A loss for SAF and a win for Benitez sets up next weekend very nicely

Arsenal 6-0 Middlesbrough Latest

Arsenal 7-0 Middlesbrough. Absolutely no trouble whatsoever. Cheer up, United fans, it could be a lot worse. You could still have Steve McClaren around the place. The man's lost it big time.

Perhaps we could rely on you to post encouraging words here on the days Arsenal lose?

sherer · 14-01-2006, 17:38

somehow i just knew we were going to be rubbish today and i have to say we have too many players who just can't be bothered and are going through the motions.. O'Shea and Giggs were awfull and Van Der Sar is way past his best, he's cost us enough points already this season and never should have been signed.

Evra didn't look great and had to be played with Silvestre as he spoke French !!! Silvestre had his usual bad game and Brown should have played as he's been our best defender all season..

City were still poor but managed to get three past hope.. imagine if we had been playing a decent team..

how come Chelsea never have performances like this or players who just can't be bothered

well done to Arsenal on a great performance

I disagree about VDS - he's made some excellent saves this season although Utd should be looking for his replacement right now - Buffon would be ideal IMO but we'll never get him.

Silvestre's game has slowly declined over the years - the sooner Heinze can get back and boot him out of left-back the better.

Leics back to losing ways in league, craig got no motivational skills for smaller opposition.

in bottom 3

never been outside top 2 divisions in club's history.

Yeah, like Arsenal could be above them instead of 8 points behind.

Definately not - but it seems like I'm not the only one in to blind faith

errikson treatment is abysmal, obviously they set this sting up with one motivation in mind and that is to get our national manager changed. What is their problem with him? his record is very good in competitive games, and better then his predecessors.

We'll have to agree to disagree but I don't rate him at all.

Poor tactically, no respect from the players, good record in qualifying but that's to be expected when we have such good players- totally flatters to deceive when it matters though.
