After recent displays by United, im not so sure we will beat them.
There is a severe lack of 'football' about us at the moment and it seems to be a case of hoofing the ball in the air in desparation.
The team is constantly changed on a weekly basis by Fergie which is really frustrating as it disrupts the team; many of the players seem to have simply forgotten where and how they are supposed to be playing and the general morale of the team is down. The defence looked so poor in midweek against Sparta Prague; it's almost like if Rio's not playing, the defence aren't playing and the attacks not much different.
One important fact is that if we don't beat Arsenal on Sunday then I would say farewell to our title chances this season, that may be the single reason to spur United on to winning on Sunday but it won't be easy - thats for sure. Writing off our title chances at such an early stage in the league is beyond depressing.
So come on United, let's see what you are made of.
Predictions and any views on where the match will be won and loss please.

How many goals did he score then?
Every team get their fair share of bad and good decisions alike.
Stop crying about it.
Arsenal have been helped out in the past.
And more to the point the score was 2-0... as in there was more than just a penalty decision.
Women. The lot of ya.

As for the penalty decision, I've just sat through all of Sky's analysis and it was a penalty from the angle the ref had. And Thats all the decision can be based upon.
Oh, and Arsenal had an amazing one shot on target...wooo.

Just a few hand picked.

No backbone?! This fixture is the only reason P.Neville is in the squad! Legend! Took out Henry with an amazing challenge early on.

Arsenal were beaten by some absolutely awful refereeing, although take nothing away from RVN - he managed to get it right this time. Not completely ballooning it anywhere like an idiot, but just taking the penalty normally. Also, I wasn't aware that Rooney was a cheat in football. Now, he's completely changed my opinion though. Meh. Idiot.
I think Arsenal are still going to win the Premiership, and their run was going to have to end sometime, but did it have to be to Man United with some crappy decisions involved? Could someone like Bolton or Middlesbrough just not have done it normally with good play? I'm not saying Chelsea or Man United here because when they play Arsenal, they never play properly; they're far too cautious, and with good reason I suppose. That's why I was expecting teams like the aforementioned mid-table sides to eventually beat Arsenal; they have nothing to lose, and so go into the match playing their normal, attacking football.
Bah, disappointing.

Well, Man U had a lucky match, we all still know that Arsenal are the Champions and losing 1 game is not the end of the world.
And we will prove that when Man U come to Highbury.

Remember Pires at Pompey? Well this is karma finally catching up to them. Don't start acting holier than thou now Arsenal fans, you've gotten away with far worse so don't complain when it happens to you
