After a fortunate win against WBA, Arsenal go 4 points clear at the top with he table looking like this:

1. Arsenal
2. Chelsea
3. Everton
4. Man Utd

United have lost both of the last two games and we are simply not the team we used to be - at 8 match unbeaten run has meant nothing if we throw it away against average teams - weve only won 2 games away from home this season, with the driver and hunger being lost somewhere along the line.

That is simply poor.

Who said anything about spellings? even mine are crap.

But at least sort the grammer out!

I said right after the game that the better team won on the day, and I still believe that. But it's undeniable that your goals came from our mistakes. You were the better team, but won only because we presented you two relatively easy opportunities. For all your superiority on the day, you scored from two chances which were not of your own making.

We were the better team today (though not amazing), but we only won because of a defensive error, and not a chance of our own making.

Yet ours is fortunate and yours wasn't?

Yea... stupid SR has no spell check :p
And u posted the same thing 3 times.

Sniper I didn't understand a word of that, can you put it in some sort of English at least?

Lol outplayed us indeed but if we are playing too our best, if U couldn't pass or we couldn't pass to each other so easily and fought for every ball and if we won it would of been a well fought victory for us but in my opinion we played with no heart when we played you.
But we bounced back..... happy christmas to the GOONERS!

Woah never done that before

I didn't say "Lucky Arsenal" now did I? or I didn't say "You have no skill" I believe you shall win the league because you are on form and play some great football.

Im saying everyone needs luck in a season and the luck was indeed with you today with the defensive error, WBA made a mistake in defence and Henry capitalised the error and weldone to him - but it was fortunate.

We have also had our fair share of luck most notably against liverpool at anfield - but when you do get that little luck there is no shame in admitting that you have had it.

with regards to Utd and Arsenal - we played you off the park and the reason you made mistakes is because we wouldn't let you pass the ball, the better team won on the day and I for one will not look at that win as fortunate, im surprised at your comment about that.

Oh yeah, I forgot - we have no skill, we're just 'lucky Arsenal'.

A defensive mistake it may have been, but you still need to capitalise. It was only two mistakes by us (poor defensive clearance and poor throw-in) that gave you a 2-0 win, but I did't hear you complaining then! :-)

Well it was a fortunate win, Arsenal had several shots on goal but couldn't score the match was heading for a draw until a defensive mistake which led to an Arsenal win, the luck is with you at the moment.

Don't know about a 'fortunate' win against WBA. A draw may have been fairer, but there was only one team ever likely to *win* the game.

Still... "Up the 'boro!"

One question, though: How long before fans start taking score cards to matches to hold up when RVN dives?
