Hah! Brantt doesn't watch this so we're spared a rant about how they're corrupt and fixing it. When at the end of the day, it's just stuff is really fast paced and hard to make decisions in real time. I don't blame them for letting the goal stand. Arsenal "deserve" it, and the keeper took a rash course of action.

Whatever. Just promise me whoever wins between Chelsea and Arsenal will beat the Mancs.

Agreed, Arsenal have been dominate the last 75 minutes. just couldnt help myself :lol:

wow the last 10 minutes have been fairly ridiculous

The fuck is wrong with Wenger?

Lots of fouls not given at the end on both sides.

i agree, i thought it hit the Aresnal players head after the deflection, but the beater team won. So IMO if you create as many chances as Arsenal did your sometimes bound to have some decision go your way.

I had no idea what he was doing right after the game.

He was obviously pissed about something, probably the 5 minutes of stoppage.

Phil Brown said Cesc spat at Hull's assistant manager. They don't appear to like each other.

All the little feuds in English football are more blown out of proportion than anything you get in the NFL or MLB by an order of magnitude. Hilarious really.

by **FTN** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 18:24:01

Phil Brown should probably shut the fuck up and be thankful we didn't beat them 5-1 today. Lord knows if we had Eduardo in the squad it would have been possible

My picture was so lousy today I didnt bother watching after the whistle went. But apparently there was a bustup in the tunnel between Cesc and Hull's assistant manager, who is claiming Cesc spit at him. No video as far as I've read, and I'm just getting the details now. Wouldn't surprise me if that scumbag was instigating, I read the Hull bench was chirping and trying to start shit all game.

I hope the pricks get relegated. Phil Brown can suck it.

“But for their club captain, Cesc Fabregas, to spit at my assistant manager at the end of the game just shows you what this club is all about.”

Outrageous thing to say. Especially about a club renowned for our class.

If that was Arsène tomorrows papers would be a 'sore loser' wankfest.

Seriously, die.

by **FTN** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 20:23:46

I hope Wenger flips out

by **FTN** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 20:39:13

Wow now im seriously wound up.

Now hes accusing that Cesc "spit at the feet" of the assistant manager. Cesc has already denied it.

Because Brown has a nice fake tan and bleached teeth and loves the camera, everyone is going to take their side. Had this happened to us, it would have been more "Arsenal are sore losers" tripe that the media loves so much.

Rafa signed through 2013. Woohoo!

by **FTN** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 18:19:13

So about 3 months until we start hearing that he's unhappy with something?

by **jerseyhoya** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 18:33:44

Whatever. I think Rafa must have gotten a large bit of what he wanted in the contract. The continuity should be good for the team, and it does look like we've taken a step toward winning the league this year. Still imperious in Europe too.

by **FTN** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 18:36:57

Ill never question his tactics in Europe. But I think he's got a number of shortcomings, especially when it comes to squad construction. He's made two brilliant buys in the last 3 years with Torres and Mascherano. But he's wasted a lot of money on other guys and then cried poor and said he didn't have the same backing that Fungus and the clowns at Chelsea had.

CL QF draw tomorrow morning.

Anyone but Liverpool please.

I actually think we'll get Chelsea :cry:

by **jerseyhoya** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 14:22:25

1) Villareal
2) Porto
3) Man United

If we have to get a tough tie, might as well make it the big one.
