I am a die hard Man Utd fan but don't deny Arsenal play attractive football, yesterday's match was entertaining as expected. That does not mean that I admire them because admiration is reserved for the end game as well which is winning trophies. Every fan,team or coach aspires to play the TOTAL football that Barca displays and we all admit they're a team like no other.
Of course I watch Arsenal matches when I can, we are bitter rivals and engaged in a title race so that's only natural, it's not voyeurism. I, like Fergie, feel Man Utd will only be mentioned amongst Europes greats if we choke up at least another 2 CL titles to at least equal Liverpool & Bayern...AC & Real in a class of their own their.
It is hard to imagine that a team like Barca could have easily won the title the past 3 years in a row...the execution of their footballing philosophy is out of this world. Of course life is not perfect and spanners like Chelsea and Inter (possibly arsenal this season?) are thrown in every now and then to bring them back to earth.
If Barca are gotten out of the way, the CL race will be wide open. I think they'll come out in more devastating form than what we saw at El Classico
