Nice win against tough li'l Wigan but we left it late enough to give them and Steve Bruce some false hope. So almost half our goals this season have been in the last quarter. Way different than last season !!

Newas, an Arsenal win coupled with the Mancs losing means a good start to the day !

Full Highlights to follow soon .. As soon as i get some time ...

Arsenal 0 - 0 Slavia Prague

What a drag ?!!! Never expected I would say this for an Arsenal game. Wenger made 8 changes to the squad that took on the Mancs and it wasn't pretty. With just one effort on target, it hardly looked like it was Arsenal. Just wondering what inspired Wenger to go Rafa's way and i admit he wasn't as good as Rafa gets it on to be .. atleast we did get out with 1 point !! I hope I never see such a game from Arsenal again, without any co-ordination, without any clarity or vision, without any moves at all !! What was Gilberto doing in there anyways ?! No wonder Flamster's playin week in week out. I hope that doesn't change.

I guess I ain't even motivated to write more than this. I wonder if its worth downloading the game and making the highlights of such an effort. I think I will pass this time. Atleast we made it to the knockout stage of champions league.

Next please ..

Why do the Mancs whine so much ???

Yeah I'm talking about PurpleNose Fergie and his biatch, Hargreaves (or should I say Whoregreaves ?). Why can't they respectfully get on with life after not being able to pull off an "easy" expected win against the Gunners. Why try downplay the decent performance that the young Gunners put up in fighting back into the tie ? Couldn't they muster up enough dignity and get on with it?! Couldn't they take a clue from Liverpool's behavior after the 1-1 draw at Anfield? That was dignified. It was a pleasure to listen to both sides lavishing praise on the opponents, with the often-hyped-hypocrite Gerrard getting in the act as well.

First, Fergie goes on about Webb favoring Arsenal. Was he even watching the same game ? Foul on Brown that led to an Arsenal goal?? Oh Puhleese ... Van der Saar even took a goal kick after that incident. Oh wait .. Tellytubbie wasnt even watching the same game, so how can we expect him to notice that? Pointless, innit? And as far as Webb being biased towards Gunners, any referee in Europe would have given a penalty for the Whoregreaves' pulling of Hleb's jersey in the box. Any other referee would have given a yellow to Anderson for that ridiculous reaction to a not so bad a challenge from Fabregas and later demanding a yellow card in the referee's face. After the 2nd Arsenal goal, Van der Sar and Rio Ferdinand argued with Webb insisting that the ball din't cross the line. From what i saw, Van der Sar was inches away from hitting the back of the net!! What was that about Fergie?? Ahh and the abuse from the fans .. was it his first day as the manager?? and blaming it on the gooners is hardly in good light especially after goading from a Manc security staffer when Ronaldildo scored. Fergie's getting senile by the day and at the moment seems more paranoid that George W. Bush ever was!

And this wasn't it! Fergie had to comment on the celebrations in the Arsenal dressing room. Ferguson says they got a psychological boost from Arsenal's celebrations.

"At the end of the Arsenal game, our players were in the dressing room feeling absolutely sick," he told Manchester United Radio." That's twice in two years they've turned the game around and got something in the last minute, so we were definitely disappointed to come away with a draw. Meanwhile, their dressing room was elated. They were celebrating as if they'd won the World Cup, which I found very interesting. Our players took something out of that, psychologically." "I think we're a better team than Arsenal now. They're a young team and they're going to be a very good team - there's no question of that - but we went there when they were on top form and they hardly managed a shot on goal. There were definitely a lot of positives for us."

Coming into the game, Arsenal were not considered the favorites. It was considered the biggest test the young gunners would face after being seemingly written off even from finishing in top 4 following Henry's departure. The resilient gunners deserved to celebrate after coming back twice at home against a strong opposition. I wonder what could the mancs take something out of it?? They certainly didn't get the takeout pizza this year .. And about shots on goal, don't even get me started. The first shot on goal was Gallas' header from Cesc's free kick. If we look at the statistics, Arsenal had more possession, More number of shots on goal and more shots on target, lesser fouls and lesser bookings as compared to the mancs.. I bet Fergie flunked his statistics course back in high school or wait a minute .. did he even to go school?? That's a different story altogether now.

Now, coming to the c*nt called Hargreaves. Let's see what he had to say. . .

"Arsenal kept the ball and had a lot of possession, but they were never really threatening. Football is about scoring goals and winning games," said Hargreaves. "I do not think they had a clear-cut chance created in the first half, apart from the header by Gallas, and that was a set piece."

"Defensively, we did a good job and tried to control their so-called beautiful football.They keep the ball and try to play that way, but when a team is as good defensively as ours, you can keep them at bay because we played very tight together. You do not get to the top by conceding a lot of goals, but it is difficult when there is so much offensive power on the pitch."

"When you win the ball back against a team like Arsenal, who take a lot of risks going forwards, it is vital that you attack. We have a lot of quality going forwards to catch them. Both of our goals were from really beautiful pieces of play and theirs were a bit more scrappy."

Is he high on moonshine?? Beautiful pieces?? One was an own goal and the second one was a defensive mistake that led to a goal. Beautiful?? I am willing to start a fund for raising money so that we can buy an Oxford's pocket dictionary for him. Hopefully he can use that when being interviewed to avoid goofing up saying words whose meaning he doesn't clearly get! This came when Hargreaves hardly put a forward pass in the game. A team as good defensively as their ?? At times they had 3 people covering 1 gunner .. is this their great defense?? (I still remember how 3 players including Whoregreaves were on Hleb trying to recover the ball!) This and then there are mancs who thought it was Arsenal who put all their men behind the ball in order to stifle their creative beautiful passing moves!! Well everyone saw who put more men behind the ball and who tried to break up passes by fouling and acting!! Talking about acting, I guess Fergie can establish an acting academy after he retires from leading the wankers .. He's taught some pretty nifty moves to Rooney, Ronaldo, Evra and now Anderson is quickly learning the trade !! What a rollover .. He should be nominated for the Oscars along with Denzel or Russell Crowe .. He would certainly beat them if it were not the abrupt end to theatrics the same instant he saw the referee give a yellow to Cesc.

And to define Owen's class (and he's not even the better of the two Owen's on the English team!!), he had to denigrate his old team now. He claims that Bayern Munich aren't near Mancs as far as class goes!! This to be said about a club wher he spent half his life since starting to play when he was a kid!! I guess you could stop it already Owen. I bet Fergie's balls are soft and fluffy again after all this sucking up from you!!

Newas, it would be incomplete to finish this rant without the photograph of the soon-to-be-legend-gooner Finger Woman (as the press called her out)!! You're an inspiration to us all .. Standing up against the bullshite thats plaguing English football.
