Manchester United v Arsenal, 16:30 GMT (01/11, SS Main Event)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Have to be more positive in this one.

Martial is still suspended for them at least. We've likely got Mustafi at the back though. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Move along, nothing to see here.

[Xhaka Can’t]

0-13

[Mac76]

we'll lose

[Xhaka Can’t]

That would require at least a 14 goal swing!

I have been to the Great Wall of China, I have seen the Pyramids of Egypt, I've even witnessed a grown man satisfy a camel. But never in all my years have I witnessed something as improbable, as impossible, as a 14 goal swing!

[GP]

Laca hattrick

[Letters]

3-0

[selassie]

This one is a write-off. Honestly think we will lose by 2 or 3 goals.

We wouldn't win there if we played 22 players against 11, we are that bad against this lot at Old Toilet. They have hit a decent bit of form too.

Onto the next one....

[Niall_Quinn]

It's an away match against the "top 6" so there's a moderate chance we'll get a tepid result and a significant chance we'll lose. Depends what teams around us do. If they all do badly and we have a chance to capitalise, it's a guaranteed loss.

But it should be a really boring match played out by two utterly shit teams, so what's not to love?

Long way from the old battles. Remember those? These were always the first fixtures I'd look up at the start of a season, even before looking for the the spuds. And then the build-up would be weeks long and so much would be riding on the result. Now? Non-event.

[Thierrymon]

We're gonna win this. 100% its my guarantee :dance:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Relegation six-pointer. :bow:

[Mac76]

We're 12th now and will be at least 13th tomorrow after moan u leapfrog us

Arteta :bow:

Men doing what men do.

Who remembered Paddy as being black? Or Keane as being white? Be honest now.

Paddy was just Paddy. He could have been bright blue for all we cared. But we knew he bled red.

This modern girl's game, plastered in racism from top to bottom, is a huge joke. And, as a result, the result of this game is entirely meaningless. There's nothing at stake for the fans. No heroes. No passion. Just a boring kickabout between two packs of eunuchs. They'll probably all compliment each other on their handbags in the tunnel beforehand.

Give me the real stuff any day. And keep this sad parody, I don't need it.

i get what you're saying, a clash like that could easily be translated into something racially-related these days

have to say i hated Keane, he went too far and should have been sent off loads more than he was, but it was good that we had someone like Vieira there to stand up to it

i don't mind players pushing back a bit - Xhaka tries to mix it but at the wrong time in the wrong way and just gets carded - Kola used to do it a little bit too but not recently

and of course when Guendouzi tried to show a bit of backbone when our goalkeeper was assaulted, he lost his place in the side...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fred, Pogba, Fernandes, Greenwood, Rashford.
Subs: Henderson, Tuanzebe, Williams, Mata, Matic, Van De Beek, Cavani.

Arsenal: Leno, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, Bellerin, Partey, Elneny, Saka, Willian, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
Subs: Runarrson, Mustafi, Xhaka, Maitland-Niles, Pepe, Nketiah.

[Globalgunner]

No Mustafi,no Xhaka. We have a chance

[Mac76]

yes that defence is actually respectable for once

we desperately need Holding to play a blinder and convince Arteta we don't need Mustafi (though needing to do that at all is depressing)

[Niall_Quinn]

No Mustafi,no Xhaka. We have a chance

Bellerin can still single-handedly suck the life out of the team. He should have been dumped too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No Arsenal affiliated guest as a pundit and Gary Neville co-commentating.

Great.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Wow, those disgusting cunts have just pretended to honour the war dead and then bowed down to their cultist, racist, marxist religion. That's despicable.

[Mac76]

Wow, those disgusting cunts have just pretended to honour the war dead and then bowed down to their cultist, racist, marxist religion. That's despicable.

meanwhile it's interesting they've gone for a 3-4-3 isn't it - you know, in the football match?

[Niall_Quinn]

meanwhile it's interesting they've gone for a 3-4-3 isn't it - you know, in the football match?

Oh wow, I'd just love it if it was all about football. As it should be.

[Niall_Quinn]

Mike Dean :haha:

Didn't realise.

[Niall_Quinn]

We nicked the ball, Utd were scrambling back, so we played three square passes. And that's the main problem this team has.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Slabhead gifts us a corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How is that not a yellow from Holding? :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Rob Holding doing a fair impression of Steve Bould there. Balding head and all

[Globalgunner]

How is that not a yellow from Holding? :haha:

That's our 1 freebie from Mike Dean today

[Mac76]

sh*t corrner #54,846

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was great from Partey.

[Niall_Quinn]

Willian super wasteful so far. Involved, but fucking it up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin right across goal, so close for Auba!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Think it would have been offside.

[Niall_Quinn]

Decent cross finally.

[Globalgunner]

Willian super wasteful so far. Involved, but fucking it up.

Looking every day of his 32 years at the moment

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref gives Utd a breather.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Greenwood. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Why are they waiting to put the flag up? Just so they can use VAR?

[Munchies]

Why are they waiting to put the flag up? Just so they can use VAR?

haven't been on here in ages, good to see you still on NQ and everyone else! :)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno saves from Greenwood!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fred booked, scrote.

[Globalgunner]

Wasnt really a yellow by Fred but I'll take it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka. :bow:

So lively.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pogba blocks Saka's goal bound freekick.

[Niall_Quinn]

Poor show by Saka. Don't be doing that!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holding now is booked. :lol:

[Mac76]

haven't been on here in ages, good to see you still on NQ and everyone else! :)

Wenger's gone btw ;)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pogba kicked Holding.

[Niall_Quinn]

Holding booked because Fred got booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gabriel booked now.

[Globalgunner]

Dean bringing out all his moves now

[Niall_Quinn]

Utd getting back into it now. We had 25 mins on top, but nothing on target as usual.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba wipes Fernandes out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Partey. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka boots it out of play.

[Globalgunner]

Partey. :bow:

Imagine having a midfielder who can actually move with the ball at his feet. Amazing. Even El neny looks different

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hit it Auba!

[Niall_Quinn]

Auba looks a shadow of the player he was. What's up with him?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette misses it!

[Globalgunner]

Tierney is such a good player. Imagine if he had twin who could play RB.? I blame his Mom

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah it was taken away from Laca tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willian hits the bar!

[GP]

Willian has got to hit the target!

We have to score or we will pay for it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Even that doesn't count as on target. And I assume we'll be gifting Cavani his first goal in the PL, so we need to get on with this now.

[Globalgunner]

This is so Arsenal

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saka heads it over!

[Mac76]

Auba looks a shadow of the player he was. What's up with him?

he's not being played in the middle instead of lacashite

[Niall_Quinn]

Saka misses a sitter. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

Dominated midfield but us as goal repellents are at it again. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 0-0

Dire again. Organised. But so is a library.

[GP]

Ceballos on for Elneny and Pepe on for someone pls.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette has helped us get through midfield a lot and his holding up has been a lot better than recently.

He is no striker anymore though it seems.

[Letters]

We are doing that thing again.
Exactly what we did against Leicester.
Basically playing well enough, creating a few decent chances. But not efficient enough up front so unless we step up it’s either peter out to a stale 0-0 or we will concede the sucker punch breakaway.

:(

[Mac76]

Ceballos on for Elneny and Pepe on for someone pls.

i think Elneny's been ok, generally we played well, Partey is impressive

the main problem is not playing our world-clase CF in the CF position, until Arteta grows up and plays him there instead of lacashite we will be a blunt instrument

I'd bring on AMN at LWB and have a front three of Saka, Auba and Pepe

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McTominay takes Auba out.

[Mac76]

McTominay takes Auba out.
how do you know, the second half hasn't started yet...? :shrug:

[Xhaka Can’t]

88th minute sucker punch coming right up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The weather has taken out my Sky signal. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

how do you know, the second half hasn't started yet...? :shrug:

It has, I watched it on TV. Until that died.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maguire. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mike Dean ruining our counter attack. Twat.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba scuffs it wide!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did that deflect off Lindelof?

[Letters]

Great touch by Dean

[GP]

That was great from Laca.

Auba needs to be hitting the target.

[Niall_Quinn]

Auba woeful again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stupid foul from Bellerin.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Slabhead heads it wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lucky McGuire was there to clear it or we'd be a goal down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Partey hammers it, De Gea saves.

Shot on target. :bow:

[Mac76]

Auba woeful again.

where are you watching it? you found a good place last week

[Niall_Quinn]

Partey with what I think might be our first shot on target.

[Niall_Quinn]

where are you watching it? you found a good place last week

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fred off, Matic on.

[Mac76]

[Niall_Quinn]

Pogba with 600 step-overs before being dispossessed. I wouldn't have paid 100 mill for him, tbf.

[Mac76]

Pogba with 600 step-overs before being dispossessed. I wouldn't have paid 100 mill for him, tbf.

seeing him stinking out their side really makes me feel better - it's not just us that buy total duds

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Elneny. :lol:

Worth a go, probably not.

Great tackle from Gabriel on Pogba.

[Niall_Quinn]

Elneny lines one up and - FFS! WTF?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

PELANTY!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba has not been good so this pel is a concern. Eek.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG!!! COME ON!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Pen for Bellerin. Pogba taps him and down he goes. Auba to take.

[Niall_Quinn]

Slots it in.

1-0

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two scuffed passes.

Here goes our composure out of the window. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Greenwood booked for upending Lacazette.

[Mac76]

really wasn't sure auba would get that but well taken

[Niall_Quinn]

Horrible lunge by Greenwood. Yellow.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

Tierney is absolute class.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gabriel is lucky to stay on. Wild hack on Greenwood.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Greenwood off, Cavani on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandes hauled off, Van De Beek on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dean must be ill. Totally missed a chance to give us a red there.

Cavani on, Greenwood off. Some bloke called van Beak on too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maguire. :lol:

Lacazette off, Nketiah on.

Good work mostly from Lacazette on hold up. No point judging him as a striker now.

[Mac76]

Gabriel is lucky to stay on. Wild hack on Greenwood.

i don't think it was a yellow tbf but he needs to be careful

[Globalgunner]

Somebody posted elsewhere that Bruno Fernandes had to be restrained from taking that penalty

[Niall_Quinn]

Eddie coming on for Laca. Can't see how that's going to help us hold the ball further up the pitch.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rashford hammers it, McTominay clears.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eddie coming on for Laca. Can't see how that's going to help us hold the ball further up the pitch.

It'll be about the pure counter now I'd guess.

Holding is dead again.

[Niall_Quinn]

Holding looks done. Xhaka coming on.

[Globalgunner]

Eddie coming on for Laca. Can't see how that's going to help us hold the ball further up the pitch.

Eddie is a myth. Like Walcott was. Offers nothing except a clean shaven face

[Niall_Quinn]

Or maybe not. Looks like Holding is better now.

[Niall_Quinn]

About 15 mins left to not do something stupid.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Leno.

Huge 10 or so minutes. Will be gutting not to get this away at the big 6 shit done.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant tackle from Gabriel again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Elneny clears on to the post! Eek.

[Mac76]

good defending by Holding

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Leno to deny Elneny in fact. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willian off, Maitland-Niles on.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

Wow!!! How lucky was that??? ��

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba off, Mustafi on to shore this up.

Think this is a bit too defensive. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

We've dropped back now and conceded all the play. AMN on for Willian.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba booked for taking his time. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Mustafi on for Auba.

Yikes!

[Mac76]

Auba off, Mustafi on to shore this up.

Think this is a bit too defensive. :lol:

so we're a 7 2 1 formation now?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maguire all over his man, just like in Greece.

Allegedly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes.

See this out you stupid cunts!

[Globalgunner]

Mustafi on for Auba.

Yikes!

Double Yikes!. Why would you do that?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's brilliant pressing from Elneny.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Foul throw from us again. :doh:

[Edinburgh Gooner]

Elneny has been solid today as well. Partey is a fucking beast..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matic with a weak shot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gabriel majestic. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal, FT!!!!!

FINALLY WE'VE DONE THESE WANKERS AWAY FROM HOME!!

COME ON!!!!!!!

Artetaball. :bow:

Well fucking done lads.

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 0-1

First away win in 26 years :bow:

[GP]

Away win!!

Good performance. I don't understant the subs but a great win.

[Marc Overmars]

Holy shit, have we just taken 3 points at Old Trafford?!

Well done lads. :bow:

Superb result. Hopefully it isn’t another 14 year wait.

[Letters]

How long after the final whistle do we have to wait before we know if Utd will equalise?

[Mac76]

Away win!!

Good performance. I don't understant the subs but a great win.

yes, we invited pressure but fortunately Moan U really are bad


Ole :pal:

[hobson's choice]

Elneny and Gab Men of the match

Proud off the boys today

[RomfordPele]

Great to get the win but the game management there was appalling.

Gabriel could have quite easily picked up a second booking and the subs just invited pressure.

I’ll enjoy the result but we made that much more difficult than it needed to be. A better side would have punished us.

[Thierrymon]

We're gonna win this. 100% its my guarantee :dance:

:gp:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Much appreciated.

Thanks for this.

[GP]

1-1

Fernandes pelanty

[Xhaka Can’t]

It was so far outside the box, they were on the motorway to their next game! :fury:

VAR :doh:
