C. Ronaldo & Co Vs Gunners

While the whole world look with intensity into the EPL challenge between the Red Devils and the Gunners, another fierce battle arises between the two giants in the English FA Cup, one of the world's oldest knockout challenge in football competition.
The Gunners are doing exceedingly well in the League as they took a 5 points lead over Manchester United, already dropped 5 points from the last 2 matches. Ronaldo, the leading scorer for the Red Devils has not been inspirational for the Red Devils but with Rooney back after suspension, this game is dubbed as the DREAM SHOWDOWN.
Sir Alex Ferguson has previously said that the title challenge is still wide open but recent performance seem to suggest that the Gunners are the favourite instead.
With both team still on the run for the Champions League, this game is expected to be ugly.
Many has been saying about Manchester United repeating their awesome treble record in 1999 as more talented players are seen in this season. But Arsene and his men will be all out to spoil Fergie from putting his name in the history book once again.

Recently Ronaldo has been fined for texting with his mobile during the training. All this seem to suggest a lack of commitment and chemistry behind the door. But this whole season has been full of surprises, with Ronaldo being a truly remarkable player for the Red Devils and how Anderson as well as Hargreaves being able to fit in the team so quickly....so it should not be a deep concern for the Devils' fans. Arsene young guns are not to be looked down either. They have been performing excellently with Fabregras, Adebayour, Flamini, Walcott and many others all showing that they have improve from previous season. In fact, they have been playing beautiful game throughout the whole season.

So, expect this match to be full of excitement!!!!!
