Gooner Chris, from popular Arsenal blog Gooner Talk, has shared his thoughts on the greatest United vs Arsenal games, which all-time United player he would have liked to see at Arsenal (unsurprisingly, he went for a Frenchie!) and who he fancies for the Champions League this season.
Enjoy!
Scott the Red: What is your favourite ever United vs Arsenal game?
Gooner Chris: I’ve got quite a few, but a ‘recent’ thriller between the two clubs was when we beat you 2-1 after a last-minute header from Thierry Henry at the Emirates. It was a fantastic game and such a brilliant atmosphere throughout the 90 minutes.
STR: What is your least favourite United vs Arsenal game?
GC: Manchester United 6-1 Arsenal – enough said.
STR: Happy days! Right, do you still have as much faith in Wenger as you always did?
GC: My opinions change on Le Boss all the time. I still believe that we should of bought Xabi Alonso in January, I think he would have been a superb acquisition. We signed Arshavin instead, despite having 4+ players in the same position.
I’ve never agreed with all of his policies but if we do manage to win something this season – all my faith will be restored! 
STR: Forget this season, what do you think Arsenal should be realistically hoping for next season?
GC: Premier League & Champions League. I think we may make a couple of signings which could bolster the squad. We’ll have Rosicky, Eduardo and Gallas all fully fit by pre-season so I’m expecting us to challenge for the title.
STR: What are your thoughts on Fabregas’ recent charge?
GC: What happened to innocent ’til proven otherwise? Where is the evidence to suggest Fabregas spat at Horton? There isn’t any. I think it just sums up the FA to be honest. Fortunately for us, if he does get suspended then it will only be domestically.
STR: I touched a nerve there. Moving on. How much of a miss with Arshavin be for your team in our matches?
GC: A massive miss as you can imagine. He’s just scored four goals against one of the best teams in England. I know that he’s upset about not being able to play in the Champions League this season but I think we’re capable of winning without him.
STR: Much is made of Wenger’s “beautiful football”, but would you prefer attractive football and no trophies OR ugly football and trophies?
GC: Ugly football and trophies. Our manager wouldn’t agree, but as we’ve seen with United, it is possible to play attractive football and pick up silverware.
STR: Which current United player would you most like to see in your squad? Why?
GC: Nemanja Vidic. He’s a brilliant defender, he wears his heart on his sleeve and most importantly – he plays for the team.
STR: Which past United player do you most wish played for you?
GC: Probably Eric Cantona. Just thinking about him in an Arsenal shirt makes my mouth water. He was a magnificent player.
STR: Who do you want to win the Premiership this season? Why?
GC: I’d like to see Liverpool win it. It would be nice to see a mix-up and a different team winning the league but on a footballing basis, United probably deserve it more.
STR: Who do you think will win the Premiership this season? Why?
GC: United will win the league, no doubt about that. You have a superb squad and are capable of turning games around with the likes of Tevez & co available on the bench.
STR: Who will be in the CL final?
GC: My heart says Arsenal v Barcelona but my head says United v Chelsea. Anyhow, we’ll be in for two brilliant games of European football!

I love these articles. Its great to have a passionate and intelligent discussion without descending in to tribal fighting. Credit to both sides for honest opinions and respect to two great clubs.

I agree it’s good to have an intelligent dialogue with opposing fans here on this site, without descending into crass abuse. It’s what I do all the time with friends so why not here? Mind you, I have to admit on occasions I too have descended into ‘crass abuse’ with some of my dimmer pals who can’t see the error of their ways, some of whom might just happen to have disagreeable whiney Scouse accents…
GC is a disgrace to Arsenal supporters. Which prat would want the fat waiter to win a trophy? Rather you lot then that bastard or chavs. And still complaining about Arshavin, get over it, Wenger bought him for a third of the price and he’s world class. His kind would rather have kept Helb.
Nickynicknick well said!
Gooner Chris writes pathetic drivvle akin to this piss ant site. Alonso in January? Fucking dumb turd.
Sofa King Good – Well get off this “piss ant site” then. Simple as. Idiot.
” Which prat would want the fat waiter to win a trophy? Rather you lot then that bastard or chavs.” nice one lazer.
Alonso in January? Geeeezzzz this guy is not serious. Can somebody remind him again that we got Arshavin.
We needed a DM, Song and Denilson stepped up and save for The Scouse game we conceded less goals from January (only 4) and he still wants to put a DM in there. We lacked the cutting edge going forward, AW buys Arshavin and suddenly we look dangerous going forward, just ask the Scouse.
I don’t think the success of this team should be judged by trophies this season(maybe next season) but by the 2nd half perfromance of this season, because i feel if we manage to keep the team together, they will be a force next season.
Sorry Gooner Chris, my opinion.
You lot should check out Arseblog… I go over there occasionally just for the laughs because the Irish dude that writes it is f’ing hilarious. He says Cunt more times in a single post than anyone I’ve ever seen.
Drewvader; Please post the web address will you mate, so I can go on there…..fucking cunts will soon learn that i can swear as much as they can…!!
