I was doing my normal reading up on Arsenal football club and keeping up to date with what is happening and I came across this beauty of a headline from the Manchester Evening News
Manchester United handed potential top four boost by Arsenal team selection
My initial thought was, uh oh, what have we done but any worry soon dissipated, it really was a pathetic piece that smacked of clutching at straws trying to find anything, absolutely anything, that they can grab hold of to make themselves feel more positive about their chances of beating us to a top-four spot.
The bottom line is that because we actually picked some of our senior players like Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette in the game against Al Nasr, they even dug up some tweets from Arsenal fans hoping none of our players got injured.
They obviously ignored the fact that no less than NINE youngsters played, they ignored the fact that in the build up both teams mixed in publicity and obviously did not realise the common acceptance in these sort of games that no dodgy tackles be done, oh, and it is an international break, what do they think the United players were doing?
The whole trip to Dubai was a huge success but the Manchester Evening News was playing to their audience and the best thing they could come up with is that we used some of our players in a friendly, it is absolutely laughable and if anyone can take anything from their opponents, it is us, we can take from that ridiculous article that Man Utd and their sycophants are a worried bunch and they should be.
