Toure: We need to win at United

By Jonathan Chong on Thursday, April 10, 2008

Defender Kolo Touré says that Arsenal have to win at Old Trafford, at least giving Gooners something to cheer about after a disappointing month.

A month that has seen the Gunners concede top spot in the league and knocked out of Europe.

The Ivory Coast defender was harshly punished in the match against Liverpool when he gave away a penalty in the final minutes of the game.

Touré said: "We need to show character on Sunday and to play really well, and give our fans some belief for this season.

"It will be hard if we do not win anything because we were going so well at the start of the season.

"We still have the chance for the Premier League and we will try to take it.

"We know it is not over - we just have to look at the next game and try to win."

DREAM ON.... We are the most unlucky team in the world. i mean we are being picked and cheated on by refs. If you are that unlucky with refs, the last place you want to play a game that will end your season is OLD TRAFFORD. Everything does against every team at OLD TRAFFORD. Even teams dont bother to go there to win. TEAMS GO THERE TO MARK THE REGISTER. I'm going to watch the match live, so we might win. Throught-out last season we didn't loose a single game out of all the ones that i watch, and watched over 25games. This season seem to be UNBELIEVABLE. FA Cup, Carling Cup, Champions Leag & Premier League (before EDUARDO's injury). As for me this season is over all i want to see is THEO, BENDTNER and SONG doing there thing for Arsenal.

I think Mr. Toure shoud just shut it. True, it might not have been a penalty, but he should have not put himself in that compromising position for Babael to take advantage of. It also amuses me that many do not see that Adebayor's miss in Anfield and Bendtner's gaffe in the Emirates proved a great factor. ARSENAL LOST 'COS OF IT'S WASTEFULNESS. IF THESE CHANCES HAD GONE IN, REFEREE'S DECISION WOULD HAVE NOT COUNTED FOR MUCH. LET'S FACE FACTS!

It is over and there is no use of consoling the fans.

Yes,the penalty against toure and arsenal was unjust and pesonally i fealt that it was not a penalty..but arsenal need to show that they are bigger than the decisions that are going against them.they need to regroup and come back strongly,to show the mental strength of the team..and to show that they can still play our football and win eventhough the decisions are goin against us.come on gunners!
