Arsenal feels for Sir Alex after defeat
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has offered his thoughts to Man Utd manager Sir Alex Ferguson, after United were trounced by city rivals Man City on Sunday evening.
Arsenal had a trouncing of their own earlier in the season, when they travelled to Old Trafford and lost in shocking fashion by 8-2.
Wenger, though, feels sorry for Ferguson.
"It's a surprise," Wenger said. "But France nearly beat New Zealand in the rugby and that was a surprise.
"Like when we lost 8-2, the big scores have no special meaning, it only means something special happened in the game.
"When you are in a position where you have to attack with 10 men against a good side you are vulnerable. It's not that you lost three points, but the emotional aspect of a result like that remains in your head."
