One of those days

There's a sentence in The Independent's report on the match which, in between all the lavish praise for Arsenal in today's papers, pretty much sums up the game:
Ferguson will need to analyse what went wrong.  Bad luck, for
sure, contributed. United, probably, had more chances. But nothing ran
for them until Rafael da Silva – a chirpy, impressive replacement for
the sluggish Gary Neville – smashed in his 90th-minute volley.
And I'm a bit short on time today so I'll leave it at that.  It was a great game of football, but not one that proved anything about Us, or anything about Arsenal.  It was a game where they got the run of the ball and scored their chances, while we didn't.  We had more possession, more shots on and off target and yet we lost.

One of those days.
