There are a lot of Arsenal fans that will be hoping that Man
United (and Robin Van Persie) will not be playing their best as they have
already won the Premiership title, and hopefully will be suffering from a
hangover after all that celebrating, but Arsene Wenger is not counting on them
doing us any favours.
One thing to keep in mind is that United could still break
Chelsea’s record for the most points gained in a Premiership season, not to
mention that RVP is now in the driving seat for the Golden Boot, so they still
have sometjing big to play for.
Wenger said: “It’s easy to ease off, yes,”
“I do not hope too much. It is a special game, always, a little
bit because naturally the stress is not there any more.
“Your tendency is to relax a little bit. The fact is they might
continue to go [for it], or because it is just the next game. I think in two to
three games they will ease off. Whether they want to or not.
“You are still on the high for the next game. It would be a big
mistake for us to think they will ease off straight away on Sunday. It can
happen in two weeks.”
It is a very difficult for all of us with the return of Van
Persie. I guess there is always the possibility that Ferguson will leave him on
the bench out of respect, but I wouldn’t count on that either….
