hey if they win by BEATing them then by all means. That doesn't mean that they have a lack of talent though. You cant be in first place in the premier league simply by beating up on the other teams. as for being thugs, I highly dissagree. Aggression is a serious part of soccer, and they take it to the max. They don't let down for anyone. That is why they will win the Premier League.

i agree they have an abundance of talent, no question there, but wenger instills in their heads a total lack of discipline. aggression is a major part of soccer, but not the kind arsenal plays, especially not in the EPL. and there is no way they are going to win the league this year, everyone knows for a fact that Man U starts weak and ends strong, arsenal blew a double digit lead over Man U at the end of last season. the only real contenders are Man U and Chelsea...dont even try to refute that by saying arsenal beat Chelsea and tied Man U this year, because those are only 2 games out of 40, it wont make that much of an impact.

Man U barely escaped with a win at Panathiniakos wednesday afternoon, Diego Forlan scored the only goal of the match. the rematch w/ stuttgart should be a good one for the Devils.
but sunday is a huge game for Alex Ferguson's side as they travel to Stamford Bridge to face 2nd place Chelsea for what could ultimately be the determining factor in the title race. kickoff is at 11:05 am est.

i havent checked the Champions League stats for a while, but i just found out that arsenal has an amazing 4 points with a -3 goal differential, theyre 1 win 2 losses and 1 draw have allowed them to bring up the rear in their bracket

how about Arsenal's 5-1 win in Italy huh. Really ripped into them and rubbed it in to their faces. They are also still the leaders in the Premier League. I can't wait to see the results of the Man U-chelsea match. It's gonna be a hell of a game. May the best team win.

even with the 5-1 defeat of inter, they still have a -3 goal differential (meaning they let in 3 more goals than theyve scored...) and that was their only win out of 4 so far, they pretty much have to win their remaining two matches to make it to the next round, but i dont see that happening

and the man u game is gonna be great, being that its at stamford bridge, i gotta give the edge to chelsea, but thats never intimitated the red devils before so we'll have to wait and see

well Chelsea pulled on out over the Devils, 1-0, it was a pretty decent game Chelsea deserved it today. and the "mighty" arsenal had a scoreless draw with Fulham today which drops them to 2nd place with 34 points, 1 point back from Chelsea and 3 clear of Man U. but we still have a lot of soccer to b played

a disgraceful Man U loss to Wolves over the weekend and an arsenal victory over the villans gave the gunners a 2 point margin over Man U in the title race, chelsea drew 0-0 to remain 3 points back from the champions. interesting match up sunday as Man U travels to northampton in the FA Cup...northampton is currently 18th in the FA leagues 3rd division, which is apporoximately 84 places below Alex Ferguson and his Devils!

Geez gunner it's been a while since we've hashed it out over the Arsenal-Man U battle. But as you've noticed, Arsenal has regained a lead on the opposition. Then again both teams play weak opponents next, so we'll have to just see what happens.
Nice catch Hayes. Don't ever F****** do it again.

Major League
