This match is not as deadly as before but it is still exciting to watch, so fast.

sorry for the quality, but it's worthy.

I'll go on a 4-1 win for Gunners.Rooney is brilliant, but weights too much in Utd game while for Arsenal there are a lot more players to make the difference.Arshavin,Fabregas,Rosicky,Eduardo,Nasri even Ramsey could make it.Cheers

Tie. Fergie will pack the middle hoping to disturb Arsenal's way of playing and then rely on Valencia breaking down the right and most importantly on Rooney to win.

Arsenal should win this, but they'll choke.

^^^^It's been a while since Arsenal have not been scared of United, going into this fixture. They don't have the personnel to go eye-to-eye with United anymore. Sorry, but the only reason why they'll have a chance, in this game, is the fact that it's being played at Emirates.

I heard that for the first time in history a football game is going to be showed on 3D, and that game is Arsenal vs Manchester tomorrow.

Lucky ones those who can watch it on 3D.

Arsenal applied pressure well, especially up until the first goal which kinda let their spirits down. They just couldn't hit the target - there must have been atleast 5 shots going just narrowly wide, most of them by Arshavin. United countered Arsenal's attacks beautifully, with fast pace and a few simple passes to great deadly chances - Nani and Park both being very decisive. And Nani seemed to step up in this match, as he had been saying in some interviews, would be nice to see him reach his full potential.

Disappointed with the result, as I was rooting for Arsenal, but definitely an entertaining match for everybody.

It's bad when our best finisher is a center back :(

Actually, the little Russian was awesome until it came to finishing. He missed so many great chances.


You really need a good goalscorer.


Bendtner is a retarded. He came in as the tall guy to stay in the box and use those crosses, while what he did was to go out of the box and cross by himself. lol

Arsenal started and ended the game well. But from the moment Man Utd scored the first goal, they totally controlled the game until last 20 minutes.

Agreed. The first goal was crucial. Arsenal's mental strength, after going down 1-0, has to be questioned.

What was wrong with the forum yesterday, I think nigerianmiracle hacked it.

It was a good game from United. They started the match very well and could score as well.

Unlike some of you, I actually think that the second goal was more important because Arsenal showed this season that they can turn things around very easily. Actually, I wasn't sure about the victory till the last 5 minutes especially when Arsenal scored that late goal.

This 4-5-1 (4-3-3) system is actually good for counter attacking system against big teams, it's not that efficient against a defending team like Birmingham.

Again it was a great game. I'm happy that Brown and Evans could control themselves to not do any stupid mistake. van Der Sar was fantastic as well. Rafael showed that we don't need to bring any Right back and he can cover that area very well + Oshea will return as well. Evra played a decent match but he defended better. Midfield boys played a good match, scholes and carrick were brilliant. Nani was Nanaldo last night, Park and Rooney run for the whole match, I really appreciate all of them for that victory.

But I should give credit to Wenger team to play a football match and Arsenal style till the last second. They never tried to use long balls and emotional play.

It was one of those days that everything went well for one team.

UNITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEED

For some reason, our 4-5-1 tactic almost always beats Arsenal yet somewhat fails against other weaker opposition.

I believe it's due to Arsenal's lack of a plan B. Most teams in the premiership alter their style when playing United, If you stop Arsenal's gameplan then they cannot adapt very easily. We snuffed out Cesc, so Arsenal were unable to play through him.

Arsenal are most effective when they can exploit space, united's 4-5-1 formation denies them that space.
