Man Utd v Arsenal 2003 Patrick Vieira Red Card

Atmospheres were so great before everyone was glued to their smartphones in the stadium.

We look back and laugh on this. But it also confirms what Phillip Neville admitted; Manchester United usually got favorable calls. Not much to say when Van Nistelrooy fouls and then tries to kick Vieira and then feigns being fouled and begs for a card. Without even being touched.

its always man united and real madrid. perhaps they pay refs.

[grrrrrrrrrr]

Wow! It's been a long-standing tradition of Arsenal to be combative other than football.
Perhaps Rob Holding learned from Vieira. He struck Sonny with his arm, which put Arsenal at risk of being eliminated from the Champions League.
I want this tradition to be continued.

I'll never know why RVN got so much hate by arsenal and their fans for this. He moved out of the way from a kick and he never ran to the ref to call for a red card. He handled that situation, perfectly well but the players and their fans didn't. One of the reasons I'm glad that this was Arsenals last title

Referee’s problem still continuing in primer league 😢 so painful. No body will wish England will get any trophies 🏆. That’s why also they didn’t get yet

Free kick Arsenal and red card Vieira. Simple as that

Didn't make contact, not a booking according to 2024's VAR

Serious question: Why did they all bully Van Nistelrooy after the game? Is there history between Arsenal and Van Nistelrooy? I mean he didn't dive or anything, just jumped back to show that Vieira tried to kick him. Seems the yellow card for Vieira was justified.
