Is it against Premier League rules to say bad things about Manchester United

The ref

The ref didn’t cost the Arsenal the game so this is not sour grapes. But six yellow cards and sending Arsene Wenger somewhere smacked of a little child in desperate need of attention. The name is Dean, Mike Dean. (scroll down for more about this hero with a whistle)

Eastern wisdom

After the game here in Asia we got words of wisdom from Steve MacMahon and Shebby Singh. And with what did this talking heads enlighten us after the game. Well, they praised Darren Fletcher to the roof because of his work rate and running. They said that for 10 minutes United got at Arsenal. And they said that United showed mettle cos they have more experience.

United scored their first from a pen, their second from an own goal at a free kick. The only other time they really worked Almunia was a piss weak effort from Evra.

Funny, innit. When Arsenal beat Celtic 2-0 up in Glasgow it was because they were lucky with an og and Gallas getting a lucky touch. Arsenal are lucky when it happens, United are experienced.

These people don’t even know what they’re saying half the time. They have their stereotypes they repeat like a mantra and sod the contradictions.

Arsenal had a few free kicks first half that, at Everton, produced goals for Vermaelan and Gallas. This time the delivery was poor and harmless.

Robin van Persie had a shot well saved by Foster, a free kick finger tipped on to the bar and a goal disallowed. Not a bad day at the office for the Dutchman and one that on another day would have seen one of them converted. Three efforts on target. Three more than United yet the ‘pundits’ try and tell us that United won because they were more experienced and ‘better.’

United’s second goal. Great header by Diaby but it was a free header. Had he done his job and just cleared the bloody thing everyone would have moaned about the delivery. But because they scored out come the tired old clichés about that old war horse Giggs and how you can rely on players like him to step up to the plate.

A fine line indeed between hero and zero.

United fans lack of class

And then we come to the scummy mugs who populate Old Trafford singing THAT song about Arsene Wenger. Let’s just say this. Had it been Arsenal fans singing songs about runways, ice and Munich those muppets would have been up in arms as would the media. Big club maybe but their fans certainly lack class.
