Wow , Wenger a fortnight ago quotes 'We can do the quadruple this season' and barely 12 days later , 3 out of 4 trophies already wave goodbye to Arsenal .

he was great in the 2006 World Cup.

Gotta agree with you 100% here, against portugal he was different gear.

He was the only player who came away from the world cup from england with any credability

So, a Manchester derby in the FA Cup semi final. City managed to beat Reading in the end but it wasn't really convincing by any means.

Nonetheless, hoping for a good semi final. Just somewhat disappointed that the derby match is not in the final instead.

Too early to even consider this a possibility , but still , he's got to be kidding me if it were to turn true !

I've seen some false reports on the press. I want you to know that you will hear the truth from me. Love MU

From his twitter account. But I guess even still you never know these days. If he did join Serie A, he'd probably tear it apart. Serious lack of wide players in serie a.

Great day for me personally. First Pakistan ending the Aussies' long unbeaten run and now Utd grinding out a win in typical "stuff of Champions" fashion while Arsenal dropped points at WBA.

, Another poor performance from Arsenal, without even seeing the match i'm guessing that Arshavin was rubbish again.

while Arsenal dropped points at WBA.

Yeah but after seeing West Brom was actually leading 2-0, I'm kinda mad at the final result.

On the other hand, I'm delighted that Spurs drop points against West Ham. That at least give us some sort of breathing space ahead of tomorrow's clash with City.

Also, the relegation battle is sure heating up. Blackburn, in 13th are only 3 points off Wigan, who are in 20th position. Incredible!

I don't know about that but Almunia was probably one as he was at fault for West Brom's second goal. A typical mistake from Arsenal's keeper.

Same.

I swear Arsenal are the masters at digging themselves their own graves .

A deserved win over City and the scoreline should have been more emphatic than just 2-0!

Mancini clearly came to just get a 0-0 draw by parking the bus and never looked like scoring. Had to wait a long long time for the goal but it's worth waiting for I guess with Luiz scoring(again!) to capped off another great performance. Ramires also did well and scored a nice goal too.
