Team against Arsenal vs. Team against Chelsea and Liverpool

[MadDogg]

You had one shot in the first half which Almunia should have put round the post.

What about the Rafael header where he really should've scored?

I noticed something interesting that really does wrap up the difference in a nutshell. When Arsenal took a shot and VDS saved it, it was always Vidic and Smalling getting back first to clear the ball if he couldn't hold it. That happened once or twice, plus a couple of other times when VDS did keep a hold on it. But when Almunia was saving one of our shots, Fabio got in behind your defence to slot away the rebound for the first goal, and I noticed Hernandez did the same thing a couple of times in case he dropped it again.

Pete got nine replies out of that. Fair play. I'm embarrassed now. But I am slightly worried that he's not simply wumming.

You can almost smell the burning rubber from gooners doing u-turns on their "possession means nothing, only goals matter" stance from earlier this week.

Not at all, the team with the most possession usually wins. However, as today has exemplified that's not always the case.

We had plenty of missed opps to get a shot on goal. At the end of the day you had one shot on target in 45 mins and scored because of a goalkeeping feck up.

 

[Hectic]

Thankfully footballs played over 90 minutes and the result is based on goals not shots. At least we can agree the best team won today.

 

[Brophs]

Games between us and your lot seem to buck that trend.

 

[Jiggs'Hamstring]

Calling it a goalkeeping feck-up is an obvious attempt to begrudge us any credit whilst placing the blame on already maligned player. Cool

Actually, all other recent games between United and Arse have also exemplified that's not always the case as well.

In a nutshell, you are our bitch!

We actually scored because Koscielny went to sleep.

 

[Sarni]

We played with seven defenders and still beat them, you can understand their frustration surely, must hurt them a lot to be as powerless as this against us and it's been going for a while.

 

[Sarni]

We actually scored because Koscielny went to sleep.

And because we are a much better team than them.

 

[peterstorey]

We actually scored because Koscielny went to sleep.

It was a routine save, no way should it have been batted back out into the danger zone.

You were fecking rubbish! Haha!

And you're talking horrendous bollocks in this thread. Your lot can't defend and we could easily have had four. All on the break but we were still closer to scoring more than you were to scoring. Possession means feck all if you can't do anything with it, and your lot looked lost today.

You parked the bus and got lucky on the counter. Lucky, lucky, lucky I should be so lucky.

 

[sincher]

We weren't lucky. We completely did you tactically.

 

[peterstorey]

Ha ha, we lost? That's about the only intelligent (?) thing you can take away from your post.

 

[sincher]

You were poor.

If you were watching Spurs, you'd have weighed straight in with it.

We were vulnerable and you completely failed to exploit it.

 

[peterstorey]

We weren't lucky. We completely did you tactically.

Bollocks you were saved by VdS and got all the breaks on the day. Your midfield was wall-to-wall shite.

 

[sincher]

Our midfield was deeply average, yes - you completely failed to take advantage.

VdS played well but you didn't threaten nearly enough.

We quite rightly considering our injuries set up with two banks of four and did you on the counter. Worked a treat and we could easily have had 4.

 

[Hectic]

What's your point here? Surely you don't think arsenal deserved to win?

 

[December_16]

Tbf your keeper + defense + strikers are, too.

 

[sincher]

He's grumpy and trying to make the best of it by winding United fans up. Arsenal were woeful today, though.

 

[Kraftwerker]

Bollocks you were saved by VdS and got all the breaks on the day. Your midfield was wall-to-wall shite.

A patched up United B team with one eye on the Champions League beat Arsenal's strongest possible side.

Who gives a feck how it happened? Do stats matter now after you protested they didn't midweek?

Why do you always heap the embarrassment on top of the misery for yourself?

 

[Hectic]

See, I would infract him for wumming but it's really not working. It's something close to pity now.

 

[sincher]

He's got nothing today. 'More possession', 'lucky', same old shite.

 

[CptMarvel]

Strategy won the game today.

VDS win us the game today.

 

[Scholesgoals]

Better then none I suppose. If we are doing wind ups I mean.

i wish there was rep on this forum. thats a great burn.

 

[Kraftwerker]

Tuesday night after Barcelona's total domination stats are laid bare to storey:

Who gives a flying feck about stats?

Flash forward to today. A strong Arsenal side weakly dominate the midfield against a patched up United B team and suddenly stats matter again.

Desperation.

Who's the bitterest man in the living room? The bitterest man in the living room...

Why can you never accept that other teams can be better than Arsenal and congratulate us instead of going on and on about how perfect you played and the other team were shit and still won.

 

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

Bullshit. Henrdez' header was top draw. There is no reason why the defnder let Fabio get goal side of him to get to any rebound. Edwin made the same save the other end, difference being he didn't have his defenders selling him out.

 

[Sarni]

You parked the bus and got lucky on the counter. Lucky, lucky, lucky I should be so lucky.

It happens every single time we play you apparently, I would say there is much more to it than luck, we are simply a far better team.

 

[peterstorey]

Let's see on May day.

Barcelona were the better team the other day, you fecking weren't you jammy cnuts.

 

[esmufc07]

Let's see on May day.

Last couple of trips to the Emirates have been fairly comfortable for us.

 

[Sarni]

Let's see on May day.

Hehe, even Crawley would beat us in one odd game if they were given enough tries.

 

[peterstorey]

We'll only need one.

 

[Sarni]

We'll only need one.

Yes, cause today and the last, what is it? Five or six games? They didn't happen at all.

 

[Sarni]

If we played you instead of teams who actually put up a fight against us like Liverpool, Birmingham and Everton, we would be running away with the league right now.

 

[Alex]

Assuming you keep winning, playing your strongest available side and being brushed aside like a tsunami by a weakened United doesnt bode well for y'all
