    From soccernet.com:

    For the Scot thinks the men from Highbury may become so concentrated on preserving their unbeaten record it will eventually grind them down.

    'Arsenal have the added incentive of going undefeated and they will all be fully charged up trying to make sure they don't lose a game,' said Ferguson. 'But I know from past experience that is a big burden to carry. I was with Rangers in 1967 when we went unbeaten right to the last game of the season and eventually lost.'



    Spare us the comparison between the Scottish League 40 years ago and the current situation in the EPL today. I don't think many associated with Highbury, if any, are too concerned with going undefeated. A bonus it is definitely, but the title is all that matters ultimately.

    Sir Alex makes a comment about going unbeaten and the Arse are all in a tizzy about "mind-games" and the like. BRILLIANT!

    Aaahhh, I wouldn't worry too much. It's not like Keegan is Arsenal's coach, anyway. This stuff doesn't phase Wenger, and I would have thought that SAF learned that in '02.

    Dear Sir Red Nose,

    I have recently learned that the likes of the hard stuff (i.e. whiskey, scotch, etc.) is to be banned in the UK come next month. I certainly hope this won't negatively affect you............I'm not quite sure if my vesion of mind games or his are more pathetic.

    Ah, that Fergie, grasping at straws with this weak attempt at playing mind games. Too bad it won't work. We're getting our trophy back. :)

    If you read further down the soccernet article, he laments the plight of administration on Leeds and other suspected clubs. He has the audacity to say he heard Arsenal in a similiar predicament of administration for next year...what a load of dung...yeah, the guy is hitting the scotch a little too hard...

    what an arrogant twat...

    Arsenal is like a well-oiled machine right now. Everything is running smooth, so there really isn't much to say. Your lot on the other hand... :)

    It must be something in the air today, because in addition to the rantings of the Scottish lunatic (He "read somewhere" that Arsenal would go into administration next year. Right. He read it in the SAF Times in My Head that only he has access to), we also have the following from the French contingent at Stamford Bridge:


    Makelele thinks Henry should go to Real:

    (That would certainly make your life better, eh, Claude?)

    and Petit seems to have become confused on how many points Chelsea are behind:

    http://www.foxsportsworld.com/content/view?contentId=2159236

    (I guess Chelse gets more points for a win now or something)

    Aaahh, you've got to love the slow sports news day in the UK

    Re: Re: Here we go again with the trite Sir Red nose talk...

    C'mon Motter, quit being so disingenuous. It's the article that clearly states that "Sir Alex has decided it's time to start the mind games." The comment about going unbeaten was within that context.
    Now did Sir Alex say, "I'm going to start the mind games." ? No, of course not but the whole gist of the article is that his comments were intended to be as such.
    In other words, Arsenal fans are responding to an article that mentions "mind games." It's not like there was just some innocuous article where he mentioned going unbeaten and we all automatically invented the mind games part.
    Blame soccernet.com not us.

    Just about every other site out there is calling it the same thing. Everyone knows what he's up to-desperation tactics.

    That's my whole point. Every article is calling it "mind games" not Arsenal supporters.

    I couldn't get to the article but here's what is on display at the Times website:

    Respectful Keane signals the start of title-race mind games
    By Oliver Kay and George Caulkin
    It was this time last year when their manager called a team meeting at which he instructed his players to "go out and get at Arsenal", not only by winning matches, but by questioning their resolve

    at least keane has given up on this season. throw in the towel now you arrogant twats.

    Looks like Sir Ass Fergie has put his foot in his mouth, oh for the millionth time, when he should've been concerned about his own team...pathetic outcome to draw to a downward spiraling Leeds...go get yourself a scotch, you arrogant twat!?!?
