Ox, you beauty!

Nacho, nacho man!

[Matt]

Get in!

1-0 Arsenal, Monreal of all people. Still, I kind of love that Arsenal's full backs aren't afraid to run up & support the strikers like that

[MJB]

Piss poor, that.

Smalling gets dragged to RB, Valencia covers him but then gets in a tangle. Nobody tackles Ox and Di Maria watches it all happen and doesn't react quick enough to get back at Monreal.

Rooney been anonymous so far.

[Thrilla]

Lovely finish from the Nacho Man, ooh yeah!

WAZZA EQUALISES!!!

[MDK]

GAME. ON!

[Matt]

Bollocks. That was nice. Arsenal should have closed them down better though

[Rainiac]

As much as I don't like him/think he's overrated, that was a quality header from Rooney

[MJB]

ROONEY!

Great ball by Di Maria aswell.

[DavidMarrio]

Great ball by Di Maria and good play by Rooney finding the space...but the marking by the centre backs was piss poor.

[Whisper]

2 really nice goals. Poor defending for both though.

[MDK]

Not sure what that marking was all about.

And Welbeck goes down easier than a $3 ho.

[Matt]

Definitely a foul of some description where. Probably a free kick rather than a penalty

[Rainiac]

The BBC pundits seem to think it was a free kick & not a penalty, but I agree, that was clearly a foul

[MJB]

Yeah, first contact outside the box.

Although, not actually sure what the rule is anymore. If the contact continues into the box, is it a penalty, even though it started outside?

[MDK]

Chesney Hawkes flapping like a traffic cone trying to fly

[Rainiac]

Yeah, first contact outside the box.

Although, not actually sure what the rule is anymore. If the contact continues into the box, is it a penalty, even though it started outside?

Honestly, the interpretation of that particular rule seems to depend on whoever the referee is at the time

Also, Rooney almost emulated the Orton Punt on Szczesny there

So you mean its the same as every other rule then?

[Matt]

I'm 99.9999% sure that it's where the foul is made, not where you decide that the foul is bad enough to make you fall to the floor
