Ahead of Saturday’s clash against Arsenal, I thought I’d give you something to pass the time during this s l o w news day.
European Cup semi-final, 5.5.09, Arsenal 1 – 3 Manchester United
Manchester United went to the Emirates for the Champions League semi-final with a narrow 1-0 lead, thanks to a John O’Shea goal. Manuel Almunia had a brilliant game and kept Arsenal in the tie after we dominated them.
The Arsenal players and managers told the press we would live to regret not making the most of our dominance when we went to their ground.
They dipped in to their budget and forked out money for thousands of plastic Arsenal flags for the fans. Ooh they were so pleased with themselves. Sadly, those opening few minutes were as good as it got for Arsenal as we went on to rip them to shreds on their own pitch and they poured out of the stadium after just an hour.
With eleven minutes played it was game over as Arsenal were given a footballing lesson from the Champions. Our third goal was the best of the lot, taking just ten seconds to get the ball from our box to theirs, counter-attacking football at its finest.
Our former title rivals were left humiliated whilst we were triumphant, on the way to our second European Cup final in a row.
Arsenal fans promised they would get their own back in a few weeks time when we met them in the league but fortunately the point we gained against them that day was enough to win the league before the final day of the season. All together now: We won the league at Old Trafford, we won the league in Manchester!

Hi guys. The 3-1 win at the Emirates was fantastic, but my favorite is the 4-2 win at Highbury!
The 2-0 win to end their unbeaten run was the best, even more so because of ruud scoring against that monkey
@Costas
Yup…have to agree with you mate…..
That game was something special…..with the Keane and Vieira spat in the tunnel, the majestic goal by O’Shea in injury time and his cantona-esque imitation of the celebration…..Awesome night!

One of my all-time favourites remains the First Time I Saw Denis Law play for United, against Arsenal in August 1962. Anyone interested can find it in the RoM Archives under ‘Contributing Writers’.
For all you park haters out there i just wanted to say he had a hand in all 3 goals in this match and was outstanding…cant do anything eh? Think again bro
Le Arse no he cant. Anyone else would hae could hae done the same thing.
have*
Wengers face on the first and second goals are priceless.
Le Arse, you can’t be serious about Park. He was extremely fortunate on the 1st goal(he fell down like he always does) the second goal was all Fletcher and ronaldo. The third goal was skill by Rooney and Ronaldo all park had to do was make a foward pass into space, any footballer professional or not should be able to make that pass.
Park is rubbish end of
UNDER-RATED thats all i can say
