    2-0 to the Arsenal, final score. Considering they were down to 10 men for 77 minutes and still managed to beat the ***** at Ewood, I'd say it was a great result

    Yep. With the two thrashings of Liverpool and now this result, that's some good results on the trot.

    Next week should be fun. It will be a tough test, but we're really hitting on all cylinders with Scholes and Ronaldo playing brillant football. If only we could get Rooney going again...

    Anyone see Martins cracker against the Spuds yesterday? Wow. That was just a crazy goal.

    007, yeah this game should be a good one. I expect you to come out firing since we pretty much dominated the game at OT. With Gilberto suspended, I wonder if Wenger will move Toure up into the holding role?

    I wouldn't say you dominated at OT earlier this season. Yes you won but we outshot you, and Lehman made 8 more saves than Kuszczak, while possession was pretty even.

    It should be a good, and with the Scousers helping us out earlier today I would be more than happy with a draw away from home. Will Cesc be playing?

    I think you're being partisan. We dominated the game and even your players voiced that opinion. We dictated the flow and action of the game and if there was to be a deserving winner it was only going to be Arsenal. When a game is even and one team gets a late winner you most often hear the comment 'we deserved a share of the points.' Nobody was saying that after the game at OT. In fact, as you can see below - the comments coming even from ManU itself were the opposite.

    "Arsenal controlled the game earlier in the season,” concedes Rio Ferdinand in the latest issue of Inside United magazine.

    United are unbeaten in their last five Premiership matches and have lost just once since that defeat to the Gunners in September - a match Ferguson admitted Arsenal "deserved to win".

    He should be playing - haven't heard anything otherwise. The real question is how we cope without Gilberto. I'd really rather see Toure moved into the holding role and Djourou at CB than Flamini in the holding role.

    Seems like you always play well on our ground, although this will be the first clash at Emirates. I think you continue to be the only team that can come and dominate the game we're at home. Is Rooney playing?

    What is up with the Kop punishing Chelski AGAIN. I don't understand how they are the boogeyman for the blues. It has to be Benitez's coaching but if that's the case then you'd think everyone else would copy the gameplan.

    Good game so far. Ronaldo has been a non-factor in the 1st half. Arsenal's defense looks shaky. Spectacular back-to-back saves by Lehman at the end of the half. Henry and Adebayor are worrying me cause they're being given way too much room to operate.

    Go Red Devils! Need these points bad to distance from Chelsea.

    Can we please play Rooney and Giggs in their natural positions?

    ROONEY!!!

    He breaks his drought with a great diving header and a terrific run and cross from Evra.

    Not sure about 'terrific cross' since Toure basically put the ball right to Rooney. But got to give Rooney credit for the run and concentrating on the well taken header.

    Gunners not looking dangerous at all IMO. Henry not doing anything against United (as usual). Maybe RVP can create a spark. Would love to see the beast and walcott on late.

    Not sure which of the two announcers on Fox that it is, but one of them needs to get his nose out of SAF's butt.

    Nice time wasting and rolling around by Vidic. I understand it but it sure sucks when you're losing! :mad:

    Another late goal conceded by our defense. This is becoming a worrying trend. That ball should have been cleared way before it ever got to Henry.

    Disgusted. Our defense has been shambles the last month after the 75th minute.
