I'm sorry mate, I'm a pretty objective United fan and even so I'd have to disagree with you in this instance. One of Arsenal's major failings this year was their poor performances against the so called 'top four' sides (I'm including Tottenham in that top four rather than Liverpool now
). United were absolutely dominant in the game at the Emirates, and Arsenal looked pretty average in both games against Chelsea. Yes, I'm worried as a United fan by our reliance on Rooney, and the monstrous club debt, but at the end of the day we still finished ahead of you this season despite some appalling injury problems in defence, so I would be equally worried as an Arsenal fan if Fabregas does indeed leave.
Rumored to be £4 - £6 Million.

Would you agree that the OT game was the reverse of the Emirates game? At 1-0 RvP missed a sitter inside the six yard box (actually I think it hit VDS). Up until that point you weren't in it and it took a shocker of an own goal and dubious penalty to get something from it.
The Chelsea games didn't reflect in the score I don't think. I agree though that ultimately, its the score that matters. Taking all of that into account though, the fact that we gave up 6 points to each of them, we weren't so far behind.

Phnarr, phnarr......seeing as you cant afford to buy anyone this summer
Gooner's love of macro-economics again:"We mightn't have won anything since the last Pope died... but look at the green on our balance sheets!"
I presume you'll be available to eat your words at the end of this Summer?
In a forum!?
Erm nope, it was largely half-and-half but then Diaby decided to pull off a striker's header in his own box.
I don't see how you can expect anyone to say Arsenal deserved anything other than to lose with players like that.

Villa in 40 Million Euro move to Barca
Maybe the rumors about Cesc going that I heard a while ago might be true.
Hopefully not, perhaps this is the end of their spending. £40m last summer, £34m now.

That was like reported a few pages back....in fact i was the one who said the deal has been done ie Villa...£34 mill.
Still not 110% sure whats happening with Barca as one of their Directors has said they wont do anything until Arsenal make up their mind ie something about respecting Arsenals wishes and Fabs contract.

Yeah completely agree with you about the game at OT, you were the better side for large parts of the game, and I don't think I've seen a weirder headed own goal before. The penalty was a little dubious but then Almunia did go diving in on Rooney, silly thing to do. Hopefully next season United can stay a bit more injury free in defence and Arsenal will have more midfielders and strikers to choose from, then we will see how good Chelsea really are.

Well tell me exactly who are you buying this summer son??...seeing as Fergie has said as much that its going to be a quiet summer for Utd...lets not forget that City will be spending most likely and will probably overtake your sorry debt ridden asses next season
.We may not have won anything for a long time...same old BS that Utd fans keep flinging at us but honestly id rather be in the green as you put it rather than being another £76mill in debt

I think the penalty was stone wall. Even if it looked dodgy Almunia still had the intention of coming out and sliding to the feet of Rooney, even if he took a bit of a weak tumble it was Almunia's stupid play that gave the penalty away. The own goal was absolutely atrocious, Diaby in the box, facing forwards, free kick by Giggs I think it was, came in and Diaby rose to head it but instead of heading in away from goal he headed it in a backward motion toward the goal...

Maybe with that 4-6 million from the Foster sale they can buy Denilson.

Just heard on Radio 1 that we've sold Ben Foster to Birmingham for an undisclosed fee...
That leaves VDS and Kuszhakakakkakkkkkk.... =/
Amos is being promoted to first team apparently.
LOL goes to show just how much he knows about Arsenal.
If i was a Utd fan id be worried that Fergie is saying they wont be signing anyone and when Foster goes they wont be replacing him either...i guess the extra £76mill that has accrued because of existing loans is really hindering their future
.
Proves how little you know about Utd too
So one season competing for the title in god knows how long (Liverpool) is directly comparable to winning 11 titles and being marginally off another handful in the last 20 years - yeah right what a completely daft thing to state
We already have two albeit junior /inexperienced signings - they cant be any worse than what we had this year. We can at least expect better defensive cover next season (after the horrific injury list Utd had for a long time mid season)
I still think Fergie will buy at least one attacking player in the window - and depending on what happens wth Carrick & Hargreaves possibly an experienced central midfielder also

I do remember Arsenal being the better team at OT(still lost tho). The top four games are important but not essential. Arsenals main problems werent that they lost to the top four. If we won the last 8 games against lower teams we would have won the league. We just got too many injuries and didnt have the squad.
