i wouldnt mind seeing lift the trophy (unless against us) but thats because Arsenal represent English football well and i guess we should be proud to see them outclassing Europes best. but my reasons for not extending the same half hearted support for Man U is not just cos there city rivals. unlike arsenal man u have the worst PR reputation when you think of the personalitites most visible in the club Ferguson and Keane- as well as there commercial money first corporate image. (ever been to Old Trafford?- its like going to a Vodafone sales show). Arsenal on the other hand have a likeable manager and while i'm not so sure about Viera as a person at least he shouldnt be locked up for beating up 16 year olds and somehow theyve got to where they are by probably spending less than us over the last 6 years.
