*Official* English Football Season 2007-08

Cesc does it again.

The Manure goal may have been the best thing for this game, different atmos in the second-half.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Media's overhype of Fabregas is annoying, basically in the buildup to the goal he lost the ball and relied on team-mates to win it back, and even then the goal would never have been scored but for some sterling work from Sanja (or however you spell it) after VDS save. Sure, great player, but his importance to the Arsenal team is overstated.

And as I type Fabregas gives the ball away and the follwing move by United nearly ends in a goal.

 

[grecian]

Fergies ****lings looking the more likely atm

 

[Tom Halsey]

Fergies ****lings looking the more likely atm

Right on cue. Ronnie!!

 

[Matteh]

Whoever hammered the Y button to send the keeper out, made the wrong decision.

 

[grecian]

Yeah, I hate being right.

Tbh, Fergie has totally out-thought Wenger today.

Evra, sheesh

 

[Tom Halsey]

Whoever hammered the Y button to send the keeper out, made the wrong decision.

Yes indeed, not the first time he has needlessly come charging out incidentally.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Not particularly impressed with Anderson's and now Evra's antics when tackled today, though.

 

[grecian]

Gallas scores again, thank ****.

The Mendes rule not applying this time.

 

[Matteh]

Haha, sod off United.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Ffs.

 

[roseboy64]

Agreed.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Ah well, on the bright side, would have taken a point prior to kick-off.

 

[grecian]

Fair result really, Arsenal had by far the better of the possession, but that was partly Fergie's tactics, letting Arsenal come onto them and hitting them on the break. Clear-cut chances were fairly even.

 

[Spitfires_Fan]

Can't wait for van Persie to come back, Arsenal don't seem convincing with Adebayor up front on his own. Would like to see Walcott start up front in the Premiership, I reckon he could cause some problems.

 

[Loony BoB]

I'm satisfied with a draw, especially considering Ronnie and Fabregas scored as they're both in my Fantasy league team. But yeah, gutted at the late goal but otherwise happy enough.

 

[Matteh]

Mansfield 5-nil up against Macclesfield atm. **** yeah.

 

[aussie]

word, a weird tactic by Fergie i thought but it worked well. Satisfied with a draw don't think either side deserved to go down with nothing..

 

[grecian]

City score five.

Torquay lose, a son of Brian Boru sinking the green slime (thats happened before this season, I think, great family, tbh), I make that a fairly decent footballing day

 

[BoyBrumby]

Credit to Fergie in his interview. He didn't have the temerity to claim it wasn't a goal, which is refreshing.

Our old issues about not scoring have definitely become more apparent against better quality oppo tho. We can pass the ball into the net against Slavia Prague all we want, but when we come against a competent team who play who two banks of four in front of us we struggle.
