79' Vieira gets a yellow 81' Vieira gets second yellow for kicking Ruud - he's off There's a mini-brawl out there!
What's happened to Ruud ? Missing clear cut chances? 3 consecutive penalty misses? Something seems wrong, here. At least the others have been on target.
By the way, the United announcers reported at least two Arsenal players punching Ruud after the game ended. The announcer said he was sure there would be disciplinary action. Classless.
Actually there were 3 Arsenal players who did that...I was watching on PPV. That miss was like a kick in the nuts.
It was. They have other ways to vent than that. It was first Keown, then Cole, and then either Toure or Lauren. If they really wanted to punch someone, it should've been their captain for letting them down again. And Keown shouldn't wacked himself for good measure too. What was he thinking on his challenge on Forlan? It wasn't the most blatant of challenges but it wasn't clever. And the ref was in perfect position to see it. The same with Viera's foolish follies. Some of those won't need a video review cuz the refs caught them and they're surely going in the match report. Didn't Wenger whine before the match that the ref was going to be biased?
Goes to show just how heavily they were defending. IN the 1st half. They weren't even trying to counter attack.
i was distinctly unimpressed with Arsenal, they had no chances on target and lacked any ambition whatsoever. OK they got a point a Old Trafford and not many teams will do that this season, but what happened to the Arsenal that will go for 3 points no matter where they are playing?
I think RVN's yellow was for the initial foul called on him. It was a very akward attempt to go for that ball. I can understand why it angered Viera. But that doesn't justify his or the rest of Arse's reactions.
Re: Re: Official Troll Post I was referring to the hatred we feel towards manUre, the hatred that burns with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. BTW, will RvN be working on his PK's this week? Glad to see the kharma wheel turn on him for a change.
i didn't see Nistelrooy swing an arm a fist or an elbow while being mobed. I would not of blamed Nistelrooy for lashing out at the graceless team from La Biblioique de Highbury and they would of deserved it. Nistelrooy just does the right thing and just walks away and leaves the FA no room to charge him while it leaves the FA to deal out the punishment to the Le Arse mob. They are sure to do somthing about it, probably a suspension or a few and maybe even dock points. Also for the penalty, Lehman cam off his line early and if the linesmen had any consistancy what so ever (judging by all the times it happened so far this season) it would of been a retake like at leeds yesterday and owens penalty(s) earlier on. I still think it's a stupid rule rule to an extent leaving more room for inconsistant dissions.
Re: Re: Re: Official Troll Post Sort of ironic, after Henry's miss earlier this week. Pk misses happen to everyone. For someone like RVN (or Henry) they're rare. Not really worth gloating about...
Re: Re: Re: Re: Official Troll Post That was my point. THICK with irony. And you guys would be all over it had the tables been turned and Henry got nothing but woodwork in injury time.
