Arsenal vs Manchester United: Arsenal's time to revenge the 8-2 debacle

The long ever boring international breaks, once again took toll. Well for the first time Wenger won't be groaning about how Roy Hodgson didn't protect his most valuable and fragile youngsters.

But again, how the hell was Walcott injured? I literally don't wanna think of it, more so whenever I recall that first minute goal he scored against Manchester United a while back.

Speaking of United, today represents one of the reasons I rush to mark my calendar whenever the English Premier league fixtures are out.

Manchester United's chickens are coming home to roost. Yeah I said that, i'm confident and convinced that today's the long awaited day when Van Persie's traitor ship sinks below Welbeck's red hot sea.

Why do I think Arsenal will pull off a great performance today? well lets take a trip down the memory lane; The year is 2011 August 28 and over half of Arsenal's first team players were out injured, while Fabregas and Nasri had moved on, that's exactly the same period when Wenger freely let go of Clichy and rely on Squillaci to take cover and dismantle any attacking threat from Rooney, young and Welbeck.

Well remember that? fast forward to 2014 22nd November, three years later and still Wenger is yet to make a resounding statement over the red devils, even when they had a music teacher in Moyes' name coaching them.

United are on a similar situation, where like we had Persie and Theo on that fateful day to rely on, they got Di maria and Mata and oh.. the old guard persie playing for the. Well how about a school of dolphin facing a herd of lions in form of Sanchez, Ramsey, Cazorla, Wilshere and Welbeck? pretty interesting huh.?

I believe I’ll only join the #WengerOut bandwagon, if we literally fail to punish United tonight. Van Gaal is a brilliant CV! his tactics and passionate stunts spell the ambition in the Dutchman. What I still believe is that if only Wenger changed a bit and deployed a different tactic in a number of games, not only during bigger occasions, we couldn't have lost points against Chelsea, Anderlecht and Swansea.

Why would you start feasting on an ice cream from bottom on your way up, while you could still attack the whole juicy piece from the top.? 4-2-3-1 is the ultimate answer whenever Arsenal comes to a kid's mind seated playing swansea against Arsenal on his play station.

It's time the manager employed dirty tactics and help win the fans' hearts, especially in these turbulent times for the club.
Danny Welbeck today hopes to line up against his former friends and family, whom some he's grown with for over five years. But who cares? the last time united beat us at home, this lad scored the winning goal soon after Van Persie had madly celebrated the equaliser.

We should expect him to forget all that at least for 90 minutes if he passes fit, and help his new classy family inflict a historic win against his former tormentors, of course a calm and collected celebration will guarantee him great reception from both sections of fans.
He has already scored five goals in 8 appearances for the club, two coming in the league.

Welbeck will obviously have a lot to bear tonight and at least give Van Persie an escape route, when all pundits shift their focus on the 23 year old England forward. having impressed in the International front, the manager will be hoping for a repeat of the same, against his former employers and silence Van Gaal, who has ever justified his move to sell him.

To be honest, Welbeck will have an emotional outing, and whether he hits the woodwork or misses some goal scoring chances, he faces an elephant in front of him, something which could work for us. If Ramsey keeps pressing forward and plays those sharp passes Sanchez' way, then we'll easily finish off United, hence give Flamini a great day on his 200th appearance for the club.

United defenders will be busy silencing Danny, but if we pass the ball towards santi and Ramsey way, then Danny will have a wonderful press conference after the game.
All I have to insist is, punish United! they took advantage of our rooky side and it's time Monreal,Chambers and Ox stepped up and did the same infront of our fans!!
