At the top of the hour, Arsenal-Man United. The game for many years. Wenger vs Ferguson. Now, a contest between the "Bucs," desperate to close ground on fourth place Swine Chelsea and Arsenal, thirteenth, desperate to get any closer to the drop zone. Arsenal is in crisis. They play too tight. They have no belief in themselves. They do not play young and free. Their supporters are so negative, their owner so inept and disinterested. A new, young manager, a former Arsenal captain. They need an injection of enthusiasm. They need a rah-rah "How 'bout them Cowboys!" manager after so many years of the dour, straight-laced Wenger. Is Arteta that? He has youth but is it youth tipped with fire? I have not seen it. United will win today.
