Red Devils at home

Forget the North London Derby, or for that matter any other london derbies this is the one match we want to win. After the fraca at OT 2 seasons back, the competition has intensified.SAF has already started the mind games, which is nothing unusual. I just hope that Wenger doesnt retaliate as he is in enough trouble with the F.A. as it is. Manu definitely go into this match as favourites and i for 1 wil be happy if the gunners come out with 1 point. I expect Rooney to drfit wide to the flank with ronaldo and give lauren a tough time.Cygan is suspended and that ll mean that Senderos might have to come in at left back. Scholes will try to go forward as he normally does and i have a feeling that he might score. Lauren has to make sure that he doesnt get caught in possession high up the pitch as ronaldo might exploit that like he did last season.
For Arsenal, the key will be to have good possession and attack Silvestre and Ferdinand who are as suspect as the Arsenal defense. I also expect Reyes to start on the left flank and in all probability he ll scare the shit out of Neville and make him sweat.
I will not be able to watch this game but i expect a good contest between 2 sides that have been at loggerheads in the recent past and there is more than 3 points at stake.

Paddy and Keano were missing from the game and it showed. Neither team put enough pressure on the defences (even though they were both quite solid at the back). A point is a plus, taking into account ManYoo's recent form. Thankfully we have the FA Cup and I'm going to the game against Cardiff on Saturday. Winning builds confidence within the squad, so you know what you must ask for Mr. Wenger!

Great news that has made my weekend! Now Wenger just needs to sign a big name or two, to repay Henry's faith that we are going to make a push for big trophies this year and beyond!
