My 2nd favourite debate-Arsenal vs ManUtd.

The Gunners vs the Red Devils has always been a firecracker issue,both on and off the field.A meeting of these 2 high-profile teams usually produces more controversy than good football,which is expected from such an encounter....But the debate goes further more than just two teams playing each other...It's much much more than that.Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson have never really seen each other eye to eye and that has clearly spilled onto the fans.One of the major examples is in my hostel room only...Me(a die-hard Arsenal fan) and my roomie Pallav(an equally die-hard ManUtd fan)....we have one of these debates almost every day.....my team is far better than yours,your team can't play,your team has got no flair etc etc etc..You would expect us to get tired of it but we never seem to lose the enthusiasm of fighting each other for the sake of our fav teams...ok,we dnt fight but then sometimes it gets really heated up...However,there are some observations you just can't deny....As a team,Arsenal are a much better team when it comes to flair of passing..However,Manutd are much better at creating effective chances and goal-scoring opportunities..they are defensively much better than Arsenal which is one reason why they usually go through.However,Arsenal's football is an absolute eye-soothener,a treat for football lovers all over the world..No one will say that they love watching ManUtd's style of playing but would definitely want to adopt Arsenal's fast and one-touch passing game.On their day,Arsenal are a force to reckon with while Manutd have enjoyed a relatively more champion's luck where they have just about scraped through to a win or a draw on several occasions. I just wish that ManUtd fans could be a bit more open and learn to acknowledge good football. You have got to understand that it's not always about the scoreline.When a footballer retires,he is remembered for his style of playing,for his immense contributions to the team,for the way he played football,not for the no, of titles he won with a club...No doubt ManUtd are far better at winning titles than any other Premier League team and kudos to them for that...but then,it's time they played as a team just like Arsenal do and not portray their individual brilliances on the pitch and forget that they are there to play as a team.Well,this is another never ending battle which can never be sorted out,no matter how many blogs I write about it or Pallav writes about it,no matter how many titles these two teams clinch...as I said earlier,these two teams have become something much much more than Football....and I believe the only solution is that both of them play good football to treat our eyes and refresh our minds
