I remember after the OT fixture against Arsenal last season. I was actually annoyed we only beat them by one, such was our dominance. I remember saying after that beating Arsenal is just 'meh' these day. We've done it so often recently. Two things to glean from that.

1) Maybe we shouldn't be so apprehensive going into Saturday.
2) Things may not be our usual sunshine and roses, but so much can change in football in as little time as a year

Game is Sunday right?

I think arsenals confidence is at an all time high especially after mid week. This will be the deciding factor for me. I dont think it will be like v city but might not be too far off it

YOUR PLAYER DID SCUMMY THINGS YOU CAN'T CRITICISE ANY OTHER SCUMMY THINGS

Who do you support? Have the players on that team never done anything scummy?

Holy shít, the standard of postong on this forum is dredging new depths

The oddest thing about this is how considered and softly spoken Keown is in his punditry since, seems like a nice fella...it just goes to show the passion of the game.

Neither of us were talking about the Nevilles and Reyes. That has nothing to do with Keown that day anyway.

Kerrydude1981

Been underdogs might suit Utd on Sunday,the media hype will all be about Arsenal and rightly so they have been playing some great stuff,but I wouldnt rule out Utd sneaking a win.

There centre defence isnt the greatest and Utd will create chances against them,but its when Arsenal get the ball its blanket defence time and close down the space,also could we see Utd laying down the marker early and throw in a few hard tackles on the likes of Ramsey and Ozil kind of like what Roy Keane did to Overmars that time.

I know that, does that not mean I can accept what keown did was scummy which I did and take the topic to the Neville brothers kicked Reyes?

It's all about discussion that's all I was doing but seems that's not allowed around here.

Your point ? I don't think any forum rules were broken ?

doesnt look like Fergie is on the late late tonight, theyve announced that Amanda Holden and John Delaney are on.

in saying that, wouldnt mind getting to see Miss Holden, she is one of the hottest cougers on the planet....

bad2dabone

There was no love lost between the two teams during that era.
Both groups of players went too far - Keown (who is a very nice man!) and Gary Neville (who I've also grown to admire) pushed the boundaries with their antics.
When Arsenal's period of success faded as we concentrated our resources elsewhere the rivalry has abated.
However now with Arsenal perhaps on the verge of a new era, and United certainly on the verge of a change in fortunes, we'll be looking at the rivalry re-igniting.
Can't wait.

Discuss it all you like, you won't see me stopping you. Your post came across as though you were being patronising. If you weren't then grand :P

For the sake of discussion I don't agree with players being unecessarily physical against each other. There's a point were it just goes too far. I don't remember how bad Reyes got it that day to be honest so I can't say whether or not I think Gary or Phil should have been punished.

Be careful lads, the Arsenal/United rivalry is what got this forum closed back in the day, believe it or not.

Lol should never be used as a response or in real life, well that's my opinion of course.

It is a bit confusing lately alright. Apparently I am not allowed to dislike cheating divers these days, which seems strange to me as they are cheating pricks after all.

i sense you are trying to be either funny or sarcastic here....or something. the reality is, for the past 18 months, Ashely Young has performed about 3 levels below the necessary level of a Manchester United player and one who cost £16million.

on current form, we would struggle to get £6million for him.

You sensed wrongly. I meant every word I said.

Your type of response to his post should never be used in this forum IMO. It's what makes this place so shìtty to read through at times.

"Ashley Young diving again, what a cheat"

"Yeah..well..eh...um...Suarez is worse"

It's playground stuff, pathetic.

It's called bringing up a topic of conversation, I acknowledged what keown was wrong, people really get upset over the smallest things.

Should hopefully be an interesting night at the convention center. Hopefully it's worth the 5 hour round trip.

Checkout Paul Merson's prediction for Sundays match on Sky Sports. How an Arsenal man can be so biased.

Pretty funny how he follows this - Man Utd game

I'm tipping a 3-1 away win and I honestly think that's the easiest call I'm making this week.

By this - Newcastle game

That's why making predictions in Premier League football is impossible.
