FA Cup 5th Round, 16.2.08, Manchester United 4 – 0 Arsenal
The last thing we wanted to do after losing to City in the Munich memorial derby day was take on Arsenal in the FA Cup, but that’s what we had to do. They were our main competition for the title that season and had lead from the start.
However, with twenty minutes played it was pretty much game over, thanks to goals from Rooney and Fletcher, but Nani put it beyond doubt just before half time. Emmanuel Eboue then made a horrendous challenge on Patrice Evra and was sent off four minutes after the restart. With 15 minutes to go Fletcher scored his second of the game to make it 4-0 and we started to wonder just how embarrassing the scoreline was going to get. It wasn’t another goal that embarrassed Arsenal though but the entertainment from Nani, as he played keepy-uppy on the pitch whilst the Arsenal players chased after him, swiping at him. William Gallas (who was just one week away from his very public and very embarrassing breakdown) then confronted Nani and kicked him. After watchig footage after the game, the FA deemed there to be nothing wrong with an Arsenal player kicking one of ours. Hmm. Wenger then went crying to press about Nani, claiming he “teased” and “humiliated” them. I’d argue the Arsenal players did a brilliant job of humiliating themselves that day, but whatever.
Following this game, Arsenal went on to draw their next four league matches before losing to Chelsea. In contrast, we went on to win our next six league games and three months after our brilliant FA Cup victory over Arsenal we were Champions of England and Europe.
Man Utd News 24/7
and he shits on Fabregas, ANDERSON SON SON SON………….
Ando, Nani as well, was superb in this match.
Carry on taking swipes at arsenal with your videos. Can’t wait till saturday now
“They didn’t like it, they didn’t like this” Shut up Motson you cunt. They played with Arsenal that day and if they weren’t good enough it ain’t Nani or United’s problem. Belting performance from the lads . Fletch won the ball on the half way line for his first and started and finished the move. Great headers and Nani’s was superb. I actually hope Ando gets a chance this weekend to see how he plays with Fletch. Would be a shame to miss Carrick though. Anderson, Fletch and Nani were excellent that day in particular, lets hope for more of the same on Saturday tea time to put the gooners in their rightful place.
Off topic – I see the Judas has scored for the bitters. He did that stupid fucking gesture with his hands behind his ears again?
CunTevez just did the ear cup celebration. He needs to die and he needs to die now. Fucking hate him more than anything imaginable. HATE him.
He only scores in League Cup though….
I really thought Anderson and Nani, by now, would be like the greatest 2 players ever, they need to pull their fingers out, though I still love them, their potential is amazing.
Goonerrr – The topic is FAVOURITE ARSENAL GAMES. This is a United site so the topic makes sense. Why come on here? News Now brought you here per chance?
HATE HIM
King Eric – if a link appears on Arsenal NewsNow they HAVE to click it! Did you not know?
It would seem that way Scott!
@ MUFC the Religion , Pure myth about someone in Ando’s pocket and tinted glass is blocking judgement so bad, it is embarassing.
Where was ando when @ emirates last season Neville closed Cesc down but he turned him to make weighted pass for Nasri to score?
Where was Ando is 07/08 season when Cesc & Hleb dominated the match for 65 minutes until match-turning debatable penalty was given?
Where was Ando is the reverse match of that season @ emirates when he controlled the ball in your box & tucked it away past 2 guys on the line?
Ando needs to step up his game or he will be sold, fans cant wait for potential forever.
Payback time. No Ronaldo to save you this time.
Brum. Wigan. Burnley. Easy start on paper. But actually…
All the United supporters I know where talking about Eduardo today…But we all know that others FALL TO THE TURF MOOR
Where was Ando you ask jamie?? He was on the title winning team, you muppet.
is someone actually claiming that Anderson has dominated anything bar bad hair?
hahahaha… now that you’ve banked 80m to chip away at your £800m debt, its game over lads. Your ownership has scored an Owen goal. And you all know it.
Anyway. Its not losing to us you should be worried about. Its the blue lot across town who are always on the back page of the MEN making all the news in town. Tevez this. Big money that.
Where is Ronaldo now? Living the dream?
Why no signings this summer? Did Douglas Costa too much?
hahahaha
good to be a goonah…..is that the burnley that beat you last season? hahahahahaha
2 nill was it?
Yep. Burnley beat our kids. Ave age 19. In the Karling Kup. You remember the Carling Cup dont you? Ronaldo and Rooney play every tie. Even when you lose to Coventry… at home… hahaha
But Burnley in the league? Cmon now. Thats a three point banker mate. You know that.
wheres adebayor and toure??????????
fabregas wants out deep down hahahahahahahahahahhaha
no signings?? ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? valenica? owen? obertan?
who did u sign againnnn? hahahhahaha
“Ronaldo and Rooney play every tie”
so rooney played in the carling cup final last season did he??????????????
ha ha just coz united lose a game against burnley goona scum give it big, you know what man utd shuda done dived like Eduardo, wait no thts plain cheating!!!
small club arsenal cant afford no1…..
so desperate they want viera back haahhahahahahhahahaahahahahahaha
Does signing Owen free from Newcastle’s relgated bench really a signing? Cmon now… more an Owen goal. Walcott got into the England side from our reserves. So will Wilshere. Owen is finished. You know this.
Signing Valencia from Wigan is a mockery to your club. You know that.
Fabregas wants out deep down? hehe. I suppose the Ronaldo situation would have you believe something like that. But actually, we dont sell players we want. We dont need the money you see.
We arent £800m in debt with nothing to show for it. Lets face it, Ronaldo saw that he was on a sinking ship and wanted out. Tevez too. Vidic knows this. He will leave next summer. Anderson too.
But you have Nani. hehe. I guarantee you that you will always have Nani.
owen will probally score more than van rapist and the diving cunt eduardo and play less games….
walcott? shite, if he wasnt fast he wouldnt be a pro…valenica > walcott by a mile…..lennon > walcott….phillips > walcott…….give you wilshere though, his quality.
yep were in debt but still winning loads of trophies……what you trophies you been winning of late? nope ronaldo just wanted to follow his dream just like fabregas does…..tevez, were going to mis his 5 goals, honest….
vidic??? come out the otehr day and said how much his commited to the best team in the world.
nani?????? ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that quality winger who plays for united? who tore arsenal apart not long ago?
@Good to be a GOONAH!!
I’d settle down there lad, you’re goonah give yourself an ulcer. Like you have anything over us over the past 20 years. You went one season unbeaten, but that only won you the title. We lost games in 98-99 but came out of it with The Treble.
You oughtta concern yourself with what’s gonna happen at the New Library once not-so-Fab-regas leaves – you’ll see RVP, Nasri and Rosicky leave too.
Enjoy season number 5 without silverware and the scrap for 4th place.
And Vieira is several years younger than…
VDS…Giggs… Nevlar… Scholes… etc etc… all of whom are past it.
You know this.
But dont worry. There is more chance of Roy Keane appearing on Man U TV slating O’Shea and Fletcher (again) than Vieira returning to Arsenal.
nope…..whinger was on ssn the other day saying how he might bring viera back…….hahahahahahah desperateeeeeee.
corrrrrrr i love winning the leauge all the time and getting to champions leauge finalsssssss…….u got used to 4th place yet?
several years younger????????
oshea? the one who scored that lovely goal v arsenal last season? yeah i know the one….flecther????? he the one who had fabregas in his pocket last season?
vds past it but just won keeper of the year????? hahahaha
giggs??????? erm what was that award he won last season?
past it hahahahahah
Keano > Vieira
Remember Bergkamp taking ‘ol Patty away from big bully Roy in the tunnel. Aww, it looked like Vieira was gonna cry. He got owned that game (not the only one) – quality goal by O’Shea, and a top piss-take celebration to boot.
dont need to spend 80 million when we got a squad that will piss the leauge again…..easy peasyyyy
im sure the best player in the leauge, rooney, and the magical berbatov can cover them goals….easy peasyyyyy
“best player is sold before he reaches his prime”
did rooney leave???????? who he go 2?
adebayor and toure wanting to leave arsenal cause they know there going out the top 4, replaced by spurs…easy peasy
Ronaldo will never have a better season than 07-08. We’ve seen the best of him and made a huge profit – not just the transfer fee, but the money brought in by what the team won in his time here and merchandising. A great deal all round.
The Gooner boy is clearly worried about his club, so decides to concentrate on ours. Common condition.
Guys – enjoying the discussion re: the 4 – 0 cup game. As a gooner do agree that Nani was excellent that day – and was seriously assisted by the fact that neither first choice full backs played that day (Hoyte in particular was dismal).
cleveleys gooner
tell sagna to fake a injury for saturday…..nanis going to emmbarse him lol
Vivva Nani
Running down the wing
hear united sing
vivva naniiiiiiiiiiiiii
ohh and clichy…………valenicaaaaaaaaaaa
i love our wingers..there quality
tell gibbs not to slip this time though..lol
I remember that game we lost 4-0 was harsh on us, but football is a funny ole game. I think MUTD had it`s great season gone and SAF leaving soon. Mourinho will mostly likely take charge and counter attacking football will change imo. I think we`ll edge it this weekend, win or lose I hope it`s a cracker of a match.
Im expecting to hear ( again )”Fergie, 66, said: “Sometimes you have to hold your hands up and say that, if you’re going to be beaten, make sure it is against a team that plays football.
OFF Topic ! selling Greedybayor and Toure was the best for our squad.Just like Tevez who normally plays 30 minutes is not worth 25million
saf wont be leaving anytime soon gunned down
“Just like Tevez who normally plays 30 minutes is not worth 25million”
agreed.
4 years is soon for us patient gooners lol
@ Gunned_down, we got Ole training the reserves teaching them to play the United way, and once Sir Alex leaves Ole is going to step up like Pep did at Barca and win us another Treble.
Prediction for the starting XI
Foster
O´Shea Vidic Evans Evra
Valencia Carrick Fletcher Nani
Berba Rooney
…
Park, Anderson and Owen will come on
it will be a tough one, but i have faith in my team
@GoodtobeaGOONAH
Promise me you’ll come to this site come the end of the season. I ASSURE you United are going to be pissing on arsenal kindergarden. No way in hell are you going to get anywehre this season. Take a lesson from arshavin “we need a bigger squad or else” piss taker see you come seasons end peace out cheers mate

Good to be a GOONAH!! – You silly cunt. Shock you have nothing constructive to say and therefore bring up the issue of debt. You may laugh at Nani, but at least he’s won things at our club. What the fuck have your players won in the last 4 years?? As usual you ejaculate over your early season form, but you will fall away by the half way stage.
jack
they’ll get viera in 2 seasons on a free
I remeber this game not only because of the scorline but because off an unseen United dominance in a game between the top teams! Was pure class that!
Good morning everyone.
That was a great game.Hope nani can do the same on Saturday.We played fearlessly without Ronny and that made people like nani and fletch express themselves more and give such performances.
ghtt looking a gangster in that video.what is that thing you have got on your eye?
Jesus Christ, they win a couple of games and they think they’re gonna win the league? Fuckin deluded cunts. Bring on the arse and watch it get fucked! Stupid muthafuckas.
Looks like sagna and clichy were saved for saturday..but they will still be humiliated by Nani and Valencia.
Fletcher will run the rule in midfield whether Fabregas plays or not. Any news on who will play alongside Fletch? Would like to see wounded Ando`s reaction on the field.He`s got to perform to the best of his ability and that could be THE BIG BONUS for us against arsenal.
Wenger`s side play brilliant and very entertaining football…just like Man Utd..the only difference is that we keep winning titles and collecting trophies and they don`t !!!
We tend to think that Adebayor was greedy because he chose City`s wages ahead of Champions league football-the dream of all players
The truth is that he realised that Arsenal won`t be winning the title again. At best they can only fight for the 3rd position with liverpool. The simple and plain truth.
KungFuKick – I thought Sagna and Clichy both played on Wednesday.
When I look back, I think nani singlehandedly destroyed Gavin hoytes arsenal career.
OH ! I forgot that arsenal had to play Celtic…. to qualify for the Champions League!!! Really! Ok then they are not fresh legs for tomorrow.
