There are many times when a win is deserved win. There are many times when a win is fluky win. And there are times when a win is just a win. At Old Trafford on Saturday there was the kind of win that leaves you shaking your head and asking 'what just happened' - it just could be the kind of win that translates into yet another title!

Sure, hyperbole at its very best but even the most die-hard Manchester United fan would've have said the following after 59 minutes of a one-sided contest versus Arsenal, 'I'll take a point from this.' It wasn't robbery in the true sense, just a light pick pocketing but what is has done is paint over some nasty cracks that appear to be developing around the Red Devils. These cracks that Wayne Rooney and Co conveniently brushed over will eventually develop into some serious buyers remorse...trust me!

Let's be honest here - it's not easy to be critical after a win because the bottom line in professional sports is the sweet nectar of victory and at the end of the day, United did what was asked.... but c'mon!

I can hear the screams of outrage from Manchester - 'good teams find a way to win even when they are playing badly' is the old adage however there is a whiff of bad brie that's hit the super sweaty stage coming off this United team making even Arsene Wenger's nose twitch.

From top to bottom there are flaws and they are the same areas of concern that we saw during the Community Shield. Ben Foster looks terrified and apart from one save to deny Robin van Persie (yes, a very important save), he exudes the confidence of a Massimo Taibi (did I just type that out loud!). Wes Brown is suspect to anyone who has pace. Michael Carrick is one bad game from being transfer listed because of a behind the scenes tantrum and the $48 million man, Dimitar Berbatov...he can't even get 10+ minutes.

One can't help but wonder why SAF would leave out one of the most expensive strikers in the HISTORY of football for a 'B4' match - oh, that's right, Fergie has made a mistake and as usual, he can't admit it. Perhaps the sitter in the 94^th minute will convince you that the echo of Juan Sebastian Veron continues to reverberate around Old Trafford - 'what a waste of money' goes the song. I just wonder how long Wayne Rooney can carry the team for.

And to the losers go the spoils! Arsene Wenger and his Gunners will look at this match and wonder how they left Manchester empty handed. Other than the wobble when Manuel Almunia had the kind of blood rush that David James is famous for and Abou Diaby expertly fired into the WRONG net - Arsenal looked and felt like a side in control of the game. Please don't include the last ten-to-fifteen minutes when the Londoners were chasing the game and United were getting counter-attack opportunities in the overall scheme of things.

The Gunners dominated the best parts of this contest because of their midfield and one player in particular, Abou Diaby. He was a monster, a beast, a freak and if he wasn't a reincarnation of Patrick Vieira, I've got to lay off the mescal. That performance was epic in nature, quality and stature. I can't ever recall seeing two players booked for fouling the same player within a three second time span but that's what happened to Rooney and Brown as the Frenchman dragged to drag his team back into contention. This is a player that we must pay attention to in the future!

Wenger's post-match complaints about getting kicked off the park smacked of sour grapes but it is great to witness the beginnings of another Ferguson/Wenger feud - how we've missed them over the last few years. What it signifies is that Arsenal is perhaps closer to United than many would care to admit north of the Watford Gap.

Ultimately what this game said was that no matter how many eyes are trained on the same match, we can all see something different but a win will always be a win. On Super Saturday, United supporters saw the never-say-die character of their team. Arsenal fans were given a tantalizing glimpse of the promising future their club holds. The neutral fan saw a ridiculous game of Premiership football. I witnessed United struggling to find their identity in the post Cristiano Ronaldo era and I looked at an Arsenal still learning how to put the 'big' matches away - what did you see?

Until then, I'll see you at the far post.
