eh?

"... the most important derby game, as in the sense that both teams have been challenging for the league."

Like a pissed old fella in the pub you let them off.

Plastics at work all saying that the rags are sure to win. The few that actually go are predicting a 4-3 classic encounter, that means a nailed on bore draw :)

 

[ANewEra...]

Don't worry, Everton is our most important derby.

When did Arsenal last beat the rags in the league? Doesn't seem to happen often at all anymore.

1.5.2011 last time, before that 8.11.2008

in last 5 years 10 United wins, 2 draws and 3 Arsenal's wins in all competitions.

Last 10 matches: 8-1-1

We have much better score against rags in last 5 years: 6-1-9

That's shocking, Arsenal have had some very good teams too and should have a much better record than that, especially as top teams trade wins regularly. Seems to me that Ferguson has Wenger sussed just like Mancini showed signs of having Ferguson sussed last season.

That's why he likes him :)

All the newspapers have written "Wenger reveals RVP snubbed £300k/week at City" yet not one that I can see has any actual quotes of Wenger saying this, the closest being "City were interested".

PS: Does Wenger's bitterness to us know no end if he DID say that (of which I have doubts), trying to make Arsenal's biggest Judas sound like a Saint on the eve of him returning to their stadium where the fans will give him what-for?

No as its at Old Trafford
