and thats a cracking team goal Eddie Eddie Eddie

Ødegaard looks dangerous today, he's just a really good player.

 

[Slime]

Arteta really does let himself and Arsenal down at times, he can be very embarrassing.

 

[Slime]

A really good 1st half.
Two sides who are better going forward than they are defending.
I'm sure there'll be more goals and, probably, a few more cards to be handed out.

Don't let Rashford have free shots on goal.Keep playing be patient the goals will come

At times he’s almost been on the pitch

We should be ok if we stop passing back to De Gea,every time it gives me anxiety.

Thought we were sloppy at times that half, Partey giving the ball away for the goal, White did a few times too. Martinelli looks a yard off his best and has last few games, expect we may see Smith Rowe a little earlier this week

 

[fundy]

Have a horrible feeling Anthony Taylor will have a say in the result somehow too

 

[pokerjoke]

Weren’t some Utd supporters calling for Rashford to be sold. The same saying Haaland is no good for City.

I can’t believe they’re saying Wan Basaka isn’t comfortable on the ball - maybe football isn’t for him

So much for not venturing outside the technical box

I'll see your Smith-Rowe and raise you Garnacho.

The frustrating thing for me in first half was a nothing ball was played across out box, going out for a goal kick, and Wan Bissaka hoofed it out for a corner. Then, a dangerous ball played across, he leaves it, Arsenal score.

At one point, I wasn't sure if Luke Shaw or Arteta were taking the throw in

Cracking game for the neutral, Man Utd have come on leaps and bounds under Ten Hag.

Whilst I totally agree, I can't imagine there'll be many neutrals watching this game.
I do, however, have a sneaky suspicion that Tashy and Amanda will be closet United supporters this afternoon.

I'm pretty sure there will be millions of people watching the game that don't support either side
It's just one of them games that everyone wants to watch.

Now thats a hit Get in Saka

 

[Slime]

Great goal, though.

 

[Hobbit]

Let’s hope @Hobbit hadn’t seen the Middlesbrough result and is concentrating on his bowls final ???

A pox on your house sir!!

Sadly I got to watch the second half, only made more bearable by eleventeen celebratory drinks from a convincing bowls win.
