Arsenal or Manchester Utd..Who is or were better?

[Exiled in Exeter]

I think in recent history Manchester United were better due to their consistency in the 90’s.

But Arsenal are much better than Manchester Untied now.

sorry?? a poor premiership is that the one with Kezman (more goals than games in holland), Drogba (star of champions league), half of the French team, the worlds hottest prospect- Rooney, Hollands hottest prospect- Robben, Spains hottest prospects- Fabregas and Reyes, Steven Gerrad, Xabi Alonso, Rio Ferdinand, Djbrill Cisse, Damien Duff, etc etc The best managers in the world-Wenger, Mourinho, Benitez, Ferguson, Robson etc.

poor??

Yes, poor. Yes I grant you there are some decent players and it IS exciting to watch but it's a bit like the Harlem Globetotters - lots of fun and fancy tricks but no real substance.

When Premiership sides can start dominating European competitions - or even just reaching a few finals then I will admit that it's 'good'. Until then by all means enjoy the specatcle but don't swallow Sky's hype about the 'Best League in the World',m In terms of football strength it's probably joint 3rd with the Budesliga.

drogba- star of uefa cup not champions league

rooney- WORLDS hottest prospect?! maybe

best managers- there are better around

best players- there are better around,
hence are teams don't do aswell in europe

Just because you say there are better around, doesn't make us a poor team. Arsenal are currently better than Man U and Chelsea, this doesn't make Arsenal or Chelsea poor, it just means they are not the best.

I've often wondered which team is better. The Man U team which won the treble in '99 or this Arsenal side. It's a hell of a question. Didn't Man U win the league by 18 points?!

Arsenal are a much better team to watch. But Man Ure were a better team because they were strong all over the park. Arsenal's defence is a bit suspect and Jens Lehmann can do some stupid things at times (his poor positioning and not paying attention to the game was the cause of Middlesbrough's third goal). But the Gunners are a much better team going forward.
