Weren't you a man utd fan before you went to London?

madrid fan, but yes my fav epl team before my london trip was utd. no real basis for supporting utd at the time except that my bro did.

 

favorite player even before going to london , above all else was always didier drogba. rate him higher than messi/ronaldo/pele/maradona whoever. one player i would have given my right leg to see play.

 

last year not only did i get the chance to see drogba play, saw him score vs napoli, barca, valencia, spurs, liverpool, etc. plus i was living right next to the stadium, all mates around were cfc fans. learnt the songs, went to the bars, sat on the coaches etc, really got into the spirit of what it means to be an actual fan living in london.

 

hence am now a cfc fan :)

Coquelin and Giroud threw their shirts in the crowd after 4-4 thinking there will be a replay at Emirates. Had to get the shirts back from the fans for the extra time. :lol:

They actually thought they had won on away goals... Now I know why they say footballers aren't the brightest!! :lol:

Curious, very curious.

 

I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, but what if all the stats are right? Are they all coincidences?

 

Same here. The stats regarding the refs are for all to see. It can't be a coincidence all the time. I am not saying there is a direct deliberate fixing, that would be ludicrous, but there is some kind of pressure indeed. It also doesn't help that neither of other top teams' manager holds the kind of aura that fergusen does. Jose had it for a while and so did Benitez occasionally but I can't see rdm, Mancini or wenger destroying fergie in a press conference.

 

Just wish the old scot retires already.

how would it look if I collate all the decisions that went against us in the last one decade and post in on my personal blog ? Same as this. United conceding less penalties is not a conspiracy, its a testament to how organized our defense was in the last few years.

 

I do agree that we get some decision in favor of us, tell me one top club across all the major leagues who doesnt get a decision in their favor.

the only manager who did win the mind games with Fergie(at times) is Mou. Benitez tried and we all know how it ended :rofl:

ridiculous match still cant believe what I saw last night ... need to stop watching Arsenal games for a while :( . Why the fk we defend like headless chickens I will never know :(

 

Only defenders that are good enough are Sagna and Vermaelen for you guys I think.

 

And here we have Michael Dawson as last choice centre back :P
