Dear Arsenal Supporter, ARNIE! Long time, no chat. What’s up, buddy? Are we talking that disaster at Old Trafford the other day? I BET WE ARE! Our intensity and organisation were at a high level on Monday night but overall I think that Manchester United defended very well. “Defended very well” is your way of [...]
