There are a lot of topics to be discussed in days to come from the weeks I was away but for the first opening of the mailbag there is not time like the present I figure. So here goes

I really hope we win or at least draw tonight. I can’t face seeing us get embarrassed again by a big club. The players need this tonight or it will really damage them for the rest of the season. I want to be proved wrong so much its unreal but I really can’t see our players beating them tonight. The likes of Gangster c**t lip, Ginger wanker, Shrek and that cretin Evra will want this much more than us. Physically and mentally.
This could make or break us now, I think if we loose we will find it hard on Saturday with Stoke, then harder still with the Chavs.
Bring some big times back to the Arsenal, let’s go out fighting! And please if were going to get cards lets make it fucking worth it no tip tappy bookings, get the fuck stuck in and hurt some of those c**ts
I agrwith a lot said here - though I think a victory is the only really acceptible result right now - for the reasons Mikey quite rightly suggests but also because right nowe at least anything less than Victory leaves us effectively closer to fither than first - or as close to it perhaps. Remember United have played one match less so depending on their match in hand if we do not win we almost certainly drop to second. IF we do not even draw we are really behind the eight ball as we will be five behind United
tied for second (second on goal difference alone) and will only be one point ahead of fourth and five ahead of fifth.
Now if we win we go four clear of United meaning their match-in-hand can't overhaul us three ahead of City four ahead of Chelsea and seven ahead of those c**ts in fifth.
As Mikey points out if we are to win something belief will be critical to making that happen and I think it's safe to say that if we win our belief will skyrocket. Draw it may rise a bit but lose and it will plummet. But since belief alone won't win it a win here is essential for me.
As to whether we'll win it again Mikey makes some very legitimate points, but this is not the United of the past five years let alone the United of the glory days of this rivalry up to 2003. I cannot see us being unable to be this United side. They are a good side certainly but not not nearly so good as any other United side I have seen all the way back to 96 even before that. The opportunity is there today period - we can beat United if we we play to what we are capable of. If we don't a lot of questions need to be asked I suspect about a lot of things.
There is no reason we can't get the three p[oints if we are as good as we believe - none at all so let's begin a new chapter in our history today with the win we all hunger for so frickin' much.[/quote]
