The last time that..............

[Dipper]

.................Arsenal won the first 4 league games of the season was 56 years ago & we won the title that year.


And the last Arsenal player to score against David Seaman for us until Wiltord did it yesterday was Siggi Jonsson(do you remember him windyhill?) 14 years ago.


A beautiful start from the us this season & a good win yesterday when we weren't playing well especially in the first half, apparently Wenger said at half time 'Do you want to win the title or not?'-I don't know how many times in a season you can use that one but IMO it beats doing your block & shouting at them & abusing them liek certain other managers are prone to do.

Okay, I'll bite.

8 championships in 11 years.

Works for us.

Siggi, spiky blonde hair. Probably have the goal buried in the video cabinet somewhere.

(ahem) did I mention any names?


But I think it's fair to say that if Wenger manged Man U & Fergie managed Arsenal (with their corrsponding budgets) that Man U would at least be doing the double every season with probably a few trebles thrown in for good measure.

Don't know about that Dip. But I would say its bollock freezingly cold in Manchester - perhaps the lads just appreciate a huge spray of heat to keep the circulation going. Thoughts on the AW - Sir AF 'freaky friday' move shinner?

Freaky Friday? Another fixture change?

On the other hand, if it involves setting up a boxing ring with Fergie in one corner and Wenger in the other, I'm all for it.

We just have to figure out if we should do it before or after the United vs Arsenal match.

I never did say that Fergie was the "form slump? better get out the aremotherapy kits out" type of manager.

The last time we beat United they went on to win the league.
