Damn! Is this EPL seeing even games or what?

[Karl]

Top to bottom the TEAMs are putting in good showings.

Wigan were good!
The players tired towards the end...but even when down to 9, they were GOOD!

[Karl]

...and the GUNNERS threw away a chance to go

top of the league by 1 point.

Now they are 2 points adrift of the top and behind that damn BoyU

Westman, is who pay who(m) fi do wha'?? down to 9??!! hongle hat Hole Trafford...LOL

[Westman]

I bredrin, I stepped up before anybody else did. Regardless of the letter of the law, the spirit of the game suggested that neither should have been sent off. As I always say, I talk nuff trash on behalf of my team but I love football first. I liked the ambition of some of the Wigan players before the sendings off. The sendings off spoiled the game. Also, another ref may have given Wigan a penalty or a free kick in a dangerous area.

[Peter R]

I only saw about five minutes of the ManU game... I happened to catch the first sending off; the (Portuguese?) did foul the Manute...didn't see the first yellow tho'... agreed, you don't like to see ref involved so much in the game but he has a duty to protect players, I guess.

I have watched that free kick about 10 times and cannot for the life of me understand what was going through Fabergas and Chamak's heads. If my 11 year old daughter did that in a game I would bench her for the rest of the season. I am totally dumbfounded by it. This was a game that Arsenal HAD to win to get momentum going forward as their game against villa next week won't be easy. Arsene mus' be well vex.

They may even have been done in by positioning.

The player who finally put the ball in was standing behind the defensive line...before the free-kick was taken. However the 'new law' on players in off-side positions being not active has most defensive lines destroying self before such kicks are taken. There is this big scamper to get behind the opponents standing in an off-side position.

GUNNERS players put that player onside and put a huge wall of players in the way of 'keeper. Even if the 'keeper had a mind to come and meet the ball he would first have had to run through his own players to get to it.

Sorry Karl, ZERO excuse.

Paul?
...no excuse! We lost a game we should have won!

Exactly - and part of it was because your captain gave away a penalty for no good reason!!
