Should have done better at Arsenal? 3-1 instead of the 3-0 it was? :w00t:

...and, games the opposition had less possession and less chances? What then would he have said of a GUNNERS who deserved to lose only the recent game against Sheffield United?

A GUNNERS who should havein excess of 60points?

Tell him/her this is football! Nuh badda wid dat (N)

This red may have been drunk. How dare unuh bring up the Sheffield game? Livafool was the one that benefitted from a BS call. Manu lost to Westham after dominating, Chelsea and Arsenal lost points after dominating, suh (N)unuh nuh start.

RE: Liverpool? - Not too far off the pace!

Lazie - what Sheffield game were you watching? Put down the crackpipe star. The penalty at Sheffield was a clear penalty...if you understand the rules of the game, a man don't have to touch another man for a foul to be committed. If in the Ref's opinion, a player tackled recklessly, and impedes progress of the opposition, thatcan bea foul. As for the Reina call, he was CLEARLY inside the area when he released the ball, yet the blind edyat linesman said he handled the ball.

What happen, you vex the Canadian youth pipe that rahtid pass unuh? Cho. If is fight you want...bring it on
