I don't think it's a requirement, but IIRC neither is pre-game handshakes but they (including Barca and Real) all do it. I think people will understand if Arsenal decide not to do it though

If we win tomorrow RvP will get his gaurd of honor from his old team. Think about it.

I have already

If that happens the club should issue an apology to the fans

that tottenham game was absolutely nuts but it f*cked over my teams chances of Champions League

Certainly keeps things interesting till the end. I thought Spurs would be the ones to drop points this week, not Chelsea. Gotta respect the fight back from Spurs, if they'd have lost it would have been a hard fight back into the top four.

Can't see Wenger not doing the guard of honor, it's their own fault really for selling RvP to United.

I really hope United lose tomorrow, it'll make for a crazy intense game at the Emirates next week.

I still don't understand why chelsea didn't give sturridge much of a shot down the middle with how much torres is struggling right now

Whoever signed off on the RVP sale , wenger/gazidis/kroenke which ever one of them did must be ashamed of them selves , regardless what happens tmmrw or next sunday utd have this title locked up its just a matter of when they get it now. We sold our soul to them , our captain , and got less then what aston villa got for milner. All out disgrace

however they feel, they just better not act like this result is any kind of surprise

I'd rather see United win tomorrow, and then play half of their reserves against us next week. It would make me feel a lot better about finishing top 4.

me too. just get a funny anti-rvp song going in the crowd while they celebrate and then get our 3 points and move on.

does manu need a win tomorrow or does a draw do it too?

Need a win, I think. They wouldn't play their reserves, anyway. I'm still going for a Villa win and it all on the line at the Emirates. Would be epic, and suck tremendously if we lost, but what the hell. I don't want to see a guard of honor.

Not sure, someone on Fox Soccer said they could clinch it tomorrow...but they never made the distinction of whether it was with a win or a draw.

If we can wrap it up tomorrow I can totally see a side like this for the rest of the season:

------Welbek--Hernandez-----

Cleverley---Powell---Anderson--Nani

Buttner---Evans--Smalling--Jones

-------Lindegaard--

If we don't you can expect to see this:

-----Rooney----RvP----

Kagawa--Cleverley--Carrick--Valencia

Evra--Vidic--Rio--Rafael

----De Gea--

So Liverpool are not going to internally ban Suarez like Ajax did with him previously and United with Cantona. The bigger joke though is Suarez asking the club to donate his fines to Hillsborough Charity. What an angel LOL

If the league is won with games to go, every team that plays the champions elect has to welcome them onto the field. You can youtube it, I believe Chelsea gave us a guard of honor in 2007 or something. Heinze was the captain that day. :lol:

That has got to be the most ridiculous thing that I've ever heard in sports. Now Im hoping they win today to see how Arsenal "welcomes" them lol.
