Yup.Rio will be back by then.In fact,he would have played a whole month before the big game against Arsenal.Originally posted by the Bear:Oct, Rio Ferdinand come back yet?
the defence of MUFC looks to be in a shambles without him...
Arsenal has managed well without Vieira and Campbell tho'...
It would be a great match then.. ofcos, Rio might need sometime to regain his touch after not playing for 9 months...Originally posted by soccerfreak:Yup.Rio will be back by then.In fact,he would have played a whole month before the big game against Arsenal.
I'm not a huge fan of Rio Ferdinand.But I must agree that United will do better with him around in the back four.
I watched the live match on ESPN. They look nervous in the latter part of the first half but it was all back to normal in the second.Originally posted by BeNo:(Extract from soccernet)
Thierry Henry scored one and set up two others as Arsenal stretched their unbeaten league run to an incredible 43 games in style with a 3-0 win against Blackburn......
And so the 'New Invincibles' march on, with the entire team bonding in a circle at the final whistle to mark their achievement.......
Next up Norwich away, followed by Fulham, Bolton, Manchester City and Charlton. On this form, there is no obvious end to their unbeaten run in sight.....
Hail to the whole team....

I can't say that I agree with you.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Cygan is more suited for the Champions League.He needs 3 seconds more to anticipate the ball.However, he is one of the more accurate crossers of the ball in the backline.He plays unhurriedly in the CL if you have followed his gameplay properly.Perhaps that;s why Wenger kept him.
My heart says so 2!!! *high-5*Originally posted by Poolman:If there's one place that can beat Arsenal , it's Anfield !
If there's one team that's capable of beating Arsenal , it has to be Liverpool FC !
