A good solid performance and a vital three more points.
Bruno given Man of the Match yet again.
What makes me laugh is that there are still people out there who wouldn't want him in their team.
I find that astonishing, there's no one better in the Premier League.

I do wonder if United will cash in on him at the end of the season though.
Saudi will come knocking again I’m sure

I think he's a complete fraud. Can't put my finger on it but he's all about how he looks. Bet the specs are plain glass!

I really don’t like him at all. Something about him really grates. Aside from anything, he clearly rates himself exceptionally highly as an innovative young coach despite him really not having anything on his CV.

I sincerely hope not, he's irreplaceable for the money we'd get for him, and why would he go?
He's absolutely adored at Old Trafford.

Said it here before, he is the best midfielder United have had since Scholes.

He is the glue which holds this side together and, most importantly, he performs at the highest level consistently. Week after week he turns in quality performances.

And to answer @irip I cannot see him leaving. If United make the Champion’s League with a solid top four finish I think he would see that as a job only half done. He loves the club and the fans, and I think the club will realise they cannot afford to lose him.

For a big defender he does seem to fall over quite deliberately.

Defenders are the biggest divers now imo.

When Utd beat them Gabriel was on the floor again!
Watching Cunha's rocket burst the onion bag. It was most satisfying

Player of the season so far?
He’s got to be in contention.

Wouldn't get in the Liverpool side though.

There are a few videos on line of fighting/bit of a scuffle in the away end at Arsenal yesterday.

Apparently, Thierno Barry got his mates some tickets for the match yesterday in the away end, but it turns out they are Arsenal fans and they started celebrating when Arsenal scored.

Police and Stewards got involved and they had to be escorted out.

Barry has now made a statement condemning the behaviour of the Everton fans!

Now I’m not condoning any violence, but if anything, imo, Barry should be apologising for his clueless behaviour.

Every club has idiots and to think it would be OK to put opposition fans together is just mind blowing to me, and if he’d thought about it, at least tell them to sit there and say nothing and do not celebrate a goal etc, yes in an ideal world there should be no issue, but sadly that is just not reality.

Arne Slot should be sacked. Now.

At home against Spurs, Ekitike guaranteed to score at least half a dozen, so I captain him in my FPL team only to see Slot bench him.

If he brings him on in the 89th minute with Liverpool 10-0 up I’m going to be less than impressed.

Not least because Bruno is my vice captain.

 

[Swango1980]

Great weekend for Utd. Beat Villa. Chelsea lose. Liverpool draw to Spurs, and a result that probably keeps Tudor in a job. So despite Spurs picking up a point, probably a great result for Forest and West Ham

 

[Billysboots]

Excellent weekend for United, with only Liverpool of the competition for Champion’s League places picking up a point.

 

[IanM]

Got the golf on, not watching thr footy.

But that's blooming hilarious!

 

[PaulMdj]

Big result for Spurs that.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Richarlison scoring the equaliser . That has to hurt more. Could this be the game that changes the season for spurs?

 

[Slime]

I must say, Liverpool looked shocking, especially in defence.
They had one job and couldn't get a home win against Spurs, a team who haven't won this year!
One job.
