Anyone else excited about this match tomorrow? Two of the most on-form teams in Europe face off in an important match for both teams. Arsenal need a win to stay the favorite for the 4th spot, and Man United need a win to continue to put the pressure on Chelsea (do we really have a title race?) The atmosphere at Old Trafford should be tremendous, especially if West Ham are able to take points off Chelsea early in the day. The game is on PPV here in the US, but I'll be heading down to a pub to catch the match live, if anyone in Austin is interested, Fado's Irish Pub on 4th will be showing the match.
I am most definitely excited for this match. It should be a great one, as Henry and Lehmann have been in top form lately, and ManU has been great as well. I'm not sure who to root for, I guess ManU, in hopes that they overtake Chelsea. But I also want Arsenal to get a UEFA spot. I'm torn!
2-0 Man United Just got back from the pub. Great game! Both teams played attacking football the entire match, and were unlucky not to score more. Rooney was absolutely brilliant, scoring one and setting up the other, not to mention being robbed of a goal by a handball, that was ignored by the ref. That's 9 wins in a row for United, but they remain 7 points behind Chelsea with 5 to play.
NO WAY! This can't be true... This just shows how inconsistent the Gunners are this season. Let's hope they will bring the silverware back to Emirates Stadium because things are certainly not looking good as their goal of reaching the top four in the premiership is slipping away
Its not like its easy to go to Old Trafford and win. As an Arsenal fan I hate to see this but then again - I wouldn't mind seeing Chelsea stumble. Hard to believe I'm saying that considering the history between AFC and ManU, but it goes to show how intolerable Chelsea have become. I liked that Arsene wanted to go for a win with the 4-4-2, but they've played some pretty flowing football out of the 4-5-1 the last couple of months. I would have preferred they stuck with that.
I didn't get to watch it but from the highlights it looked like a great game. There's nothing like watching a soccer game between 2 giants like that. I looked at Fox Soccer Channel (FSC) and they are re-airing the game Wednesday night (8-10pm) and Thursday night (10:30pm-12am). Man-U's been playing great and what a force Rooney is. He is going to shine at the World Cup.
