Not only luck there m8.
Gunners didnt play at their best, but dont take anything away from Hull city. Their keeper was absolutely amazing. And they defended with discipline.
That header off the top bar was only bad luck for Gunners. But there was well, keeper had the goal covered and ball came down from the woodwork.
All other shots were either off target or saved brilliantly.
And bother the Hull city goals were top quality.

Complacent, disjointed and no urgency.....recipe for disaster. The players thought it would be a stroll in the park.
It was embarrassing .

And to think that they got Geovanni for free!!What an astute deal that was!!
TO be fair, the top teams wouldve been happy with a point at the Emirates, but to get all 3 there was friggin awesome. I switched off the telly as soon as Arsenal scored saying "Oh here we go again", what a surprise!!
Come back to your feet Arsenal, dont go with the "Young guns" hype
, the team needs to perform throughout the season, and Denilson and Eboue are like WTF,lol.Dont tell me Denilson is a defensive midfielder, shudve started with song.
And Rob Styles that moron, again favoring united, as long as he is the ref one can always be sure of a Man Utd win irrespective of the venue and the opponent.
And we won at Stoke!w00t!Top of the table!Really like the attacking style of play and the freedom given to the fullbacks now (Bosingwa is really coming in to his own now) and getting to see more of Ashley. Mikel is impressing me more and more with each game (Although he does give the ball away sometimes) and Kalou was great. Anelka scored FFS lol and great to see us creating chances till the 90th minute even after being 2-0 up. Still dont understand Belleti being used as a substitute DMF lol..he looked clueless.

You do know that Rob Styles turned down a more than 4(I remember 4) clear cut penalties last season because of all that Rob Styles <3 Man Utd bollocks?
Also, the commentators are .... . It probably wasn't a penalty, but it was FFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAARRRRRR from being as clear cut as they made it out to be. And you lot just ride along with whatever Andy "liverpool" G(r)ay says.

^^ LOL, While I agree with the Andy Gray comment..everytime torres touches the ball he was like ZOMFG torres, what a touch, lol., same with Martin Tyler but atleast he doesnt overdo it like Andy Gray.
But you cant say the same about Brian Marwood and Ian Darke. For as long as ave been watching the EPL (2000/01 season) Marwood is not biased at all and when he says he hasnt seen a worse decision than this and when you see the replay with your own eyes its not hard to see that Ronaldo didnt need to go down that theatrically and styles didnt need to point to the spot at once, LOL I thought he was giving a Bolton freekick. United had to rely on a ref for a win, lets see how many times that is done this season (With Styles at the helm).
Anybody follow Premiera Liga here? Eidur's goal against Betis for goal of the season!!!What a frikkin finish for a 3-2 win!
and that crowd violence during Espanyol match is so trash, 15 minutes of stoppage time due to that and now that idiot Guillem Balague can mouth off anything about his Beloved Espanyol that he wants, frikkin moron.
Edit: LOL

Good lord.
Wait.
Ronaldo penalty
Just look at it carefully, closely, unbiasedly. If you've ever played football, you'll know that was NEVER even 1% a dive.
And there's no denying that the defender got the ball, but he took out Ronaldo REALLY badly, albeit completely unintentionally. You can see their legs tangle. If you don't fall with a tackle like that, you've gotta be the fooking hulk or something.
As for the commentator, I can give you a worse refereeing decision right now. Pedro Mendes, Roy Carroll. Google it if you don't know what I'm talking about.
Don't be naive enough to fall for commentators' sensationalism. They get paid for that crap you know..

Son, take off the red colored glasses please.
And although Ronaldo made a meal of it, I know that the tackle made him fall but he didnt have to go down the way he did, hell even Rooney (Who is more heavily built than him) doesnt go down that badly. Ronaldo play-acted, ref fell for it (It was styles, he just needed a reason lol..), simple as .

Broken left leg thrice

Once during a practice session and twice due to tackles from behind, Defensive Midfielder/Captain for my school and a regular, now dont tell me to scan my certificates and show em to you.

Lolol
About Arsenal's game ; it sucked. no one wanted to fight for the ball, everyone was playing halfheartedly ..even Fabregas
Also dont think Ronaldo's was a dive (he did dive twice in the last match tho) but the decision was a really bad one. The defender's feet were aimed at only the ball and not at Ronaldo's legs.

Honestly it wasnt a penalty. The way Samuel tackled, he was definitely gona take Ronaldo to ground but he did get the ball ( ever so slight touch but he did get the ball) and then Ronaldo went down. Not a penalty. None of the united players including Ronaldo even appealed. Didnt matter in the end as Bolton never really looked like scoring, they missed all the chances they had.
And Gray should be sent to comment on scottish league to be honest
Bad decision, but in the end Bolton were lucky it was only 2-0 and not 4-0 or 5-0.

Btw, it's just co0incidence that Ferguson said the same thing about Styles after the match. I hadn't read/seen his interview until now.Keane 16 said:
"But Rob Styles turned us down four or five times last year so maybe it is payback time. But he still owes us another four.''
