That's what I thought. They weren't even hard enough to fight properly, no matter how hard they tried!

One of the biggest scraps of the season and Roy Keane isn't involved. What a Joke!

Cristiano Ronaldo's actions were a lot worse than half of the Arsenal players'.

He ran up and shoved Keown from behind, before running off and hiding behind Ferdinand. Not many Arsenal players actually got physically involved like this.

My point there is not all of the Man United players are saints while the Arsenal players deserve to go to hell, like some people here seem to think.

I'm glad they have been charged, I have alot of respect for Van Nistlerooy at the moment the reason being is they way he was being hit and pushed on Sunday was diabolical and anybody else would of just turned round and hit them but he kept his cool and just walked away.

Respect to Ruud, glad he's not being charged for anything.

Feel a bit sorry for Giggs and Ronaldo, if it was me I'd of stuck up for my team-mate too...

Giggs and Ronaldo? Hm

Maybe the FA saw something we didn't but I thought it was G.Neville in hotwater but anyway at least those thugs from from Arsenal will get what they deserve.

Just seen that Arsehead Wenker has been told to stand up before the FA and justify his comments about Ruud....

He'll probabaly say:

"what comments? I didn't see them..."

I never even see Ronaldo get involved with anything.

What the hell was Giggs supposed to do, he stopped Lauren from getting to Van Nistlerooy.
