Well I have to admit that the best team won today. We were not at the races at all, we looked disjointed and much too narrow in our play.
I still think we should have started with two wide men, Lennon & Bale...........that is where our immediate strengths lie. Our back four was all over the place and we never really got going in the middle of the park.
The sending off was just the final piece of the jigsaw, in my opinion Scotty has been sailing close to the wind in recent weeks.
I think Arsenal have played the best I have seen them for ages and fully deserve the points. Even at 2-0 down they still looked the shaper side and RVP could have had 4 goals today. If they had been like this more often, then it would have been them chasing City & not United.
Right, we need to put the disapointment today behind us and focus on the rest of the season and ensure this is a one off. We are still 7 points clear of Arsenal so the CL spot is ours to lose.
Best Team Won

Summed it up perfectly genius. Before the game I had a bad feeling, and even at 2-0 it felt like we hadn't really earned it.
Totally agree about Parker, he's looked below par for a while now. Not surprised he got two yellows, he's been close on too many occasions lately.

No, always excited by it. Always know it will be either an exciting game or an incident filled 90 minutes with lots of talking points.
Enjoy the WUMing and banter around it, it is what football is all about.

Not forgetting that Friedel made some top saves too.
Rosicky was unlucky not to score that flick on, RVP shouldnt have kicked it past the post and Friedel made another couple good saves from his shots.
