Boss ready for key clash</p> <a href="http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid={B4CEE8FA-9A47-47BC-B069-3F7A2F35DB70}&newsid=493643" target="_blank">http://picsrv.manutd.com/?fif=/manu/img_10_21556_7909.jpg&obj=iip,1.0&wid=480&hei=179&rgn=0.10221465076660987,0.16625916870415647,0.817717206132879,0.4376528117359413 4&cvt=jpeg</a></p> <div class="newsStory"> Sir Alex Ferguson admits Saturday's trip to the Emirates Stadium could be a key clash in this season's Barclays Premier League title race.</p> Table-topping Arsenal and second-placed United are separated by just goals scored going into the match, with both sides in top form. Having seen the Reds score four times in four consecutive matches, however, Sir Alex is confident that his side are facing the leaders at the right time.</p> "Everything is coming together, as I thought it would, and in good time to take on Arsenal in what could be a key match in our title defence," he is quoted as telling the Daily Star.</p> "It's still an open race but Arsenal have had a great start and they're the ones we are chasing at the moment. The main thing is I know we will chase them with great fervour and determination."</p> Arsene Wenger's side have confounded their critics this season with some superb displays en route to leading the pack, and Sir Alex admits they are genuine contenders for United's crown.</p> "I know challenging for a title is a new experience for a lot of their players, but some of them have been there before and the manager has, and that is a big help," he said.</p> "People said the same about us last year, but we led the league for three-quarters of the season, so I don't think it's a handicap."</p> </div>
Can't wait for this. Me and a friend are driving up for the match at Old Trafford on the 12th of April, Maybe the 14th lol.</p>
<font face="Arial" size="2">yea looking forward to writing a blog win for united but i am sure arsenal will put up a massive challenge</font></p>
lol...I never had this much fun in a while on Tv, I love every manu vs arsenal match, theyre always exciting. We played better in midfield, Manu had the better counter attack, thats how they got their 2 goals. I feel as the referee helpedthemafew times on some calls, something I´ve come to expect from manu and their 12th man referee, but overall it was a great game that totally debunks the mancs argument that we can only play against weak teams.</p> MyArsenal Player ratings:</p> Almunia-7</p> Sagna-9(Best defensive player for arsenal in my opinion for this match)</p> Gallas-8(Was ok, but his last goal made him a hero.)</p> Eboue-8(Created chances for us constantly, did good)</p> Hleb-5(was way off this match)</p> Rosicky-5 (Same as hleb)</p> Fabregas-9 (great as usual)</p> Flamini-7(Did Ok)</p> Adebayor-6(Was off)</p> Eduardo-4 (Horrible)</p> Walcott-8 (Showed signs but was brought in too late)</p> Gileberto- I cant really rate him, since he didnt even play much at all, same as walcott.</p> I feel Van Peries could have given us the extra edge in this game with his expirience if he was fit.</p> </p>
<font face="Arial" size="2">should have started with Walcott then they would have won just</font></p>
