Even with possession football, a top side should not look out of breath with 20 minutes to go.

They're not out of breath, they're chasing shadows. When morale drops you feel a lot more tired. Just because a team starts to get dominated in the last 15 minutes, it doesn't necessarily mean the stamina has gone.
 
City definitely playing for the 0-0, Arsenal to score any minute now then City are up brick creek.

Very true - that's where home advantage can help, a lift from the crowd can make a difference.
 
Arsenals strategy...commit everyone forward then foul the runners off the ball when they get hit on the break. All safe in the knowledge the ref will never take action.
 
At this stage of the season, a Ferguson team in Emirates Marketing Project's position would be throwing everything at getting the 3 points. Instead, they're basically playing for the draw now.

fudge off City. Don't mind battering us, but when it come to fudging Arsenal, you play brick.

Guess we were still a threat to them when we played them so it mattered.

Think most of the city players now realise that the title is beyond them and also that that means that Mancini is finished so no reason to play on for him either.

I think if Utd do win the title this season, then it's Fergie's best yet. That Utd team on paper is nowhere near as strong as their best teams and yet they turned around an 8 point deficit against City and are now comfortable favourites. Bringing Scholes back was also an inspired move.
