I think disgusting is over the top. It was stupid, perhaps petulant, but 'disgusting' is something I'd reserve for spitting on someone or attempting to injure them or something. :p
Someone in commentary summed it up beautifully

How much respect does he have for his team mates doing that on a yellow when your struggling in a game

It's not as if you pre-meditate kicking the ball away while on a yellow though. It's just heat of the moment, frustration at giving away a foul and gives the ball a little kick. It's just a lack of engaging the brain that's all.

Kamara hasn't got many starts and his performance last week is a shining example of why. He's talented but the dive was ridiculous but to then kick a ball way on a yellow already is asking for trouble and while we never looked like getting back in the game, it would have done the team no favours.

While it’s easy to travel these days !
Can fans afford to travel 10 times abroad ? Depending on the number of clubs in the leauge
It could be more.

Ramsey ten times the player Xhaka will ever be, horrible mismanagement of one of the main assets yet again, seems one things not changed despite Wenger leaving. cant wait to see him come back for Liverpool or Chelsea and run riot against us :(
Not going to disagree but when we have Ozil and Mhiktaryan, we don't need bend over backwards for Ramsey in a similar role whereas Xhaka is improving and offers something different to Ramseyand is a better fit alongside Xhaka.

I really do like Ramsey as a player but don't think we should meet the demands he is asking for

Thats the thing though, he can ask for what he wants as the club has parked themselves firmly in a corner by not sorting the deal out when he had more than a year left on his contract, as the extra he is asking for is a fraction of the asset value you are losing! Not as if hes asked for Ozils wages either is it! Hes currently paid less than Kolasinac and Mhiktaryan, which considering what hes done for the club and offers going forward is laughable, this shouldve been sorted 12 months ago but everything was about Wenger at the time

Add up the extra theyre paying Ozil for leaving the deal too late the tfr fees lost on not selling or signing earlier for Sanchez/Ramsey/Welbeck and others youre well over 100m! Theyll then complain theres no money to buy a proper centre half again at the end of the season lol

I agree wholeheartedly with everything you've said here, club completely at fault for all those situations that have occurred and think lessons possibly finally been learnt to late.

A European Super League been mooted again in certain media.
I wonder how the fans of the “big 5” English clubs think about this?
Ps poor Spurs 😂
I'll be interested to hear some answers to this. I don't watch the CL so I certainly won't watch a European league. I don't care if the top five leave but clearly that will impact on the money the remaining clubs will have to share.

It will be quite a betrayal of English football if PL teams leave for this.

I don’t think any fans of the Top 5 will be in favour of it - its a pure money making exercise , the Prem whilst some teams dominate has a lot of exciting games and imo is the most exciting league - but the clubs are greedy and want to get more money and concentrating games to play just the top clubs in Europe would allow a massive telly contract - it nearly nearly 20 plus years ago and they changed the CL - would hope it doesn’t actually happen

Thought Bournemouth deserved a draw out of that game, seems United can only come to life in the second half, what a horrible Pink strip United play in.
