I can't work out if I'd rather Ronaldo started or not.

I’d rather he started than came off the bench tbh.
Sometimes things are just the way they are in football and Arsenal blowing it at Old Trafford is one of those things. Doesn’t matter how strong or weak the teams are this is a fixture we rarely turn up at. Would be very surprised and impressed with a win.Quote:

The attacking front three won’t see enough of the ball and we will get bored to death.
Brentford is a game where we could get really humiliated, that won’t happen here
So if he's from Manchester he's probably a Citey fan so we could be in luck :unsure:Quote:

If we collapse again

But the fact is I could be wrong
2) I’d argue blaming the referee for disappointing results is more evidence of defeatist thinking. We lost the game against City because we threw it away. Xhaka had no business having his hands all over Bernardo Silvas shirt. Gabriel put himself in a position to be sent off for talking back to the referee and then giving away a needless foul, it was amateurish.
1) I don’t think that.
2) I’m not one of those people who believes that refs are generally against us, but I saw that game and the ref fucked us over in that one.

2) No we fucked ourselves over, even Arteta admitted as much…told the players they were great in every area of the pitch apart from our own penalty area and theirs. He was right, even foregoing the fact that it was a penalty on Bernardo Silva and Gabriel should have been sent off. How many chances did we miss in that game?
1) We as a club
2) Agree to disagree
