Gallas stokes flames ahead of United clash

Defender William Gallas has stoked the flames ahead of the FA Cup clash this evening against Manchester United.

The French international called the United players arrogant and said that their antics during a Christmas party would never be allowed at Arsenal.

Gallas said: "They are a strong team with lots of experienced players. But, sometimes, they think they're too good. Too arrogant, yes.

"It can make you complacent. We understand that problem. We know we have to score goals, be strong in defence and kill teams in the first half.

"Our squad can win things. And I know that it will be difficult for Manchester United to win."

Talking about the Christmas party, where the wives and girlfriends of senior players were barred, but other girls were there, Gallas said: "It would not happen at Arsenal.

"We have dinner parties with the wives and girlfriends. It's hard to understand why they did it."

Gallas went one step further by saying that he would be treating Cristiano Ronaldo just like he would if he was facing any other player.

He said: "It was not easy against him but it was not that difficult either."

This guy is the genuine article :-) Yep, United are too good. And, they are arrogant too. The way they finished Arsenal off was nothing if not arrogant. Go Gallas!
