Arsenal captain, Cesc Fabregas, has attempted to butter us up ahead of our Champions League semi-final games.
He loves Ferguson. He loves Rooney and Ronaldo. He loves the way we play.
Cheers!
“I have no problem saying United are one of the best clubs in the world – even though I want to beat them,” said Fabregas. “They are the best side in the world at the moment – a top, top side and we respect them a lot. In fact, they are one of the best clubs in history. I respect Alex Ferguson for what he has achieved. There have been some great battles over the years and I am sure these two games will be just as interesting and dramatic. Rooney and Ronaldo are amazing. I really and admire them for what they do. They have been excellent players from an early age and it’s unbelievable how they have maintained their amazing standards. I am a big fan of both of them. You can expect just about anything from them and they always make a difference in games. Look at Ronaldo against Porto – what a goal! It was one of the best goals I’ve seen.”
Fabregas is also impressed by the style of football we play, although has taken confidence from their result against us this season.
“United are probably our biggest rivals but they are a team who play good football,” he added. “You always enjoy these games but we are determined to come out on top. There is always good football in games between the two of us. They like to create and we have a go, so it’s tremendous for the supporters. At least we know we can beat them as we proved at The Emirates. They had their best players in the game earlier in the season and we won. That gives us tremendous confidence.”

Nice to see such generosity from our rivals.It shouldn’t distract us from doing the business though.
Well what those this prove? Faber-glass wants to join united?
he said he respects and admires them, but NOTW tweaked the quotes.
I wouldn’t mind Fabregas joining our club, he would be a perfect replacement for Scholes
Well i guess he doesn’t want to join us…He envy’s us.
he’s only trying to win over united fans so they’ll stop singing his name
he is class
with his brass
and he……………..
yah i agree .. whts wrong with the gooner captain, trying to butter us up ,,,,, surely he knws better thn any one else wht a shitty team man u can be … wht even try and build a bridge between emirates and trafford whn u knw trafford is so totally in dumbs thnks to the scottish drunk at the healm…
Gooner captain seems to have lost it
Cesc has ALWAYS said he admires Man Utd, the way they play etc etc..He’s never hidden his admiration for any player or club..
We all know you guys would LOVE (secretly) to have him at your club, as is the case with any top player. So why the pretense?
I hope he chucks a plate of Vindaloo all over the old mans red face.
COME ON YOU ARSENAL
Why would anyone respect a club that depends on referees generosity in awarding them dubious penalties time after time? Match fixers do but certainly not respectable footballers.
He still has a long way to go but in 3-4 years he could be a top player so why not have him?Arsenal players very very rarely come to United though.
It’s good to see some good old fashioned respect and honesty from rival teams. Hat goes off to him.
Yes your performance was great, but it was even greater to see ur defence leaking goals like a pasta strainer. Never said i loved you, only acknowledged your brilliance BIGHEADS!!!
Dont you wish your team
had bought me
dontcha!!
yours truly
fab 4
Fab4 always speaks the truth about how he feels.
Cesc to Hughes: “Have you played for Barcelona”
Hughes: “yeah”
Cesc: “That was not Barcelona football on the pitch”
Mhahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaha
cecs we need you at united, to replace scholes.
This site is becoming a very good place to come to catch up on arsenal news!
Full credit to Fabregas for that. At least he’s not deluded like FSW.
Tombo – it’s YOUR players that are talking about US. I take it as a compliment. Have you heard any of our players wanking over how great Arsenal are? No, me neither.
Ready made replacement for Paul Scholes.
‘Replacement for Scholes’…..
Seriously, fuck off.
Ah everyone’s saying we need him instead of scholes
I say LETS GET DIEGO!!
It is nice to hear such things,but in 2/3 years he will be gone to barca but hopefully utd!
why not make a double signing…Wenger and Cesc!!!!!….(well you can dream!!!!)
Although in truth I would prefer Wenger to take over from Fergie,as he is similar in the sense of his unwavering belief in the youth,like fergie and unlike mourinho (per say),he plays a high technical brand of football,has a sound knowledge of the epl,and unlike the other names being bandied about as possible replacements for fergie i.e.bruce,moyes-he has big game experience and has won trophies.
“Yes your performance was great, but it was even greater to see ur defence leaking goals like a pasta strainer. Never said i loved you, only acknowledged your brilliance BIGHEADS!!!”
Thats rich you bitter cunt, how many did your mugs ship at Anfield on Tuesday night?
Cesc having a storming game, just been substituted as it looks like job done for Arsenal, should we be worried ?
Fabregas a ready made replacement for Scholes? No chance, he aint fit to lace paul’s boots. We have Anderson don’t forget!
King Eric,
We shipped the same number of goals you did against Liverpool, except you were at home and only scored 1 whereas we scored 4 at Anfield.
well said king eric
HollowayHarry – fuck off you homo cunt.
Corrupted club – fuck off you complete cunt.
would love to see Ando battle with Cesc, but doubt he will start
nice contribution
Will be a good battle between Anderson & Fabregas, they’ve already had some healthy (jus about) rivalry between them. Future Keane vs Viera tussle? Though I would think Fabregas wont be around too much longer if Arsenal dont win anything soon
I say let Fletch get at him on wed…
Now the bitter rivalry of 5-6 years ago has died down, us gooners can all admit our secret admiration for man u. You guys play great, dynamic football, and want to win by imposing your style, rather than limiting the style of opponents, like chelsea. Because of this the games between us are always pretty good and the records are very even in head to heads. On form we are the two most watchable sides in the country, and assuming barca win it will be a great final whoever plays them. If us gooners don’t lose any more to injury, it should be a close tie with utd as favourites. should be 2 great games, and i can’t wait!
Out of Chelsea,Liverpool and Arsenal the side I respect the most is Arsenal.
When Utd games arent on and I have nothing else to do I really enjoy watching Arsenal matches because no matter what you feel about them…they play some amazing football and are great to watch for example there was this match a few weeks ago and adeybayor and eduardo were pinging backheels back and forth around the box it was great to watch
Utd and Arsenal play the best football thats why it was awesome to see them going at it last season before arsenals challenge died down, I still view Liverpool and Arsenal as our two big rivals and I hope we have a terrific match in Europe.
….No Pizza and Soup this time though.
cesc aint good enuf to lace scholsey’s boots so stop this crap of ‘replacing scholes’. pfft.
