Is this what Arsenal did today? United, Liverpool and Chelsea have played like this in away European games for years and have been accused of this by the footballing connoisseurs from North London.
Well of course the answer is no, but it's funny seeing so many Arsenal fans crowing about their performance because they used the same tactics they've criticised for years to get a result.
Arsenal have actually added a bit of tactical acumen and defensive solidity to their team in the last year and they're reaping the benefits. Great win for them tonight against a good Dortmund side, and they showed a solidity and discipline that seems to have been lacking in big games in Europe, and you've got to give Wenger and the players a lot of credit for that. Well played.
Maybe when other teams go out and play with a similar mindset they'll finally start giving them the credit they're due?
Arsenal are going to be a big test for us on Sunday and I'd make them favourites on current form even though it is at Old Trafford.
Anti Football.

Wenger use to be the worst at it.
I remember when we beat Arsenal 3-0 under Ancelotti at The Emirates, Carlo's tactics basically nullified any goal threat Arsenal had. Arsenal passed it about but created nothing all game and we brutally killed them off but Wenger was going on about Arsenal morally won
He did the same in the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge when we won 2-0, but Ballack quickly put him in his place.
I hate it when people think there is one defined way of playing and anyone who does otherwise is committing some footballing sin, its arrogant beyond belief.
No the worst one is Maureen. Slated Spurs for "parking the bus" yet spent his whole career doing it against Barcelona.
Also Mancs we didn't park the bus yesterday so this article is really void.

The article doesn't say you parked the bus so your comment is void.

You said we played anti football like you did in past which is completly untrue. We played it on the ground like we normally do. So every reply is void because I am right and your wrong.

You mistaken that for me showing you up as usual. I can read maybe you need more practice learning football as you're out of your depth at the moment. Ramsey average
