Gribz 837 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Surprised there was no thread about this. What a cracking game! How on earth did Arsenal not take at least a point from the match!! They were by FAR the better side. Fletcher's challenge on Arshavin was an absolute STONEWALL penalty. Yet Van Persie does the same to Giggs and gets booked. Arshavin's goal was a peach. Cant believe Foster got to Van Persie' effort from 4 yards out - that would have finished the game, and if Van Persies free kick had went in they would have went on and won it IMO. What was Diaby thinking!!!!! Then he shoudl have made it 2-2 straight away. Its all about how Arsenal will recover but with Fabregas, Nasri, Rosicky and Walcott all to come back they will be there or thereabouts. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hate to say it cos Arse deserved to win. Agree without doubt they were the better team. Definite penalty with Fletcher/Arshavin. Rooney IMO was already diving although there was still contact. Only happy to see Wenger whinging aghain but this time he was right. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 837 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Yip forgot to mention, I thought Rooney's wasnt a pen, his right foot was down before any contact. The sending off of Wenger at the end is a joke. Is he not allowed to show emotion when he thought he had nicked a draw!!! Quality stuff from his to stand up in the crowd though. Arsenals next match at man city, yet Man U go to Spurs! Interesting games. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 837 Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Spurs were effing Jammy!!! Birmingham were the team who looked like getting a winner then Stephen Carr slipped on the ball and Spurs scored in the 94th min. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Fletcher's challenge on Arshavin was an absolute STONEWALL penalty.Yet Van Persie does the same to Giggs and gets booked. Couldn't believe that wasn't given as a penalty. On a sidenote after hearing what Wenger said yesterday, I can see UEFA not giving Eduardo a ban because it would just leave them open to accusations of not being consistent. There's so many ramifications of them banning players when the referees don't see fit to accuse a player of simulation when the incidents happen on the park. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crouch could have had 3 goals in the space of 10/15mins. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was flicking back and 4 between a few games but watched mostly this towards the end. That player Benitez looks a good signing, when he came on it was all birmingham. McFadden should have had a penalty aswell. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
