Arsenal will win nowt again this season I fear.
Have a study at this
Lost at ipswich
Struggled to draw with leeds at home (penalty)
Struggled to beat huddersfield at hone (another penalty)
Lost a 4 goal lead at newcastle
Been taken to a replay by Leyton Orient
and this is supposed to be league championship contenders,
I don't really think so.
But
They do play entertaining football it just has no end product.
A striker and a good goalie would mend that team.
But who else?Originally Posted by Stagger
The new keeper is good, that was the defenders fault. I think this Arsenal is not far off, Song, Wilshere and the new keeper have made a big difference.
Everyone else is dropping points and United have a very tough next 5 games..
Chelsea have had an unbelievable bad run, City have dropped too many points. I still think Liverpool may yet grab 4th. Big loss yesterday though.
Good season, into march and nothing is decided.
Think rooney will get a ban, tbh the wigan player stepped across his path so should also get some punishment. Depends on Clattenberg. Silly by Rooney but think I'd have had a swing had someone done that to be, just a reaction.
United?
Rooney escapes ban (well what a surprise:thunbdown
Liverpool, no chance.
Prediction for top 4
man u
arsenal
man c
chelsea
Rooney has been let off again...
Should have been redcarded, 3 match ban. it's a pity some one who can play like him can also act like a terrace thug.
I'm surprised.
Typical FA though...no consistency..
Can't see how Clattenberg could say it was just a freekick. The reluctance to acknowledge errors is staggering.
I understand why Rooney did it. I'd like to see how many time s McCarthy stepped across him before this because Rooney was waiting for him so there must have been previous.
Very lucky though.
Re top 4. I hope. United >Arsenal > City > Chelsea. Spurs 5th. Liverpool 6th.
Big loss for Liverpool yesterday, huge week for United. If we take 3 from 6 over this period I'll be happy. After that we have an easier run in.
Watch the video footage.
Macarthy looked to see Rooney coming and changed his direction to block him, he also then at the last minute put his shoulder in. If you watch Rooney he tried to take some evasive action, a sort of side step and swerve move, and yes the elbow came up, but it wasn't a swinging elbow and half caused perhaps by him running at full tilt on a line that was open to him and then having to imbalance himself.
You may think a red, I would suggest a yellow at worst but I would also say that the cause was an illegal block by Macarthy - but of course some people are always ready to get stuck in to him.
I genuinely believe that the person who will lose out in the end his rooney himself though Ian. He will commit something a lot more serious, the trouble with rags is they think they are above the law, give this guy enough rope he will hang himself, he knows now he can get away with anything, or thinks he can?
Really - I would say if you look at his experiences with the tabloids, he has got less chance of getting away with anything than probably any other footballer in England.
His elbow was much lower on the richter scale than Gerrards on Welbeck that he got away with - there was much less furore over Gerrard.
Unfortunately not all players are saints like the blue half of manchester..http://www.tuxboard.com/video-tacle-de-jong-ben-arfa/
And this is an elbow by Gerrard on Brown...no ban either....was it that much different...
