Ronaldo's flashed a great chance over and wide, which was basically an open net, and Henry's struck a great free-kick about a yard high and wide of VDS' net. Arsenal have mostly been in United's half and we've been defending quite well, although we have drifted over to the right sometimes, leaving the left hand-side for Arsenal to make attacks, most notably when Pires was released and his shot was saved by Van Der Sar.

Hopefully United can build on the pressure we were starting to apply in the late minutes of the first half

Arsenaaaaaaaaaal arsenaaaaaaaaaaaal

we rock you just think its boring coz we are dominating

christiano missed an absolute sitter

Yes, you are dominating in possesion, but how many real opportunities did you have in that half? Two. One from Pires, and the other was an Hnery freekick. The rest of your possesion has been wasted and stifled out well by United.

SkilledAtTheBall · 03-01-2006, 10:25 PM

lol, my channel said posession was 50% 50%

SkilledAtTheBall · 03-01-2006, 10:27 PM

If you're talking about the handball, if you look closely, it was off Campbell's head.

SkilledAtTheBall · 03-01-2006, 10:46 PM

Idk I didn't see the replay, I was too angry, I hate unfair football.

A LATE WINNER FROM ARSENAL IM TELLING YOU!

RuuDaKingII · 03-01-2006, 10:48 PM

Terrible from Ronaldo, I haven't been impressed. He's had one decent cross all game, and his recent freekick was awful.

Nobody has stood out really, I suppose Neville has played well, and was unlcuky with his chance at a goal.

Jabster uk ll · 03-01-2006, 10:52 PM

A 0-0 draw

But at least we took 1 point from Highbury.

Aguamoose1 · 03-01-2006, 10:52 PM

SkilledAtTheBall · 03-01-2006, 10:53 PM

ArsenalHenryRule · 03-01-2006, 10:54 PM

too bad rooney didn't get a red for handling the ball, then we would have scored off that corner.

0-0. Despite Arsenal's pretty good first half, I'm not satisfied with only one point from this match.

Bye title dreams...

We practically owned the second half. Arsenal had a few chances, one which could've got them a penalty, but other than that we were the better team.

Ruud was not really himself today, can't believe how he missed that volley shot. That chance was better than I first thought.

A player I want to praise though is Darren Fletcher. I'd say he's the Man of the Match. Those who usually give him bad criticism, can't base anything on his performance today, he was terrific.

It was quite clearly not a hand-ball on Rooney, it touched on Campbell's shoulder.

I feel kinda empty at the moment.

And such as running infront of Rooney so that he falls down himself and Rooney getting a yellow card?

Were you watching the same second half? United had the better of the ball and chances in the second half with Arsenal only really threatening when they had a *penalty appeal*. However Arsenal had more of the ball in the first half but gladly didn't create too many chances.

Gutted we drew (not because of Chelsea as that was all but over a while ago) as it means we need pool to at least draw again so not to go above us on points.

probly more than man utd and arsenal combined over 5 seasons

Fifafan730 · 04-01-2006, 12:37 PM

It's not just what Chelsea have spent it's the fact that if they need a new player they can practically go and get anyone they want. No one can compete with them.
