The return match at the Emirates in February 2007 was one that no team really deserved to win. The idea that Manchester United were unlucky not to win is rather silly. Manchester United went ahead early in the second half with a Rooney header at the far post after an even and uneventful first half. Arsenal responded well to going behind and created several chances before Van Persie deservedly equalised. Manchester United can, however, consider themselves unfortunate not to come away with a point; Henry’s late header was cruel.

In November 2007, Arsenal and Manchester United played out a 2-2 draw. Some may say that Manchester United were unlucky not to win because William Gallas’s equaliser came in the dying seconds, however, I would say that a draw was a fair result given the balance of play. Both of Manchester United’s goals were scored at times when Arsenal were dominant i.e. against the run of play.

One can have no argument with the result of the F.A. Cup fifth round match at Old Trafford. Arsenal were truly woeful and Manchester United deserved to win 4-0, if not by a greater margin.

One can argue that Manchester United were lucky to beat Arsenal 2-1 at Old Trafford despite Adebayor’s opener being a handball not spotted by the referee. Alex Ferguson admitted himself that Arsenal were unfortunate not to get a point from the game. The free kick resulting in the winning goal was soft to say the least.

I take it that when RedDevil mentions the game at Highbury, he was referring to the 0-0 draw of January 2006. This was another tight game in which neither side deserved to win. In the first half Arsenal were dominant whilst Manchester United had the better of the second.

The comments by Rooney strike me as an example of ‘mind games’. I really don’t think Manchester United have much to worry about given that current state of the Arsenal team; the poorest since George Graham’s side of 1994/1995, which finished twelfth in the Premiership (6 points off relegation). I predict a 3-1 victory for Manchester United.

Past 2 seasons..again we ve been better and in winning positions only to somehow let slip in the final mins and last year the final seconds. They celebrated last years draw AT THERE HOME like a victory. Thats says it all for me.

hopefully tmrw we can take our chances and not succumb to celtic result or the last ditch heartache we ve suffered at the emirates.

And good that the opposing manager will be given extra security…350 mill stadium…and they couldnt even make sure the fuckin fans dont virtually sit next to the opposing manager. Who was the architect…Wenger??? ” i dont know..i didnt see it, i will have to look at it again” lol lol lol
