Manchester United 4-0 Arsenal:

No excuses for this one.

They played a weaker side than we did, and we had some of our best players playing in Fabregas, Hleb and Gallas.

The whole defence was utterly shite, fullbacks got turned inside out again and again. Gallas and Toure were shite.

In midfield, we had 10 men anyway in the first half with Eboue. Cesc was poor, Gilberto, as he has been this season, was shite. Eduardo on the left did more than the whole team put together in the first half. Also, I think its about time Wenger finally realised his position is NOT on the left. He still did OK.

Bendtner upfront couldnt do anything since he never had the ball. Eboue getting sent off in the 2nd half finished it off, if it wasn't already finished.

Lehmann was our man of the match. He made some good saves, and came out of his area several times to stop one-on-ones (our defence held a high line but the 4 defenders never 'synced' together, and were never in line).

Woeful performance, and the experienced players looked like they just didnt care. They showed some of ours fans clapping at the end, that was wrong, the complete gutless performance by our lads deserved booing. Humiliations in both the cups, first by Sp*rs and now United. (At least United won't be bringing out a DVD.)

I dont think this will have an effect on our league performance and hopefully we can keep going on like we did after the battering by Sp*rs.

Lets hope for a better performance against Milan. We need to take a lead over there, without conceding at home. If they get an away goal or two like they did against United last season, then we'd be in deep trouble.


Need to bounce back well for Wednesday. Come on Arsenal.
