He was celebrating a goal and Ferdinand comes over and shoves him - I think he deserves to be a bit pissed of.

When keane got angry Man U fans thought it was funny and passionate. Now Fabregas is showing heart and is fed up of getting kicked about its Sad?!!

Really.

Don't even bother comparing Fabregas and Keane. :) Fabregas might be a technically better player than Keane was, but there are very few players who could lead a team and grab a game by the scruff of its neck like Keane. Btw, it shows how good we are as a team that Arsenal were so jubilant to draw at home against us.
 
I think Arsenal look stronger than us to be honest. They pass better and control the ball better but are not as clinical as us. Their downfall will be the lack of squad depth maybe.

I'm not talking about that incident. That was clearly Rio's fault. I'm saying Fabregas has reacted like that in the past regardless of whose fault it was.

They had much more control of the midfield but thats only because we didnt really have the kind of players to do that ourselves. Carrick or Scholes would have fixed that.

I'm not comparing them both in playing terms. They are totally different anyway.

The point was that it was made a point that Fabregas gets a bit uptight every now and again and how sad it was.

I made the Comparison that Keane was about a million times more aggresive but nobody said it was sad in a derogatory way. Keanes vains used to pop out of his skull and he would spit over referees and opposition players alike with his crazy temper. Let alone breaking a players leg in half to prove a point!

Fabregas gets pissed off when he gets kicked about and so he should. Bigger and stronger players have been kicking him about for a few years now (Like Ferdinands actions above) and he has finally toughened up which has enhanced his game. This is what all pundits have asked about Arsenal - we need to be physically stronger and more passion, now it hapens, Fabreas actions are sad?

I think Fergusons rant for 10 mins (After Evra took our player out) on the touch line abusing the 4th official is alot worse than what fabregas has ever done previously.

All these jibes about how we celebrated afterwards is funny aswell - like Man U wouldn't have done the same?

We stopped a team going top of the league, we stayed top ourselves with a game in hand. We carried on an unbeaten 25 games or something in a row in all competitions (If I'm not mistaken). We got a result that was fully deserved. Why would we not celebrate the way we did?

Anyway - I thought it was a good game. We both played well in our different ways and it was definately a fair result.

I think you're going a bit OTT about Keano. I know he had is red moments, but then so did Vieira and Keown and even Ian Wright. Obviously I cannot condone Keane for his tackle on Haaland but Haaland said on his website that he didn't retire because of Keane's tackle, as his other knee was injured. I don't think what Fabregas did was sad, but he hardly seems to be the most temperamental player in the world does he? But I can understand what you're saying as Ronaldo gets kicked all the time as well but nobody says anything. I thought Arsenal showed great character to level the game late on, shades of Man Utd '99 and Mourinho's Chelsea in them. :)

I agree :) (With most of it :) )
 
Funny how Rio didnt even blink an eye when Fabregas was ranting.Fabregas should learn from Rio and not cry like a little twat every time he gets 'bullied'.If you know you are that good,you should expect to get stick and get some form of gamesmanship from fans and opponents.

Anyways its true like some arsenal fans have said in here,Arsenal snatched a late draw at home against us and celebrated like they wont the league.Its too fruity at this stage to be honest.

What the hell is wrong with you? How does the fact Arsenal are celebrating at the end show that you are a good team???? They had just snatched an equaliser to keep them top of the league from what looked like a defeat and they also maintained their unbeaten record, of course they are going to be celebrating. Whatever, maybe they shouldn't have celebrated, i didn't see that much jumping around or cartwheels to be honest but don't measure how good your team is on something as irrelevant as that:roll:

I never heard any Arsenal fans say we snatched a draw and celebrated like we won the league!! its only been Man U fans.

Very funny how you condone what rio did - which was physical abuse. to Fabregas just shouting back at him. You expect him to get shoved and just go "Oh Well - I will just take that and not say anything", I'm sure Rio would have just left it wouldn't he?! bollucks. Leave the little Genius alone :D

What Rio did was a disgrace and showed him to be a complete prick. The only one crying like a little girl was Rio because he resorted to that. His team couldn't even hold onto a 2-1 lead for 9 minutes.

Anyway I don't want to carry this on - its stupid. I think we both didn't play to our best - but it was an entertaining game and we both came out with a deserved point each - lets stop the bitching :D
 
Right lets move onto wednesday dynamo kiev again and at home which is a good thing considering its my birthday so can enjoy myself and hopefully we'll win and qualify for the knock-out stages!
 
aye he should after that good performance especially the set up to the 2nd goal fawlty manuel never saw it coming

Sorry, I meant how good we played not how good we are as a team. :lol: I was talking about the fact that we came very close to beating Arsenal at the Emirates and it took a goal in injury time to snatch a deserved draw. I'm sure you guys will acknowledge that we played some good football at times as well. I mean I thought our second goal was very neatly worked compared to your scrappy equaliser. :lol: Don't take it to heart mate because it doesn't really bother me how you celebrated. At the end of the day, there was very little that separated us on the pitch, and there is very little that is separating us at the top of the table. :)

Well, I would laugh my head off if we won 9-0 tomorrow, but a win nonetheless would be nice/is realistic. We don't HAVE to win it to go through, so I can't see us going all out, but I think we'd still like the get the group stages out of the way.

Can't see Dynamo doing much to be completely honest.
 
What I don't understand is if someone rips into your family and;

If you are going to get sent off in the one of the biggest games you have ever played in. That is towards the end of your career and you feel you have done your bit in footy history etc and you know for a fact you are going to be sent off.........

If I did that I would;

A) headbut his face and
B) when he went down I would jump on his face or balls with my studs and smash him th fook up....

As opposed to acting the fanny or getting sent off for a 6 ft 2 brick crap house droppin like a sack of spuds over bugger all.

P.S

I got shoved over six times when trying to tackle a 6 foot 4 lad from toxteth- read lamped.

Anyway no one would tackle him cause he was a massive muscle man and a hard kncok and it was sunday footy.

Once he threw me off by shoving me away for the sixth time I jumped in to the ball two footed and he flew up in the air and landed on me..

I won the ball and he cried about it.

Every time I went near him after that he shit out and later on he moaned about me going in to hard....even though I took the bal and not his legs and even though he was 18 stone and landed on me...pussy...just goes to show. :)

About that incident,its actually quite dispicable for both of them and worse for Zizou for reacting but I guess he has his reasons.

About tomorrow night against Dinamo Kiev,I think Sir Alex would rest a few starters like Giggs,Tevez or even Rooney.Carrick,Fletcher and Saha will be pushing for the first XI and its a good time to blood Pique and Simpson for some Euro experience too.

A victory is more than within our reach so,qualification to the next round is inevitable.
 
Seems like our favourite scoreline of the season so far! Hardly broke a sweat.Kiev played negative football for the first half and we still managed to break them down.

Delighted for Pique at his start and his first ever goal for us.7 in 7 for Rooney.A first euro goal for Tevez and thumbs up to Ronaldo for his goal...how many other wingers would still give the fullback a run in the 88th minute with your team already cruising 3 nil? His hunger shows in that goal really which is good for his morale and for the whole team.

Sir Alex still wants to win the group,which is important according to him.We still got Sporting at home and Roma away,not too bad as we can afford to rest players and play our starlets.

Next up,Blackburn at home.Bring on Sparky and his henchmen team.C'Mon United!!!

whoa rooney a goal and assist thats pretty good for an avg striker... sracasim over
 
It isnt all that bad its international break so wehere kinda lucky that he only miss's 3 games for us and one of them is a unimportant champions league game so really 2 games where we miss him, lol anyone wondering why im saying fortunate about international break, i do support England i didnt think england could win anything when they gave Mclaren the job so im pretty much thinking as a United fan until the FA gets a decent manager ATLEAST
