I live in Loughborough (who Arsenal's biggest home win AND biggest away loss is to, did y'know?), in Leicestershire so naturally I have a lot of mates who support them. Never felt any connection to them, infact I don't like them at all really. Prefer Forest actually.

Err yes we know.

Have you seen Sky Sports this afternoon? They are wanking over this! Hahahha! The Sky hype. 😆

They went through Rooney's top goals since 2004/05 (including his goal against us at Emirates last season).

They then showed some Sunday league team trying to recreate the goal. A guy crossed in some nice loopy balls and a guy tried to bicycle kick it. Most of them were missed completely (they couldn't even get their legs that high) before eventually a guy smashed one in. There was no opposition. Just a crosser, a shooter and a keeper.

Then they showed the league team claiming it to be the best goal of the season.

Then they showed Rooney's goal.

Then they spoke to the United fans outside the stadium.

Doesn't surprise me at all. But no I didn't watch it, and I never do. For the same reason I watched all the games on MOTD last night, minus the United-City game. I'm just not interested in what they have to say about it, it's utter biased bullshit, and I don't need them to tell me how I should think or feel about something I've seen for myself.

Wasn't directed at you. Knew you'd know you old fart.

In other news, I watched the Bayern game at the weekend, first time I've seen them properly all season. They look pretty tasty, especially going forward. I think they've finally got all their best players back fit. I know Robben gets slated a bit but he's an absolute handful, scored 2 belters and set up another. He's in a different class to someone like Nani imo.

here's the goals and highlights;

Oh, and Dzeko looks like a busted flush to me. He'll probably do alright over here, but early evidence suggests that he's not gonna be anything special imo. He's got no power, acceleration, pace or agility and he's not got a touch of genius to make for what he's missing. He's unbelievably poderous on the ball. Actualy looks quite similar to how Bendtner should/could be in a couple of years time; big, fairly physical, technically decent, a bit of a handful.

Now watch him score 30 league goals next season...

I don't think you'll find anyone who doubts Robben's ability when he's on it. His dribbling at times is second only to Messi. Still remember his first season for Chelsea. He was something else.

Trouble is he's incredibly selfish and he seems a prick too. It's hard to like him and give him credit.

I think even ManU fans would admit he's in a completely different class to Nani.

Claudius

Nani, though, has come a long way and is the best player on the team at the top of our league, so no small feat there.

That said, Robben is top-tier quality. With him, Muller and Gomez, Bayern boast some impresisve attacking talent.

Ricky1985

Berbatov has probably been their best player, actually, thinking about it, Vidic has been comfortably their best. Nani's a good player though, just along way off Robben's level. A really long way.

Captain

Nani has been their best player mate, he makes everything positive that they do happen.

Ricky1985

Vidic was being called Superman and touted as a potential winner of the PFA award, only a few weeks ago.

Captain

It was unwarranted then and it is unwarranted now.

Claudius

I think Vidic has played at a high enough level to be considered a lock for PFA team of the year alongside Kompany.

Nani has been United's attacking inspiration this season, and is probably their best candidate for PFA player of the year.

Berbatov has had a lovely season, but his campaign will be killed by the simple fact that he rides the pine in big games. Not a good advert for player of the year

Tony Montana

Can Nasri make it? We'll have to win the league with him scoring and assisting like hell.

As you can no doubt guess, I agree, I'm just saying lots of people would tell yuo Vidic has been their best performer.

I don't know why I chirp in with these comments about Man United, I really couldn't give a toss about them or their players.

Claudius

Because you're a fotball fan, Ricky, and you can't get enough

The only Man Utd player I've ever actually liked.

This guy's incredible.

Captain

And he wasn't even treated at the Milan lab.

The weird thing for me is that even though I recognize his ability as a footballer and the quality of his character, I can never really like him simply due to THAT goal he scored against us. Every time I see the fool, I remember the run and... damn him!
