key word here is DOMESTIC....
maybe the best ENGLISH team ever, but nowhere
near the greatest ever in europe (ex real, ac milan, ajax...)

To be fair we've got no-one else in our squad who can fill in... I've been saying for years that we need cover at the back.
I think we should have bought Woodgate when he was available years ago

Its also a great pity that wenger has to accuse Nistelrooy of being a cheat, when half his squad do the same thing. In that game i saw arsenal players stamp on people with studs, but no one picked it up. I also saw arsenal players crowed the referee every time a decision went against them, they were like cry babies. Viera was virtually superglued to the referee all the time. Edu performed so many fouls and got away with it. Arsenal really played shit, and apart from a few efforts running into our area, really didnt do anything that would have made them worthy winners of the game.

Well we won the fair play league last year im pretty sure. Our card record is no where near arsenal. And that comment is rather misdirected, as most teams at some point in their time are guity of unsportsman like behaviour. Arsenal are always the first to dish it out, but dont like it when it comes back to bite them.
I had a lot of respect for arsenal before they went on their 49 game run, they seem to get more arrogant and two faced than ever before. Arsenal supporters are the same, the proper ones will still act decently, and say that it was better than the run ended at old trafford rather some bottom of the table struggler.

i think Justin Hoyte should be given a chance in place of Cygan. he could well prove himself like Ashley Cole did.

... do you even bother following any football outside of Manc? You probs don't even live there anyway...
I think you might like to reconsider who won the fair play league last year... http://www.thefa.com/Features/Engli...al_FairPlay.htm ... - you should find that it was in fact Arsenal. And our fans won the equivalent league for the supporters - just goes to show what a great club we are
Just shows how clean we played to combat the Old Trafford shenanigans!

Well firstly, i go to the university of wales, bangor, which is just down the road from manchester, so i do get the opportunity to go to game. And i also said i think man u won it. The hit home message is that you lost at old trafford, and you were so used to being elitest that when you finally lost, it was to hard to take.
The run should have ended ages ago. Fair enough fergie is a bit hot tempered, but one man against your whole squad who have temper tantrums every time something goes against you.

That was a cool game. Spurs deserved a tie. But that's football. Good game by both squads.

In local derbies, I couldn't care less about how we play - the important thing is getting the points. They're a different type of game
