February 20, 2008 13 Comments
Carlos Tevez got us a crucial equaliser and away goal in tonight’s match against Lyon. After a frustrating match, it was looking as though we were set for a 1-0 defeat. Despite our great record of scoring late on, for some reason I always seem to let the doubt sink in.
FA vs United: Why Arsenal Players Escaped Punishment
February 20, 2008 43 Comments
Reds have responded to the FA’s decision not to take any action on William Gallas following his kick at Nani with disappointment more than surprise.

Old Trafford was extremely lively yesterday, with the competition for loudest fans ending after 20 minutes when United went 2-0 up. At the final whistle, I remarked what a long journey home it was going to be for the Arsenal fans, before looking up and seeing the empty seats, and realising that most of them [...]

Sir Alex Ferguson joked that he would be making a trip to the FA Cup quarter final draw, if we beat Arsenal, to make sure it wasn’t being fixed. After facing ten Premiership teams in a row in the Cup, whilst our rivals have enjoyed lower league opposition, Fergie could be forgiven for thinking something [...]

Beating Arsenal is always an enjoyable experience, whether in the league or the Cup.

William Gallas, Arsenal captain and whingebag, has today launched a scathing attack on the Champions, branding us too arrogant and complacent.

Fergie: My Favourite FA Cup Match? Have A Guess!

“Don’t pass it to Yorke!” I remember shouting at the television, as Ryan Giggs got increasing close to Arsenal’s box. In hindsight, I’m not sure what I was expecting him to do with the ball, I just didn’t want him to pass it to Dwight Yorke. Not to discredit Yorke, who had a phenomenal season, [...]
