Comments on: Arsenal 1 – 3 United http://www.thedevilinme.co.uk/2009/05/07/arsenal-1-3-united/ Football analysis by Mark Payne Tue, 27 Dec 2011 13:56:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jono http://www.thedevilinme.co.uk/2009/05/07/arsenal-1-3-united/comment-page-1/#comment-2145 Jono Thu, 07 May 2009 20:29:12 +0000 http://www.thedevilinme.co.uk/?p=200#comment-2145 Breathtaking! Just blew the Arse away. Wonderful to watch and even better to watch it the second time! But in truth our opponents went very limp very quickly and we will find Barca a tougher bunch. And probably Hull away. Was the turning Macheda's winner against Villa, or our pen against Spurs? Who knows but they are on fire again and I am looking to every game at the moment. You may well be right about where the Ribery stories are coming from. Whatever the reason, Ronaldo has now decided he wants his place in history after all - how better to do than than by outshining Messi in the CL final?? Can't wait!!! Joke corner: Arse: For sale, 57,000 red and white flags, nearly new, only used for 7 minutes ... Chelski: new satnav puts Chelsea two minutes from Rome, the new Chelsea sponsors are Lastminute.com, etc etc. Breathtaking! Just blew the Arse away.

Barca are missing Alves - a cheat but a quite sensational player, Abidal - in the same boat as Fletch, should not have been sent off, and Marquez - a real leader, Captain of Mexico and good in the air - for the final. This means Puyol will play which is great news for United as he is comfortably the most overrated defender in Europe. We are favourites, but with Henry, Messi and Eto'o this is most certainly a team who can score against us. Here's hoping we have a great match between the two best teams in Europe this season. Karma, is a bitch by the way. Chelsea cheated Barca in 2005, and have Ashley Cole on their books so - what goes around comes around!

Say what you will about Ronaldo, when he's on, he's on! It’s very true about SAF, he’s truly a wiley old fox, isn’t he?

Say what you will about Ronaldo, when he’s on, he’s on!

Having said that I agree with the rest of your views, despite looking perky for the first five mins Arsenel were wounded after the first goal. I think we are missing a little more experience on field. The Fletcher card was nonsenese. Although the ref might have followed the letter of the law, I don't think many would have denied him a go at the final for a challenge like that - especially given the game was over. “Welcome back Cristiano Ronaldo” – If you like a guy who seems to be most effective when he falls over, he is a cheat!
