I think Arsenal are a top side…if you put in their injured players and just add a couple extra. They would be just a good as anyone. So respect is respect.

Im a tense fan no doubt….and i always air on the side of caution…cos in 30 years supporting utd…i know and remember many times…when things were supposedly won and words came out and people started celebrating prematurely. Only for it to go all tits up.

Hence i always remain sceptical…until the fat lady really sings and it is really won.

Evra like comments to give teams extra motivation. There is no doubting that. Managers use rivals quotes and pin them on the changing rooms constantly.

Some fans can be confident…and thats all good ofcourse it is. But for me im always like this at the business end of the season. Every opp team deserves a huge amount of respect and caution.

As SAF said of Wigan today ‘ Brucey has built a top team there, great physical strength and it will be very tough for us”.

And i know Arsenal will be 10 times tougher..1-4….or 1-10. Each game is different.

I personally have never liked players coming out and saying things like that..makes us look conceited and arrogant. Remain humble ala SAF…ala Scholsey, Nevo, Giggsy…..who always say great things about our opp teams…hence have great respect from our rivals.

Football is a funny and cruel game at times. Most overused line by managers…but the truest of them all.

Take care mate…..

I hope you’re right and we can do it without any hitches.

can you win 4-1 away on luck ?
yes, i agree with you. you shouldn’t get complacent but who is saying that that is on our agenda ? i think you are too tense. we are ManU, we are in the great shape and we shouldn’t be scared of this Arsenal.

But thats the whole thing……WE ARE BETTER THAN THEM…WE HAVE MORE CLASS THAN THEM. AND even though evra only made some throw away comments.

I think we’re a class above on and off the pitch…hence lets to do the football do the talking rather than our mouths.

Corea…Arse outplayed chelski….chelski had 4 shots…got 4 goals from some freaky circumstances too. So no its not beyond the realms of possibilty that they can get something against us. Theyre’ not West brom… and still are a very very good side. Ive known football long enough to know…..when you start getting giddy…it has a funny way of kicking you in the back teeth.

Hence id like us to keep our counsel….and do our business as quietly and as efficiently as possible. Withouting creating media agendas, tabloid headlines and revenge hoo hahs

The only club I think that can actually compete with us in the long-haul is Chelsea. Liverpool’s charge will certainly diminish sooner or later and don’t you even dare mentioning Man. City… A pile of crap if you ask me! No disrespect do Hughes though.
