HOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Well ManUtd have become well.......unpredictable.
After losing to Chelsea and Liverpool, both rather off-form and poor teams, they draw Arsenal in the league cup tie. Well, my first reaction is: Well, this is the beginning of the end. To be honest I was actually expecting some traumatic scoreline like Arsenal 4-1 Man Utd but then I see that Man U have fielded 7 defenders. o.o Now I'm thinking: Oh great Arsy are gonna win on penalties and United's Devils are gonna be even more tired for the league game. No way in hell are Man United gonna score.
They scored twice.
The da Silva brothers, Fabio and Rafael, were suddenly wingers while John O'Shea returned to his old position of defensive midfielder while Rooney retreated to midfield. It was more of a 4-5-1 formation than a 7-1-2 that it seemed to be. Still, 4-5-1 is not an offensive formation in the least, and United's defense has been rather shaky all season long. I thought they would attack, attack and attack, playing something like a 3-4-3 with Berbatov on and....yeah.
Anyways, the first goal came from a van der Sar throw, obviously. Fabio da Silva then set a move which ended in a Rooney cross for Hernandez, whose header was palmed away by Almunia. Fabio was on hand for the equalizer for 1-0 in the 28th minute.
Arsenal, who are now out of the Carling and European Cups after losses to Birmingham and Barcelona respectively, now seemed out of the FA Cup. And to think that 2 weeks ago they could've won a Quadruple. However, they came back in it, particularly van Persie who was sent off at the Camp Nou. He, Nasri and Koscielny all had shots that the Dutch giant Vandy Sar saved, in addition to a near-Wes Brown own goal that  the goalkeeper handily parried.
But then United got their second when Djorou's clearance went straight to Rooney's head, and needless to say, it was a goal. 2-0 in 50 minutes, while playing with 7 defenders. Not bad.
Obviously Arsenal basically reverted to a 2-5-3 after that. Everyone went forward but van der Sar was brilliant again in keeping a clean sheet. Why is he retiring again?
And then...
The End....
Manchester United 2-0 Arsenal.
BOO YAH!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and btw United are facing Bolton in the FA Cup final after the Trotters beat Birmingham 3-2 thanks to a 90th minute Lee Chung Yong strike.
