REFLECTIONS

And there we have it!!!! What a kick on the ARSE!

There was a lot of cribbing going on (from my friend, mainly) in the run up to this match about how the referees have been unfair towards Arsenal, but they had their fair share today and had no excuse for the loss.

To be fair, Arsenal dominated the match for long periods during the first half, but somehow managed not to score in the first half. While Arsene Wenger might have managed to breed some fantastic young blood, they lack the experience when it comes to crunch situations. No doubt most of their current crop will achieve greatness some day, but not with the current setup which is so lacking in experience. William Gallas should stop wearing the captain’s armband, Gilberto Silva looked more of a leader than Gallas.

The first goal by Man United once again exposed Arsenal’s sudden explicable weakness immediately after scoring a goal. Ronaldo managed to stay cool under pressure and score on the second attempt.

The cross by Evra to Ronaldo was amazing, materializing out of nowhere and a testament to the understanding of these players. Ferdinand was not at his best today, but van Der Sar was there to cover for it. Ferguson’s confidence in him despite a few blunders in the past seems to be paying off.

The goal by Hargreaves was an absolute beauty. The world (wit the possible exception of Hargreaves and Ronaldo ) was expecting Ronaldo to take the kick but, out of nowhere Hargreaves took the kick and was celebrating even before the ball touched the back of the net.

With the schedule remaining, I think even Chelsea will have a difficult time catching up. Hope we get a double this season!!!

Check out the video, I wonder why Adebayor is celebrating so much after the goal, is it because he managed to sneak in a goal with his hand ? Or is it because the referee was kind enough to allow the goal ? We might never know

With due respect, WHO CARES?
