Bias or no bias, the scoreline didn't do our performance justice. Looking at the way we played (combined with Newcastle's poor performance) we should have won by at least three goals. Only some superb goalkeeping by Shay Given prevented that from being the case.
While it might not spark a return to our top form, it's definitely the best performance I've seen from us since our unbeaten run came to an end.
They might as well have been growing crops in the Arsenal half 2nd half, they wouldn't have been disturbed at all.
Neither of them are idiots! I think it's great to see them fight a battle of words. It shows that they are obviously very passionate about what they do and adds a bit more personality to the game.
BTW I'm a Man Utd fan
Attractive football brings personality to the game, petty squabbles bring it into disrepute.
Okay, point taken. But don't you think that things like this make football just a little more interesting. It certainly adds to the "spectacle" of it all. And besides, I really don't think that a few "heated words" exchanged between two passionate managers brings the game into disrepute. Things like racism and drug scandals do but not a passionate rivalry. At least it shows how much they care.
O.K, I accept that it shows they are passionate, but I don't think that adds to the "spectacle" of the game. If we got to watch them go at it Celebrity Deathmatch style on the touchline on Saturday that will add to the spectacle. At first it was interesting to see how they attempted to goad one another but now it's verging on the pathetic what with pizza throwing and petty cheating jibes, it is now the premierships equivalent of a playground squabble. It's a shame really because we are talking about the country's top two (for now) coaches.
By the way, I'm glad someone actually took this thread back to its original discussion. Football threads have a tendency to go wildly off topic.
It's petty, pathetic, helping Chelsea to the Premiership, but you've got to laugh when they have their 'heated' discussions.
I do understand that the fued has dragged on a BIT and I can also see how one would grow tiresome of it. I also accept that it does make two of the top managers look a bit unprofessional. However, I thought that "pizza" incident was hilarious. It may not have done much for footballs image, but I I found it pretty darn amusing!
Yeah the pizza thing was funny, and the allegation that Arsene Wenger came running at Fergie waving his arms like a crazy man. I won't deny it made me chuckle.
