These lot don't deserve to wear the shirt. Its as simple as that. Wenger too. They all had to earn it this season, thats how the fans entered the season and although the season isn't yet over I just cannot see these changing it now. Ox is used in the middle of the park, a game in which that needs pace like at Anfield. Utd nearly took 3pts. Its incredible.

Where there is hope there is glory.

Yeah a top 4 finish, nothing more.

That was awful. No movement. No desire. Nothing.
The only thing that saved a dismal Arsenal was the sheer cowardice of Manchester United. I thought United fans were overreacting but that was the most pathetic performance I have seen from United at our place. The only club I have seen set out like that against us was Palace and we played much better in that game. United do not deserve top 4 with that level of cowardice and we don't deserve to win the title with that lack of desire. Looks like both teams will get what they deserve.

Pathetic game of football. Angrier that I was on Saturday.

Methinks you are overreacting . I thought United defended quite well, you can't expect a visiting team to go all gung-ho and leave themselves wide open. It takes two sides to make a poor game and Arsenal played their part to the full.

If United were pathetic then Arsenal were p**s poor.

I said Arsenal were poor. They were awful. The only thing that stopped us losing was United being happy with playing for a draw and not attacking us. Liverpool will destroy us on Sunday if we play anywhere nearly as badly as that. We were as bad as we were on Saturday! Lazy and uninspired. It was shocking.

Yes United defended quite well but why are they playing for a point when they're 9 points behind top 4? United were Champions last year and now they're playing like a team fighting relegation that's come to frustrate Arsenal and win a big point. It was cowardly. Why on earth did they spend £37 million on Mata if that is how they want to play?

Arsenal were a joke and United would have won that game had they had any ambition to do so. Arsenal should count themselves lucky that they didn't. Tonight is the night the title went, the players clearly don't want it.

No, they are playing like a team that is low on confidence, has had a run of bad results and tonight dug in and got a point away from home against the mighty Arsenal.

And they had the two clearest chances. It is only a point but that result will do more for United's confidence than it will Arsenal's.

Maybe United think this was a good result then. That's an even more damning indictment of the team. Arsenal were shockingly bad and United still didn't bother. The only real chances United got were from Arsenal's mistakes and still we got let off. United got a point. Liverpool and Spurs got three. It would have been better to try and get the three points than go for one. Any team that is in the position United are in now that still settles for a point is a team that has given up on top 4.

But whatever. If United are happy with that then good. I am just really angry at that performance from Arsenal, they deserved to lose. Players not moving forward, not making runs, just not trying and they could have gone top of the league. I would rather have lost that game going for the win that whatever that horror show was.

Liverpool and Munich next. They won't be so shy. This is going to a horrific month.

At least Ozil was very good. Shame he had no poxy support.

[thenry]

He needs a pacey striker, pacey players around him.

Just watching Newcastle Spurs on demand. No lack of effort from those two teams...
