    wow a lot more responses here than i was expecting.


    United supporter here and I feel Vidic should have been sent off. It was blatant, and he got lucky.
    We were cheated out of a free kick, but as stated, the official missed the handball call and may have let is slide to even things out.

    This is going to be one amazing weekend in EPL football.


    Not to mention the CL matches this week. Barca v United in the final should be interesting. I just hate watching barca play, it's so boring compared to the english style of play.

    Hopefully it will be a reversal of the result of the 2009 CL Final. fingersx.gif

    I'm an Arsenal fan
    Was at the game against man u
    Vidic was a clear handball, should have been red t clichy was rash on the tackle late on but Owen was already offside.
    Stupid decisions this weekend in the EPL. They need to sort it out

    It was definately a tough call on the vidic handball. The center official had a bad angle but I would've thought the a.r. wudve called it. I saw it at normal speed and it was a tough call. Slow motion it was easy to see. I'm all for keeping the game as simple as possible but this weekend made me want goal line technology after that chelsea goal. And replays after the united v gunners match. That one bad call in the chelsea game could keep tottenham out of the champions league and that ticks me off.

    Glory, Glory Man United Here. Got cheated out of a PK against Arsenal! Take care of Chelsea and all is well!

    Vidic should have been sent off in the first half anyway... would have changed the game (though you got cheated... and we got gifted 2 goals).

    As for Sunday - but if you don't, it's our turn to repeat.
    The Vidic incident was a very grey area. From two different angles it looks like he did touch the ball but from a third angle it looks like he didn't actually touch it. If he did touch it, he was very lucky to get away with it (but then again Maradonna got away with an even more blatant handball in the 1986 World Cup as did Thierry Henry against Ireland in the 2010 World Cup qualifying match :explode: ).

    The Chelsea v Spurs game on Saturday, and, the United v Arsenal game on Sunday both add weight to the argument to have a TMO (Television Match Official) like in rugby.

    The Premiership is going to get very very interesting for the last few games.

    Hopefully it is over on Sunday!! Go MAN U

    My two favorite teams will meet in the UEFA Championship on May 28th. Unless something extraordinary happens, I am prediciting FC Barcelona over Man U.

    Most likely correct. I'm bummed about it. I feel like its going to be a terribly boring game. Barcelona is a great team, but their style is so boring for the fans to watch. Thankfully English football looks nothing like that.

    Pretty sure FC Barcelona will dominate possession and frustrate Man U. It's either going to be really boring or lop-sided. Regardless, though, I will be watching.

    ^^I say they'll dominate possession for sure. The back four is gonna pass the ball back and forth for 70 minutes.

    There's a clip online showing Ronaldo's frustration while playing barca. He's running all over the place trying to get the ball from barca's back line. They have to be the most frustrating team to play.

    How can you say that they are way better to watch than man u. There style is the way football should be played, just because they are in a different league and it's not as intense as the BPL. What I didn't like was all the cheating that happened against R.Madrid . They are the best footballing team on the planet and maybe the best ever.
