Go on the gunners!



The FA Cup final between Arsenal and Manchester United at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium will be as much a trial of mental strength as physical and footballing ability.

And this is why, without being prepared to risk the mortgage on it, I would tip United to win if I was pressured into a prediction for Saturday's game.

The tactics will be very similar to those Manchester United employed in last season's 1-0 semi-final win against Arsenal at Villa Park and when they ended The Gunners' 49-match unbeaten run at Old Trafford earlier this term. It was physical, high-tempo football in which Manchester United got their foot in, hustled Arsenal, and never let them settle for a minute.
