At least your injury list isn't practically the whole team, to the extent that you're in the relegation zone and have been for three weeks, without a win all season.

Come on Debs, this is an Arse fan we're talking about here, they've have a decade of bitterness against United fans to vent their frustration on

Arsenal aren't about defence, they're about attack. They push that far up the field I'd expect them to leak goals.. they're much better than manu were in there hey dey.. they're such a delight to watch :droooool:

Yeah but with reidy and the fake marlon throwing their toys out, and commons out for three weeks (torn calf) how long will it be before we can't field a team?

If there was ever a time to play the lads from Newcastle, then now is it. Beaumont in CM and Gardner LM. Or at least give Bopp another chance at CM, Jess was garbage again today and Tank is seriously **** (what have the hoofers done to him?).

Kinnear better do something, hopefully get on the phone to Pardew and get the real Marlon back. (I wish he'd shut his gob though).

Daws back in three weeks, host of players to come back in 2-4 weeks but will we have any players left by then?

The physios / fitness coaches need sacking, our players have looked injured all season.

Typical anti-utd rubbish. Get another record.

What, gloryhunters who only show up in the team colours when they win?

Strange, there seems to a LOT of new Arsenal fans about these days....

Every team has their day. Man Utd have had theirs and I am hoping they have another one starting quite soon.

I have followed Man Utd since 1963, so I am unlikely to change now, although I admit Arsenal do play some very attractive football at times.

A lot of the problem about when Man Utd were doing good, is that not many fans of other teams admitted the fact, because a lot of fans of other teams are just so anti Man Utd that they are blinkered in their outlook and wouldn't admit it even if their life depended on it, which I think is quite sad.

What, you really think there are people like that out there?!?!

Next they'll be telling us it's our own fault...

was at the palace game yesterday and i have to admit i think we will get relagated with the lowest points total ever.. not even sure where we can get a draw at the moment let alone a win

we've played all teams down the bottom who we should have beaten but have got one draw and lost the others..

if you look at the football we play and then see Norwich and West Brom it's like watching a third divsion side..

How's ex-Reds Shipperley and Freedman doing?

sherer · 19-09-2004, 13:17

neither of them can get a game at the moment.. ships is fat though and hasn't really got it at this level any more.. freedman still has loads of skill and it's so annoying that he isn't getting any games at the moment.. scored for the reserves in the week though
