I know that many people hate United, I can understand that because that's what United fans felt about Liverpool when they were the best team in the UK for a long time - but same as with Liverpool in the past, this success is very hard to gain, and even harder to sustain for such a period. And this must be a testament to Ferguson and his relentlessness (is there such a word???). So I respect that City want to kick United off their position, fair enough, but they should do the talking after their trophy cabinet has been found, dusted off, repaired, hinges oiled and repainted and displayed with a new shiny cup in there. Repeat that 5, 6 times and then start boasting and taking the piss.I must say that I really enjoyed the recent Arsenal game. Obviously it was because  of the result, but I was also delighted by the style of play. Not sure if it was because Nani and Rooney were so good, or maybe Arsenal had one of those off-nights, but the combination of Fletcher, Scholes and Carrick in the middle was great, and the speed of Rooney and Nani was nice to see. Having said that, the result is obviously all that counts, but if Arseshavin had a slightly better day it would have been much more difficult, he did have a few chances...And Fabregas? Did not have a great game, but if United had such a player then god help the rest of the PL. A goal scoring attacking playmaker is what is missing...But what really impressed me from both teams (and the ref) was that the game was without the regular theatrics, nobody was kicked, and generally it was a very fair and free flowing game. Well done both teams for that. Now go on you Gunners and show Chelsea that you are  not out of the PL race <img src="https://www.satellites.co.uk/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
