Picture the scene: Arsenal are top of the league and travel to the ground of the current champions. A win will take them seven points clear of their fierce rivals and will kill the champions chances for good.
Arsenal take the lead in the first half but self-destroy in the second half and concede a late winner. Our capitain (for Fabregas read Giggs) lashes out at Drogba and is fortunate to get a yellow card. Our best defender (for Vermaelen read Vidic) gets sent off late on and will miss a crucial derby (for Spurs read Liverpool ).
What will the headlines be?
Dirty Arsenal lack mental strength?
Arsene Wenger (read Fergie) then proceed to moan at every single decision of the ref.
Headline? Whinger Arsene did not see it.
United are bottling it and it was clear two weeks ago when we drew against Newcastle
I remember the game well because Giggs committed an absolute aggression on a Wolves player and Scholes tried to score with both his hands. No word was said in the media about the blatant cheating of Scholes or Giggs´ aggression.
The media is protecting Ferguson´s team but the moment of truth is here for his side. I know that we have our own worries but we should definitely fancy our chances against one of the most average United sides of the last decade.
