Wow only 3 hours away.... I cant wait for this match. Im shocked at the number of people who arent watching this game. Ive been soo lucky that Ive seen every United game live this season... except for the Coventry loss in the Carling Cup.

I reckon we will keep a clean sheet today. as far as i can remember our deffence is the best they have come up against this season and i think vidic will dominate with his strengh and solid defensive style.
UNITED UNITED!!!!

from skysport.
Rio Ferdinand has warned Arsenal that Manchester United are out for revenge at Emirates Stadium on Saturday, in a game which is live on Sky Sports 1.
Arsenal snatched a 2-1 victory over United in January, with goals from Robin van Persie and Thierry Henry in the final seven minutes securing the win.
The Red Devils went on to lift the Premier League title and finished 21 points ahead of Arsenal in fourth place, but United defender Ferdinand admits the memory of that defeat still hurts.
"We were dumbstruck in the dressing room after losing to Arsenal," Ferdinand told the Daily Mirror. "When you're winning such an important game fixture with 10 minutes to go, it's hard to take being beaten.
"Afterwards we were all saying 'how did we get beaten?' You always remember that feeling, and we'll take the bad memories into this game as a way of inspiring us."
Meanwhile, Ferdinand's Old Trafford colleague Owen Hargreaves is also determined that United will come out on top in the crunch lunchtime showdown.
Hargreaves joined United in the summer after signing from Bayern Munich and was not with the club for last season's away defeat to Arsenal. However, the midfielder is adamant United will prove they are the 'best team in England' in Saturday's top-of-the-table clash.
"Everyone will be watching this game and people will draw their own conclusions from what happens," Hargreaves told The Sun.
"So we are after three points to show everyone why we think we are the best team in England.
"I am used to playing in big matches with Bayern and England and especially away from home - and this is another one. It will be a great test."

As expected Giggs for Nani is the only change from last week. Saha on the bench.

Got to watch the game as we re-arranged the paintballing trip Was a good game, top viewing and lived up to some of it's expectation except I feel whenever United play against a top team we let them dictate the game. We're better than Arsenal, we're better than Liverpool and we're better than Chelsea but in recent years we've gone to those stadiums and let them play their game and tried to counter - yes, we beat Liverpool at it last year but some of it was down to luck. I hate that, if we pushed for the result we'd most likely get it. But saying that we should've got it today having gone 2-1 up we shouldn't concede goals with minutes remaining we should get back to basics and sort it out. Was Rooney's goal, don't know how they haven't give him it. Stupid. And the referee was absolute stupid at times, blowing up for everything little and quick to book United players but not give them when due the other way. Ronaldo, Tevez and Rooney were too quiet for me - yes, two of them scored but they have the talent to win these games. What have we learnt from this game? That United will win the league. Had Arsenal beat us, they'd have had a chance but not for me now, I think it's just a matter of time 'til we rise to the top and cement our place as the top team in England, again!

Seeing a lot of negativity on shoutbox but im happy today. Ok, its guttingn to conceed so late, but a point, away at Arsenal is not too bad. We played well attacking, but at the back we were poor and the goals we conceeded were not long after we had scored. We should have kept our wits about us and thats dissapointing. The defence was poor allround except for Evra who I thought was brilliant. A real shame we couldn't hold on.
On a seperate note, I was pissed off with Anderson today for waiving for an imaginary yellow card. He was right but I hate seeing that and I hope Fergie has a word with him about it.

Fair result, especially seeing as both of their goals caught 2 of our players out of position each time. Numerous times there were 3 United players attacking in Arsenals half whilst we had the league, and only 2 Arsenal defenders on them. Gutted about Tevez' performance, he just did not turn up and it took Saha coming on for Rooney to find his best. Hleb did what we needed both of them to do all day. The confidence only seemed to kick in once Saha, Carrick and O'Shea came on for some reason Is it possible that United can only really play to their full potential with a Saha type striker on the pitch?
