I agree with Ahmed and John Tucker that some of the venom that is posted about Manchester United in the comments. I am a United fan but I am objective enough to realize several things.

1)Arsenal have one of the best young teams in the world and play some amazing football.

2) Liverpool are on the up with such new talents as Torres and Babel.

I also would like to point out the Cesc does seem be developing a nasty habit of rolling around in agony as evidenced against Everton and Chelsea. I think he is a great talent and don’t like to see such things anymore than when Cristiano Ronaldo used to dive for Man U.

Mental Mickey are you bashing United because of the fact that Berbatov seems to be eyeing a move to United? Just wondering since there is no logical reason for all of your anger.

Happy New Year to all.

Well done Shoban Khan i don’t think i’ve ever seen the English language butchered quite like you’ve managed.

Its nothing personal but if you see post 5, then second paragraph applies perfectly to you

I guess that means you do agree on what I said initially(the one about the articles’ content) and perhaps you did (unintentionally though) point out the reason for that also. Thanx.
No more replies from my corner, Wish everyone here and everywhere a HAPPY NEW YEAR

Inquan…what to you want then?Do you want more articles to be written about the ” great arsenal” side?or does it hurt you that there are much more united fans than arsenal?Jeez arsenal fans so bloody annoying.

My point was about the inumerable articles about Man U and how each of them glorify every aspect about the club(which I think is quite puerile for soccerlens), not about how they spend their christmas/new year/thanksgiving….
I just picked two examples to show that. Understood?

& yeah sir alex said its his best squad ever. I think he knows best maybe because he sees them in traning everydai and knows all the behind the scenes stuff we dnt knoe abt. yeah okai maybe we started the season slow but we havent had our full first team at all this season. i mean we havent seen gary nev nd scholes got injured early too..maybe we shud wait nd see how the squad goes then maybe to draw comparisons instead of acting like fools like liverpool_fan and start judging now. People go oh yeah the team of the treble is the best ever…well go look at how many losses united had tht season nd trust me ul b surprised! it was one of the worsts starts for fergie ever dat season and? dat didnt stop him frm winning the treble!! i say skillfuly and techniquely dis is uniteds best team but i guess we can wait nd see after a period of time to say if it was the best team ever in terms of winning stuff or not but then again u have to see dat da competion is much tougher compared to what it was back b4 like chelsea didnt have tht much cash or man city or liverpool nd there wasnt owners who were rich nd yeah i guess u all understand wa im saying lol

whenever you’re going to thrash someone’s team you’re going to get a reaction. So if you have a bunch of manchester united fans – all of them who knew that this was a potential PR disaster – making the best of the party news, and you jump in with a two-footed tackle, so to speak, you’re going to get lashed back at, which is why I made light fun about Arsenal kids being boring.

Is there something to think about? Yea – the party could have been handled better. It’s easy to say that in hindsight that it shouldn’t have happened, but I think if it had been dealt with better then no rape charges would have occurred (I still stick with the ‘boyfriend caught his girl cheating and the girl lied about it’ story). Should the money have been spent somewhere else? Why not, although what gets lost at this point is that many United players are involved in charitable causes.

Rio himself supports worthwhile causes – an anti-racism campaign and a footballing school in africa being just two of them.

If a United fan went to an article celebrating Arsenal’s 4-1 win and pointed out that Fabregas rolled around like a girl, he’d get a lot of shit for it. It works both ways mate.

woah is dat a comment frm liverpool_fan? i havnt heard his shit tlkn for ages! he seemd to go all quite afta united beat liverpoo!! well done liverpool you guys will so win the league wen u cant even beat any top 4 team AT HOME! keep it up & for sure ul have to wait another 17 years for the title lmao yeah united lost vs west ham and? we lost vs them twice last season and look were we ended up..CHAMPIONS mate. Wot do u want frm a side whos manager had a touchline ban nd players like scholes, van der sar, rooney, gary neville, carrick, park, silvestre are unfit or injured? I mean i see liverpoo fans crying over their one player injured, agger lmao imagine they had injuries like united or chelsea and even arsenal! atleast we dnt struggle to beat bottom club derby with our first team out lmao hhahahaa

& re:# 19

wots ur point abt dis chirstmas party? so wa united players cant have a chirstmas party now can they? must they get it approved from fools like u? or shud we get our party plans approved frm arsene wanker? will it satisfy u then? cant they go out togetha once a year nd have a good nite out? yeah maybe they went overboard but ferguson has it under control. dnt u ppl knoe da media by now? all overexaggerated stuff to get readers…DUH! wow arsenal donated their wages and? united players dont just donate just once but they are partners with the UN nd united have UN amasadors like giggs and solskeajr nd fortune was one too (just to name a few) and they went around helping kids out in 3rd world countries and so what? you want us to brag on abt it or sumfing lmao & ul b surprised by the amount arsenal players get paid..i dono why u think its very little..they are a top team in england well atleast they are considered as one, and they shud & most prob do have good amonut of cash for the wages set aside..i mean arsenal isnt like liverpool who have cheap owners and cant afford things like players in the transfer window lmao

I hate to do this, but no choice. Remember Ahmed the article that appeared about Man U’s christmas party plans. When I vehemently thrashed it(the article and the team), you pointed out how the Gunners were celebrating their christmas(by donating their wages of 1 week for charity). It really takes something for a player at Arsenal(who doesnt get paid that much) to do that because its his earning(and which sad to say was made fun of by many HERE at soccerlens). Compare that to splashing out money at whores and dance girls. Is there something to think about? And did the countless Man u fans’ comments here also show us something? And finally what came out of all the partying? A rape-charge(which has not been proved, I know), Rio getting blasted by Fergie and Fergie coming out openly against the players’ party culture.
