cant believe it but it is true, Arsenal has the most mean defence! Keep it up gooners


Two words.STEVE BOULD.You must have seen the tall heavily built man exercising with the team before the start of yesterday's game.Despite his age, (50 years old),he takes to the pitch to exercise with the ease of a 15 year old.Applause Applause Applause

Comparing our Game to Chealsea, i don't think blaming Carrick will do here. Chealses were walloped with their 2 signing of the season playing! City too had a difficult hosting of Southampton with the same scoreline at Etihad. Blame Carrick? No. I'm among United fans who don't like Carrick, more so for his sideways and back-ward passes but the whole team was just below par yesterday including Kagawa. Our players just need to step up their game. Our CD also needs some consistency and pace.




This is very true. The whole team was down, hata yule aliyefunga mabao matatu pia yeye alikuwa chini.

There is a mistaken belief that if you score a goal then you are on form.

I watched the curtain raiser to our match and you dont have to be an asenane fan to realise that Diaby, though he didnt score, was easily their best player on the pitch.

Having said that, it must be emphasised that players require a minimum of FIVE competitive matches to regain fitness at the start of the season.



I totally agree @Mwenza but my beef with Carrick has been long standing and well documented - if I was Fergie I would save some of these guys for that Capital cup (former Carling cup) instead of wasting space on the field. I also agree that Diaby was a player transformed on Sunday - if he plays like that and remains healthy Arsenal can be very hopeful.

Anyway, ni mapema sana but I'm very critical of the team I support, we cannot afford slip ups this early. We have already lost one game, losing another just leaves us with a margin of losing only 3 or at most 4 other games if we are expecting to reclaim the title from City. That's a hard ask in 35 games!

There was a time we hit AS Roma 7-0 at OT in a CL match and guess what? Carrick was the most outstanding player on the night. This Carrick man was also the man of the match in a game against Chelsea last season. His biggest asset is his commitment on the pitch despite his limited technical awareness.That probably explains why SAF prefers to give him the role of breaking-up play.

On sunday Scholes appeared to be quite influential when he came on. However when you are brought on on the 70th minute, you are likely to be very visible compared to the other fatigued players.

I remember those matches and those performances - but we need him to do that often if not consistently...not twice a season. Imagine if you had a striker who scored 3 hattricks a season but never scored again...Cleverley had a superior game when we played against Fulham. Yesterday he was rightly subbed. Nani has the most potential in the team but blows hot and cold every season, he is by far the most irritating player next to Carrick (in my eyes). Ashley Young seems to be following in his footsteps.Valencia's reliability is unquestionable, he only has few off days, which is expected in football. That's my biggest concern with some of these players

SAF need to start getting his midfiled and strikers pairing correct otherwise he will continue fielding clueless teams like yesterday.

Another area of concern is arial balls. Man u struggled last season on this and its is already evident that they have issues especially in dead ball scenarios mostly corners.

@King G fair play- we were poor on the night ( we started really sloppily) and made to pay heavily, however I doubt Man U would have performed any better.

Mikel and Lampard just did not turn up on the night and Falcao did the finishing however the damage was done by their midfielders. Anyway we can live with that still 2 points ahead of everybody!!

Well done Robin V perfect, however Man U will not win this league, that you can take to they bank. I have never ranked Cleverly/ Carrick any where and this is the guys you expect to dictate play against Carzola/Diaby, Hazard/Mata, Dembele/Dempsey,Toure/Silva, Ben Arfa/Cabaye you now begin to see the task Ahead of Man U and I reiterate games will be won my midfielders something Man U lacks for now.

I am very Interested to see how Ferguson will play Rooney when He gets back? And once again this will not be the new York-Cole partnerships football has evolved one striker is preferred nowadays.

The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.

This is SAF FOR YOU;


Dimitar Berbatov criticises Man Utd's Sir Alex Ferguson

Dimitar Berbatov has criticised Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson for the way he was treated during his final season at the club.

The striker, 31, made only 12 Premier League appearances for United in 2011-12 and moved to Fulham last week.

"I said goodbye to the people who deserve it, I couldn't say goodbye to Ferguson," said the Bulgarian.

"I know he's the boss but he has lost, to some extent, my respect because of the way he treated me."

Why is he whinning yet he was useless in the field? I wonder whether he will even shine at Fulham. If Fulham's game on sat is anything to go by then he looks like an average player. He has lost the magic touch that made him the play maker at Spurs. I can bet if he was the sole stricker in United game against Saints last Sunday United would have lost!!

Yawn! Have we been down this road before? Um, let's see. City won the league last season on goal difference but equal on points with Man United. The previous season, who were the champions? Who were the midfielders?Shame on you Shame on you Shame on you

My friend things have changed, SAF made one of the best transfers he has made in a while... just pray that RVP and Kagawa don't get injured coz if they are... Man U is sunk!
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
