Wow Arsenal got lubricated!

3-1 … hhhmmm that’s a pretty decent scoreline if you are a Manchester United fan… I wonder if that’s not blown the stuffing out of Arsenal for the rest of this season? They had homeground advantage and they still couldn’t make it count. But on a happier note Egypt came through for me with a [...]
