    your team lost, desf trying to wind you up knowing it be easy, you replied, desf tries again.

    tbh i think your right evra did make a meal of it as he was barely touched so i was letting you put your poitn accross as imo you were right.

    TBH I think you're making more of a meal out of it than Evra.

    Firstly it's Xavi6 and secondly you're arguing over nothing.

    How does Saha manage to miss the most simple chances? The mind boggles.

    Well I suppose it makes a difference from last weeks game eh :p

    Worst performance by Arsenal in years. Its a disgrace that none of the team seemed to have any fire in their bellies at all. As an Arsenal fan it seemed to me they were all thinking about staying fit for the the Champions League game midweek.

    Disgusted.

    what a disaster of a match :(

    It certainly proves Lehman is past it though! Great keeper in his day but his reflexes are completely f*ked. The first, second and fourth goals could have been saved by a goal keeper like Shay Given. For the fourth goal, he was actually in the f*king goal when he tried to save the ball! The ball had crossed the line before he even touched it!

    WHAT!?!?

    Lehmann was Arsenal's ONLY good player! Even the BBC said he did well.

    look at the 1st 2nd and 4th goals again, you would expect your keeper to save them, good play to create the chance but all them went tru him rather than by him.

    Would expect my clubs keeper to save those.

    What are you on about??

    Can't blame Lehman.

    I'd have Lehman any day over given.

    how about watch the match instead of listening to those muppets. Two headers passed him at his near post ffs. They're not easy saves but he should have made them. Rooney's goal would have taken a very good save but again one that a keeper in good form would have made. He was slow (relative to other keepers) to get his hands up. Oh I almost forgot he didn't even COME OUT to collect the cross for Fletcher's first cross!!!

    +1 to that.

    How you could blame the goalie for 3 out of 4 goals is just stupid.

    Wan the United. Here's hoping we avoid the mighty Barnsley in the next round.

    Arsenal were hopeless tonight. I don't think Rooney would have played as well if Ronaldo was playing though.

    Worst I have seen us play in a long time, though to be honest we didn't seem to give a **** about the match, it will be a different story in the league match.

    dont think you understand, a professional keeper should save every shot thats within his reach. Lehman conceded 3 that went past him in his standing space 1st one a faster hand up would saved it, 2nd a hand right, 4th one left hand.


    that doesnt mean united got lucky its entirely plausible had he saved them utd would have scored them from other chances.

    but a pro keeper should save every shot thats within his reach even the really hard shots.

    That's a point - are they more concerned with Milan than an FA cup match? Possibly. But bragging rights still count and for me if you show up you should play.
