Arsenal fan Jeremy Livingston has forced Manchester United to update their website after the eagle-eyed Gooner spotted an error concerning the Red Devil’s FA Cup record.

The United website had claimed that the club had won the FA Cup “a record 11 times”. However, in thrashing Aston Villa in May, the Gunners racked up their (actual) record-breaking 12th FA Cup final win.

And they all lived happily ever after! The End.

    Fair enough. Not really news, or worthy of an article, or a comment, but I’m bored, are you?

    I have more of an issue with them referring to themselves as ‘The Reds’.

    FA Cups – Arsenal 12, United 11.
    4th Place Trophy – Arsenal 8/9/10(?) – United 1.
