to see Rio and Vidic heading on the odd corners and Scholesy's deadly volleys from 30 yards out. I for one is missing those do not know if other fellow United fans feel the same way

[quote comment="13795"]Exactly what I think about Rooney. He's more of a playmaker aswell I think. He usually scores good goals like last season when his contribution was vital at times, but what I miss most when he's not playing is his fighting spirit and ability to lift the team and the fans.[/quote]
Red Devil give yourself a break dude... you have commneted on this video way more than you should. Easy men. Everybody get's your point, give others a chance to comment and move on.

[quote comment="13660"]And I dont really understand what this got to do with anything... So what?! Ruud Van Nistelrooy scored 150 goals in 201 appearances for United, wich gives us aprox 0.75 goals per appearance. In comparison to that, Henry sucks bigtime...[/quote]
Hey men don't trash Henry, he brought a lot of quality football for all fans worldwide, Nistelrooy is good too but he is a diferent kind of player, more of a goal scorer than a playmaker..

Regarding Arsenals squad. Success builds success. Man United have been successfull for a long time and have built a huge fanbase that generates alot of money. But you don't get anything for free, (it requires alot of hard work.) Unless you've got a control freak russion billionaire or a criminal Thai minister jumping to the rescue and splashing the cash for you to buy some success.

Man United bought alot of players as everyone else. As a wellknown club with alot of money we often pay much more than other clubs would have to do for the same players. But we still have a huge base in the squad built of playings who are products of our own youth academy, something Arsenal or Liverpool can't manage anymore it seems...

Regarding Man U is in second place, well we had the worst start we've had for several years this season and most of the points we've lost have come on occasions when we lost with the absolute smallest margins. We've never been outplayed once this season. We lost a random break-of-luck goal at Emirates in stoppage time and Ronaldo missed a penalty for 2-0 with 20 mins to go against West Ham. We outplayed Reading, City x 2, Bolton and we simply got robbed in some of those games. Just take the two I mentioned first - win against Arsenal and West Ham and the league would in fact be done and dusted this season. Arsenal have perhaps (as I said before) had the higher tops but your worst level of a performance is really low.

We're 2 points behind with a game in hand, we've matched Juventus record in the european cup by winning 10 games in a row, we have the (by many neutral experts) best central defence in the footballing world at the moment and so on.

It's crunch time now, and to be honest I think we'll have a huge indication of were the title is going to end up on the evening of Sunday March the 23rd. Derby away this weekend (Boro at home for Gunner who they were completely outplayed against at the Riverside) then Bolton at home in midweek before the crunchtime sunday 23rd when Liverpool comes to Old trafford followed later that afternoon by Arsenals visit to Stanford Bridge.

My hopes and beliefs is that we're 3-4 points ahead by that time, and might even be able to afford dropping points against Arsenal and/or Chelsea away and still win the league in the end.

Regarding Arsenals squad - if it's not big enough - win alot of trophies - make your clubs history famous - get some homegrown talent and you'll also be able to spend some money...

or look around for some russian, arab or thai millionaire to buy you the success in the short run... (Don't let any powerhungry stupid yankees put your club in depth though, not anything I recommend, it sucks, but in 2008 all you can do is the best of the situation!)

Peace:

Your argument was that Arsenal played in flare compared to United and it fails in the goal scoring department. We've scored 1 goal more with 1 game less in the league, true, but in all competitions we've scored more than you, a matter of fact we've scored 6 against your team in two games aswell... ;)

Red devil you are missing my point here
Look at the bench strength of manu and arsenal.Just compare the quality of manu strikers to arsenal.Tell me with such a strong squad why is manu still in second place?

I dont mind whether they come second or third this season,because they have already won by proving to all that you dont need star players to win.

Arsene wenger started this team as a dream and i just hope he succeeds.

El Nino: I've compared Rooney to all the strikers you mentioned using official FACTS and you have nothing to come up with? Was your argument THAT weak? Why not just admit you're wrong atleast.. show some decency FGS... Rooneys qualities are often underestimated. Football is about team performances. Quality players like Ronaldo can make a huge difference in the odd game but in a season it's down to the hole squad. Everyone must do their job and contribute defensivly as offensivly. That's football. Rooney don't score as much at the moment as he's capable of, alot has to do with 2 longer injuries this season, he's not really back to 100% yet, but I'm sure you'll see the best of him in several games before the end of the season and you'll be impressed for sure..

Peace: Football is not about flare. I've watched every single Arsenal and United game this season and when Arsenal are at their best I agree the football you play are enjoyable to watch, but so are Man Uniteds way of playing. Arsenal have a lower lowest level though, their worst game played is never any joy at all to watch, while with United, even the neutral hardly never finds a United game boring to watch.

But then again, if you don't win anything this season noone will remember the "flare" - football is about winning titles, and it that department your record compared to ours speaks for itself.

I don't think you will win the league this season to be honest, not to pick down on you (would be easy taking this that way since I'm a United fan) but considering 1. the form the top three teams are in, 2. that you still have to go to both Stanford bridge AND Old Trafford, 3. the width of the squads.

But time will tell. Everything is still wideopen. A couple of injuries, the odd bad performance can rule any of the teams out.

Also please let's kill off the myth media propaganda about the so incredibly "young" Arsenal team... Get sick of hearing about it.

Uniteds squad are 25.9 year s of age in average, and Arsenals 25. Media really get their freaking facts messed up here...

We scored more goals than you, we fill up our stadium for 95% of the games and our games are being shown on TV worldwide much more than any other team in the premiership. We've got the biggest worldwide fanbase.

Also I still don't understand how homegrown Londoners (Arsenal fans) can be so proud of a team consisting of almost no homegrown players at all. It's easier for me as a oversea fan to support any team, but even as a Swede I appreciate and feel the spirit and legacy of the players we have who are born 10 mins away from Old Trafford and have played for their heart and soul club their hole life and say over and over again they would never consider to play for any other club.

When Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Neville etc prefer to play only a few more years and finish their carreers at the club in their hearts to earning twice the money in Italy or Spain it makes me so proud. When a player like Rooney (who joined from other clubs) say at 23 years of age that he wants to finish his carreer at this club you realise we've got something special going on here that don't exist in any of the other top clubs we're players come and go and only a few devotes their heart and mind to his club.

I will tell you why arsenal fans are more proud than manu or chelsea or liverpool.If you see the players on paper manu ,chelsea and liverpool al have star players who are "expected" to perform while arsenal have just fabregas to boast about and thats what makes this team so special,you do not require star players but great understanding between players to bring out the best.
@ simon
your version of manus attacking football as the best is tottaly bullshit as critics agree that arsenal show more flare and make this game look beautiful.I do agree that manu have solid defence but attacking soccer fans of respective clubs will feel their club is best.
Arsenal victory in milan is a proof as to what arsenal can do on their day, a bunch of youngsters who are fighting to be recognized and will one day demand more respect from football fans worldwide.
WE LOVE YOU ARSENAL AND SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY!!!

[quote comment="13653"]No team earns anything by relying on one or two players to do their job. Everybody contributing is important to success. I guess that's Liverpools problem and why they never win the league anymore.. ;) Everyone plays a part and different players play different parts. Rooneys role is not only to score goals.

Henry scored 13 goals in 32 apps this season and has made 6 assists. Rooney scored 13 goals in 30 apps and has 9 assists... ;)

You better get your facts sorted out unless you want to embaress yourself...[/quote]
Red Devil,
I agree with all your comments. I believe these le **** and Liver**** fans will always post bitter comments on us , they are so shameless they would post comments for each other - **** fans supporting **** and L'pool fans supporting the ****....wat a disgrace they just dunt hv nothing about their own teams to talk about

We have lost one game this season with Rooney in the team. We lost it this saturday against Martin Atkinson, not Pompey..

I love the way Rooney plays and the energy and fighting spirit he brings with him. There is noone like him in the world of football.

i applaud you Red Devil. we appreciate a gem when we see one. how do you judge a player whose season has been dogged by injuries? moreover, rooney's presence in the team is an injection of confidence, the fact that man utd win most of their games with rooney starting says a lot.

Berbatov scored 77 goals in 178 apps until he was 23 y/o wich gives us 0.43 goals/game. Again, an out and out striker, good header of the ball, great box player like Ruud...

Rooney is one of the top strikers in europe and alot of top european clubs would be after him if he was for sale.

Re: Manchester United 0 - 1 Portsmouth

Red Devil — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 11:18:40 -0000

Fernando Torres scored 116 goals in 277 apps, wich gives us about 0.41 goals per game, slightly better than Rooney. But then again, Torres indeed is an out and out striker, often alone upfront with one role in Liverpools way of playing.

Re: Manchester United 0 - 1 Portsmouth

Red Devil — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 11:15:40 -0000

Ok, lets do a comparison with Samuel Eto'o

During his career he has scored 158 goals in 325 games wich gives us an impressive average of 0.48 goals/game aprox. Allthough Eto'o is a few years older than Rooney. Born 1981, joined Barcelona summer 2004, 27 years old (today actually) and until he was 23 (end of season 2003-04) he had scored 76 goals in 199 games wich only gives a slight advantage to Rooney who has 0.35 goals/game until this day.

But then, considering Rooney is more of a from behind or second striker who drops deep and Eto'o is the definitive "old fashion" box player they're quite similar in goalscoring qualitites I would say...

Now, please give it up... fool.

Red Devil — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 11:06:26 -0000

Actually Rooney and Henry got alot in common. Both produce alot of assists and both attack alot from the left wing. Rooney does it too.
