Thank you Arsenal - £150 Coupon win!!

Got to say Odegaard has been tremendous, really really good player.
West Ham should never have been in that game to be fair, they've offered nothing going forward.
You just wonder if Arsenal can win this title, they look excellent going forward but the centre half's would probably be my only concern, unless they do business in January.

Ally must of read my mind, ha ha.

Dont think people who dont watch Arsenal all the time realise how good (and improved) Oedegaard is. How do Norway not make the WC with him and Haaland!!!!

dont think well buy at Centre Half (rumoured to have done a deal for one next summer already), White and Tomiyasu will both play there if needed as does Holding

Id take this Rice kid from the oppo tonight though ;)

Much much better second half, all clicked together better. Excellent start in the side for Nketiah too. Another one ticked off :)

Blimey - didn’t expect this

Not sure about him , wasn’t that impressed in the WC

Definitely think he's a better fit for Liverpool than he would've been at Utd. Strikes me as more a Salah/Mane type wide player rather than a central striker which to me is more what Utd need. Utd already have Anthony, Rashford, Sancho, Elanga & Garnacho that can play those wide roles. Will be a good addition to the Liverpool squad and give Klopp the chance to rotate his wide players and give others a rest. I'm not saying that he wouldn't have been an upgrade on the players Utd already have but doesn't seem the most important need for Utd at the minute.

That was the result arsenal and we deserved for the performance put in

We looked better when we ditched soucek and had fornals and paquata but too late then

Lego head is impossible to like as a manager he is classless on the touch line. Clearly a good manager on ability but Jesus is there anything he won't try to appeal for.. waving cards for nothing. Least Wenger you could respect

Think Id be more worried about your own manager currently, clearly less than the sum of the parts ;) There again Everton might take him back if you ask nicely :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Following my lot winning away at Gillingham this afternoon we've reported racist abuse against some of our players by the Gillingham fans. What on earth is wrong with these people? Gillingham have several black players in their squad. How do these morons think their own players feel about them doing this? I'm not raising this as a dig at Gillingham or their fans as every club, including my own, have these morons in their supporter base. How can you attend a football match and think it's acceptable to racially abuse an opposition player? And secondly how can you do that and not think about how your own players of that race will feel about you doing it?

Totally agree. I like Gakpo, but I did think it slightly odd that United were being so heavily linked with him. Not a priority at the moment, for the reasons you cite.

Well done for taking that action. Was it simple to do? I think at Newcastle there is a number to text which is a very good, non threatening method of reporting.
