I made my comeback yesterday.. left wing back for an Italian team in Turin.. 3 dives.. 3 free kicks won.. even the italians were making dive gestures to the ref by my last one.. when in Rome.... we ended up losing 1-0 though... good laugh..Quote:

Well played swansea city, saw ist half and what a game. Gutted to lose, now 5pts behind Chelsea, ouch. Need some inspiration from somewhere, come on Henry, you're time is now. Little matter of Man U next week I think?? Maybe our traditional April fold is starting early and we'll be good at the end of the season.
Not a happy little gooner right now.....:thunbdown:
Swansea 3 - Arsenal 2
Good game for the neutral viewer :cool::D
First time Swansea have conceded more than one goal at home in the league this season!

To get back to his old form he might need Hg Wells time machine!Quote:

True Alf - They made us grind out that result and until everyone is back and fit that is what we may have to continue to do, then hopefully motor on. A draw or win against Spurs and a United defeat and we could be 4-6 points clear at the top. A win would end the Spurs challenge too. We could actually lose and still be 2 points clear of Spurs and 2 or 3 clear of United if they draw or lose.Quote:

Nasri breaks the deadlock and we should have a proper game now :cool:
Lescott :confused: gets the second City goal.
Defoe gets Spurs back in it normal game on resumed!
Don't think it will get goal of the season.Quote:

Bale equalizes the game....Balotelli about to come on...anything can happen now!
Good to see him stamping his authority on the game.... :thunbdown:Quote:

A game of two halves :rolleyes:
It's been a while since City vs Spurs has been a bigger game that Man U vs Arsenal.
I would love to laugh at spurs losing to a last minute penalty but, with man u in 15mins, we could get thunped and look even worse.
Come on gunners, you can't lose 3 matches in a row, that's your april form, not january.....
He did and I agree Balotelli definitely did try to stamp on Scott Parker. That said, he didn't actually catch him. So for me, the retrospective red is hanging in the balance. Will he get a 3 game ban? I have to say, probably yes he will. He's a total fruit-cake. There was absolutely no need to risk that.Quote:

Listening to the match on the radio. We're playing United and there is no atmosphere at all. Walcott is playing like we should sell him to Aston Villa. The rags have just scored from a header. Oh dear.
Feets like a bit of an anti-climax after the City/Spurs game but that didn't take off till the second half. Arsenal had defended well up to the goal I thought.Quote:

Oh dear, but stunning Man U goal, high quality!!
Good game last night..
Very harsh penalty call..
But Mancini's decision to go 3-5-2 was strange.. Fair play to Liverpool though, best I've seen them for a while, bellamy's a real handful.
Mancini's team selection was wrong -I'm struggling to come up with one single, credible reason for the omission of Aguero, Clichy and Milner from the starting 11 last night.Quote:

I think he was interested, but like Fergie he risks it and tries to get through with the weakest team possible.. leaving out as many of the first teamers as possible. It back fires a few times. If you finish the season with the title then the risk is worth it..Quote:

yeah.. I think he should have gone for it.. the league cup is scoffed at but United have won it in a few times and its been important in keeping that winning mentality... I see why he did it though. Aguero has a lot of pressure on him now with Ballotelli out and Dzeko not scoring regularly.Quote:

Disgraceful in my opinion. There is only one man responsible for our current situation and that's Ken Bates.
some thing needed to be done but I'm not sure this is it.Quote:

What manager worth his salt would want to work for Bates? Best players to be sold (or given away for free because they've not been given a new contract) and replaced with emergency loan signings.Quote:

Warnock would buy Paddy Kenny, get you promoted and then get fired...that's what normally happens. I hope Leeds don't get Warnock as I'd much rather they were in the Chumpionship.
