Yes - the same way pushing your wife at the beach and smashing her in the face with a brick at home are both showing her contempt, one done in public and the other in private, that still doesn't change the fact that one was much worse than the other.
Don't be silly just because Moyes gets his tits in the whirler over the implication of the 'c' word doesn't mean you have to.
 
It's quite simple.

One is swearing at the referee and one is questioning his integrity by suggesting he had possibly been bribed.

Even the thickest Arsenal supporter would probably see the difference.
 
If any of the GIF men about could get the Skrtel rape of Evans in the FA Cup game (it happened on exactly 68 minutes and there's a beaut of a replay on 77:50), that'd be great, we could see exactly what alastair defines as not a penalty, and then compare it to some of the Arsenal ones which apparently were, such as Nasri v Spurs or Bendtner v Huddersfield.

To say Arsenal would not be top 4 without refs is nonsense but it IS fair to say they've had a huge huge amount of ref decisions in their favor this year.
 
Christ, give it a rest, I already admitted I was having a bit of fun with Comical Alistair.

No need for you to shit your pants too.

Me give it a rest? You're the one who made a ridiculous comment, I'm entitled to laugh at your idiocy. If you were joking well then fair enough, but don't get on pete's back for WUMing when you've just done the same thing.

You're a bit slow today, that was the point.

Arsenal fans, following the lead of their hero peterstorey, have been throwing round some pretty stupid unsubstantiated garbage in this thread and others.

The problem being he's constantly on the WUM, talking shit on purpose, whereas the rest of you take him and yourselves seriously.

That was just a little opportunity for some of you to look in the mirror.
 
That Skrtel incident was one of them which wasn't bad enough to be given a penalty. In the box, it takes a clear foul for a penalty to be awarded, such is the severity of the punishment - ie a probable goal. No pen for me.

Wow, given you've defended the award of most of Arsenal's penalties, you'd surely have to admit that's a big shout. Add to that an even more obvious trip on Giggs in the same game and I think we can disregard your claim that we were handed our place in the FA Cup.

I might add, the award of a penalty to Arsenal for a supposed foul on Bendtner was at least as soft as the one given for the Berbatov foul.

I see your point. I genuinely don't even remember the Giggs trip, so you may be right on that. I don't remember the commentators making a big deal of it, but given that one of them was Jim Beglin, that's inevitable.

I was just taking the mickey out of Kraftwerker when I said that you would be out of the cup if it wasn't for refs. The reality is that you had two shouts, both of which were 50/50s, so you may have deserved 1 penalty in the game.

Yup something like Nasri vs Spurs, Bendtner vs Huddersfield, (someone) vs Wigan at the Emirates, the "foul" vs Blackpool, Chamakh vs Brum are just some of the examples of "clear fouls" due to which penalties were awarded :wenger:

When it comes to United not getting penalties they should, when do they ever?
 
RVP was clipped for the free kick, blatantly.
1:48
Birmingham 0 - Arsenal 3 longer highlights Video
Of the 14 [Arsenal penalties], only 2 of them you can say should not have been given.
1:04


3:47


0:45


0:01


0:54 onwards - there's two of 'em.


3:03, arguably.


I can't find a YouTube clip of the most obvious one - Chamakh v Birmingham.

Here's a streaming video of it, look at the Nasri (1-1) clip:

Hmm.
 
What a brilliant post that is :lol:

So so many joke penalties awarded this season.
 
It's all very well posting videos of them, it doesn't mean they weren't penalties. Posting that one v Braga for example is hilarious. It's the most blatant penalty you'll ever see.
 
You have no idea of the meaning of "blatant"

You were pretty sure RvP's free kick was the most "blatant" foul you'll see last night as well.

That foul on Evans is a more obvious penalty than most penalties given this season.

Tugging the shirt then grabbing him and then use the leg for a judo finish. There's no way you can foul someone more without actually kicking or punching them.
 
Are all of these blind semi retarded Gooners on here because even their own boards ban them for being so one sided and biased.
 
It's pretty obvious our rivals aren't interested in fair refereeing.

They want referees who give us nothing, whilst at the same time giving soft penalties and decisions to their own teams.

I guess they see it as a way to even things up in their favour. A 'fair' league where the top team gets nothing from referees, whilst those below benefit.

Yes, dispute one of the penalties (which is, by the way, far from blatant, he starts to go down way before contact. Which is what Gooners were complaining about for the Almunia on Rooney pen in August '09), ignoring the several decisions which everyone can see you're wrong about. Is that you Arsène?
 
Most of you guys wouldn't admit that Berbatov dived to 'win' the pen v Liverpool so you can't be taken seriously.
 
Arsenal & its fans moaning again? Shock horror, they've never done that before.
 
Standards must be slipping if a post containing loads of youtube videos that actually proves the contradictory point is evidence of poster of the year quality.

This is the irony. All I'm saying is that we haven't received significantly more help from officials this year than United. Then you get people saying we wouldn't be top 4 without them. And I'm deemed the moaner?

For feck sake Pete.....on your recent for you claiming ANYONE can no be taken seriously is insane.

instead of the sensible, well informed poster we used to know we have been left with this awful one sided Arsene esque blind caricature of idiot supporters like your mate Comincal Ali, has the thought of not being good enough to take the title even in a season when the other contenders are so poor pushed you totally over the edge?
 
No idea why any Arsenal supporter would want to spend hour after hour after hour on a United forum.

Actually they add to the flavor of the forum. A perspective other than the one's being constantly repeated is always welcome.

Sometimes they're way too biased towards their won teams, but once in a while they are correct too. Word out to all the opposition fans on here!. Huzzah!

On the topic though, It i think can be a fair assumption that diving is part and parcel of the game these days, Arsenal aren't the angels they are shown to be by the posters over here, but neither are we. We have dived, though it isn't encouraged, it has to be accepted that we've had our fair share of actors on the team.

That said, Berbatov's pen against Poo wasn't a dive since there was contact. I'm sure storey could've come up with better examples than that.

That was a stonewall pen. You don't have a fecking clue, as most LeArse fans.

oh and :lol: @ the way you got owned by Feeky.
This clips just show me why I hate Arsenal with such a passion, you cheating scum.

You're an Arsenal fan, of course you're a moaner. Arsenal have received more penalties than any other club this season. I'm not going to dissect each & every decision, mainly because i can't be arsed.

On the face of it, its easy to see why people have the view that Arsenal have had a lot of referee decisions go their way, simply on the amount of spot kicks given. However you have to convert them, so i'm not convinced of the argument of Arsenal wouldn't be top 4 without them.

What annoys me somewhat is the lack of integrity from their club captain. I'd expect the line of ref's being paid off from the RAWK inbreds, not Fibreglass.
