tbfh serious linkup play from fabio and rafael for that goal.

 

[Corran]

What was Chicarito doing on his knees before the whistle just went?

The same thing he always does... he says a prayer.

Was a decent bit of play by utd for the goal. Probably the only decent move we put together. Least we got a squad out there that should be able to defend a lead.

Hope we get to see Valencia today

Shows how much I've watched United from the off this year then Good to see such an open game, could do with it petering out to a draw for an extra game for each though.

 

[Corran]

Dont be surprised if you see Hernandez doing it before the 2nd half kicks off. He generally does it in the centre circle just a bit of the kickoff spot.

ITV pundits suck, Strachen talks as much shite as always... oh Arsenal are a 4-3-3 as their wide men can score goals, Utd are a 4-5-1 because they cant.... erm...... who was it that scored the Utd goal? Oh yes one the wide men, what a fucking pillock.
Strachen has no clue as to Fabio's abilities. He is actually a technically gifted player and much better offensively then his brother but I dont expect that Scottish twat to do his job and know what he talking about. lol

Arsenal got goals in them, just glad it VDS in goal as we would likely have conceeded if not.

Gwan!

 

[Vladamir]

Oh dear Arsenal, too easy for United.

BREAKING TEAM NEWS FROM OLD TRAFFORD
Manchester United line up with seven defenders in their starting XI - it appears Fabio and Rafael will play on either wing. Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez start up front. Arsenal, without the injured Cesc Fabregas, pick a strong line-up with Robin van Persie on his own up front.

olol United playing 7-3, and we thought Liverpool were defensive with 5 at the back of late

Feeling stupid now?

They may have goals in them but they've also got massive holes in them as well.

Smiley faces indicated sarcasm you fewl!

Yus, there is that.

So glad Valencia getting a run out. Be good to see him in the champions league once more. Would love to win it this year for him.

And Arsenal gonna throw everything at us now, need a 3rd to kill the tie off.If not for VDS then it would have been 1-1 moments before, great double save.

I don't care, I need something to chirp about after the horrors of last week!

 

[cHodAX]

That ball Valencia played just then, a big reason for Rooney's best season last year. Lots of good ball to run onto or head.

 

[Vladamir]

Perfectly balanced refereeing.

In other news, Richard Keys phoned Kenny Dalglish regarding the british transfer record of Andy Carroll, asking.

Did you smash it?

 

[cHodAX]

VDS is so good for an old fella.

 

[Corran]

Aye, hope it dont take 5yrs to replace him with more quality. Was a horrid period after we lost Peter. lol.

QFT. Some of the keepers we went through....Although seeing barthez head being kissed was worth some of it.

 

[cHodAX]

Horrid? We won silverware with Barthez, his time was alot better than people give credit for.

You might well suffer an Arsenal GK moment.

 

[Corran]

Dont mean horrid as in we got nothing during the period... it was horrid not knowing what the feck our goalkeeper was going to get up to next. You could go from a moment of brillance to the rediculous. Not good for the heart

 

[cHodAX]

Killer takedown by Rooney then.

 

[Vladamir]

Get out of his arse.

I know what you mean, it was memorable. Should have won another CL with that side really too, happy with two league titles in three years with Barthez though.

 

[Corran]

Valencia is looking like he still has a great pass/cross on him. Glad he hasnt lost that edge. Looking forward to April... Valencia on the right, Nani on the left. Should be some real quality and pace back in our midfield. Wasnt expecting Valencia until after the international breaks.

 

[Cerb]

I don't think people give Massimo Taibi the credit he deserved....

 

[cHodAX]

lol don't go there.

Tell you what, Van der Gouw was a cracking backup keeper, Mr Reliable that fella.

 

[Vladamir]

YouTube - play taibi off

 

[Vladamir]

Fucking hell VDS just go away with those saves

 

[cHodAX]

Fucking hell VDS just go away with those saves

Someone is working necromancy on his withered old corpse.

 

[cHodAX]

Time to load up 606 and listen to the call in methinks.

 

[Corran]

Smalling has been having a solid game. VDS man of match closely followed by smalling.

And god, how was that not 3. Good stretch from almunia to get it.
