Re: F A Cup Final

Crowie posted some stats from the RFO. Two interesting ones that he didn't mention were firstly that favorite had won 9 from 10 times (although there were admittedly a lot of mismatches). The second interesting stat (that really surprised me) was that Arsenal and United have been the second and third most disciplined teams in the League this season both with card make ups (yellow 10 , red twenty) less than 20 which would make me think twice about going high on any bookings market despite the presence of card happy ref and the famous animosity between the two clubs.

Other than that it has to be Arsenal for me. United have looked very flat for the last few games. Keane has had the worst season of his career and can't cut it at the VERY highest level any longer in my view. RVN has stuttered since he came back from injury and I wouldn't be surprised if he left during the summer. If Heinze doesn't start its a huge blow for the defence. This has to be the best opportunity Arsenal have had in recent time to reverse the poor record against United. The defence looks solid and the goals are coming from most parts of the field at the moment. The trends like Crowie says are with Arsenal.

I've gone with Arsenal at 2.7 ( a drifting price on Betfair)
