Why Arsenal and Manchester can reignite a ‘Grand Reboot’

THE babalaas of celebrating Arsenal fans hasn't even faded, yet it’s time to take stock of another dramatic season.

ACTION: Manchester United will be hoping to return to the more stable Sir Alex Ferguson era when they face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night.

They're really bottling it now (lol).

All that talk of bridesmaids had been laid to rest, and Daniel-san has finally shown Mr Miyagi a thing or two. Okay, I won't bore you with more ‘80s film references, as we get down to the serious business of predictions for next season.

‘But this one’s just finished?’ I hear you groan.

The thing is, I apparently enjoy being proven wrong all the time (I count at least eight spectacular misses this season ... but who’s counting?), so I might as well have another stab at it. Besides, as the Karate Kid has proven, comebacks are all the rage these days.

This season of remakes has also got me feeling nostalgic for one of the greatest rivalries in EPL history - between the Gunners and Red Devils. And it’s one I feel is already rebooting, with the roles of Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger to be played by Mikel Arteta and Michael Carrick.
