Utd lead after Arshavin completely fails to deal with a Valencia run.

Great decision there Wenger. The arsenal fans were right, you don't know what you're doing!

Watched the game on Fox. Listening to Piers Morgan after the game almost in tears complaining about Wenger and the Arshavin substitution was pretty damned funny. According to Piers, Arsenal now have lost their chance to win the league. What an optimist to only have just come to that conclusion.

Anything which upsets Piers Morgan is OK with me.

Listening to their fans on 606 & you realise how fickle football is. There is clearly a majority now who feel "thanks for what you've done, but ta-ra".

Amazing

Really?

Can you blame them?

He's taken that club completely off the rails. They will struggle to get a chumps league place let alone win anything.

Should have been gotten rid of last season.

I read somewhere once that some team (I think Sheff U, but I can't remember) turned up for a First Division (Victorian Premiership) game with just 8 players!
Can anybody confirm this, or is it just crap?

But squads can only be of 25.

Is this because so many are under 12 or something ?
