Originally posted by Alpha CentauriThe difference between the games was the fact that Villa, like many teams, psyched themselves out and fell apart from within against Man Utd. United didn't take apart their defense, their defense fell apart on its own, and then they had to chase the game, and Man Utd then had free reign over a floundering Villa.
You obviously didn't watch the game if you think Villa were in any kind of good shape even prior to the first goal.
A) It's Manchester United. Not Manchester.
B) You clearly are not only selective about the games you watch, but how you watch them. You're a fan of Man Utd more than you're a fan of the Premier League, evidently.
C) You don't even know enough of your team to realise who the legitimate first teamers are. It's no wonder you knee-jerk and retract so often.
"His leg was too high, it was a red card and we can't argue with that.". He also said that his comments on Taylor were rash, heat of the moment, and retracted them. With that said, Diaby's tackle wasn't anywhere near as bad of an angle. Bad tackle, though, and worthy of a red.
It's funny. You're either rampant with inner fury about Arsenal, talking about Arsenal/Tottenham...or Wenger.
Can you possibly be so disappointed in Spurs that you cannot mention them on their own merit?
It's factually true that you hate Spurs and support Arsenal now, I guess. You talk about the team I support more than the team you support. I guess...that can only mean...you support Arsenal. Yep. Ya Krunk'd Gooner. Y.K.G. is your new name.

manchester played better against a team arsenal drew with and theres got to be some bs reason that it happened. aston villa were taken apart by the movement of our attacking players and a couple lucky bounces.
i made one knee jerk comment that was justified i think but a little drastic at the same time. he was playing better than anyone esle in the world and still is i think as far as impact on games consistently, but that doesnt necessarily mean hes the best player in the world, hes just the most effective i guess.
that would be my startng 11 that played yesterday bar the goalkeeper. i dont care whos technically better or whos had some good performances. scholes is better than anderson, carrick is better than hargreaves, giggs is better than nani (nani looks good off the bench, giggs is better starting). that team was the best last year and they're still the best this year, they play better together.
whats the problem with calling manchester united manchester for short? is that taboo in england or something? am i offending you?
what you watched derby v fulham yesterday? im sorry man, i have better things to do with my time. i watch the games that i care about or that i think are going to entertain me. every premier league game isnt going to do that. ive watched every aston villa game, every sunderland game, probably half of the everton games and a few liverpool games that have been televised.
