Manchester United survive a scare - again.
Being a hardcore Manchester United hater makes it hard to talk neutral about them.. but for the sake of football I'll just try. Any football fan will surely remember the 2003-2004 season in which Arsenal won the title unbeaten, but not many will remember the events which led to it - and some similarities in the Man Utd camp at present.
Man Utd don't play that pretty but they get the job done. Villa could've beaten them at Villa Park.. leading 2-0 but ended up throwing away the win in less than 5 minutes. West Brom nearly made it too (Man U were quite lame that day) but missed a penalty (to lead 1-2)and later psyched out. They played with one less man against Spurs for 15 minutes but somehow held on to a draw. Man U could have got beaten but somehow didnt. Its been 21 games already.
Rewind Arsenal 03/04: Ruud smacking the bar against them in the closing seconds at Old Traford. Lehmann concedes a penalty against Spurs in the 90th minute, which Robbie Keane made it 2-2 and seconds later Defoe bursts down the right with a clear cut chance to score the winner - but somehow blasts it over. Arsenal 2-1 Leicester City final match.. down 1 goal then comes the supposedly Pires dive which lead to the spot kick. Arsenal could have got beaten but somehow didnt.
Obviously now, I really don't want Man U to go the entire season unbeaten so to keep your bragging rights intact, Wenger - you really need to beat that old Scot!
1-0 Nil To Arsenal.
