Sir Roy Keane: Last kick of the game. 93 minutes. Clichy lets the ball run to the right edge of the box towards the outside line. Doesn't see a striker running in. when he does, puts his leg in and trips the fellow. Penalty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dude the second picture is too graphic...

did u see gallas crying after the match.... he acted like they lost the world cup... so u can imagine the importance of these two points... also the way he was trying to bang the bench when an official stopped him...

i think clichy should ask for police protection from gallas... god knows what would have happened to the young lad after the match in dressing room..

[the_egonomist]

yep, gallas does cry a lot. and the last thing arsenal need is to lose their head.

p.s: another cry baby is ashley cole.

i was so eager to give the analysis, but damn, the UPS just wouldn't start :( , well, what do i say,another terrific performance by united. brilliant co-ordination all around. my highlight of the game, the through-ball by carrick to set up the second goal.carrick is really coming of age. i would have liked to see anderson in the later stages, but i guess 'fultu demolition' was the mantra that the gaffer had in mind.

7th time that united had scored 4 goals or more this season.professional display indeed. just could'nt find any chink in united's armour.

ps- keegan , who's your big daddy now eh?

United were under pressure as Arseanl had dropped points. But then they were against a Newcastle United team which is crap or probably worse. Rooney had excellent game with 2 goals. The second one being vintage Rooney. Ronaldo again was imperious and was taken off because he was on 4 yellows. At times the game was so easy for United, it seemed like a stroll in the park. Nani's crossing was amazing. that fellows come a long way. Carrick and Fletcher were good. Defence extremely sound. Tevez tried too hard and dint have a good game. All in all only positives for United from Manchester.
As far as Newcastle, I fear they may get stuck in the relegation battle. Only 6 points above the drop and with the obvious lack of heart in thier play. That team can't scrap like the relegation teams do nor can they play proper football.
