I never thought I'd hear myself say this - so I am writing this down... this Manchester United fan believes Arsenal are the real thing! Remember the all conquering United of the 90's and the glory days at Merseyside? Those teams never knew when to give up and on most occasions... they proved to be right. Arsene Wenger has put together not only a team system that works, he has assembled a group of young men who have the mentality of champions!
This is the attitude that Roy Keane has been trying to drum into the likes of Fletcher, Bellion, Ronaldo and the greener half of Old Trafford. Regretfully, it's currently to be found in London - not the glitzy blue uptown, but the red hot Highbury way.
Now this does not mean we are throwing in the towel... because really, it ain't even time for an early bath. With the likes of RVN, Saha, Rio Ferdinand and one (albeit unproven - at least in the EPL) Argentinian (and I really don't mean Mr Veron) soon to return, I would say Fergie has reason to be hopeful - just not ultra confident as before.
Throw in the riches of Mr Abromovich and the wily signings of Rafa, the new boss of the Kop, I take comfort in knowing that at least we are in the top 4 of England. And unless the brass at Old Trafford are willing to loosen the strained purse strings and bring in the likes of Rooney and Nedved for example, we may just strain to qualify for next year's Champions League and that would be a real shame...
