Giggs has his off days, especially this season. scholes is the type of player who whacks the ball from outside the penalty box but didn't see this from him since his return. what i see from Utd lately is the need to bring the ball as close to the goal mouth as possible which is a one-trick affair.
 
should Utd beat Arsenal this week, they would prove something...

seeing that FA cup could be man u last hope for a trophy, and Wenger always playing the juniors for FA cup - Man U just mite beat AFC this sat at OT + the fact they wouldnt wanna lose 2 games in a row at OT ....

Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Eboue are in contention for Saturday's FA Cup tie at Manchester United.
The Ivorian duo returned from the Africa Cup of Nations on Monday and are due to report for training today. Neither Toure or Eboue played in their country's final game in Ghana, the third and fourth place play-off against the hosts on Saturday, but they could feature at Old Trafford.
Arsène Wenger admitted before the Blackburn game that he was down to the "bare bones" thanks to injuries and international commitments. Manuel Almunia, Abou Diaby, Tomas Rosicky, Robin van Persie, Denilson and Johan Djourou were all sidelined for Arsenal’s 2-0 victory but Rosicky could return at the weekend.
"Kolo and Eboue came back today [Monday] so we hope to see them tomorrow to see if they're not injured," said Wenger at his post-match press conference.
"Rosicky, he looks better. Van Persie looks better, but he is still a few weeks away. But Rosicky maybe has a little chance for Saturday."
Arsenal.com will bring you the latest injury news on Thursday afternoon.
 
if you read Straits Times Tuesday 12/2, they documented how trailing teams eventually came up tops...

just a cover of how trailing teams, due to a turn of events (especially the faltering of the top ones), won the premiership eventually.

Utd did it twice: 1996/ 2003

Arsenal did it in 1998

Diaby - Why the Old Trafford tie will not lack intensity

With the Champions League around the corner and a Premier League title to fight for, some might expect Saturday's FA Cup tie between Manchester United and Arsenal to lack its usual intensity.
Abou Diaby disagrees. The French midfielder expects both sides to give it everything at Old Trafford and believes that the winner of the Fifth Round tie could have a psychological advantage when the title rivals go head to head at the same venue in April.
"I think we want to play well in every competition whether it's the FA Cup, the Champions League or the League," Diaby told Arsenal TV Online. "We want to win all of them because we are a big club and we want to win trophies. This Saturday is very important to us.
"Maybe a win will give us a psychological advantage. We just want to give our best and win the game."
Unfortunately, Diaby will not get a chance to make his mark in the FA Cup this weekend. The 21-year-old suffered a calf injury against Manchester City at the start of February.
"I took a kick around the ankle against Manchester City and my calf felt very stiff," explained Diaby. "I won’t make the match against Manchester United, but I hope to be back as soon as I can."
