Indeed it was, although it's a shame none of their players could get nobbled before this weekend. God knows we can't afford anything other than a win with Arsenal's current games in hand over us. Still, with United's cavalier attitude, and Alonso + Sissoko/Mascherano minding the fort, hopefully we can stifle their attacks and sneak a goal or two. Not confident of that, though.

Anyway, let's hope that the Arsenal - Blackburn game tonight is just as entertaining as the Reading - United game. I'd love it if it was a gruelling, physical match which Arsenal eventually manage to win on penalties.
