Arsenal v manchester united 22/11/14 5.30 Kick off

[Ollie the Optimist]

if we can keep this to another 8-2 Im counting that as a win.

Arsenal 2 (rafael own goal x 2) - Manchester United 8. (Van persie x 8)

[Marc Overmars]

About time we beat this lot but I'm not expecting much. Couldn't even score against them last season when they were rotten.

[Niall_Quinn]

Depends who the ref is. If we get someone who at least makes a decent pretence at being fair then we'll grind out a bore draw. Otherwise Arteta will get sent off for wearing the correct kit and we'll lose.

[mr_brighterside]

our saving grace is united are pants right now too

is fallacy going to be available? with their attacking options and our defensive options I think we could see 8 exceeded!

[Letters]

Can't bear to watch.
Reckon it'll be a draw, as we're at home.

[Xhaka Can’t]

United's strike force and our defence?

We'll murder them.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

2-8

or

3-6

or

1-5

[Ralpheroo72]

0-3 Gretzky hat trick

[Bumble]

Wow this thread is early. We don't even know who is next to get injured while away on international duty.

I think this will be a draw as neither team can face defeat.

[mr_brighterside]

we've found a way to embrace defeat quite a bit actually!

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Wow this thread is early. We don't even know who is next to get injured while away on international duty.


Guessing the score every week is now the highlight of our season.

Well done wenger.

[Injury Time]

We've given up the title so may as well give them 3 points #whogives, is the pre-match Wenger pep talk.

I'll be there, wishing I'd settled for a curry and a film instead; RvP has only scored 3 this season* so we will gift him back into form with a hatrick and exchanging shirts with Alexis as they walk out the tunnel to start the match 1-4 (Alexis with ours of course).

*no idea if that is true or I dreamed it tbh

[Globalgunner]

A tenner for anyone who can accurately predict what our line up will be......or at least what our back 4 will be. Arsene always keeps us guessing. Clever man.

[Marc Overmars]

He'll probably play Bellerin knowing full well Di Maria could give him a roasting, then he'd hold the performance up as proof as to why Monreal should play CB and Chambers RB.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

A tenner for anyone who can accurately predict what our line up will be......or at least what our back 4 will be. Arsene always keeps us guessing. Clever man.

Kenny Sansom and Gus Caesar in for Chambers and Monreal

Eddie McGoldrick for Flamini

Other than that same team as against Swansea

Chris Kiwomya and Kaba Diawara on bench

[Niall_Quinn]

Campbell :rose:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Campbell :rose:

Kevin, Sol or Joel?

[AFC Leveller]

Montreal at CB + an out of form and knackered 19 year old rookie at RB against Di Maria and Rooney.....

1-2 to them. Wenger's lack of balls against Man ure will be a key factor and we'll lose.

i think united's defensive injury crisis make ours look like a walk in the park. blind is now injured along with jones, rojo, evans and carrick. plus de gea has a broken finger. with all these defensive injuries on both sides it has a hallmark of a 0-0!!!!

[fakeyank]

Dont care about the score as long as Van Persie gets kicked in the nuts.

[Globalgunner]

I predict Flamini will get a yellow card sometime in the 35th minute and promptly get sent off at 70 mins after which. Sanogo will come on while we are 2 goals down. Im pretty certain this will happen. The first yellow card and Sanogo at least.

EFA-you underestimate the genius of self destuction <_<

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

All the more embarrassing when they beat us.

You never know, Sanchez might be the only decent player on the pitch and sneak us something.

[Niall_Quinn]

Does anyone know if there are any bargain hotel rooms available for this game?

[Niall_Quinn]

Durham wants this postponed :haha: He's having to find ever more ludicrous ways to get attention.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2838897/Arsenal-vs-Manchester-United-postponed-injuries-clubs-countries-need-start-working-together.html

[Globalgunner]

From the point of view of a United fan, you can see where hes coming from
From the point of view of a journalist who has already penned a report of a glorious 0-2 win for the Red Devils and doesnt want to have to rewrite it. You can also see where hes coming from.

The man is obviously a buffoon.

I have seen some silly articles in my days.. heck, I have even read the sun when I traveled to the UK, but this has taken the level of absurdity to another level!

[selassie]

This is the weakest Man United side we are going to face in years, they are a total mess. Sad thing is we will still probably lose this game!

[Bumble]

I know its not exactly using internationals as a form guide but we have 6 England internationals and I think having seen most perform. I really fancy our chances now on Saturday. United have more defensive problems than we do and I know they have Di Maria, Rooney, Mata, RvP and Falcao but we have Sanchez, Welbeck (who I think is getting better and better), Walcott, Wilshere and the Ox (who I think should play).

The back fours will probably be Chambers, Merte, Monreal, Gibbs v Raphael, McNair, Blackwood (or something), Shaw and when Raphael is your most experienced defender.... you know you are struggling.

We will thump them and RvP will be sent off. 4-1 to us.

[Marc Overmars]

I think it will be a shitfest between 2 very average teams.

Our mental block against Utd coupled with the fact that out of all the players you mentioned for us, only Sanchez seems like he gives a toss will mean that we will draw this.

[AFC Leveller]

The Mental block is more about Wenger being a chicken againts man ure (esp at OT) than the players IMO.

a 0-0 wouldnt surprise me. the big teams will all beat Man u this season (at home) which makes it more frustrating.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Don't think it's a mental block, I just think we are very easy to play against, we have scored three goals in the last five games against United because they know how to snuff us out as an attacking threat.

On Saturday they will come for a draw, and even with massive personnel loss in defence they will get at least a point because they won't push up looking for a win, without Blind they probably won't try to engage in a midfield battle, they will sit deep allow us to dominate territory and Posession and then look to break when the opportunity arises and if our midfield lacks its usual discipline than that will leave our defence looking vulnerable.

Where as Wenger will probably say believe in your quality and you will win the day, don't let tactical restraint be a barrier to your innate quality

He has the tactical philosophy of Ned Flanders' beatnik parents "we've tried nothing and were fresh out of ideas"

[Marc Overmars]

Giroud and Arteta available.

Theo out with a groin strain. :rolleyes:

[Injury Time]

Giroud and Arteta available.

Theo out with a groin strain. :rolleyes:

He's not allowed to play again his new January team :ninja:

[Bumble]

Our mental block against Utd coupled with the fact that out of all the players you mentioned for us, only Sanchez seems like he gives a toss will mean that we will draw this.
I disagree Welbeck works hard and I think he is getting better. The best thing about Giroud getting injured is that we signed another striker who I think is more suited to the way we all want us to play.

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo out with a groin strain.

They're getting injured between injuries now :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Utd's injuries not quite as bad as they were pretending. De Gea, Carrick, Di Maria, Shaw all in training. Who are they missing? Rojo and Blind? They are better off without them.

[Bumble]

Evans, Falcao and Smalling suspended.

[Marc Overmars]

Their defence is made up of turd burglars but I'm sure they'll come out of this looking like GOATs.

[fakeyank]

Wenger on Theo: "It is a little tight groin"

:haha: :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Wenget unsure over the fitness of Welbz.

[Niall_Quinn]

Evans, Falcao and Smalling suspended.

Evans, by their standard, is a miss. Sanogo has scored more goals than Falcao this season and Smalling is Smalling. They're in good shape. The media has set this up so if they lose it was because of a supposedly weakened team and if we lose then we lost to a supposedly weakened team. Mind you, if we lose then we deserve all the flak that will be coming our way. If we lose we'll be below the worst Utd side I can recall.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenget unsure over the fitness of Welbz.

He wants to play Bif?

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger on Theo: "It is a little tight groin"

:haha: :haha:

It's beyond belief is what it is. Something seriously wrong somewhere.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's no surprise in this instance, of course Theo will probably get 290284848 tight groins for us though.

[Globalgunner]

That's no surprise in this instance, of course Theo will probably get 290284848 tight groins for us though.

If he has been getting that many whose been taking the ones he cant handle. You?. Letters? Pls share.

Nothing like an injection of positivity hey! :d

[Marc Overmars]

Tbh that rancid record should go further back and include 2008 when we lost twice and drew once.

Did the double over them in 2007 though. Henry. :cloud9:

Did we win? :unsure:

[Master Splinter]

We better be winning 4-0 or I'm putting Strictly on tbfh.

Wenfer will almost certainly go with the tried and tested and 100% proven Monreal at CB, Chambers at RB and Flamini on the pitch. So this will likely be a 2-2.

If he somehow develops a sane streak and plays a more balanced and positive team, we could get a win if Sanchez and Ox continue their recent form.

WUMger gonna WUMger though.

Strictly it is.

Not a strictly fan to be honest


Nothing wrong with it, it's certainly comparatively more high brow than most of the other Saturday night shite, all of it looks incredibly hard to learn and I'm sure when it comes off, it comes off well just not remotely interested

[Master Splinter]

Big fan of Strictly me.

No tightness there. Sadly.

I'm going to take a guess at picking the line up

Szczesny
Chambers
Mertesacker
Monreal
Gibbs
Arteta
Ramsey
Wilshere
Cazorla
Ox
Welbeck

Subs:
Giroud
Sanchez (if not fit Podolski)
Sanogo
Rosicky
Flamini
Bellerin
Martinez



What I'd have

Szczesny
Bellerin
Chambers
Mertesacker
Gibbs
Arteta
Wilshere
Sanchez (Campbell if he's not fit)
Rosicky
Ox
Welbeck

On one hand I can see Van Gaals thinking in that he has opted for the most experience down the flanks where most of our pace attacks will come from, rather than trying to put Smalling in at centre back, but two against three in the midfield could be a mismatch unless he's banking that either Ramsey or Wilshere will drift wide to protect Chambers against Di Maria

[Globalgunner]

The genius (Wenger) strikes again. Who would have thought that the same team that was shit in the last 2 games would be picked again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We'll cement our Forever Fourth credentials with a win here; seems the likely result in that case.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The genius (Wenger) strikes again. Who would have thought that the same team that was shit in the last 2 games would be picked again.

We didn't have Wheelchair for those games tbf and Arteta went off injured in the previous one.

I just don't think we're going to 'play well' whatever team we pick.

[Globalgunner]

When I look at the back 4. All I see is the same team. its beyond stupidity.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Not sure I'd trust Bellerin much more than Chambers against Di Maria

The sensible thing to do would be to stop the full backs bombing forward (shaw and smalling wont be getting forward much) and focus on stopping crosses coming in Rooney and Van Persie will have the beating of Monreal in the air all day long.

Arteta and Wilshere were the reasonable midfield choices, I'd have personally picked Rosicky over Ramsey because Ramsey is playing and acting like a cunt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

When was Jamie Redknapp a striker?

Sky Sports Drone. :haha:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

When was Jamie Redknapp a striker?

Sky Sports Drone. :haha:

Jamie Redknapp was still playing the last time I watched pre match build up and post match analysis.

[Munchies]

COYG

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Our best chance of winning come from Fellaini's elbows, if they are noticed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

Oh FFS Gary Neville co-commentating.

[Munchies]

FUCK VAN CUNT

[crashley]

What ref have the FA chosen to stitch us up this time then?

[Munchies]

AND ITS LIVE

[crashley]

And its fucking Mike Dean, FFS

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shaw. :lol:

[fakeyank]

What do you know. You havent managed 3000 games and made 10,000 substitutions before

:haha:

That was hilarious!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis' pressing. :haha:

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia nearly letting Alexis in!

[Master Splinter]

United haven't won away from home this season.

Fuck.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbz with a chance, closed down, bit of a scuffer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG's header. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good start tbf.

Ox takes out Shaw.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great cross from Ox considering where he was, Welbz heads it over.

[Globalgunner]

Ox running the show. Welbeck.....not so clever

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis using Fellaini as a training cone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair driving shot, made it easy for De Gea.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbeck shoots from distance, De Gea saves again.

[Master Splinter]

Need to make this count.

The 5-minute good play period might not come around again.

[Munchies]

need a goal

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How can Wilshere not score?

[Master Splinter]

Wilshere :doh:.

We should be 2-0 up at least.

[fakeyank]

Wilshere you POS

[Munchies]

Clear fuckin pennn!!!!!

Wilsh shudve scored

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's really poor from Wilshere, Alexis was there for a tap-in.

Shaw off, Youngy on. :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Has anyone got a decent, upto-speed (i.e. not minutes behind) stream?

The only half-decent one I can find is in some incomprehensible dead language.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Not being biased at all are we Gary?

Nailed on penalty

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

That's really poor from Wilshere, Alexis was there for a tap-in.

Shaw off, Youngy on. :haha:

I think that's twice he could and should have squared it, but he wasnt looking up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wazza freekick, over it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bif's hair. :doh:

[crashley]

Dean gave us a free kick :wacko:

[Niall_Quinn]

We're keeping them in it. We should be several goals up by now, this Utd team is nothing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dreadful from Wilshere.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another attack we've created for them. Crap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG airshot. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Soooooooo negative against a team with no defence.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're so shit at corners and crossing it's beyond belief. What the hell do they do on the training ground, apart from get injured?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fight fight fight!

[Niall_Quinn]

What a cheat Mike Dean is. He really is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilshere gets the GHEL treatment.

Neville crying.

[Niall_Quinn]

Was a foul on Wilshere long before all that shit happened. But there's no way Dean was giving it.

[crashley]

TBF thought he was gonna send Wilshere off, had the perfect opportunity


What a cheat Mike Dean is. He really is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Best shot we've had, De Gea still saves though, from Alexis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good effort from Di Maria.

[Niall_Quinn]

TBF thought he was gonna send Wilshere off, had the perfect opportunity

Wilshere's a fool, but Dean has been letting everything Utd do go and he knows it's going to wind players up. We have to make sure we don't hand the win to this poxy ref.

[fakeyank]

We're so shit at corners and crossing it's beyond belief. What the hell do they do on the training ground, apart from get injured?

They talk about team spirit, togetherness and handbrakes..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fucking ridiculous from Ramsey.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Fuck off Ramsey

[Niall_Quinn]

That's woeful.

[Niall_Quinn]

Basically it's like we're not here to do anything beyond keeping possession. And we aren't great at that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Chambers.

That all stemmed from a suicidal square pass from Alexis.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Soooooooo negative against a team with no defence.

Might have something to do with them running through an absent midfield

[Niall_Quinn]

Offside - corner given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Smalling. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Officials are bent as hell.

[Niall_Quinn]

BLitWtbf

[Niall_Quinn]

We've done it again, rolled out an invitation to an inferior team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbeck chancing it.

[GP]

How are we not 8-0 up ffs?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great pass from Wenger.

[Maestro]

We've done it again, rolled out an invitation to an inferior team.

red carpet treatment every time, we're so nice

[Niall_Quinn]

How are we not 8-0 up ffs?

Must be the sleeping pills Wenger insists they take before kickoff. There's no urgency here, apart from the odd moments when Ox goes off script. Fucking awful football we play now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Us. :lol:

Score goals when we're shit, can't score when we play well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. :rolleyes:

[Master Splinter]

Should be winning easily.

We'll just back off now, get more nervous as the game goes on and play out a shit 0-0 or perhaps worse.

Strictly time tbf.

[Globalgunner]

Should be winning easily.

We'll just back off now, get more nervous as the game goes on and play out a shit 0-0 or perhaps worse.

Strictly time tbf.
Plucky United to nick it 0-1 more likely.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Plucky United to nick it 0-1 more likely.

That would come under "or perhaps worse".

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great turn from Ox.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG is the only target in the box we ever have. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Go for the FIFA goal you berks!

[Maestro]

we're the comical Ali of football teams, should be 5 goals up wtf

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilshere is doing my head in.

[Master Splinter]

So much pressure. So many chances.

Now score a goal FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And now he has died again dribbling it for too long, again.

[fakeyank]

Think he is out for the season. Been terrible today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis can't find a drink. :haha:

[Maestro]

keep holding on to that ball and not passing it off quickly, and jack's career will be over soon

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who is Blackstock?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wheelchair off, Cazorla on.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Take that dick head Ramsey off as well

[crashley]

they always kick us off the park too, without punishment!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Gibbs OG.

FFS.

[fakeyank]

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

Injury and then go 0-1 completely against the run of play.

That should be a consolation for them.

[Niall_Quinn]

Turf it in boys - we're done.

Offside - goal given. Officials bent as hell.

But dire defending of course.

[Globalgunner]

0-1 Gibbs OG.

FFS.

Should have been to the bookies. Might as well as made some money in my misery

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ches off injured, Martinez on.

:rolleyes:

[Maestro]

we're the comical Ali of football teams, should be 5 goals up wtf



:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neville creating a new rule, the edge of offside.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Am I watching Rainbow?

Because there's a massive Bungle on the screen

[Master Splinter]

Every fucking game.

We should just start with 9 men and 2 on the bench.

Fucking ridiculous.

[fakeyank]

If we cant beat this Man Utd side at home, then we might as well stop playing. Pathetic.

Wenger cant fuck off quick enough.

[Maestro]

fuck this shit, off to burn a tree

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I thought we were fucked then.

Dreadful offside decision.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Marginal offside and Gibbs who has been caught out of position so many times this game caps his performance in fine style

[Niall_Quinn]

This is what you get for playing at 50% all the time. 50% is nowhere near good enough in this league. But that's how Wenger has them playing, 50% effort, 50% pace, 50% passing, 0% crossing (well you can't have everything).

Always looking for the ridiculously complex when simple will do. Like just now when a simple through ball would have been a goal. No chance of that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis header, De Gea saves.

[Niall_Quinn]

Marginal offside and Gibbs who has been caught out of position so many times this game caps his performance in fine style

Linesman looking right across the line and kept the flag down. Only one explanation for something so trivial handled so incompetently. Not the first time ion the game from him either.

[Niall_Quinn]

Now they pick up the pace. What a fucking stupid tactic. Waiting to go a goal down before you play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla the scrote booked. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

All Ramsey does is shoot now.

[Niall_Quinn]

That Young bloke is ridiculous.

[Globalgunner]

I sub left to make. Sanogo in the 70th minute

[Marc Overmars]

Just got in

Arsenal :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

This is pathetic. We have forgotten the very basics of the game.

[Maestro]

Just got in

Arsenal :haha:

should have stayed out

[Niall_Quinn]

FUUUUUCK!

Look at it! We have the ball, player looks up and all he sees is fuckers standing around. It's fucking dire.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla shoots, straight at De Gea.

[Niall_Quinn]

Even that cheating cunt of a lino can't say that one was onside.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Just checked the score. Furious with myself for passing up on yet another license to print money.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pathetic effort from Santi. What a waste.

[Niall_Quinn]

A 1-1 loss is the best we're getting here, if we are lucky in some way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was awful from Cazorla.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cunting tippy tappy - always the answer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Time to dive I say.

[selassie]

Given up with this team, they are pathetic

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis with a stinker of a freekick.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fellaini avoids his 5th red card. What a scrote. But handy when the ref is on board.

[GP]

Neville is fucking awful

[Niall_Quinn]

Alexis does a Rooney. Harsh, but fair.

[Niall_Quinn]

Now we can't manage a goal kick. Back to a blank canvas with this lot. Embarrassing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP hauled off, Wilson on.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Fucking Ramsey again

[Niall_Quinn]

Tippy tappy yields the usual result. Fuck all. Another waste.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking Ramsey again

It's not just Ramsey - this team is a shambles, there's zero purpose to anything we do. It's all improvised, made-up shit that will only ever come off 1 in a hundred.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey hauled off, Bif on. :bow:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Best thing we've done all game, haul Ramsey off

[Niall_Quinn]

Well let's hope Bif has forgotten everything he's been taught.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You know, I don't fancy our chances of scoring.

Giroud heads over.

[Xhaka Can’t]

It's over until Wenger is gone.

[Niall_Quinn]

It's over until Wenger is gone.

It really is. How can a team with so many decent players be so ineffective? What does he see when he's watching us play like this? He must be lost in some cuckoo land.

[Niall_Quinn]

Streams died. Must be some sort of tribute to the team.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

It's not just Ramsey - this team is a shambles, there's zero purpose to anything we do. It's all improvised, made-up shit that will only ever come off 1 in a hundred.

Granted the whole team performance has been lacking, but Ramsey especially been guilty of poor distribution, being caught in Possession and giving away cheap free kicks

[fakeyank]

I hope they interview that black dude who is Wenger's biggest fan along with that old dude pissed off at Wenger..

[Globalgunner]

United didnt even need to bring the whole team down to win this one. They could have just played Rooney Fellaini and De Gea.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Rooney.

Fuck sake.

[Marc Overmars]

:haha:

Wenger :wave:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Wenger is just subjecting us to one humiliation after another.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

0-2 Rooney.

Fuck sake.

Total lack of surprise

[Maestro]

you know it's really sad, gutter shite when the only thing to look forward to is arsenalfantv

thanks wenger, now just fuck off. he should be sacked, unbelievable shambles

[Master Splinter]

We've turned a routine win against a kindergarten defence into Manchester United's revival game.

We're actually making Smalling, Blackett and Valencia look like exceptional footballers, most criminally of all.

And we're confirming Van Gaal's genius too.

Just incredible.

[Globalgunner]

Will he resign...No way, the money is too good and more to the point what will he do with himself, cos no one else is going to employ him.

[Ernesto]

Worst points tally from 12 games in 32 years. If the board, someone, anyone isn't going to take heed of that damning statistic, we're in some serious trouble.

[crashley]

The worst Manc Utd team since the 80s. FFS

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

This is too much, people are going to go on about a Van Gaal tactical masterclass, this is nothing of the sort just total and utter self destruction.

[Xhaka Can’t]

The shittiest United team in a generation.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eight added minutes. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Wenget should just come on and score an own goal himself to complete the disaster.

And then flash his £8m cheque.

[Marc Overmars]

He should not be given a single penny to spend, even with substantial funds he neglected certain areas of the team and can't even turn what he has got into an effective unit despite the talent being there at his disposal.

What a sad case he has turned into.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Maria fucks it up.

[Power n Glory]

3-0 would have been embarrassing.

[Master Splinter]

Di Maria has at least provided a highlight.

Worth £60m.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GIROUD!!! WHAT A GOAL!!

[Maestro]

thank you BFG, some respectability

fuck off wenger

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Maria. :haha:

What an embarrassment.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 FT. Well done Arsenal you bunch of clowns.

[Power n Glory]

What bullshit! Time wasting and we didn't even get the time back.

[A Gunner]

You just can't blame everything on Wenger here, players not taking chances on pitch...

[Xhaka Can’t]

Yes you can. The shit we see every week is entirely Wenger's fault.

This is his team.

This is his system.

This is his culture.

[fakeyank]

You just can't blame everything on Wenger here, players not taking chances on pitch...

I blame the weather frankly..

[Marc Overmars]

Wenget :lol:

Time to go.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

hahahahahahaha i can't stop laughing :haha: :haha: :haha:

[Maestro]

hahahahahahaha i can't stop laughing :haha: :haha: :haha:

it's about the only reaction left, at least it's n optimistic reaction :shrug:

[Niall_Quinn]

Didn't watch the end as I knew we'd find whatever it took to lose.

Only we could gift such a shit Utd team. Dean of course was an absolute scandal, but that was expected. Wenger was inept, clueless, incompetent, but that was expected. We were up against an amateur defence so we played tippy tappy half paced shit, but that was expected. The only thing that would be unexpected if Wenger takes some responsibility for this. He won't. he can't. Because the only effective action after a home performance like that against a direct competitor who was on their knees - not only have we lost but we gave the scumbags a hand-up - it to resign. He really needs to dothat now. But he won't. Only thing keeping him here was the fact he could do enough to keep us in the hunt for a CL spot. But it looks like that's beyond him now. regardless of the upheaval, he has to go. No way will he though. He'll say we were unlucky after a spirited performance. He's delusional.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Anyone who thinks Wenger can be excused this debacle is deluding themselves

If he carries on to 2017, there won't be a single fan he won't have alienated even the Footballistically Arsenal podcast which is relatively pro Wenger has turned on him.

Please Wenger just go, you have our everlasting appreciation for what you've done in the past and there's no doubt you will leave the club in a better position than you've left it, but Arsenal football club is not your personal fiefdom.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

hahahahahahaha i can't stop laughing :haha: :haha: :haha:

Nitrous Oxide will fuck you up my friend

[Xhaka Can’t]

He isn't going anywhere.

And neither will we.

[Dicks and chicks]

He isn't going anywhere.

And neither will we.

what about your Mum's pet cat? Is he going anywhere? No because i killed him, the little bitchass

[Letters]

what about your Mum's pet cat? Is he going anywhere? No because i killed him, the little bitchass

:blink:

Ok...

[Niall_Quinn]

:blink:

Ok...

It's not okay thought, is it?

What did the cat ever do to him?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

The Cat was an AKB

Blamed the United result on Mike Dean and bad luck, thinks the players aren't carrying out Wengers master plan and that people who cannot see the genius of Monreal at centre back don't know what they are talking about.

Still though seems an out of proportion riposte
