We have finished just one game where by the opponent did not have 11 men. This happened when Paul Robinson was sent off when the game was truly over.

Liverpool have played less than 11 men, 8 times this season. All the sending offs came during crucial parts of the game.

We have have received 5 red cards. Liverpool has not gotten a single red card.

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Yeah I noticed that a long tme ago, that people get sent-off against Liverpool an awful lot of the time.

But we are top and I hope we stay there, hopefully we can win on Saturday and that puts us very close. We're really getting towards the the tim where the games are running out for Liverpool and Chelsea.

I think Liverpool will draw another game, so they will accumulate 13 points, meaning we need IMO, another 4 wins. Gettin' close now!

Scholes, as much as I'd love to support some 'conspiracy theory', I don't think we can complain. We've had our fair share of decisions go our way; many of my arsenal-supporting friends whinge to me about it, saying that at OT, no referee gives a big decision against United. Interesting stat though.

It's been like playing against 12 men sometimes this season, and it's a credit to the lads that despite poor decisions, despite biased refs, and despite everything, we are top with a game in hand.

Yeah, but I'm sure other teams feel the same. Remember the blatant penalty that wasn't given to Arsenal when Nasri was pushed? Although I don't dispute the FACT that we've been hard done by sometimes, but mate, most teams are!

But yeah, it's been a successful season so far. We've had a good run in the FA cup - better than last year - still in, and I think will still be in by a month's time, the CL, and we are probably going to win the Prem. Successful certainly, perhaps not outstanding. We haven't blown the League away as Chelsea did in 2004-5 or as Arsenal did 2003-4, and we haven't smashed teams in the CL as Barca have done. But then again, the League is becoming more competitive, so let's not be too harsh...

Lol, I'm not one to moan about decisions, as referees and linesmen are highly skilled people. I was just impersonating Homer, but if I am being honest, we have not got the rub of the green much this season with regards to decisions being made, we've on the whole been hard-done-by, but that's football.

Yeah. Next season I'm sure it will be different - and that's a scary thought...

Despite everything? lol Man Utd have had almost everything go their way this season and it has been the complete opposite for Arsenal so dont take ths piss because we have been really up against it this season. Had things have gone in the opposite direction then Arsenal would be way ahead of Man Utd now thats whats so hard to take and even on Wednesday we go into the game with loads of problems so dont bother with this again.

It really pisses me off when people have a lack of understanding when it comes to football. I know Scholes was doing it for a joke but its not even funny and it just annoys me because it has been a really hard season in every aspect and instead of congratulating and realising what Arsenal have achieved recently despite losing 5 games in first 14 despite having terrible injury crisis despite all the off field problems and just everything really. I know I used the word despite alot but its true and it hurts because had things have been different then I really do believe Arsenal would have been top right now because none of the top sides have been that convincing and the title was there for the taking this season but theres nothing you can do now.

Homer you could use 'ifs' and 'buts' in EVERY season if you wanted to. 'If' this had happened and this hadn't' etc. Fact is...it has happened, and nobody can predict what would have changed, if anything, had things been different. I know you will use the whole 'nothing compared to Arsenal' comeback but United have had injuries too, along with other teams.

I could quite easily say United would have won the CL 2 more time in recent time had things gone our way. Knocked out to Porto despite Scholes having a perfectly legitimate goal wrongly disallowed for offside. And then had our whole first string defence not been injured we may not have lost to Milan too. See what i mean? Ifs and buts...fact is they happened and that's that.

No your talking about 1 bit there but I have been an Arsenal fan for like 13 years now and I can honestly say that this has been by far the toughest season I have ever had to dealt with. Sure Man Utd have had a couple of injuries but overall the only player that will miss a huge part of the season is Owen Hargreaves but us on the other hand have suffered far worst injuries short term and long term. Since the start of the season there has always been at least 6 players out in every single game so ye it says it all when a player like Eduardo has not played 1 minute of premierleague football and our best player Fabregas has bene out for 90% of the season and has been crap for the other 10%. I could speak all day about how bad all these injuries have been but this is just one part of the disapointment and it has been set back after set back in every aspect. Nobody can deny it has been hard for Arsenal and nobody can deny we havent had much luck this season but incredibly against the odds this team is still fighting in the CL and are an astonishing 19 games unbeaten but I just have to accept that even if we win the league and cl standing on one leg blindfolded nobody in here would give us any credit so stuff them. My understanding of football is very high thats why I know my stuff.
