Arsene knows, and I'll happily keep backing him....;)

Why was ribena boy sat on the bench?
Too cold for the poor darling?
Good game Villa & Rovers:)
Arsenal 4 v Bolton 2
In Arsene we trust, although I'm not sure that it will last. :rolleyes:
But love the fact they are top of the table.
Even for just a few days. :D
United aren't a good team Iain. We didn't play well, yet we beat you with what probably wasn't even our reserve defence playing, and missing our current player of the season along with our 2 big strikers.
It was a doggy penalty decision and maybe without it we would be going to the ragery with it at one all. But for me we played in our own half to much with an obvious lack of support up front for most of the game. Our mid-field played so far back that we left ourselves more or less trapped in our own half for a lot of the game.
The annoying thing is that when we did go forward we looked better than you lot. But with the mid-field not moving up to support quick enough our options were few.
In all seriousness I am expecting a big improvement at the Ragery next time with a full squad lined out. If we take the game to you we will win; you are there for the taking. :cool:
Rubbish. We created far more chances. Rooney ripped through you like a knife through butter.
We didn't play brilliantly, but for a team who aren't good, we sit a head of you in the league...
The league never lies..that's why the league is the bread and butter. Everyone knows that, even the scousers, despite their 2005 CL win, they know the league is what matters before you can say you're the best team in England.
And being a good team is about playing in the right positions, not just when you get the ball..
and to go on about injuries...Look at the players we have out. Ferdinand, Vidic, Berbatov, Hargreaves, to just name a few. Come on you're having a laugh going on about injuries, straws mate straws and clutching...
Danbert, IainR, do I sense a friendly forfeit-based wager might be called for here?
Sorry, I can't help stirring.;)
Perhaps something along the lines of whoever's team loses the Carling Cup semi says loud and clear on the forum "You're right, Man Utd/City (delete as appropriate) are clearly the best team in Manchester".
You can have a similar one at the end of the season regarding league position.
Who dares put their money where their mouth is. :p
this looks like the sort of refereeing that Fergie will be expecting to go his way next week, in fergie time of course ;)
Absolutely appalling...:eek:
Muddy you have to understand that for years the rags have sneered at us and called us "the bitters" in reference to their levels of success and our constant failings.
We probably were a bit bitter, seeing as how we perceived ourselves as being equal to them, even if we couldn't match them on the pitch. They even started to let it be known that we were no longer their biggest rivals.
My how things have changed.
Read the press, watch them on the box, see their contorted faces of hate, see their envy at our new-found wealth, while they slip ever deeper into debt and ignominy.
We are now their biggest match of the season. Their players and manager go out of their way to show how much they hate us.
Welcome United you are the new bitters.... what took you so long? :D
Is that a yes or a no Danbert?
:D
Deal
Just bought myself a new T shirt for the second leg

Also been told that city are going to be welcomed onto the pitch at the swamp with a ticker tape reception....the ticker tape made of the following;

Danbert, if you go onto the BBC, click sport > football > premier league.
Look at the table... :-)
Not a good team...sat at the top of the pile, games in hand or not, only good teams top the table after 20+ games.
I'm not so dismissive of City myself, I rate them, some decent players.
I'll take your wager. I'm confident this team will improve once Vidic and Rio return.
Good man Iain
I've got a feeling that Baconface will play his reserves on Wednesday though to try and save face
:D

A bit of interest for me in todays match. Former Morecambe winger Garry Thompson will be playing for Scunny against City. Didnt know until i watched a bit of the United/City match that another former Morecambe player, Jamie Murphy is now City's physio
well done stoke, you deserve the win.
Fabianski - rubbish
Silvestre - missing in action
Right back, don't even know who he is.
Stoke better at every 50-50, only ones who seem up for it are campbell (surprisingly good!!) fabregas rest seem to be awol.
Disappointing. :(:(
I thought the lad at full back did ok,i'd be more worried about how poor Walcott was-terrible. That Thomas was terrible as well. Silvestre has never been any good. You're right Campbell was good,but Stoke suit him,wait 'till they play a more tricky attack.
Going out will be a blessing in the long run i think.
Scunthorpe have just equalised against that team who are best known for being followed by those squabbly brothers from Oasis ;)
Walcott has time, didn't realise he's still not 21!! bad run of injuries, not a surprise he's not in form. Apparently wenger is working to make him more aggressive, (hiding the biscuits, not letting him play with his scalextric, keeping him off the calpol????:rolleyes:)
If he could cross as well as Brian Marwood i'd say he has a great future .... but he's more like Anders Limpar i'm afraid ! Headless chicken :D
Wot a goal !, taker a bow Sylvinho ! :D
Feeling confident Danbert?
Looks like the FA have yet again gone against Man U and are trying to ban Ferdinand. Usual FA 'justice' system. You get charged, you have to accept the guilty charge, or if you did dare to claim you were innocent, they add another game to the ban. Brilliant.
Tonights songs !!!
U. N. I. T. E. D.... That spells Glazers debt to me,
With a knick knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone,
Ocean Finance on the phone.
Hark now hear the City sing,
The yanks are here to stay,
to p*ss away united's dreams,
God bless the U.S.A.
You're in debt, You're in debt and its growing
You're in debt, You're in debt cant pay
You're in debt,You're in debt and its growing
You'll be bankrupt by the end of May.....
