Brave from Fabregas. Taking a penalty with a broken leg must take some doing. You cannot question his commitment can you.

Anyone seen picture of Rooney with that big leg support on?!! Errr, any need? Its a minor ligament damage. I did my ligaments a month a go and my ankle was in a state, not that i've seen Rooneys, but probably worse and all i got was a tuber grip bandage. Pff.

One presumes it's because he's worth hundreds of millions of pounds to Manchester United and of incalcuable value to England and you might not be.

Or it could be because they didn't know what he'd done and had to be careful?

Rooney - nancy boy wearing gloves and a sore ankle.

They didn't know what he'd done? Well i'm not as important as Wayne but had an x-ray within an hour and half of doing it. Surely he'd had one by the time of that photo?

Its all we'll see on the back page now, "Rooney Ankle Update" or something along those lines.

Can vision the S*n already has a countdown to his return.

I see Fabregas has indeed cracked a bone in his leg. That must have been hurting when he took the penalty? I've broken my arm a few times and you can tell when it's broken. The numbness and the dull sense of shock. He must have known that something was wrong as he took the penalty.

It's one to tell the Grandkids anyway. "I scored for Arsenal against Barcelona wth a broken leg".

Disgraceful refereeing. You're telling me a hand to the face is worse that tvatting a player from behind? Embarrassing.

Luisao's challenge was twice as worse than Shawcross' the other week on Ramsey, yet he only gets a yellow, whilst Babel gets a straight red for handing his face. Farcical.

Pretty bad challenge, the way the ref flashed the red it wasnt clear who it was for, no one would have been surprised if it was for the Benfica player

Channel 5 said he shown Luisao two yellow cards. Did you see Garcia's studs to Babel's head? He made several fouls that half yet wasn't even booked.

I know what Babel done, by the letter of the law is a red, but how didn't Luisao walk? His tackle was shocking and 9/10 if there's handbags, both players are booked, but the ref done absolutely nothing.

Possibly the worst refereeing performance I've ever seen. It's worrying that this fella is allowed to ref such a game. I'd investigate as to whether he'd been paid off, he's been oblivious to their antics all night whilst he's clamped right down on the slightest thing we do. Unbelievable.

SL was much better but had both on so watched the goals etc

conceding 2 penalties, a goal disallowed and a red card away from home in europe, just like the old days

Sets up next week pretty well they will get a nice welcome.

Atmosphere will be a belter. I expect a 2-0 Liverpool win.

For the Berbatov doubters, his record with United.

26 goals in 60 games. Not to bad considering.

Jason Cundy is such a boring bleep. The two way chats they have with ex players on SSN is massively cringeworthy.

I always laugh when he comes on as their "expert", couldnt they have found a better ex Chelski player than him?

Awful player.

West Ham are going to the PL to compain about Fulham's line-up last week.

Heh, Tevez and Mascherano anyone?

Love the sig.

they have done so. perhaps west ham would like to explain why they left there best players out at nal to rest them for the wolves game, not that it did them much good

Rooney should be back for the City game. But Hargreaves should be on the bench tomorrow.

You've got to rememeber you don't get the best refferees in second rate comps but fwiw i thought he had a great game

You know, the two pens and Babel's red card were probably right, although harsh, but he let everything go for them, they got away with so much it was incredibly unbalanced.

Not so impressive when you consider that he doesn't get picked for the games against the stronger teams. How many has he scored this season against the top 10 teams?
