[...] Now, I mentioned in the match report from the Arsenal-United game that I thought Ferguson’s criticism of the referees was a direct result of his frustrations with his side’s inability to hold on to the 2-1 advantage they had attained and come away from the Emirates with a win, but these latest comments take those frustrations to a whole new level. He talks about how devastated and disappointed his players were coming into the dressing room after the match, but then criticises the Arsenal players for their proportionately opposite reaction to the same result.

Seriously guys, no bickering. Non-constructive posts will have to be blocked otherwise.

Arsenal played better. ManU had pure f*ckin’ luck on their side.

Arsenal is starting to get on my nerves. I see this guy to be one of the most hated players in the EPL, will most likely surpass Ronaldo, Pires, and Van Nistelrooy in that department.

Spanish Fry, you are the sound of wisdom. I don’t have any patience to reason with these manure fans.

Fair enough there. I never thought there’d be so many Manchester United fans onto the blog, but there you go. At least you’re not just here to swear and pay out all our players like many other people do on other Arsenal blogs. Just on what you are saying, I agree with you on many counts. I think things are pretty even – there is no way anyone can predict who is going to win the title at this stage. Arsenal have an advantage, because they have more points, but neither side can be discounted. Even Chelsea are back in the equation again. And yes, you’re right about Manchester United’s substitutions on the weekend, they were no good at all (except Saha).

hehehe.. i really love ur blog. btw, i must admit that my previous statement is not well delivered. There are two main players missing from 1st eleven, Gary and Scholes. Apart from that, depleted also refer to players performance at the moment. Eventhough OH and and Ronaldo did play, but their performance are way off their best. This is not an excuse. This is only a statement. Imagine MU game with those players at their best. That’s all. I personally would blame MU tactics. It’s not wise to attack a well structured and in-form team like Arsenal playing away from Home. Obviously Arsenal will attack, and MU should use this opportunity by counter attack Arsenal. MU can do this brilliantly becos we have the suitable player. 2nd, with 10 or more minutes less, the substitutions are really sucks. Carrick for Anderson!!! Anderson should carry on playing and Giggs should be replaced by Nani. In this setup, MU look very dangerous in counter attack. That’s all folks..

Decent points. But how can you call Fabregas a whinger after Anderson’s antics?

OK……ive been away but now im back…my view on the game is as follows–>

Im a bit dissapointed in the draw because we should have taken all 3 points at the end of the day but that is football and a draw is acceptable due to the fact it was a away game….i nearly predicted the 2-1 united win whcih hurts a bit and i was correct on the fact united were gonna hit arsenal on the break and out wide……Ronaldo to me is inform..everytime he got it he had 3 to 4 players on him at once and for a guy to be so tightly marked and get a assist and goal is just brilliant in my opinion.
United did very well in shutting out any rythem to arsenals game…The overall picture of the championship i think Arsenal WONT win it cause when it comes to getting injuries i believe they will have a bit of trouble later in the season…Also dont count out chelsea cause they are back….UNITED are the CHAMPIONS atm and hopefully will go back to back…..

Spanish Fry…on Anderson..i thought he was one of uniteds best…his touches were of class and he got stuck in and thats what u want in a player…Cesc i really like him but my god he whinges to the ref ever minute, he is possibly the biggest whinge ever…he did have a good game though…

I agree i thought Hargreves gave the ball away wayyy too much and was frustrating but thats alright he hasnt played hardly any games this season and he did do alot of defending for united….

Also like to say Arsenal supporters carried on like a bunch of clowns at the pub i was at when they equalised….acted as if they had just won a world cup final or somthing….from what i see i feel quite happy to say Arsenal will NOT win the Premiership..

amiaq_ferguson – I’m glad you enjoy reading the blog. I enjoy reading your comments – they’re quite entertaining – but if you say something that I don’t agree with I will always stand up for what I think. And as BayBB commented, you were not a depleted side against us on the weekend. A 2-2 result was a good one for Arsenal because of the manner in which it was achieved. Psychologically it felt like a win because of the late goal and for Manchester United it would have felt like a loss. Regardless of who was at home or not when you’re in front with 10 minutes you expect to win so you have to ask questions of your defence.
