The love in continues
So Manchester United effortlessly brushed aside a strangely ineffectual Arsenal side and still Wenger and Fergie gush nice words about each other. True words but strangely out of place given their history.
But these two ties, along with last season's FA Cup tie which United won 4-0, have shown us hat the gulf between the two sides is still massive and while deep down Wenger appreciates this, Fergie perhaps recognose the Arsenal for what they really are.
Lamented foes fallen on hard times and in need of a kind word now and then.
Wenger saw Fletcher's red card and agreed it was harsh! Wenger, the same Wenger who has seen nothing on the pitch for the last decade and a bit surely not getting soft?
But the fact is there is little to say about the Arsenal. Over the two games they were as threatening as butterfly cakes and bowling on the village green.
As ever Fergie is the master and Wenger the student and as a student he has a lot to learn about winning things. Anything.
Like any Arsenal fan I would welcome the Carling Cup or the FA Cup. A trophy is a trophy and while the bank manager may appreciate lengthy European cup runs I'm pretty sure the players would like a medal or two to show for their achievements
