the first arsenal goal was the defenders being stupid. they left eduardo wide open, but a great finish nevertheless.

the second was a little better. great turn again, gotta appluad eduardo this game.

3rd was stupid. im not sure if i blame the defender or the keeper. that shouldnt have happened. that was luck.

4th was a good shot.

2 of your goals were pure luck. presonally, i felt everton were playing the better game in the 1st half. second half was about equal, but arsenal got some lucky breaks and everton werent clinical. 2 goals the 2nd and 4th… they were good.

as for united… wow. im was shocked at how bad we were. i think they are like an achillies heel or something for us.

there were a couple moments that were united quality, but i was shaking my head most of the game. we played like chelsea… UHG!!! Ronaldo’s goal was BEAUTIFUL!!! whoever says giggs doesnt have it needs to die.

hummm… i we’ve done this a few times this year, more than id like. i thought we were finally getting out of it against sunderland. maybe thing woulda been different if wed had rooney. saha-tevez doesnt seem to work well. neither does fletch-hargo. 5 man mids also dont work

im not saying that United have won it, but it looks like we will. Consider:

1. Historically, the team on top over New Years is the team that wins.

2. Arsenal were in tip top form at the start of the season. But that has begun to falter. After losing a few key players, and fabregas starting to fall out of amazing form, your momentum is dropping. You have a series of tough games including Everton ahead. You may not lose much, but your getting a lot of draws.

3. United is gaining steam. I’ll admit we haven’t played well this 1st half of the season. Our play has been primarily scrappy. Here was a little streak of gold in there, the 16 in 4 run, but our best still hasnt come. Sunderland is the next step forward for us. Even play half our second string we put 4 past them in 1st maybe second gear. When United are on, we are top in the world.

4. Defense wins chamionships. Arsenal has conceded WAY more than United this year. Even if our offense starts to falter like Arsenal late in the year we still have the D for a clean sheet. That means we just have to nag a lucky goal, which United can always do because of our counterattacking prowess.

5. Depth. United’s 2nd team can drop into the 1st without making a ripple. Arsenal’s reserve team or whatever that beat Blackburn may be good, but if they had to replace fabregas with a youth team player the whole thing falls apart. They could switch out teams maybe, but if you remove certain arsenal players the system fails. So sure, they have depth, but if using it results in a system failure then whats the use of that?

and im just making fun of the arsenal fans who thought theyd won it 10 weeks in. They thought United were a ‘2 trick pony.’ We either dive for a PK or Ronaldo scores. lol. They refuse to accept anything we do.

Arsenal can produce moment of magic ball, but they fail to do so as often as they do succeed. thats not good enough.

1) Yes Man United do have alot of depth , but so do Arsenal . Did you see their 2nd string side beat a full stength Blackburn (who might I add are a far better side than Sunderland) away from home in the Carling cup?

2)Arsenal cant grind out results? , did you see the Arsenal vs Chelsea game recently?

3)Arsenal cant produce an individual moment of magic? , thats a load of ******** . Adebayor has produced numerous “moments of magic” this season.

Anyway , nice chatting with you , ill catch up with you later no doubt….hehehe[/quote]

Arsenal have strength in depth?? Funny how Wengar is not resting players in premiere league games where it matters, those so called Arsenal kids must be top notch if they cant make league games :)

I think we both no theres a world of difference between getting a goal from a goal keeping error on teh stroke of half time and grinding out a result in a scruffy game.

And as for Adebayor, no doubt a class player, but an individual game winner he is not, not like Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez, Giggs and even Nani.

And it was a pleasure, like u say, im sure we will have a few more discussions from now till may :)
