Totally...Awesome

[@Photosoflife]

Keown actually makes a very valid point whether people want to acknowledge it or not. If you actually closely listen to commentators, and you listen to them over enough seasons, you can clearly tell that they like and dislike certain players. The easiest way to tell is when they constantly praise certain players but go very quiet when they make mistakes. But when a player they don’t like does something good they go equally quiet while constantly bashing them whenever they can. It’s very obvious if you actually pay close attention to the language, tone, and context used by pundits.

I still don't get how Van Nistelrooy got Vierra sent off, all he did was take a step back, he didn't dive or feign injury and the ref saw the whole thing happen so it's purely down to his interpretation!!

[@user-ly7bf8ld4p]

It's called Delusion, and it's extremely strong in Arsenal supporters. RvN reacted to a player trying to hurt him, and they say he dived to get Viera sent off. Joke. That Arsenal team was full of divers.

[@MomentofCorrection]

Corruption was at its peak

[@alexyork9917]

Watch the original challenge from Van Nistelrooy on Vieira again. Deliberate and reckless. Fact is Utd regularly kicked Arsenal off the park in those days and the refs turned a blind eye to it. Classic example was the following year. Utd got away with foul after foul and then won the game through a blatant dive from Rooney. Thankfully, those days are long gone and Utd have to play by the same rules as the rest of us.

@Matthew-bu7fg a girly kick? A stomping action showing his studs is a girly kick? Do you play Sunday League against Trans Women or something? Is that your definition of girly? It was deliberate and not within the laws of the game. Exactly like Beckham's (aside from the severity). An immediate red card. Learn the rules.

​@stevepreston6173 not relevant if he was near or far. The rule: "Foul or attempted foul..." Scholes was sent off in 07 at Anfield for taking a swipe at Alonso. Didn't connect. Not relevant.

It’s really not that complicated. If you’ve ever played at a high level with huge stakes on the line, you can 100% relate to what Keown was going through at that specific moment in time. Keep fishing for “likes” with cheap comments like that. But the only thing embarrassing is you not actually understanding the context of what Keown is saying and shows how out of touch you are with elite level competition.

Keown played an absurd amount of years at highest level They do not make these sorts of footballers any more. Good for martin here speaking up for his idea of what happened, and no matter what happens, there is always two sides to a story, and its only right that both sides can speak. People speak alot of rubbish about keown, football back then was what it was. Todays football has gone to absurd levels of being clean, its totally boring. I do not watch football anymore, but i doubt there is the rivalry between anyone today, that arsenal and man utd had in those years. Ask roy keane, he would openly say he misses that competition between the two, and he knows that there is nothing like it today in football Its absurd now that teams like each other when they are competing for the biggest prizes Man utd were full of rapists and thugs, and arsenal in years i watched them, never allowed themselves to be bullied, and man utd under fergie bullied teams. Why do man utd people moan that there was a team that they could not walk over? I am sure no matter what roy keane and the likes say, they loved the competition from arsenal in those years Most teams would just be bullied by man utd under fergie, he filled that team with males who were rapists, and thugs, and if you wanted to compete with such monsters on the field, you needed people like martin keown. I stopped watching arsenal in 2002, and from what i hear about this thing happened in 2003, there was nothing wrong. Man utd were a team of bastards, and martin keown knows this, to compete with such teams, you needed to not let them bully you, as man utd under fergie walked over so many teams back then, but he never did it to arsenal in years i watched them. Football is a competition and top players have a massive will to win. You can be sure roy keane loved playing arsenal, and how arsenal would not back down to manutd in those years. I do not blame some players for not wanting to hear the experts speak about them.
