It’s more than just 3 points. (Match Preview)

This was supposed to be the title decider? Right. Everybody was talking about this game and its influence on who win the league. All arsenal fans were so anxious about this game in the last 4 weeks. Now, it’s a different story all together, our aim now is to get our second spot back instead of thinking about winning the league. Four weeks in football is very long and we gunners fans now know that very well. 

Although we can’t win the league anymore, this match is very important to us. Remember how the unbeaten streak started, from disappointment of not winning the league to something special and unthinkable. It all started against Southampton that day and why can’t it start against united on Sunday.  Everything is possible and with good planning, next season will be great. Am been too optimistic you would say but it can be done and if one man is capable of doing it, it’s the BOSS.

Our recent record against united is very poor, only one win in ten games. The last win was at the emirates when Nasri scored a brace. We also had a very bad record against Chelsea but we managed to end that by beating them. I can see the same thing happening on Sunday. All is over this season but we can start now for next season. We want to see the players going for it, playing as if this game is the title decider. Come on Guys we can do it.

For a team like Arsenal, our head to head with united in previous seasons is disastrous. In our last 5 games, we lost 4 and drew one. In those 5 games, we played 4 at old Trafford and only one at the emirates. Our last goal scorer against them was Thomas vermaelen’s deflected goal at the emirates.
