Balotelli should have gotten the red cards four times over. What a fvcking moron. He is without a doubt the most idiotic player I have ever seen and Mancini should get sacked just for letting him play.
Anyway, great game by Arsenal and an incredibly important win.

Oh, I'll remind you all right... maybe I'll even buy you one 
We DOMINATED those pretenders today from start to finish. We blew a lot of chances and could have come away with a bigger victory. I about flipped my lid when Vermaelen inadvertently blocked VP's perfect header early. I was thinking "if we lose 1-0..."
There were several tense moments, mostly due to us missing a few early chances, but overall it was a spectacular win. Even if the scoreline was a simple 1-0. We played today like the Gunners before our trophy drought.
It took 1/2 a season for us to gel all of our players and new people, but it's really coming together. Hopefully we can continue this trend into next season.
The beauty of our last several games is that although he's been playing a huge part, we haven't been solely relying on Van Persie. Everyone of the team is stepping up - particularly Arteta and Rosicky. Although my nerves were shot most of the game today, it's been a real pleasure to watch my boys lately.
Except for Sir Alex, it's hard to make a case against Wenger as manager of the year. Think of all the crap he's been through this year - and still standing strong. I know it's far from over, but only Man U has been on the tear we're on.
Anyway, I'm clearly on a Gunner high today, but it was just so great to have turned our season around and at the same time watch Man$#itty fall apart. 1/2 their roster was stolen from us anyway.....

Like Chelsea, they're finding out you don't buy titles. Both Utd and the Arse have developed core players and then invested wisely in specific players to fill gaps. Too many new owners think this is FIFA 12 for PS3 and go buy all the "best" players but never create a team. Another good example was the AC Milan of the early 2000s. They had some superstars, but overall they were just a cohesive team.
Unfortunately for Arsenal, this was a "down year" for United, and we're still taking the title. Imagine when we're flying high again - another treble?? We'll let you guys win the Carling Cup.

This year was Citeh's best chance to win a title but it's all imploded in internal strife and egos (read tevez and balotelli). United had one of their weakest editions in recent memory yet an unflinching team spirit and instilled ethos has them with one hand on the trophy. One could argue this would be their sweeetest title yet...they will retool over the summer with quality signings and not leave so much to chance next year.
Even better is seeing the scousers 36 points behind
