It did not hurt as much as the City 3-2 because the team did well enough in my opinion to deserve something from it, wheras against Arsenal, they deserved a full blown 7 or 8 nil humiliation and were lucky not to be on the recieving end of one. That's really the only positive...
I still haven't got over 81 so no sympathy from me.
That is perfectly understandable and no sympathy needed mate!
Onwards and upwards to the united game, us beating them lot is probably considered as unlikely as it was Arsenal beating us, so we may as well be positive about it.
Everyone who played against Arsenal needs to take a long look at themselves and will hopefully realised that they have embarassed their club and need to sort it the fuck out against United. Maybe he's becoming a scapegoat as there were none on the pitch that did themselves credit but Bale in particluar needs to man the fuck up and start working hard again, then perhaps he'll become the player that many think he is.
The difference in Bale and Walcott was staggering. There's no doubt that Bale has far more potential and he's already the better player and by some margin. You wouldn't have thought that after the game though. Bale is looking a shadow of the player he was and there doesn't seem to be a specific reason for it. Surely it can't be down to 'arry's man management? We keep getting told he's the best man manager in the business.
