What's He Smoking?

Hargreaves opines on the quality of Manchester's offense and defense. Last time I looked, Arsenal scored 3 goals (it is a bit churlish to call an own goal a beautiful piece of play) and MU 1. The box line showed that Arsenal outshot the Red Devils as well. It's a draw, Owen. You'll have a chance to talk more around Christmas time...

clipped from msn.foxsports.com Owen Hargreaves felt Manchester United controlled Arsenal's "so-called beautiful football" with ease in Saturday's 2-2 draw at the Emirates. "Arsenal kept the ball and had a lot of possession, but they were never really threatening. Football is about scoring goals and winning games," said Hargreaves, now fit again following a niggling knee problem. Hargreaves added: "They keep the ball and try to play that way, but when a team is as good defensively as ours, you can keep them at bay because we played very tight together. "Both of our goals were from really beautiful pieces of play and theirs were a bit more scrappy."
