Well as i read your article…i couldnt but agree…however i disagree on one thing…the ability of any arsenal defender to cap with ronaldo’s pace and trickery or giggs experience…the wings would pose the biggest threats on arsenals defences thus freeing from time to time rooney or tevez…given the free role that ronaldo plays going from one side to another arsenal’s defences have alot to worry about…this will be a beatifull matchup…and hope the best team wins

Carrick is back from injury, probably not fully match fit but will be a good option from the bench.

I agree with the comment about the atrocious english.

Someone mentioned Carrick – isn’t he injured. I can’t see how that point is relevant at all.

I believe games are won and lost in every part of the field, so all this talk of Vidic and Ferdinand v Adeb. and whoever else is all shite. Games are won by good football and also silly mistakes just like the one from Ronaldo when he presented the goal to Adeb. last season. I just hope for a United win as in such games with so much talent on the field one cannot even think of predicting the result. I just hope that if United dominate the game as we did in 2005 FA cup final, they manage a couple of goals. ManU till I die.

I don’t agree, but each to their own. The comment about Sagna I think is a little off – and I don’t think Almunia can be exploited the way you suggest. As for Toure, think what you want, he is a world-class centre back and will get the job done.

[...] going to win the game tomorrow and I went into great detail as to why I think this is the case in yesterday’s post. In short I just feel that the home side’s defence is perfectly suited to nullify the United [...]

arsenal 1 – 4 manchester united

why…??

1. arsenal’s weakness is defending set-pieces and in vidic, ronaldo and even ferdinand these days, manu could create havoc in that dept.

2. toure is just a midfielder playing at centre back. he has loads of pace and has come on really well, but he always makes the odd mistake in every game (not always punished) but against manu (especially in this form) it could be very costly.

3. almunia could be exploited. a few early crosses in and if he’s not too assured, united will keep ‘em comin’

4. from what i’ve seen of sagna, he is prone to have lapses in concerntration and i think manu will target that arsenal right-back channel. unless sagna and eboue play a great game, i think ronaldo, giggs/nani and evra will contantly threat.

Can’t you guys write clear and simple English? The spelling and grammar evident in these comments are atrocious. Learn the basics of the language and express yourself accordingly.

id love to see us winning, a good 3-0 would be perfect lol but i cant see it. id love to see eduardo come on and finish them off, am so excited about this guy, he can really finish teams off, that second goal against sheff utd, just showed composure and class.
4-4-2 could do the trick and am sure we played 442 last season exepct old trafford so maybe we might see eduardo.
rumours are that gilberto might be called in, but we have to see about that
