Arsenal youngster, Jack Wilshere, has claimed that teams are scared of going to the Emirates because of the football Arsenal play. After boring, boring City put 11 men behind the ball all night this week, Wilshere reckons they need to learn to break teams down.
“We just have to learn to break teams down,” said Jack. “City’s approach was a credit to us and the way we play. Teams come here and they are scared and want to defend. There are going to be a lot of teams who come here and defend and we have to learn to break them down.”
The problem is, 7 teams in the league have a better home record than Arsenal, with United, Chelsea, Spurs, Sunderland, City, Bolt and even Liverpool doing better. Arsenal have lost 3 of their 10 games and have conceded 11 goals, suggesting their opponents don’t have as much problem breaking them down.
This week, Arsenal lost a further two points on United, after our win and their draw, although Jack reckons they are a point closer to catching us.
“We have got a point towards catching them and they have still got to come here, so it’s still really open. When they come here, we can beat them.”
In our past six meetings, we have beaten them five times, with the only draw coming in the penultimate game of the 08-09 season when we just needed the point to win the league.
Of course Arsenal can beat us at the Emirates this season, but then, of course we can beat them too. If our last two games there are anything to go by, with us beating them 3-1 on both occasions, it is Arsenal who should be scared.
Man Utd News 24/7
Seriously mate, you do seem to have an unhealthy obsession with Arsenal at the moment! It seems every time one of our players makes a comment, you are instantly on your laptop writing an article about it. This is supposed to be a Utd website with Utd news, and I’m sure the majority of your fans dont want to read about what an arsenal player has said? He wasn’t even talking directly about Utd, and was certainly not slagging you off in any way. He’s just stating what everyone else already knows, which is that when the big teams play at home, they will need to work hard to break down opposition defences. Where is the harm in that and where is the catalyst that made you want to write another piece concerning one of our players?
Spot on Scott, their arrogance is not just in fans and their manager it runs down in players as well.
well said scott!
Gee you know what…?Now that I’ve thought about it,may be we are scared…….
* falls on the ground laughing …*
what arrogance? teams do come to the emirates, old trafford etc and try to defend. no one is denying that or criticising it. Jack is just saying that it’s up to us to learn to break them down – please tell me where the arrogance is in that?
surely the only bit of arrogance here is from you lot, claiming you’d be “falling on ground laughing” and “it is Arsenal who should be scared” at the very thought that perhaps we may be able to give you a game this year
Every year is different so he can say every year they are going to beat us and might well be right a couple of times. So nothing to comment on imo.
ahhhh diddums! Is nasty mean ol’ Scott picking on wee Jack, bless his little cotton footy socks!
It is relevant:
1. Arsenal are a title “rival”, hence the subject the post was filed under
2. He does mention United in the second quote, in a way that warrants a comment/response
Lastly, why are you concerned about the content of a United blog? By showing interest and posting you are simply doing pretty much the same thing that are accusing STR of.
Shit article..
It appears one may have taken things too seriously around here…hmm perhaps someone who was held too much or not enough as a child I wonder…?
Fair enough, you have gotten the results against us in recent years, but implying that the game at the Emirates is already won by United might just be a dangerus assumption. Don’t forget that united’s form hasn’t been as good as in recent years, despite them leading with several points. I agree that our home form hasn’t been up to scratch, but to suggest we’re easy pushovers with little chance of winning the game is, in fact, arrogant.
While Jackie-boy might exaggerate when saying that teams are scared of playing arsenal, it’s not far from the truth when you look at the way they come to the emirates, which is similar to the way teams play when they play at Old Trafford.
You lead the league by some distance at the moment, but the race is far from over. If Arsenal finally can find some consistency in the coming games, the title race might just become more exciting and tense than United-supporters would be comfortable with.
someone should tell this kid to shut up he spouts constant bullshit at all hours and is one of the more arrogant players around and he’s only been in Arsenals senior squad for a few months, the kid needs to get his head out of his ass and realize he’s an average player before he goes all El-Hadji Diouf and completes his transformation to Prince Douchebag, fuck the little overrated cunt and fuck Arsenal while we’re at it
As a Gooner myself, whenever I see a link to this site (NewsNow) I always go as I am always looking forward to what the United fan’s have to say on an Arsenal related story but…..
What on earth does this have to do with Man U? Why criticise something Wilshere was saying generally (about weaker teams you would think)? When United come to the Emirates they don’t defend all out but most of the smaller teams do and he was just making the point of breaking them down. Anything wrong with that?
Criticise City, they were awful in their tactic (but it worked so fair play), but Wilshere??
Show a bit of class………
Dzeko move to Juventus collapsed because of the IL Callcio regulations and he was Milan fan growing up. I think the next chapter for this is how it feels to be city.
Becks to Spurs on a 2 month loan deal should be done by Sunday. First game could be against us
people should just ignore wilshere’s comments….its just a clear sign that him and arsenal are running scared of us…..a classic case of the ‘we’re scared of you so, we claim it’s you who scared’ situation.
United tore Arsenal to shreds a month ago (arsenal had to revert to a kick and foul tactic), infact every time we play them, we out-play them, Arsenal aint as good as they think they are and can’t go toe-to-toe with the likes of United when it comes to playing pure football.
United will win the league no sweat, and do so unbeaten.
Fuck off to dreamland JIMBO!!! Where’s the arrogance u say?? Are you fucking daft??
“We have got a point towards catching them and they have still got to come here, so it’s still really open. When they come here, we can beat them.”
First of all jack says, we have got a point towards catching them, but in actual fact it’s 2 dropped points against us coz we won u pillock!!
Then he goes on to say WE CAN BEAT THEM?? Is that not arrogance?? maybe if he tried to say, we will give it a good go to try and beat them, it is acceptable and looks like he actually has a humble bone in his body!! To me that is arrogance!! To you lot, just coz it’s your player who said it, it does not mean arrogance?? What a load of rubbish!!
it seems jackie boy likes the media
Scott you’re TERRIFIC!!!
@ jimbo
Scott has an unhealthy obsession with Arsenal; yet here you are fighting the good fight on a United blog???
Bit of a pot/kettle/black situation going on here if you ask me.
Jimbo,I think it’s best you leave gracefully before things get messy…take care and ummm…good luck with that sick dynamic.
Oh and please close the door on the way out.
Lefty2Gunz – What does this have to do with United? Jack is talking about being ‘a point closer’ to United (even though you’re not, you’re 2 points further away) and beating United at the Emirates. I thought it was fairly obvious what that had to do with United, given that he is talking about United.
Gunner – “implying that the game at the Emirates is already won by United”. Sorry, where was that implied? I said: Of course Arsenal can beat us at the Emirates this season, but then, of course we can beat them too.
jimbo – This is a Manchester United blog. If your players talk about Manchester United, there’s a possibility of it featuring on this Manchester United blog. My obsession is Manchester United. I don’t ask Arsenal players to keep talking about us. There is no harm in him doing that. Can you point to the part in the article where I’ve criticised Jack? Where I’ve said he’s out of order? All I’ve done is point out we’ve got less reason to be scared than Arsenal do and that he’s wrong when he claims you’re a point closer to catching us, because you’re 2 points further away after your draw. Why are you getting your knickers in a twist soft lad?
remember having some good debates with some arsenal fans earlier this season in the forum, be nice to see them back here not the dickhead supporters like jimbo
Jumbo, the arrogance is assuming teams that come to Emirates are “scared”. When an undoubtedly talented but overhyped player from a team that has been choking in crucial games for the past 5 years or so says that teams are scared of coming to your ground, I think that is arrogance. His words should be called out and challenged.
Also, this is a site for United supporters, not a site which just documents the club per se. If the blog wants to do an article having a go one of our rivals, why the hell not? As if you lot refrain from talking about Spurs. St Totteringham Day? Come on!
I didnt realise this was a City blog. As Jack was clearly indicating teams come to the emirates to defend and disturb Arsenals rythm and that they need to learn to break defences down. Most recently this has been the sky blues. So I’m guessing that as you have found such a problem with his utterings that you must indeed be a closet blue.
that or you really do see us as your closest rivals. You choose, either way, you look weak.
Red Typhoon: If you consider the “we can beat them” statement to be arrogant, you are deluded. That’s not arrogance; he is not saying we WILL beat them, he says we CAN beat them, which means that he thinks Arsenal are capable of doing so. If you really think that arsenal don’t have the capability of playing well and winning against united at home, then you are the arrogant one.
Scott the red: you didn’t imply it, but the early comments below did go a long way in doing so
red typhoon – i dont think saying “we can beat them” is arrogant. if he’d said “we WILL beat them” then maybe i’d agree
Teej J – Not really as this is the first time i’ve come on, yet this site mentions us frequently
Natural Red – grow up mate
GG – I’m happy to have a decent debate, but there’s not really much to talk about from this article!
Spot on Scott The Red! Jimbo is gayyyyy!
Excellent piece Scott
@jimbo
shut the fuck off and enjoy the piece. We love everything here… Cunts
I don’t get why Arse fans come on a United blog? The last thing I’d wanna do would be to read a rivals blog. Idiots.
Think the chances are he was talking about City due to the fact he said it shortly after the game against tham and the fact they came and did not get out of there own half.I guess he could have been directing it at United though!
http://tribalfootball.com/articles/arshavin-says-arsenal-now-defending-champions-1369371
It’s interesting ow his teammate considers LeArse failed to close the gap on us )) hilarious.
mannings – cos we’re all football fans and one thing football fans enjoy is the banter you can have with other fans
aaramz – “shut the fuck off” – sorry what does that mean?
also, im really looking forward to the liverpool game! I read that Keegan, Mcmanaman et al are backing Woy by saying that everything will be sunshiney and great when they beat us. WHEN THEY BEAT US! I’d dearly love to see our boys shut that lot up. Especially that number 8. Camera kissing, badge grabbing (and penalty missing, so funny) SB.
Scott, I’m loving it! Whats the point in being top of the table and having such brilliant results happen to your rivals, if you can’t rub it in a bit?
scott the red – i didn’t say you were criticising him. I just said you seem to always comment on whenever an arsenal player mentions anything relating to utd
scott the red – sorry what was that mate? give me a chance, i am at work!
Yaa Jimbo, the fact that you choose to be here and read the written article says something about yourself. Its typical of our rival fans to peep into our sites, be it facebook and all. I for one would care less about what you guys are writing in any of your sites. It seems that most rival fans are just being contented if their voices are heard in our sites. If you go to our facebook Man Utd group page, you’ll read critical comments from them.Imagine, coming to ones’ home, being a guest and critically commenting abuse in our page….GGMU – LUHG- Win, Lose, Draw, we are UNITED…there’s only ONE UNITED, MAN that UNITES…MAN UNITED….
go do your f*cking work then!
zeddy – the reason you dont come on our sites is because we dont write pieces about you so you’d never come across them. This site frequently ends up on arsenal news now due to it often mentioning arsenal
jimbo – Well, surely it’s up to me to decide what I think readers of RoM want to read or not. I post United related news. Why does that bother you so much? I can’t imagine for the life of me clicking on any Arsenal blog on NewsNow because they’ve commented on what a United player said about them. I honestly couldn’t care less what an Arsenal fan thinks of a United player. But this a blog for United news, and if an Arsenal player claims that his team are now a point closer to United (arf!) then I might just blog about it. It’s odd that you would spend any time on here taking an objection to that. Why do you care?
JacksWillie4hire you are a palooka.
“We just have to learn to break teams down” – applies to all teams everywhere.
“City’s approach” – same approach almost every time city plays these days.
“teams… are scared” – poncy little wankers are the least fearsome in the league.
Jimbo
We are obsessed with United. When we are spoken about by dirty little sicko’s that obsession becomes unhealthy. Indications are septic angry boils like you that spring up all over our blog.
scott the red – interesting how you’ve realised that i never said you criticised him and now ignored that! Course it’s up to you, but if you dont want arsenal fans here, you can ensure it doesn;t come up on newsnow feeds…. but my guess is you’re happy to get the extra hits from us?
doesn’t bother me so much, just found it weird when there’s so many other things you can try to wind us up about!
oh and dont believe everything you read, newspapers report rnadom things and having listened to the actual interview, he does not say we are one point closer to you, he says we are one point better off than we were in our own position
breaking down teams goes with the territory if your a top team with title ambitions,by his statement wilshere is admitting the gunners aren’t good enough.just want to point out one more thing to mr wilshere city played 10 men behind the ball against utd AT HOME.
Really strange how all the United fans on here who dont care what we say and wouldn’t look at one of our blogs have so much to say about what we have written.They are so above it all,i wish i could be like them.
Of topic, Keano has been sacked.
jimbo: cunt
Wayne – i’d prob agree with you, which dispels any of the “arrogance” that people are saying wilshere is.
Do your research jack u little nobhead!
Ah, the old newsnow excuse. Never gets old does it?
@matt you’re coming onto our blog you fucking donkey,of course we’re going to comment on things written,thats what people do react to other peoples comments.
Were obsessed with arsenal, yet arsenal fans are reading a united blog? Do one you mugs.
Commenting on trolls and trolling are two completely different things…
Man u is in pole position to take the title.
They’ve got the players who’s been there, done that & understands what needs to be done in the final stretch. They’ve also got a manager who can affect the outcome of a game in more ways than one.
The only way they might lose the plot now is by laughing at their rivals instead of focusing on their own game.
But it’s comforting to see how a teenager’s casual comment can ruffle some seasoned feathers.
ITS HIS BLOG. UNITED’S BLOG. He and we have the right to whatever we wanna say here. Weird thing is after all that high horse shit spews, you are the ones here, wrong persons at exactly the wrong places.
Oh well, its Arsenal fans we’re talking bout. Champions of being at the wrong table position in a very wrong time.
Newsnow may be their Pied Piper, but they’re still a plague of rats.
Raizzen – and the beauty of the internet is we also have the right to post whatever we want, wherever we want. If you want it exclusively for members, create a site where you need to sign up. otherwise quite your whingeing.
Mosquitoes are really nasty and annoying creatures, they wait and wait before tearing into you and make your life a living hell, albeit for minutes until you smash the hell out of them with your newspaper…..
jimbo says “have the right to post whatever we want” which is what Scott did.
Jimbo to be fair m8 i dont see where wilshere is coming from newcastle and west brom have both won at the emirates they certainly showed no fear,
jimbo – You found it weird because there are so many other things I could try to wind you up about? Lol. Are you thick or just pretending to be? What don’t you get? This isn’t about Arsenal fans. This is a Manchester United blog for Manchester United related news. Wilshere incorrectly claiming Arsenal were now 1 point closer to Manchester United is Manchester United related news.
Now, are you done here? Your contribution has been really worthwhile. Thank you for all your insightful and interesting comments.
keep the comments of these mindless fucking twits coming … the only one down in North London with a half a brain is Cesc .. Think little jack was the player he was talking about being scared.
No one ever said that the game at The Emirates is already won – fuck, the title is yours to lose, because, again, you have the easiest schedule in the second half of the season.
@jimbo: what aaramz was saying is: Go fuck yourself and piss off back to your own boring blogs. Understand better now, dick for brains?
I think the fact they they are a ‘a point closer’ is hilarious!!! he must be learning from arsene.
reporter : “but jack, the point against city means you actually fall two points further behind
utd in the title race”
jack: “that makes no sence, how come”
reporter: “well jack, utd won their match against stoke”
jacks mind races as he tries to comprehend the arithmetical riddle the shrewd reporter has so cunningly laid before him. he takes a moment before his mind eases, as he has come up with the perfect measured responce.
jack “I didnt see it”
By the time Arsenal play United, I doubt you’ll still be 7 points clear. You’ve got more ‘big games’ than we do. Chelsea could quite conceivably take 6 points off of you!
Wilshere has every right to think we can beat you. We can.
ha ha stupid deformed body-shaped moron
should point out city plays like that home and away mancini is a shit manager when everton went down to 10 men and city were losing he still didn’t change his formation,wilshere using city is a very bad example
We can’t control what Scott posts right? So it’s up to him. And there’s nothing wrong talking about an gunner on a United website. When Pat said what he did, obviously he would have been entirely slagged off on other websites, which of course, i wouldn’t visit because i obviously have better things to do than to visit gunners’ blogs whatsoever.
And to what Wilshere said: It’s funny how HE’S obsessed over us ain’t he? As well as that nasri. Their ONLY aim is to beat us. Correct me if it’s wrong, but i do rarely hear our lads being obsessed and talking in particular about beating a specific team. Of course, we talk about the race, and how we’re glad we get 3 points etc. but we’re not that shallow as those gunners.
Dom – yes, as well as you drawing against teams like Wigan and losing at home to Brom.
He’s 100% right. City & ManU are boring their way to the top and would never go skill v skill against Arsenal. They would get slaughtered! So they play all their holding players, defend on the edge of their box and play for a counter-attack goal. Regardless if it has been a success, it still a fear.
If Audley Harrison had thrown one punch and knocked out David Haye recently it wouldn’t have changed the fact that he was scared to go toe-to-toe. Tactics don’t disguise fear!
Scaredy scaredy Mancs!
Keep boring the world with your lucky dire football & cheque-book success.
Everybody ‘thinks’ they can beat each other. What actually matters is who does it. There’s no point in indulging in premature talk of “We can beat United”-which technically and obviously makes the gunners obsessed with us.
Can’t quite believe I’ve just sat and read the comment trail!
Right,, ‘Jimbo’… The real problem lies with Mr Wilshere, the boy has only just come into the side, and has been over-hyped because he is English, and has made a few mistakes in an interview. Whenever he has played in an Arsenal team against us he has been shit on. Therefore it is hard for us to take anything he says seriously.
Secondly, United is a lot bigger than any club in England, therefore the rivals are written about in blogs, we care more than just about are results, it’s a bigger picture. I understand if you don’t get this as I doubt Arsenal blogs have any space to write anything other than how Wenger hasn’t won you a trophy in so long?
Anyway, if you do want to come on and read Scott’s articles that’s fine, but don’t start moaning about the content, we didn’t invite you here – an external search got you here.
Chin up mate and we’ll see your boys again soon.
I haven’t seen the entire interview, but does he say that United are scared of coming to the Emirates?
He says “teams”, which could refer to “some teams”.
United have a strong record against us, and having read a great deal of what Jack has said in the past, I cannot see him as a person who winds up the opposition. Specially given the stats that you have given here.
This has everything to do with United – its our title – and one of our longest – rivals.
The other media outlets are filled with idiots that have an ABU mentality, so it comes as a breath of fresh air to read how Scott sees it through his red-tinted spectacles.
Keep ‘em coming, Scott. .
Let’s remind them that its Wenger who brings up United and our players when we are not playing them …
Also, Scott, don’t you think that with all of the garbage from Wenger, and his diluted players, you should do a series like you have for City?
The Gaffer
He has been infected by Arsenic.
Whinger always takes the ar-Scenic route, all pretty with art and churches.
So blinded by his boys beauty he can’t see the finish line.
@ kyle:
Two DMs (Vieira and Petit/Gilberto) and counter attacking used to be our strength, so I wouldn’t slag of that approach to much.
@Dom, in the past 20 odd seasons, United’s form SIGNIFICALLY improves after the festive season. I am not saying that United will improve further, nor saying that the tile in the bag. But come what may, we’ll be around to fight you guys for the title.
And for now, we hold a clear advantage……
Kyle – Hahaha can you all invite us to your little world some time?!
We’ve battered you in every recent game as Scott mentioned, do you not remember Nani ripping three of your boys to pieces at your place? Or Rooney out sprinting your whole team on the break?
Or the fact you committed more fouls and got more bookings than us at OT this season and had one shot on target?!?!
You, Sir, are a cretin.
@kyle do they breed donkeys in north london we’ve beaten you 5 of 6,just fucking shaking in our boots.”scaredy scaredy mancs” what are you 8?
What arrogance?? hes not said anything about United being scared or any other club specifically.. in fact.. and i quote.. “There are going to be a lot of teams who come here and defend and we have to learn to break them down.” and “We have got a point towards catching them and they have still got to come here, so it’s still really open. When they come here, we can beat them.” hmmm.. arrogance.. where exactly.. what he said is true.. sides don’t like coming to the emirates because they know if we click they could get a hammering.. just the same as they know the same thing could happen at old trafford.. what the lad has said is true.. its wide.. you’ve got the Chavs home and away.. spurs away and us away.. what you call arrogance is simply belief.. if he doesnt believe we can beat United then whats the point of turning up.. The only person him seems “scared” is perhaps the auther??!!
06-07
Two losses to LeArse – Top of the league
07-08
Two losses to Shity – Top of the league
08-09
Two losses to Liverpool – Top of the league
So yes, we are scared we might lose to LeArse and have a hell lo of games with big four.
Form extends beyond results, UTDs results are far better than their current performances, while the opposite is true for AFC. UTD are in the driving seat, but few of the London reds I know have the confidence in their current squad that they had two or three years ago. At one point most pundits were backing CFC to run away with it this season, so don’t get to comfy at the top … yet!
wayne
LOL mate, not sure why you even bothered with a response……. Trolls just need to be ignored, they feed on responses
Listen, Kyle. Your team plays some nice football, no question, but you need the mettle that it takes to win when you have not played well – something that United has done for 18/20 games this season. The win against you, we were not at our best, but we still hammered you and you had no answer and offer no resistance. your tactics and approach were poor and very negative.
your manager will not spend the money, so we are to blame for Sir Alex wanting to better our existing squad … that has to be one of the most foolish comments / arguments that you morons make. its getting old real quick.
Matt
You spelt IQ correctly.
Kyle – I take it you didn’t watch the champions league semi final, and last years game at your place. Out played the Arsesnoods just the 3 times mate.
smartalex
Classic lol
willie
doubt he was born then
This is the only Manchester United Blog i know, are there any out there?
Thank you once again Scott for showing all of us Arsenal fans how scared you are of our team.
Some may argue that this site has an unhealthy obsession with AFC, but really its a 50/50 split between hit generation from the large fanbase of Gooners, and pure cold fear.
If you really need to stroke your ego by generating hits from a story that doesnt exist (again) then perhaps its time to seek professional help. I have no doubt that a decent shrink could also sort out the fear which has gripped you so tightly this season.
Arselicked.
Seriously, why the fuck is this Jimbo polluting a UNITED blog?! Stop crying you lemon and get on an Arsenal blog. I’m sure Arsenal blogs have opnions on us so DO ONE, nobody’s arsed! Ah, penny’s dropped. Like the rest of the country, your obsessed with United. Trawling through MUFC blogs to debate, who the fuck do you support?! Just like the chant “YOU ONLY CAME TO SEE UNITED, CAME TO SEE UNIIIIIIIIITED, YOU ONLY CAME TO SEE UNITED!
this can all be summarised in one sentence…. Jack Wilshere is deluded. PERIOD.
GoonerDave
Your team is shrink-wrapped for freezing.
surely the most arrogant comment of all was following Arsenal’s inept performance at OT when Wenger chose to blame the fucking pitch!
you dont have to be scared, you might lose the title fearless.
GoonerDave – When you’re so upset with hit-generating threads, why do you still come here?
scott the pied piper of gooners he’s plays a tune and all the rats come running
This is a non-story and the reactions are over the top, haven’t read all the comments but much ado about nothing. The boy wants his team to do well, so do our lads before any game we always hear our lads saying we can beat the opposition, or evra going on one of his men vs boys jibe (loved that one by the way) still non-issue no need for a fuss
THE GAFFER
That might have been funny if you could spell
All who think Arse fans should go away say I..
I!
@ kyle – We are the top scorers don’t forget, I don’t think anyone could ever accuse United of being boring. Also, it’s a short memory you’ve got. I seem to recall a cup final in 2005 when Le arse didn’t even come out of their 18 yard area so scared they were to go toe to toe with United and that was a team with Viera and Henry in it.
Why are there always so many gooners on our website?! You never get Chelsea fans on here, and even dippers and bitters are in far smaller numbers. Wilshere has shown himself this season to be a shit talker and for some reason thinks he is the shit when he’s accomplished absolutely nothing. Keep your head down, get on with playing and shut the fuck up…or Patrice will have some kind words for you.
The only thing you arsenal fans need to know is who the league leaders are at the minute. Currently the best team in the land. Let’s not bother with who said what and stick to the current facts. Catch us if you can!
@bigphil
Don’t get it either mate. Only them…
And to be honest, Scott has made as many City topics, as he has made Arsenal ones. He hasn’t made many Liverpool topics, but that’s understandable, lol.
scott the red – why did you ignore my bit about what wilshere REALLY said? i take it you’ve not seen the interview? and anyway, trying to claim that this article is all about wilshere saying we are a point closer to you is bollocks. you wrote the headline, which is all about what wilshere said about teams coming to the emirates, not about the 1 point thing.
someone also mentioned you dont ever get Utd playrs commenting on arsenal – really? what about evra? or rio on twitter the other day saying he was desperate for arsenal and city to draw? if that’s not commenting on arsenal i dont know what is. only difference is we dont have blogs dedicated to Utd players comments
Arsenal fans claiming we are obsessed with them? What the hell are they doing on a MANCHESTER UNITED fan page?!?
Rio didn’t commti a crime exactly. Everyone associated to United wanted that game to end as a draw. No harm in admitting that. It’s not like he was watching the game and tweeting how all the decisions go Arsenal’s way like others do…
Evra has wound up Arsenal, no doubt. Like Scott could be doing here. You can either sit around and complain about it, or focus on proving us wrong. Thus far, Arsenal fans and players tend to do the former..
jimbo – don’t be a fucking moron. A quick google search throws up this page that might interest you from less than a month ago:
http://arseblog.com/2010/12/evras-comments-hurt-for-good-reason-saturday-round-up/
jimbo says “we dont have blogs dedicated to Utd players comments”
Which proves there isn’t much being said by Utd players about you.
Jack Willie4hire can’t keep his mouth shut. Put your cock in it and crow.
jimbo – Are you still here? Why do you care? I wasn’t ignoring you, I just don’t spend all my day here. Doesn’t it tell you something if you’re on this blog more frequently than I am?
Wilshere said teams were scared of coming to the Emirates. United have yet to come to the Emirates. I doubt United are scared. Why? Because we’ve absolutely battered you the past two times we’ve played there.
Wilshere said Arsenal were a point closer to United. You’re not. You’re two points further behind. Not the brightest spark, but then, not many footballers are.
It’s not difficult to work out. He made comments related to United. This is a United blog. Why are you having such a hard time understanding that and why do you care? Seriously? I cannot believe you’ve spent all morning coming back here. Bizarre.
Loads of Arsenal blogs popped up on NewsNow when Evra took the piss out of Arsenal. I can honestly tell you I didn’t bother going to one, let alone repeatedly commenting. Why the fuck would I care what some Arsenal fan has to say about Evra?
Now, are you done here? Or are there any other burning (pointless) questions you need answering? Get a life man, seriously. You’re wasting far too much time on this.
Its an inferiority complex:
United > Arsenal
Fergie > Wenger
Anderson > Fabregas
OT > Emirates
M60 > M25

Arsenal fans whinging about people whinging. Thats a little bit rich when ur boss is complaining about the pitch when his oh-so-wonderful-football-playing team lost at OT.
And somebody mentioned skill vs skill and teams would get slaughtered. Yeah I remember that. When Nani ripped apart your defense and cuddled your so called Verminator to submission. Yeah, I remember that slaughter all too well.

These Arsnood fans are as pussy as their team’s play…
Righteous hypocritical TWATS!
STR beat them all with common sence yet they return for more…. the imbosils..
Errrrr Jimbo
More to the fact, what the hell are you (an Arsenal fan) even doing reading and commenting on a United article???
Surely this defeats the objective of your point?
We have heard of plenty of pathetic posts from Arsenal fans claiming how “United get all the ref decisions” and “If it werent for the refs they wouldnt be top” blah blah blah so its pretty clear your lot are have no quarms writing stupid posts blaming luck & decisions for their consistent failings!
I bet if we had a little look now we’d probably find something lurking about regarding United.
I suggest you tell your obsessed fans to talk about their own team instead of us.
What Arsenal have got going for them this season is freedom from expectations. That mindset is generally positive, because it reduces pressure and it encourages enjoyment of the game and playing with flair. The downside of course is that it can allow players to give up. It is not, I think, the ideal mindset for a team chasing the league title, it’s better suited to cup competitions. A team fighting for the league needs to know they can, that they should, win the league. A squad trying to win the league that thinks they probably won’t will not have the same mettle.
Personally I think this league is done. Sure there’s the paperwork and a couple of tricky games to go, but United so far have done enough. I would expect us to win the league if we were five points behind at this point, given our second half of the season boost, so to be clear with games in hand just feels like a bonus. Winning the league is never easy, but it is less difficult by some distance for us.
scott the red – considering you don’t care about us gooners, you’ve spent an awful lot of time replying to all of us…
all i did was ask the question of why you seem to pcik up on everything arsenal players say (even if they’ve been said on twitter which begs the question if you dont care why are you even following them?)
Pas80 – i’m happy to have banter with opposition fans, remember i’m not the one complaining about arsenal fans being here despite writing an article concerning arsenal!
Scott – you say you have every right to comment when an arsenal player mentions Utd, but you think it’;s weird i’m commenting when a Utd fan mentions arsenal – spot the contradiction
Doghouse – i agree with you. Utd always come strong 2nd half of season, and they are usually not top already by now. the fact they are without even breaking sweat is a worry to the rest of us
Yes literally we are terrified of the Arse so much that they need to speak shit and well we – well we can go for the toilet for that
scott – seeing as you’ve written something i believe to be false (having heard the ACTUAL interview rather than reading the paper), what are your thoughts on what wilshere really said about being 1 point better off?
Scott the Red—–Well done, well done!
ARSENAL FANS HAVENT GOT ANY DECENT BLOGS OF THEIR OWN SO THEY COME TO THE NO.1 FOOTBALL BLOG TO SPOUT THEIR DRIVEL. IF ONLY YOUR PLAYERS HAD ANY BALLS YOU MIGHT WIN SOMETHING. BUT THEY DONT.
jimbo
You enjoy being here for the repartee. We enjoy shredding arsnoods and telling them to Fuck Off.
Cruel world.
edlyne – thank you for that amazing contribution.
smartalex – small pleasures eh. you enjoy telling me to “fuck of” on the internet. you hard bastard you
@redsimmo
pardon my ignorance, but by “chips and gravy” do you mean fries with beef gravy?
Fuck me!…….. Jimbo……Let it go Son!
please alert a friend or a neighbour that you need some company, move away from any sharp objects or implements, remove your tie and shoe laces, go to the centre of your living room, assume the lotus position and WAIT
Do you have a girlfriend jimbo?
red simmo – i dont get the point of a blog if people aren’t supposed to comment?! just trying to stir up some friendly rivalry banter on a friday afternoon. nothing viscious!
@ ryan7
LOL
I would assume ‘fries with beef gravy’ to be the cockney understanding of chips and gravy.
But if you order it down there you probably get sauted vivaldi scallops with the jus of an octopus
jimbo
What has being a “hard bastard” got to do with it? Are you leering at me over the fence? Voyeurism is clearly your predilection. You did not respond to my repartee, only when I told you to fuck off. Some opposition fans have lively debates filled with humour and quality contributions. Others, who just gush bile, we tell to fuck off.
@ Jimbo
Banter (verb) to speak to or tease lightly or jokingly
Jimbo (perv) to stalk editor of Man United blog
this is becoming ridiculous
jesus christmas, jimbo! Why don’t you do yourself a favor and leave this MANCHESTER UNITED site, you sock monkey!?
off topic Keano got the sack at Ipswich. Can’t say i’m surprised to be honest, they’ve had a poor time of it lately and if i’m being more honest don’t see Keano as much of a manager, still sad though
this always happens, a fan of another club discovers the blog and is itching to read what the hoo haa is all about, then gets touchy when his team is poked at.. it’s a united fan blog ffs ..WTF were you expecting to find jimbo?
go be a dick somewhere else.
‘Pablo Zabaleta wins red card appeal’ – Yet another example of one rule for United another one for everybody else!

Ben Amos off to Oldham on loan.
Listen you reds
Stop taking the piss out of the Gooners
I say we all go buy snoods to show solidarity with those that are less unfortunate than us
Definition of a snood
1. A small netlike cap worn by women to keep the hair in place.
2. A headband or fillet.
3. A fleshy wrinkled fold of skin that hangs down over a turkey’s beak.
Nasri – take your pick
French Messi my arse!
hey I’m not getting touchy – my original point was that the comments made by the author were incorrect and thought I’d point that out. why did I think any Utd fans would have the brains to enter in to any type of football banter or debate.
Just for future reference, if you really don’t want any Gooners on here, firstly don’t post on arsenal newsnow, and secondly, don’t write about our players. If you’re happy to have us here, then carry on, but don’t get all touchy when we comment
Ajose has apparently signed a contract extension till 2013. Slightly surprised…
You snoods, you lose.
Perhaps Arsenal could have their own news portal called SnoodsNow.
Is everyone bored with this Jittering Jimbo or what? Does anyone give a shit what he has to say? Blaming his rant on banter when he’s clearly upset. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
petemanc – you know people are allowed to ignore me on here? seems weird so many of you are saying you’re bored with me yet still continue to mention me and reply to me. like some sort of infatuation
what’s wrong with our lot today? i know he’s a goon, but he’s not really said anything insulting to us has he? or have i missed something?
It is infact City who are scrared.
scared of loosing.
they showed it against us a wastelands
Infatuation is an “Arsenal fan logged on to a United blog” all afternoon. Need I say more…..
I swear Man United is l’arsenoods fans second team. I mean why do so many come on here so often. I’ll never understand…oh yeah NewsNow – What a load of bollocks. They come on here cos all l;arse blogs are shit seriously l’arse, shit makes sense.
NotoriousRedDevil – don’t you know LeArse blog is top blog in UK ?
Corea, what backs up your claim?
petemanc – it’s not my claim it’s soccerlens)
Cos they say so, riiiiight…….
OK we’ve had our fun and laughs at Wilshere and these “loyal” Arsenal supporters, but let’s stop being like their manager, and focus on the task at hand – Liverpool and the FA Cup.
We need to do better than we have in the last five or six years – two finals, yes, – but being, wrongly, on the losing end of both sucks. This is our competition, and we need to go for No. 12.
Liverpool Preview: Magnify Their Misery
http://www.theunitedreligion.com/2011/01/liverpool-preview-magnify-their-misery.html
Nothing like a blog roll to wipe LeArse.
Joking aside the emirates is definitely one of my favourite stadiums I mean I’ve never been to a ground where the opposition have made the home support leave after 11 minutes! Still thats probably twice as long before they leave their wives and girlfriends in bed on their own!
@ Corea – You sure it was on soccerlens because I DID NOT SEE IT!!!!!
hammons
No Berbatov in your projection. I am sure he will be the first name on the sheet.
Oh look another ‘Arsenal fringe player makes seemingly harmless comment but this blog turns it into a personal insult against United’ entry. What Jack is saying is not aimed at you or your club. Stop thinking all comments are in some way referring to you. If you’re not careful your arrogance will be your downfall, you act like the league is sewn up despite the fact its the most open its been in years. Get your head out your arse.
NotoriousRedDevil – clearly kidding but RoM readers didn’t bother do gather mere 4000 votes. Incredible.

After all the shit spouted last week, about SAF bringing home the 3 players at Preston, It was they, that wanted to come back to United.
willierednut – strangely Ronaldo stayed at OT for 3 years then
Just kidding mate.
Jimbo – fuck off you cunt.
I guess that Amos started against Valencia to show potential loan suitors that he has Sir Alex’s approval. Masterful manipulation by our premier puppeteer.
jimbo – I said I didn’t care what you think. I didn’t say I don’t enjoy making you look stupid. With you though, I don’t need to make you look anything, you do it all for yourself. You’ve spent an ENTIRE day on a Manchester United blog when you say you’re an Arsenal fan. Talk about obsessed. Is this what years and years without a trophy does a person? It’s so sad.
I don’t pick up everything every Arsenal player says on Twitter. Again, both Jack and whatever your reserve keeper is called were talking about Manchester United on Twitter. This is a Manchester United blog. I follow neither. Just saw lots of United fans who I do follow replying to them and taking the piss.
“Waaaa waaa waaaa, United get all the decisions. Waaaa waaa waaa, we lost because of the pitch.” Same old Arsenal.
Who the fuck is this weird little bodied little cunt anyway? Oh thats right the lad that got crunched by Carrick and limped off. Carrick! Hardly fucking Keano. FAR too much to say for himself. Him , Nasri and that other little prick McEichran REALLY do believe the cockney press claims that they are Ingerlunds future aside from that horrible mouthy Nasri. Are they fuck.
Aha. Rio’s tweets-Valencia’s back in the gym!
Scott you claim to spend time on a United blog is obsessive. Yet you seem to ignore actual United news, for example the decision to bring players back on loan from Preston or Keane’s axe at Ipswich, instead you write pointless articles like these. I’m genuinely amazed this blog is as popular as it is because in terms of actual news, writing style and opinion, its shit.
RoM is an excellent source for current Manchester United affairs. This is because the ambience attracts and supports genuine United fanatics. Their love and dedicated interest sources and reflects all current United news.
Thank you Scott the Red.
I think some of you have the wrong expectations of Scott The Red.
I have followed this blog for about 2 years now and have a pretty good sense of what I am going to see
1. Scott making fun of City
2. Scott making fun of other players.
3. A really good pre-match write up
4. A really thin post match analysis.
5. Plenty of United players quotes on how much they love United.
Scott is a fan first. I have long ago accepted that this place is only really valuable to get an insight into the fans perspective, so of course he is going to come across obsessive!
If you want the important team news, solid tactical analysis, and objective opinion there are plenty of other sites to visit…but you are simply going to insane hoping Scott does these things for you because that is not what he wants his blog to be about
Thats fine, some people have to just accept the reality that Scott is a FAN not a journalist or analysts.
jonny – Well there is a simple answer son. Do one.
scott – not been here the entire day, i foolishly made the error of hitting the “notify me” button so everytime someone commented i got an email directing me back here.
thank you and good night you nothern monkey
What I want to know is
Where does Scott get up to between blogs because lately we’ve been left to fend for ourselves on one blog and it takes days for him to come back and get us on another one
Agent STR me thinks
jimbo
Thanks for the warmth – I wonder if it’s sunny in Barcelona ahem in the Emirates ahem London
JIMBO- Even if you won the next 10 leagues in a row without conceding a goal you would still be a smaller club then us, how does that make you feel? Inferior? thought so.
Oh jonny
Then why the fuck are you here for if you think this place is shit?
Au Revoir
Three comments in a row – what a hatrick
(This is now four – I think I’d be as good as Berba then
Fuck it
Have I done a high five
?
Oh yes I have
@smartalex:
I really think that he will Berbatov will only be named to the bench.
If you think about it, he has really played a lot of football over the past 10 days, however, that is only based on if Rooney is fit, which there is a good chance that he is not going to be.
My thinking was having Berba fully-rested for Tottenham, which, to me, the Premier League is more important than the FA Cup. Take that with a grain of salt, though, because I am not English.
hammons
Over here the reference is take it with a “pinch” of salt lol
I just cannot believe that Scott got called a northern monkey by that cockney twit …. Un-fucking-believable! The Arsenal-blog reject has infested ROM will garble and yet he has the audacity to say that?
It is really amazing how people act so fucking tough behind a keyboard and try punching you with letter P. Cunt.
@MG:
Touche!
… Over here, we call it soccer, too. So, yes, we do just about everything ass-backwards.
Football here is something you kick 1% of the time – go figure. Oh, for shits and giggles, we also have the Glazers – cunts.
@Berbatov’s love life
You know something, that’s actually a great way of putting things. You’re really right. First and foremost, Scott writes all this stuff cos he’s a fan, and we fellow fans would enjoy slating other teams. This isn’t a blog for politically correct stuff.
hammons
Yes – Football to Americans is more about throwing or running with the ball!
Quite a big Bears fan myself
King Eric says, Carrick! Hardly fucking Keano. Finally, we agree on something lol. Not such a good manager though, old Roy.
Hammons
Premiership first, agreed.
But this is liverpool. We must knock them off any perch. In fact, we should be waiting for them at their next perch until they become like Hungry Joe (the half-breed american-indian in Catch22).
If Berbatov need’s to rest he will be rested as you say. Else, he plays, he scores, we win.
willie – Ha . No we agree on alot mate, you talk alot of sense with ya one liners! I wasnt slating Carrick as you know I like the lad but it was hardly a crunching Roy tackle was it?
yew
Nah Berbatov has GOTTA start against the vermin. I reckon he has more chance of bagging than Wayne at present. Infact I am a 14 stone 20 a day smoker and I probably have more chance! Only joking, Waynes goals will come now.
@MG:
… some people call American football either Throwball or Rugby For Pansies. Am a Giants fan, myself.
@smartalex:
agreed – liverpool is our, and England’s, biggest derby – no question.
you make a good point that we take it game-by-game, and not looking ahead – because that is how the next five months need to be.
I don’t even give a shit if other blogs write about United. If I do actually bother to visit a link force-fed to me because a fellow United said didn’t summarise what it contained, I wouldn’t even want to reply/comment on that site.
Dumbos coming on here to defend things from their perspective are “simply asking for it”.
Jack, Jimbo, Jonny. Thankfully our John O Shea’s not such a twat.
@Scott The Red … not to forget “Waaaa waaa waaaa, we played the most beautiful football so we were the better team (even the scoreboard says we weren’t)”.
#hammons… yeah, like you I suspect Berba will be rested on Sunday and probably should be. On the other hand, the possibility that he might score another hat-trick against the dippers, this time to dump them out of the cup … well, it may be far-fetched, but it would be delicious if it happened.
BREAKING NEWS
Arsenal fans love united so much that they wear a united shirt below a stinking arsenal shirt.
Seriously arsenal dont have any class but then you cant blame their fans as their second father is WENGER THE VINEGAR .
UNITED FOREVER
odd shaped prick
Fuck you Jack.. You are nothing. Another samir Nasri… Good quality, big mouth. Quality only good, but thinks himself worldclass
You dont deserve shit..
Another crap from EMIRATES TRAINING GROUND
MG hammonds on NPR National Public Radio, I heard an interview with a women who has written 5 volumes on regional colockealisiams ( can’t spell even with spell check) words that mean something in a region in the states. She has gotten to 65,000 words.
Someone on here told me Zib means shit in there home language.
Strange that the first comments were from arses on a Manutd blog ,interesting.
If anything went well ,its an absolute gurantee the same pricks will be in here showing off with all thier venom.
Nothing much wrong with the article,maybe pushing a little but the kid is immature in his comments and same goes for arshavin.
In my humble Manutd education,it seems they are trying mind games like Mr.Evra did.
Except Evra ,bless him, seems to have done it right.
It had its effect did it not?
Now I wud like to tall this arses to leave out blog ,but was reminded some of our guys do go on thier blogs and sound off,so guess just get on with it ,innit?
what a load of cack… can i have my ten minutes back please… fucking gooners
I’m just wondering how we would live down the embarassment of throwing away this massive lead and advantage and have the snood wearing pansies or (God forbid) the chavs overhaul us for the title. Oh, the humanity..
@zibbie I think you meant Colloquialism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloquialism) … ha!
i speak my own language most of the time … between the swear words there is a bit gibberish surrounded by a whole lot of nonsense.
however this next point is none of that – at least i can admit it, and at least i am not fucking dimwit arsenal fan!
@zibbie and hammons … right, and “colloquialisms” are not necessarily individual words, they are often phrases. I doubt very much whether there are 65,000 regionally unique words in the US or anywhere else, but there culd certainly be that many regional phrases. For example, in some parts of London, there’s a phrase that says “when a team plays ‘beautiful football’, the scoreline doesn’t matter”, which is certainly a colloquialism that would strike people who don’t come from there as being very odd.
@StatesideAussie – just curious. Aussie mens Australia isn’t it? so an Australian living in US ?
@Corea … that’s right. I don’t know why, but US immigration still lets us in
Well, some of us, anyway 
In the words of Michael Corleone “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer”
Please don’t turn this blog into mastermind lol.
@stateside: brilliant post about colloquialisms haha!
fucking hell statesideaussie….thinking of going back to Uni to start to dissect your previous prose….lol
Ask Papa Wenger to come back with Plan B…and then we may ..may just be terrified!!
