These are the games that United go on to win.

ONeill · February 01, 2011, 08:21:37 PM

Some pressure on the officials now, especially the linesman. It seems the lino didn't know the rules.

Dinny Breen · February 01, 2011, 08:38:51 PM

Need a lineswoman in there - that was a shocking decision - Fellaini the big bollix having his usual good game against Arsenal

gerry · February 01, 2011, 09:23:31 PM

needed that 20 minutes to keep with in touching distance of utd

ONeill · February 01, 2011, 09:49:29 PM

Great second half performance. Keeping in touch.

Puckoon · February 01, 2011, 09:51:35 PM

And the spuds are 16 points off the pace.

Any links to the goals?

Dinny Breen · February 01, 2011, 10:03:13 PM

Last season Arsenal might have only drawn that game after going a goal down, great attitude in the 2nd half, really worked hard and deserved the win, the little Russian starting to show form as well...

I like how he was all business and right out to the centre circle to get it going again after he scored.

Good man.

2 good goals.

Hopefully Arshavin kicks on from this and the big centre half knocks in a few more.

Liked that as well Puck.

An eagerness to go for the kill.

Thanks for that. HTF was the first one allowed?

ONeill · February 02, 2011, 12:09:10 AM

Heard someone going on about 'first phase' and 'second phase' but surely as soon as the ball left the assist's feet the flag should have gone up.

Bit of a palaver afterwards with Moyes saying Cesc's abuse of the ref in the tunnel at HT was a red card incdient. Cesc is very ratty these days.

If that was Wenger they would be asking him if he saw the offside.

Saha was offside when the pass was made. The fact that it wasn't a perfect pass and the defender got a toe to it doesn't change that. Do the authorities want the defender to be afraid to play the ball?
