Yes, this is very sad indeed.

.....and so f*cking true....!

Even had a Spuds fan telling me earlier in the week that he hopes we win for that very reason

Not sure if this has already been posted but they are showing this on the standard Fox channel in the states for the first time (Not Fox soccer). Expecting another 8-2 perhaps?

Football Sunday on the Fox network has got a bit more interesting.

The network announced Wednesday that it will carry the first live broadcast of a Premier League game on network television in the United States before its airing of the N.F.L. National Conference Championship game between the Giants and the San Francisco 49ers. The American football game, with the winner advancing to the Super Bowl on Feb. 5, is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m., Eastern.

And it is not just any soccer game â€” it is the century-old rivalry between Arsenal and Manchester United that Fox will show beginning at 10:30 a.m., Eastern, with a 30-minute preview show from its studio in Los Angeles. In the studio for the show will be the latest addition to Foxâ€™s soccer team, Rob Stone, along with Eric Wynalda and the chat-show host Piers Morgan (huh?!). The match, at the Emirates Stadium in London, is scheduled to kick off at 11 a.m.

Earlier this season, the Red Devils spanked Arsenal at Old Trafford, 8-2, but that was before the Gunners turned around their season. Arsenal is now in fifth place in the league, but is coming off two consecutive losses. After the most recent defeat, last Sunday at Swansea, Arsenalâ€™s striker Thierry Henry, who is on loan from the Red Bulls of Major League Soccer, became embroiled in controversy when he swore at one of the clubâ€™s supporters after the game. Henry, who has also had run-ins with Red Bulls fans in the past, apologized in a statement to the Sun:

â€œI was really shocked and disappointed on Sunday, and not just at the result. After the final whistle of a very tricky game, I insisted the whole team go and applaud the Arsenal supporters. When I arrived in front of our own fans, I couldnâ€™t understand the abuse the team were getting from one of them. I wanted to tell the fan in question that we need their support not abuse. The sentiment was right but in hindsight could have been better expressed. So I would like to first and foremost apologize for using inappropriate language to that particular â€˜supporterâ€™. I didnâ€™t intend to be malicious or threatening and am aware that it could have been said in a calmer manner.â€

Hopefully today will be the day that people wake up and stop deluding themselves that we have a squad capable of winning or a management team capable of getting us back to winning ways.
Same, drinking is the only think I'm looking forward to sunday!

Monday morning is another matter

Just keep going until Monday morning... that should do it..

My Dad has decided tomorrow he will walk around the stadium to find a Sky man with a camera so he can tell everyone who he is fed up of Wenger and the board.

if you hang around the Armoury long enough you are likely to get a TV camera in your face

You know, as much as I'd enjoy publicly saying why I want that old clod out of the club, this is my Dad we are talking here. Something is bound to go wrong.

Just in case some of you were feeling a little short of confidence with regards this match, here's a stat that will have it returning in an instant (or maybe not):

Mike Dean is the referee. We haven't won any of the last 10 matches in which he's been the man in charge.

I fear a 2-1 defeat.

all i hope is they play with some pride for the shirt, win, lose or draw. No fucking hiding, play with some bollocks.

Stan James has a special bet of Rooney to score and United to win (any score) at 11/4.
That's far too good to turn down.

Got no chance of winning with Djourou at right back, how we took sagna for granted all these years
