wow, what a save from the penalty. Was an ok height but alot of power on it, so lifting it over the bar was amazing.

oO on replay was better then thought as was heigher then comfortable height.

 

[soze]

What a keeper Szcz is turning into.

Gervinho is looking good soze... but so did chamack at the start of last season....

PENALTY TO UDINESE!!!!

That's below the belt that mate!

 

[Ch3tan]

Fucking hell, what an awful fucking dive by Ramsey. He could have stayed up and had a pop.

Was not a dive there was contact but the defender got the ball.

 

[Turamber]

Udinese were looking good but have bottled it after going ahead. Arsenal's greater experience of the competition counts for something.

 

[Ch3tan]

The way he fell... he went down, contact was irrelevant, he could have stayed up.

 

[Aph3x]

Thought he stumbled over a dangling foot myself, played for but no dive for me.

Yeah he tried to "earn" a penalty. Also he ended up kicking the back of his own leg not easy to stay up when you do that.

 

[Vladamir]

Curtains.

 

[soze]

Theo Henry (fingers crossed)

 

[Aph3x]

Got to say the Udinese keeper looks a bit special, wouldn't be suprised if there were a few Premiership clubs sniffing around him in the not too distant future.

Good finish by Walcott, now lets see the mk. 2 version

 

[Ch3tan]

Theo didn't deserve to score, he's shit.

 

[soze]

What the fuck are the guys behind the goal there for Theo cops a elbow to the face and he does not give a penalty or send the fucker off. Or even tell the ref there's a guy down with a head wound!

 

[Ch3tan]

He was trying to nudge him in the chest... it's not his fault theo's a short fucker is it?

Also ITV commentator " They go to united on sunday, and they can look them in the eye".... oh dear.

 

[Bodhi]

How do ITV manage to be so insufferably shit on every level? Wank picture, wank commentators, just general wank. It's like they have gone to night classes and used every single waking hour in the pursuit of making a shit job of covering football.

Cunts.

 

[Ch3tan]

I stopped watching it now Bods, scouse game on sky sports 1 instead. Decent picture, ok commentary.

 

[Raven]

They shouldnt be allowed to broadcast football. The just spoil it.

 

[CorNokZ]

CHL is so last year....

 

[Keitanz]

It's the Daily Mail but I can't help but laugh at Arsenal fail with Kaka loan move as Real Madrid insist on permanent deal for Brazilian | Mail Online

 

[Ormorof]

what happened to Kaka

he was playing incredibly for AC then he moved to Real and just seemed to stop (in comparison to his earlier performances)

Might have something to do with us calling him a merc cunt

Actually I think he's spot on. Old Trafford can be a bit quiet sometimes, but we're like the Bombanera compared to you lot.

Arsenal has never been make your ears bleed loud but the atmosphere in the ground has always been good imo, it does not always come across on TV though. Maybe we should start playing crowd noises over the loud speakers to make it seem like we are more passionate

I've been to The Emirates a few times. I've been in more passionate libraries. It was better in the Highbury days, simple as. Not just because of the stadium itself but also because I think Arsenal has been "prawn sandwiched" more than most other clubs over the last decade.

BBC Sport - Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson ends BBC ban

I wanna watch that first MotD interview

 

[Corran]

wonder if he got an apology in that meeting, finally. lol

 

[Shagrat]

7 years, now theres a man who can hold a grudge

 

[Keitanz]

If it was any other manager he would have been fined about £10m by now.

No they wouldnt... they can only fine him if an official complaint is made by the rights holder. In this case the BBC never complained about Fergi refusing to speak to them, probably because they knew that any interview with him would be worthless and they better speaking to the assistant... but that isnt the point.

I think it always been the case that the FA and BBC could fully understand why Fergi refused to speak to them and didnt want the issue continuously brought up. No point in interviewing a manager that just stands there and shrugs shoulders or gives on word answers.
