Yep it was a fun match, and as for RM, Mourinho's detractors must be having a lot of fun even though RM won by a good amount of goals.Quote:

But for the ref?!! I take it you missed the game, ya know, the one where Arsenal touched the ball about 4 times and otherwise got schooled.Quote:

Speaking of Man U, they were outplayed today by Basel at Old Trafford. They were very lucky to escape with a draw. They're in third place in the group :eek:
So you thought RvP sending off was sound? Figures though if you're a Debt Utd fan.Quote:

ManUre of course are a great team, but without the Refs they wouldn't won half of their recent league wins, 10pts gifted to them every season, they have already been gifted 2 against Chelski. Arsenal C team / junior team were awful against the scum, but the one thing I don't get is how they managed to score 2; Bacon Face will need to get the well used chequebook out in January if they are to keep up with their noisy neighbours.
And they got shown up tonight by the giants that are Basel LoL
A few points.Quote:

Wah wah wah refs favour Man Utd!!!! Oh please grow up. Are these the same refs that failed to send off Ashley Cole the other week for his assault on Hernandez?
They only beat Arsenal 8-2 because it was the Arsenal youth team??? WHAT!!!! Man Utds starting 11 was just as young as Arsenals!
(I'm not going to comment on the Basel game :dozey :)
Friendlies count for nowt, Arsenal were the last team to beat Barca - FACT.
When ManUre collapse under their massive debts will you all switch to City, glory chasing plastics!
Youth team / reserves, Arsenal A team beat scum last season.
I'm an Exeter City fan, we've got very little debt because we went into administration a few years back so can't get much in the way of credit. I appreciate the football that Man United play, much in the same way that I admire the football played by Arsenal, Barcelona etc. etc. Even Chelsea can sometimes string together a nice bit of play, although more often than not it's a bit ugly (albeit successful).Quote:

All irrelevant though, the Arsenal that beat Barcelona last season isn't the same one that is playing now. Therefore I don't think it's unreasonable to say that Man United are the strongest team that the EPL can offer.
Figured you didn't know what you were talking about re the whole ref thing but thanks at least for admitting as much. Of course Arsenal beat Barca at the Emirates and as you say were outplayed at Nou Camp, but had RvP not been sent off we'd have scraped through.Quote:

Arsenal currently leading in their match, Chelski drawing.
