Man Utd Vs. Arsenal on Sunday at 430 PM

Claudius

I hate that an animated mop defeated us, but I’m happy that young and new players gave good accounts of themselves. Hopefully, those players can take some confidence into Thursday.

We need to score, so Mkhi has to start. Hopefully the combination of him and Ozil creates more movement and space for us up front, especially for Ramsey to run into. I think that should be the difference.

Qwiss

Ramsey, Mhki, Ozil and Laca to provide attacking threat plus Welbeck to provide some chaos.

Le Fraud yeah..?

Name calling aside, and I don't condone terminology like Le Fraud, do you think Wenger leaving now was the right decision?

Also how do you assess 3 wins at OT in 22 years.

Big Willie

Considering two of those wins effectively won us two titles then not bad. Not bad at all.

Also during our early years before Wenger lost it, how many times did they beat us at Highbury and the early years at the Emirates? What was the difference between how many times they beat us at our place vs us at theirs? How many times did they beat us in total during that time vs how many we beat them? Didn't Wenger have the better head to head record vs Fergie until 2008 or 09 (don't remember the year of the CL semi against them when it all started going downhill for the club, not only against United).

I'm guessing Captain thinks what most of us think. It's time for Wenger to leave, he should've probably won more than three times there and it's disrespectful to call our most successful manager Le Fraud.

Those three wins all came between 98 and 06 didn't they? That's an insanely good record actually given the disgraceful refereeing performances we were subjected to at that swamp. Wenger's lost the plot a long time ago but if you want to beat him with some stick then do it with his more recent performances at their ground

Sticking up for the guy who was just blowing kisses to the ManU fans that have been calling him a paedophile for decades, but blamed Arsenal fans that patiently stuck by him despite his failures for his eventual sacking.

Yeah go on, wanker.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

We also won there in Feb 2003 (FA Cup) and some time in 2015 (FA Cup).

Why stop in 08 or 09? He's still our manager now.

Big Willie

You really believe the level of players and coaching we have had before and after that period are in any way comparable? Or the way the club has been managed both on or off the field?

“Presented to Arsene Wenger by Sir Alex Ferguson CBE and Jose Mourinho on behalf of Manchester United football club, in recognition of his service to and achievements at Arsenal Football Club 1996-2018.”

I see that it drove some into states of apoplectic rage but I thought it was a nice touch.

On another note

Arsenal are the only side in England’s top four leagues to have lost every away game in 2018

Mind boggling grim stat

Pretty silly mate, Wenger will be blowing all sorts of kisses at Arsenal fans as he is sent off.

Some of those first teamers have zero motivation in the league now anyway. Allowing young hungry players to have a chance was the right call.

This match didn't go the way I expected, have to say. No particular doom and gloom for Madrid, no triggers of the PTSD sustained in the 8-2.

It was never going to go that way, we were playing Mourinho's United in a nothing game when they had eff all to play for.

Burnwinter

Oh it wouldn't have gone that far, but I was expecting us to get steamrolled just the same.

y va marquer

They aren't good enough to steam roll us Bw, they weren't even fired up to do so either.

Burnwinter

So it proved, I wasn't alone in my pessimistic forecast however.

I don't know about you Burns, but I was very uncomfortable watching Wenger getting all lovey-dovey with a man that called him a specialist in failure, and acknowledging fans that repeatedly aimed disgusting and vile chants at him down the years.

This is the same man who has shown utter contempt towards Arsenal fans since the announcement of his departure.

At the end of the day, criticizing a manager who has made me stop caring about my team's results for the 1st time in 30+ years of support, by calling him a fraud (entirely to do with his profession) does not warrant personal attacks and name-calling. Wenger does not give 2 shits about none of us to be getting involved in slanging matches over him.

Wenger isn’t a child. United are honoring him and Nourinho has this week apologized for his past behavior. A proper ambassador for the club. Let him enjoy the appreciation of the whole English football community as his time winds down. This isn’t the time for petty fights.
