On Saturday, walking time bombs Manuel Almunia and Sebastien Squillaci were on hand again to throw a grenade into manager Arsene Wenger's dreams of the first piece of silverware since 2005. On the same afternoon as Dimitar Berbatov pulled United from the depths against Bolton Wanderers, crippling mistakes made comeback strikes from Andrei Arshavin and Robin van Persie moot.
A small gap in points separates them. It is, however, the gaping chasm in attitude that will ensure Ferguson's 'unconvincibles' are spraying the champagne in May.
