Arsenal are now in:
“When teams start coming back on you like this, it can feel
like you are trying to walk up a escalator moving in the
opposite direction,
"It is an awful feeling because you never quite get to the
top. Last season, Arsenal put us under intense pressure
because they were winning every week. This year we are doing
the same to them."
Gary is also going to Highbury looking for a win, although
he admitted that a draw wouldn’t be a disaster:
"This is as big a game as you could possibly wish for,
"Maybe we would accept a draw because it would still be in
our hands. But it would be very dangerous to approach the
match thinking that is what you want. I'm certain both teams
will go out there looking for a victory."
He feels that playing the bigger teams has made the run in
better for United.
"People kept talking about all the big games we had in front
of us and they thought we would drop away.
"But this situation suits us. Two of the matches have gone
now and hopefully we can do just as well at Arsenal."
The statistics certainly back him up, the only team in the
top six positions in the league to have taken any points
from us are Chelsea.
