Btw, we still got to meet Arsenal at old trafford again right? for EPL.
I only remember seeeing an away game against arsenal.
Yeah we have already play in their home in November and almost beat them as well if not for the Gallas injury time goal which resulted from a foul on Brown but wasn't given...
Anyway, Wenger already started his mind games...
Wenger jibe at Fergie's nomads
Arsene Wenger took a swipe at Sir Alex Ferguson yesterday as the pair were drawn to meet again in the juiciest tie of the FA Cup fifth round.
Wenger could not resist a dig at the deal struck by Manchester United to play a friendly for £1million in Saudi Arabia less than a week before last Sunday's 3-1 fourth-round win against Tottenham.
The Arsenal manager said: "I have never done it. It can have a longterm impact but in the short term you can suffer in the next game as you travel, you come back, you need time to adjust and you switch off when you are away in a different country. So the focus could go a little bit and you can suffer in the next game."
United fell behind against Spurs at Old Trafford but fought back to win and tee up Ferguson versus Wenger for the 35th time since the Frenchman arrived in England in October 1996.
Their rivalry has intensified again this season after losing its edge when the Gunners slipped out of the title race for three years.
But the clubs are now locked in battle at the top of the Barclays Premier League and will renew hostilities at Old Trafford in the Cup.
Arsenal beat United on penalties after a goalless FA Cup Final three years ago, but Ferguson has enjoyed some memorable victories over his old foe in the competition.
Paul Scholes scored a semi-final winner in 2004 to end Wenger's hope of winning The Double with his 'Invincibles' team.
Five years earlier, Ryan Giggs settled another semi with his incredible solo goal in the 109th minute of the replay.
wow.. this is wicked.. no doubt its kinda unfortunate, but its only a matter of time we will face them and the sooner the better.. winner to go on to take the cup.. xD
When are they playing?
its all fixed
We almost beat them at their home. I think this one should be exciting. But SAF wants more trophies before he retires....
