You did have a lot of dodgy penalties to get back on level terms that year, one particular dive by Pires against Portsmouth I think it was, was absolutely criminal.

Oh also lol @ at the trolltastic Gooner Gustov-alikes finally turning up and passing more comment on a United loss than their own game.
Indeed, it does show how irritating some people can be.
if i was offered an arsenal draw and a utd loss this morning i would have grabbed it with both hands.
A win against newcastle would have meant nothing had utd of won
The fact is were still a point closer to you and you have city to contend with next week then chelsea not long after and you've still got to face us on our turf
We definately have the easier run in

awww thanksLooking forward to arsenal thumping you at the emirates in a few months
At least it's not knockouts even if that happens
Are you trying to say UTD lost today because Wolves are good? Arsenal went unbeaten because they had great group experienced pro's with most of them in their prime. OTOH UTD have struggling along with Evans in defense, very little cover at wing-back, and central midfielders that are either average or well past their best. TBH I can't understand how they went this far without been hammered as they have been dreadful in so many games.
shocker for arsenal today, not helped by yet another incompetent ref, sent diaby off but not a newc player against our keep! **** must have been a woman as our 5th wasnt offside!
redemption has been made by wolves tho, just need city to beat them next week and we will be within range of a prem win!

It's easier to take now that united have lost but we would have been 2 points behind them!!
True, but if wolves can beat united then Arsenal can beat Barca. Just have to hope we get a nice ref
from the beeb
Rio out for a couple weeks!

Yes, and thats still all you'll have to talk about at the end of the season, because you wont be winning anything else.
All Arsenal fans know we won't win the league, we just don't want you to win it unbeaten.
And we could get the Carling Cup.

Losing your unbeaten run to a team 20th in the league.
Priceless
Arsenal still the only "invincibles" to grace the league
As an Arsenal fan, you have nothing to boast about today.
What is it with Fergie putting Rooney on the left, Chico upfront on his own and Giggs behind him? Giggs should have been subbed for Anderson, awful game from Uniteds greatest ever player.
Glad we finally lost a game. It has been coming all season away from home. Still 4 points clear at the top, still safe. Can lose next week again and still be top.
Thats 4 goals conceded from 4 set pieces in the last 2 league games. Something to worry about there.

I think but all the most delusional United fans would've recognised that too.
Doesn't stop the sheer ecstatic relief we get from Arsenal fans now though.

What an epic match I'm really happy for Wolves and Mick.
Elokobi's post match comment made me laugh: "We knew we would have to play 50mins (in the second half) against Man UTD".
What a great result for the Premiership all-round.
Yeah I know how ridiculous is that, especially after no substitutes, Hennessy sprinting to take each goal kick, no stoppages for injuries or limp-wristed fights, Wolves players taking each throw-in within 45 seconds, and Molineux ballboys not taking the **** in the last 15 minutes or so.
Seems no-one can ever get one ever on Emperor Fergie, maybe that fat Spanish bloke was right...
United lost today because the midfield went non-existant as per usual, except that we didn't luck it out like usual.
As for Wolves, well, I would have done the same as they did - park the bus and break in numbers, which they did. I just have to laugh at the fact that they'll most likely still go down due to the fact that the team only turns up to half a dozen matches a season, they'll probably go and blow points up the wall in the next few weeks against the teams around them.
You can say what you like about Arsenal but they didn't have any good competition at the time, it was just so easy for them. It's akin to putting the current Arsenal team in the Scottish First Division for a season.
Impressive achievement none-the-less, but I doubt it'll be repeated. The circumstances were perfect for Wenger and his men.
A question to those of you who will no doubt flame me: If i'd have come to you in July and said your team would be unbeaten until February, would you have taken it, no matter who you ended up losing to?

Did Wolves even get a shot in the second half? It was like 70% possession for United in the 2nd half.
