The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

[Matt]

Is it really beneficial to boo one of your own players who's just coming on as a sub? I mean, I know Arshavin is bad but...

[Dan]

I don't think they booed Arshavin as such, more the decision to replace Ox.

[Summers]

They were boo'ing the fact Ox went off. : /

[Gazz]

You ever noticed on BBC live text, this happens a lot...

1732: GOALFLASH Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd (Robin van Persie)

1730: United seem to have weathered the storm, and are definitely sniffing around for a second goal.

[Summers]

Definitely should have took Walcott off. Whiplash.

[Lineker]

"PUT THE FUCKING BALL OUT!!"

But Walcott seems ok; that's good.

[Matt]

They were boo'ing the fact Ox went off. : /

There were more boos after they announced Arshavin. They booed as Ox walked off, then cheered his name, then booed Arshavin's.

Also I thought Walcott was knocked out for a while there.

[MJB]

Fucking great goal!

[Lineker]

WELBECK!!!!!!

lol, Arshavin.

[Dan]

Wow Valencia just danced round Arshavin.

[The Future]

Welbeck! yes!

[MJB]

Welbeck deserved that goal, played very well up top and was unlucky earlier.

[Lineker]

Park on for Ramsey.

[MJB]

What is Mertesacker actually on the pitch for? He can't run and even with his height, he doesn't win many headers

All over. 2-1 and a great win for United.

[Lineker]

Rooney injured right at the death there?

[MJB]

Yeah hell of a whack from Song. Rooney, Nani and Jones all injured today, hope none of them are too serious though

[Starvinho]

Hopefully Rooney is ok, think it was just a knock. Good win for us that today after Arsenal gave us a very good game.

[Matt]

What is Mertesacker actually on the pitch for? He can't run and even with his height, he doesn't win many headers

All over. 2-1 and a great win for United.

Why are half of the Arsenal squad footballers for that matter. None of their defenders can defend with the exception of Vermaalen and occasionally Koscielny, Szchezny excepted their goalkeepers can't catch, Walcott can't do anything except run, Arshavin can't do anything and I'm pretty sure Gervinho got bought because he did well in that game at the World Cup (I think against Brazil).

[Sam]

So Manchester 5 North London 3 in the end. Good win, important not to drop behind City. Now for Liverpool in the cup next week. Hope we can stop getting players injured so frequently though.

[Lineker]

Manchester vs. North London was 18-6 on aggregate
