.........the game of soccer saved?

i'll try my best to be detached in this post... but i think biased elements wld creep in so bear with me all those man utd supporters.

okay, number one... wads with mike riley? did he forget that he had yellow and red cards in his pocket? i tot he was really lenient in the first half.... very unsure of giving cards... and making dubious decisions. okay, that foul on Rooney by Campbell was.... sorta understandable.... but wad about the one by Ferdinand on Ljungberg, or ruud's stamp on ashley cole, or the consistent fouls on Reyes. mm... but okay being objective, Viera was a pain in the neck... always by rileys' side... think i wld have smacked him in the face if i was the ref.

Besides, rooney himself claimed that he wasn't touched by campbell. how controversial. but Wenger has a really bulliish, snobbish attitude... i'm sure SOME arsenal fans and ALL man utd fans will agree with me. Ferdinand held his ground after the first goal... think if not for him, there wld be an equaliser... Brothers gary n phil getting booked. so many fouls. Roy carroll made fantastic saves...

yes yes, the better team won.... but the more consistent team will truimph.

Abel -- Yes, OUR game is saved. I think Arsenal fans didnt really mind losing. At least now the Premiereship is still a competition. Which is really a compliment to Arsenal's standard. Guess they were a little unlucky that day. But they werent the cleanest team while winning or the fairest as well. Pires dives, Lehmann wastes tonnes of time, Henry runs to byline and holds ball, and Viera is a wrestler. Having said that i guess everyone hates winners. Thats why everyone loves me and spurs.

a sad day for arsenal.
a sad day indeed.

but it seems that man u is the only on capable to taking down arsenal.... sigh! the campbell-rooney foul was crap. my friend told me that the game was rigged.
i dont *think* that it was rigged, but who know with these things....

anyways, arsenal all the way!
still the best team around.
