Anyone see Acquilani play today???
He was a useless donkey today, by god he has to improve to show his worth.
Burnley deserved a draw at least today, they played great.
Dont know about all this hype that Chelsea are class, i think they are quite beatable.

He headed the ball back across the goals.
His passing was abysmal, he kicked the ball out of play 3 times.
Also his tracking back was brutal.
For 21 million id be expecting 100 times better

I dont know, there is an awful long way to go like.
And United always finish strong, no matter what squad they have.
I fancy United getting a result tomorrow, Arsenal are so unpredictable

I don't know. Arsenal look a far better team than United at the moment. Arsenal will choke but not until later in the season.

Even if i was a neutral, i would have to disagree with you there.
Arsenal got trounced by Stoke last week, and had a poor draw against Villa in their last game.
Yes, Villa are a good side but they are playing bad the gunners

arsenal flatter to deceive. mentally theyre not up to the challenge. theyll play lovely football and demolish weaker teams, but when it comes to the nitty gritty theyll crumble. theyre too soft
