No, nor the team.

It certainly can't be arse as they're always only ever the victims of
dangerous tackles.

There is a definitely an element of disrespectfulness about the player
wearing the red shirt. Only he knows if it is intentional or not.

It's not hypocrisy, I think he genuinely believes that no team is more
skillful than Arsenal and if any team outplays Arsenal, they would never
resort to kicking them off the park. Only other teams do that sort of nasty
stuff. He's delusional on this issue, not a hypocrite.

all the players slide tackle incorrectly in the current game - leg
straight out with the studs up. watch a game from the 70's and you'll
see some correct slide tackling. they've tried to protect the players
by supposedly banning slide tackles from behind but now they let the
players get away with sliding straight in from the front with the
studs up. just like they've done a pretty good job stopping the
professional foul by issuing yellows and red but now shirt pulling is
rampant and it could easily be stopped by punishing the offenders
after the game by watching the replays.

Um, yes they did.

Were these challenges reckless or not.

Question for you showboating is something you hate as you feel its
rubbing the noses of the opposition into their own failure. What did you
feel about what Keown's reaction to Van Nistelrooys last minute Pen
Miss? Was he not rubbing noses in failure? Would Van Nistelrooy been
justified in putting a 'reducer' on Keown? Did any Arsenal fan
disapprove of it at the time?

Just want to check your views are not blinded by any kind of bias.

In what way was RVN a failure ?

He missed a penalty against an excellent team who would go on to great
glory. I will not condone Keown's behaviour and I will also not
condone the blatent cheating by RVN earlier which conned the ref and
led to Patrick Vieira getting sent off.

That is what led to the agression. Utd are not whiter than white so
try to understand this.

No one said Utd were whiter than white but did keown deserve a reducer?

IIRC Keown was diciplined by the FA as were Lehmann, Lauren and was it
Parlour or Cole.

I can only accept the punishment of the FA. Did Keown deserve it then
I would have to say yes. He went against the rules of the game.

Of course Keown deserved a suspension. He broke the rules. He broke
the law of this country as well as it happens.

Many players have during the course of their careers.
