Well, I'm still totally amazed by Arsenal performance from yesterday.
Firstly, they showed respect. They respect 40-year old van der Sar and they respect three years younger Giggs so much that they decided the best way to show it to them will be not to shot on a goal and not to attack Giggs when he's on the ball, Arsenal should be a role model to many teams. They also showed they have abilities to be calm. Look at Rooney when Nani should have passed that ball to him, he was really angry. Look at Fletcher shouting at referee after some tackles in midfield, he was really angry. Sagna and Song were running happily and sometimes we could even see a smile, but sorry, Sagna after Rio's kung-fu style 'gimme that ball' play showed he doesn't like it in a difference to Kary Perry's kiss. I think they thought it would be unfair to try to win game at other team's stadium. Fabregas? He had 65 mnutes to put his shoes on, but he decided to do it after he came on the pitch and nothing couldn't stop him at it, even Rooney running with the ball towards him or Anderson trying to grab the ball rolling two meters away from him. Nothing. He was looking at his shoelace. Next, as you could see, Arsenal thought they can win that game with higher percentage of ball possesion, how silly is that? Even West Ham and Wigan know that it's good to shot on a goal. Sometimes. Arsenal probably forgot it yesterday, but - fair play to them - someone passed the ball too strong in the first half and they had one shot. Four yellow cards and about ten more fouls than we had - that's the way Arsenal do it.
Nothing new happened, Arsenal lost to United, in two weeks time they'll lose to Chelsea, some time ago they couldn't win at home with Tottenham. The only way to make them happier is to remind them that next summer they'll win Emirates Cup once again.
Arsene's tactics and the way of playing should be an example to many managers, last year Mourinho lost 0-1 to Barca in second leg of Champions League semi-final and that still gave him place in the final. Wenger's 0-1 was much better to watch, so really, well done Arsene.

If it wasn’t for a *fortunate bounce at the end of the first half, we would have gone in at 0-0 and the second half would have been easier.’
