Wembley had a horrible pitch then.
You'd rarely see the games great dribblers have a good game on that-then turf,plus the building was slowly collapsing around the fans feet didn't help as everyone was concerned rether the stadium was going to collapse on top of them.

EDIT: RVP is doing his medical now!
What the hell has he been doing all day?

Any word on the medical?

I'm not worried, if Hargreaves can pass it, anyone can

Latest rumours are he's failed his medical due to back problems. Apparantly carrying 10 men for the past few years has taken it's toll!

If I hear/read that one more time I swear something is going to die ie most likely one of my brain cells.

Speaking of people dying, there's a story that RVP was fortunate to escape a life threatening situation earlier today as his London home burnt down. The police believe it was 'Arsene'

I hear that story is going to be in RvP's biography that comes out next week about his time at Arsenal. Sadly it hasn't got a title yet.

I'm intrigued by the reasons why RVP has/will join United.
I don't think its all financial (but it obviously plays a part) and with Arsenal securing some good deals this summer I thought this could be ,finally,there time to get some silverware in the cabinet.
Maybe Fergies admirable quote earlier in the season persuaded Robin to consider his options.

I think the money has a lot to do with it.
City would have offers the trophies but he would have had to sit on the bench regularly.
At Man Utd he earns broadly the same and he gets to play week in week out.

I think it would have been pointless for RVP to join City,it really was a toss-up of either United or Juve.
With Juve having there usual question marks hanging over the clubs head and the fact they didn't compete financially with regards to both fee and wages then I guess United was the only choice.
I'm still surprised another foreign club didn't enter the bidding, mainly Barcelona who i still think they miss something up top even with Villa,Messi and Sanchez.

The United striker force looks in great shape,which cannot be denied.
The youth of Welbeck and Hernandez will get there fair share of games while Rooney and RVP will be the mainstays.
United will most likely not rely on RVP in the same vein as Arsenal,with United other quality striking outlets giving the Dutchman good rest.

Berbatov is off though.But who will pay a player who's on 100k a week plus a signing fee of 5 million on a 32/33 year old?,no one at the moment it seems.

Don't forget Pedro too, he was out a lot of last season and they missed his share of goals too.

Utd do look strong in defense and attack, though its the midfield thats still lacking imo - that's where games were lost against City in the run-in and the CL last season.

What is that all about? Seriously?

Just a neutrals opinion on the RVP transfer. Despite always wanting Arsenl to do well in the race for the title, I think this signing has blown the title open, giving Man U the edge over City. The best thing about this signing IMO if the fact Ferguson and Wenger thrashed it out between themselves. I know this has been reported in the papers, but the significance of this is massive. When we moan about clubs being bought and controlled by businesses and egos, the fact that the ManU and Arsenal hierarchy allowed the 2 managers to sort this out speaks volumes IMO, and is great news for fans of both teams.
I think it shows what respect the clubs have for arguably their greatest managers ever, and to be fair to the boards of both clubs, they should be applauded for handing over this responsibility to them (I think it should happen more often but as we know, football is business)

Manchester United wont be signing Kaka permanently or onloan.
The rumours emanated from Twitter and they have no grain of substance or truth.
There have also been no reports from Spain concerning this deal,where you'd think they would be far more in-the-know.
Guillem Balague has also denied such interest from Manchester United.

It's just been on Sky ... Gill has confirmed United have been offered Kaka on loan for the season. The decision is currently with Fergie ...

Blimey.Well that showed me.

I dont think United should go for it.
Kaka really has been poor since going to Madrid and like most of the Brazilian superstars he seems to have put on abit of weight.

Hm, they've just played exactly the same piece of news minus the Gill/Kaka bit ... which means they might have realised it was Twitter nonsense. We shall see.

Would be interesting. It depends whether or not he can adapt as a player and take up a deeper position like Carrick (or indeed conserve his energy like Scholes). He has the creative skills, it just depends upon how adaptable he is.

Of course, it all might be baloney!
