Apart from the opening 10 minutes, Arsenal totally overwhelmed Manure. 2-1 looks tight (especially an injury time winner) but there's no denying Arsenal was, clearly, the better side. Rooney's theatrics and Ronaldo's time-wasting tactics were shameful and takes away the shine from the huge potential and match-winning abilities.
As said, Arsenal is probably not going to win the League after league defeats at Bolton and Newcastle and the inability to win while clearly on top (at home to Newcastle). This win, however, got us bragging rights and, more importantly, a greater sense of self-belief. A group of up-and-coming players against has-beens.
Opening up the title race and ensuring an exciting finale isn't of interest to me since Arsenal is not longer to be in it (I am a realist). The Champions League is of utmost importance, giving the tottering south London neighbours a stuffing comes a close second.
If Arsenal can win the CL and FA Cup, it may well be a dream come true.
