Manchester United 2-1 Arsenal

After the crushing disappointment that was last Tuesday I don't there's ever been a better time to lose a match to Manchester United. It's hard to feel depressed about Sunday's game when the manner of the defeat and the consequences of it were less dramatic. Despite Arsene's protestations that we were in the league race I think that it was gone the moment Drogba netted his second at Stamford Bridge.

As it happens I think we played really well on at Old Trafford and when it came to open play may just have shaded it. Clichy had a brilliant game (in fairness both lefts back were probably the best players on each side) Hleb had his best game in some time and Gilberto played the best he has all season. It was also nice to see that after 2 months of bad penalties and dodgy offside decisions that went in tandem with our general lack of form a poor reffing decision for a goal finally went our way.

But we lost, ah well. It stinks. Not as much as Anfield though.
