Last Updated : 12-Oct-2004 by editorHe reckons the Gunners’ rivals are STILL shaken by last November’s infamous Battle of Old Trafford.
The Arsenal ace said: “The scenes at the end of that match were controversial and earned some of our players suspensions and fines.But we established a psychological stranglehold over United that day. You could say the sanctions we endured after that game were almost worth it.”
Pires, 31, added: “That’s nice. The English fans dream of seeing us going to Old Trafford to seek a 50th unbeaten game, against United. "
I could have sworn we beat them in an FA cup semi final later in the year,oh well, bring it on big mouth.
