ps. i'm not sure if they have played again since but I do remember the last game I saw between them Man U won..
Well really it's quite simple. You see, its the epic battle, the epic struggle for domination. Man U have for most of the late 90's been the dominent force. Then Arsenal reclaimed its former glory with a win of the premiership and the FA Cup with a double. Last season Arsenal went undefeated and were champions again. Then this season Man U beat us twice in the league and stopped our run to 50 wins undefeated to 49... But the last match Man U Vs. Arsenal was the FA Cup final which arsenal won. The hatred comes from many places, such as the rivalry between opposing geographical positions within the country itself. Arsenal (London, South) Vs. Man United (Manchester, North) I'm glad to say it's not so much as a /deadlly/ rivalry as much as a friendly one.

Edit: Amsterdams a glory hunter!
