You sure have a lot say about MU although you’re a fan of Arsenal. Hehehehe…kudos to Arsenal and especially Wenger for believing in his young talents. That’s how team should be developed over time. I reckon at the top, it has always been MU and Arsenal investing in the youth talents at their academies and as can be seen, it is bearing fruits especially for Arsenal. I have always enjoyed watching Arsenal play since Wenger became the manager. This season they finally been able to convert the chances better than before….that’s the difference between last season and this season. Their passing play has always been there….sometimes over elaborate. You have to say their midfielders are finally scoring a lot more than before and that’s the telling play right now for Arsenal. It certainly would be an interesting season.

Although I am Arsenal fan, I do watched other team matches as well. Last Saturday, I got watch Liverpool match and follow by Man Utd match at nasi kandar shop in Penang with my friend who is Man Utd fan. Without Rooney and Ronaldo, Man Utd really cant break through the stuborn Bolton defense line. With both Carrick and Hargreaves playing together in the central midfield, as both of them consider defensive midfielder, Man Utd lack playmaker likes Scholes or Anderson for attacking option to unlock the Bolton defence. Furthermore, without Vidic, his replacement Pique, make a silly mistake by not guarding Anelka and miss the header that allow Anelka to score the winner goal. I must admit Ferdinand and Vidic are the current best defenders that their partnership form the rock at the back but missing either 1 of them will easily explore by opponent team as their replacement either Pique, Brown or Silvestre cant do the job as Man Utd lacking the 3rd choice central back subs. I always used to hear that when Big Sam managed Bolton last time, Arsenal young guns are always get bullied by the Bolton physical approach and when Wenger complain it, other managers will laugh and say Arsenal not physical enough to handle such senario. Now Man Utd also get the same feel and fate likes Arsenal get last time and tested the physical approach by Bolton especially when Davies aiming Evra over and over again and Ferguson fall into the trap by getting sent off by referee for complaining it. As overall, if comparing player to player, of course Man Utd players are better but if comparing team play, team spirit, confidence and self belief, Arsenal are better in my point of view. There is alot of proof showing Arsenal never give up until the final whistle as until now, uncountable matches that Arsenal are scoring in the last 10mins that still maintaining the 28 matches unbeaten run so far. Remember, there is always critics by other managers and players that Arsenal not deep in squad depth and will lose when missing Fabregas. Last Saturday, again Arsenal proof it that even without Fabregas, Hleb, Flamini and v. Persie, Arsenal is still able to win the game. Additional, England players are over-rated, expensive, too egos, and this is why England fail to qualify for Euro 2008. But it is still too early to say who will be the EPL champions as there is long way to go and no point arguing who wil win, by end of May, we all will know who is the best team in EPL.

The loss at Reebok was certainly disappointing but I rather have it now than at a crucial stage of the season. Can’t agree more with your assessment of our beloved Devils. I am particular impressed with Anderson and the work rate of Tevez. But most of all, my pick for player of season thus far for Man U has to be the amazing Evra. Bring on the treble……err…..the Real treble!!!
