⚽ Arsenal vs Man United, League, 22nd Jan, 4.30pm

My fucking word, this Arsenal side could make you cry.

So glad I managed not to spoil myself again today. That was pure drama from end to end and from start to finish, I was convinced we were about to get shafted, I was ready to settle for a draw, but each time I found myself hedging, Arsenal kept going. So much love for what these players are ready to leave on the pitch week after week. The selfless, spirited way this side plays is like a cupboard of wonders I get to open up every few days.

So much to reflect on from that match but fucking come on! We are the best football team in the world at the moment.

QuincyAbeyie Action must surely be taken.

So fucking good reading United fans, for decades the beneficiaries of Ferguson time and dodgy decisions, whining like babies about a manager who's smarter than theirs, younger than theirs and has far better hair than theirs. Fuck you, cry more.

Burnwinter

HomeSteak Pep hubris, like obsessing over winning the league without a striker, and now with some kind of super-striker. Man's let his success get to him. 🧠

Burnwinter

est We look shit.

Usual bottlejob against these cunts.

Reflecting my emotions at this point pretty accurately …

Huge win. Feels monumental and always special to beat them. Slightly annoyed I allowed myself to Fever Pitch the celebration for the winner as I'd vowed not do that that again. Only two other times I've done that were the Walcott run against Liverpool in the CL when it was all taken away from us while still rolling around on the floor celebrating and the Welbeck winner against Leicester when it was all taken away in the next couple of games. Just couldn't be stopped in this moment 😆

Tomiyasu made a big difference in the second half and what a debut cameo from Trossard. Exactly what we've been missing. Am attacking option to bring on for something different. Buzzing.

I was watching it in my pyjamas at 7:30am or whatever and created a fucking disturbance jumping up and down. Had really convinced myself they were going to hold us out after all that pressure. Massive win this.

We were not at the races for a lot of that game, so many misplaced passes. I think to be fair Utd defended well and made it difficult for us.

Last 30 mins though, we just overpowered them. Them playing midweek probably contributed towards that but I think our quality shone through. They defended resiliently for long periods but like the stats show there was only one team trying to win that game.

We were better than them throughout. If you are feeling nervous about a game, look at the data and it can confirm or allay or your concerns. It was evident even in the first half that we were vastly superior, just dealing with a hardworking defense. So it was natural we would run out winners. The result was a freak. If we played this game 100 times, this is one of the less likely results. Most likely ends 2-0, 2-1 or 3-1. Not 3-2. They were absolutely not good for that scoreline. Just think how many times they actually attacked goal.

Amy Lawrence tweeted a phot of Ten Haag out of his technical area too. Brilliant.

that last 20 minutes showed how far we've come as a team. united are the alleged form team in the league, and we just thoroughly overwhelmed them to the point they couldn't live with us. that choreographed swarm is becoming a trademark and something that's legitimately feared throughout this league

Burnwinter

Ten Hag's post match commentary had a lot of dignity to give the man his due.

No complaints about the result, he instead commented on his players' inadequate feeling for the match, and that they'd failed to truly absorb only a point was on offer for them once our onslaught got going in the final half hour.

In the Wenger era I can't recall us pinning a United side down to such a degree, thrashing them yes, but not quite like this.

Burnwinter he’s well Dutch isn’t he.

Clrnc

Burnwinter he was pretty fair. Last week he also said his goal should be offside against City.

I am Arsenal Till I Die agree. Tomi and Trossard was important for us in the 2nd half. I was just thinking without Trossard this would be a Newcastle game again while watching. So so important to have reinforcements to back out title charge up.

Burnwinter

lorddulaarsenal So Dutch. Not a good thing overall sadly (with no offence to any Dutch posters), but it's pleasant to hear a scrupulously fair accounting of his players' deficiencies after we belted them.

Asterix

My son was at the game with a mate whose parents are season ticket holders. Had a ball. Between him and me we have a 100% win record for attending games, stretching back 4 games since 1983....

Claudius That link could go in the dictionary under "stages of grief"—you've got it all there, anger, denial, bargaining, acceptance …

Claudius I read it yesterday and I was so surprised most of them are in agreement we will win the league and we are the best team, well coached and deserved it. It was the same at Redcafe, they said they deserved nothing from the match and we schooled them again.

Since 2008 I haven't seen an Arsenal side have so much common consensus about our quality

Claudius

Lol. Whenever I read Glory Glory, I imagine the faces in the Henry celebration picture.
