I just found these on Maxxed Football Forums, and all credit goes to them and especially mbovo for posting these. These are not torrents, or passwords, etc. These are direct downloads of some of the greatest United v Arsenal games ever!
EDIT: MODS Please let me know if I should take this down.
Arse vs. United, Feb 25, 2001 (http://knockout.extra.hu)
The 4-2 at Highbury, where John O'Shea/Cantona scored (http://arsenalmanu.extra.hu/)
April 2006 United vs. Arse (http://manuarsenal.extra.hu/)
Enjoy!

Thanks!! The 4-2 is one of my favourite United games. Even though I didn't think we would win the league, when Zida-,er, O'Shea scored I went crazy, similar to Kiddo when we won our first title under Fergie.
Any others like these?

Is the first one the game where we killed them 6-1 ?

Yup. I've downloaded it but only get sound so assume I'm missing a codec?
WMP (11) says "acquiring codec" when I go to play it but I still get audio only. It's probably 'cause I'm on a relatively new laptop and haven't installed any yet.
Don't suppose someone can point me in the direction of a good codec pack? Can't remember where I got the ones I d/loaded onto my desktop.
Cheers.

Just use the VLC Media player... plays virtually anything. You can find it at download.com

What Johno said. It's the best media player out there.
Once again, all the credit for this goes to mbovo. I'm just the messenger.

No prob. The last link isn't as "incredible" as the first 2 matches, it's from last season when we beat them 2-0. Henry was rested until the ~60th minute I believe, as Arse were looking towards the CL Final. But a win over Arse is a win over Arse, no matter the situation.
There was also that fantastic goal by Rooney, when Vidic went in on a HUGE tackle, freed the ball, and Silvestre hit an inch-perfect cross to Rooney in the box to bang home. Lovely goal.
EDIT: If you guys are interested in more, certain cappers have been releasing a bunch of games in the last few days. I'll post over the next batch, which are some torrents for all our European finals. These include the game over Benfica in the late 60's, Barca in the early 90's, and FULL COVERAGE of the CL win (I've been looking for this for years now!)

Look forward to it.
Is it me or is the audio for the 1st half of the 4-2 Highbury out of sync?

Excellent links. Downloaded very quickly for me, now all I need is the 99 FA Cup semifinal replay and my collection of legendary United-Arsenal matches will be complete.

I think I got you hooked up in a few days. Someone at Maxxed is working on getting that capped into a torrent, I'll post it here.

Nothing yet mate. This just happened to be a series of United releases that came all at once, I figured some people here would like them. There is a post by me in the Spurs match thread of the classic on 9.29.2001, here it is again.

I hope it's at a decent speed, it went up a few days back so it should be ok. Other than that, nothing new. Hopefully the 1999 Replay gets capped soon, I'll post it here.
