Old Trafford for United-Arsenal

Old Trafford for Manchester United vs. Arsenal

What a treat for my first visit to Old Trafford and for a classic ManUnited-Arsenal game. After seeing new Spurs and Etihad stadium, it was great to be in a classic old stadium. Passionate fans hoping for a turnaround after a dismal season. Despite a slow start, United came on strong in the 2nd half and had numerous chances to pull out a victory. Our Treble Suite package included a very nice meal and excellent wines and great place to relax before and after the match.

Our home for the next 4 hours.  :)

Very nice champagne and wines.

Today's menu...

And wine list...

Yummy amuse-bouche.

A number of interesting guests including former United stars.

Someone is thrilled to be here. LOL

Delicious Caesar Tartlet, Crispy Anchovies, Confit Chicken with Parmesan Crisp and Quail Egg.

Spiced Cod Loin, Tandoori Potatoes, Curry Broth, Crispy Onion Bhaji.

£20 but no winner at this table.

And decadent Sticky Toffee Pudding to finish a really wonderful meal.

Large and noisy protest just below us.   Apparently the Glazers are not very popular here.

Time to head out to our seats.

United takes  1-0 lead at Half Time.   Back to the Treble Suite for the intermission.

Back for the 2nd half.

After Arsenal tied the match, lots of action at our end in the 2nd with numerous United chances to win.

Oh so close as the Arsenal goal keeper thwarted United's go ahead goal in the last minutes.

Back the Treble Suite to relax while the crowds leave.

Delicious meat pies are a post game snack.

And post game commentary.

What a very special day at Old Trafford.
