ARSENAL v/s MANCHESTER UNITED.--off the field!!

TO ALL FOOT FREAKS, The heart beats faster.I feel the rush.I perspire and pray.I predict and prepare.I can feel the pleasure and the pain as the leather ball gets hit, time and again, sometimes in the direction i want, and sometimes the other.
The two giants of English football, Manchester United and Arsenal,curse, clash and confront...as the world wakes up for what has been termed as 'WAR'. At stake are not only the points but also pride and honour.
The "War of Words" between Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger has become a tradition in English football. The bitter, the better??
Before another huge clash I would like to amuse you all by quoting some of the previous confrontations between these two managers.
-------------------------------------------------
Wenger, 3 April 1997:
"It's wrong the league programme is extended so Man Utd can rest up and win everything."
Ferguson's reply, 5 April 1997:
"He's a novice and should keep his opinions to Japanese football."
---------------------------------------------------
Ferguson after Arsenal's 2002 double-winning season:
" They are scrappers who rely on belligerence - we are the better team."
Wenger's reply:
" Everyone thinks they have the prettiest wife at home."
----------------------------------------------------
Wenger, 28 Sep 2002:
" I am still hopeful we can go through the season unbeaten."
Ferguson, April 2003 with United top of the league:
" I'm sure they would love to turn the clock back six months - it might come back to haunt them."
----------------------------------------------------
And one of the best ones:
Ferguson claimed the behaviour of the Arsenal players at the end of a season's Old Trafford game was "the worst thing I've seen in this sport" and that they "got off scot-free".
Wenger hit back by telling Ferguson to "calm down" and added "maybe it would have better if you had put us against the wall and shot us".
----------------------------------------------------
And so it continues.........the fight of the foot, the battle for the ball, the war of the words and the survival of the fittest.
