This weeks Arsenal Times guest pundit Alan Rantson previews the weekends big match.(NB the views of Alan Rantson do not necessarily represent views of this august organ) Rantson:
Arsenal play brilliant football, its great t'watch - nearly as good as when I played football. They have lots o' skilled players, on their day they are magnificent, stupendous, untouchable, unbeatable, easy on the eye, wonderful, mind you they haven't won the European Cup.
Arsenal Times
Err yes Alan. But do Manure have any chance at all, how would you advise them to win?
Rantson:
Well its hard to spot any weakness in the Arsenal side at all, but if there is one weakness it is that have a lot of namby pamby foreigners who don't like it up them. So if United get in amongst them, ferrexample[sic] someone could kidney punch Ljunberg, another could leap on oneothe[sic] midfielders back, or kick Lauren really hard. Then United might just have a teeny weeny chance.
Arsenal Times
That doesn't sound very fair Alan.
Rantson:
Fair! Its a mans game.Y'cannaspect[sic]United to play fair and watch Arsenal bedazzle them with brilliant football whilst running rings arond them. Ooh noo!
Arsenal Times
Err- well thanks Alan I must say I can't imagine that sort of thing happening - after all Sir Alex is strongly opposed to such violence at Football matches. He has often said that someone could get seriously hurt doing that sort of thing. Anyway I am sure Red Card Riley will put a stop to any such behavoiur.
