He's French for Petes sake! They're some of the most arrogant people on the planet.
Arsenal made that Cup tie boring and the excuse of a bad pitch is just lame. UTD played on the same surface and these people are "professionals" earing £40,000+ a week. They should be able to handle the surface they play on. Ruby players would laugh in their faces if they heard that sort of excuse. Granted the surface wasn't great but it was far from being awful, and I've seen UTDs pitch in a much worse state than what it was in that game.
UTD played well, but not brilliantly in my view. They looked better than they were because of the clot like performance that Arsenal gave which was similar to what happened in the Manchester derby the other week (UTD were bad, and City just capitalized and took the chances they had, good on them).
I'm so shocked at how boring the game as a whole was because Arsenal almost always give an entertaining game. Though we won 4-0 it would have been far more exciting if Arsenal played well and countered UTDs performance, where a goal from either side late in the game could have sealed the win, but it wasn't to be. Its just sad because Arsenal HAD talent on the field that didn't show any passion.
And being top in Feb doesn't mean you will be top come the end of the season. I think it could actually go to the wire this season like it did pre Abramovich FC era.
