Manchester United left back Patrice Evra has launched another scathing attack on Arsenal ahead
of Monday's crucial Premier League clash between the two heavyweights at Old Trafford.
The French international, who has previously dubbed Arsene Wenger's team as
"babies" and "shameful", suggested that "nobody will remember
them in 10 years time" due to the recent lack of silverware in the Emirates Stadium trophy
cabinet.
Many would argue that the last genuine "Mr Arsenal" we had was TA06, that rare breed of a one
club man, while others would say that PV04 and TH14 were club heroes in their own equally memorable
way. To me such a player is someone who you cannot imagine playing in any kit other than our red
and white, can we say that of any of our current squad?
Not quite but the back of a fag packet but pretty close Not too many used paper napkins have a
lifespan of 10 years. But the one signed by Lionel Messi on December 14, 2000, to secure his move

Ipswich Town's Andros Townsend celebrates scoring the opening goal against Swansea – it was
his first goal for the club. That was as good as it got for Roy Keane's side, who crashed to a 3-1
defeat at home, to ensure Town's worst run of league defeats in 15 years.
There is almost unanimous outrage at the dismissal of Chris Hughton. From a football point of
view it looks unsustainable, all the more so when instability and hysterical appointments have been
the reasons behind the decline Newcastle over the past ten years but also because by any same
measure Hughton was doing a great job.

Patrice Evra, who is not a popular guy amongst Arsenal fans after saying our Champions League
semi-final battering at the Emirates was like 'men against boys/babies', has rubbed further salt in
the wounds.
Arsenal's last trophy came in 2005 after beating United on penalties. Since then, United have

Roy Hudson welcomes his former side Fulham to Anfield this evening, but Paul Konchesky, who
followed the Liverpool manager to Merseyside in the summer, might get a less warm reception from
the Kop after his mother became involved in a bizarre internet row with some of the club's

Time for an encore!?
Right now is 'make or break' time for Arsenal. The last match they played was against Man
United, and they lost it. The tag of not being able to beat a big side is sticking for now, due to
that.

sidelines.
