Will be 2-0 Arsenal within 10 mins !!

I see a big Arsenal win for sure, they look miles better

Just seen united play Bournemouth tonight
Got today that as a set of fixtures they couldn’t have had easier ones to play over Christmas

Big test for Arse today. Wonder how they will fluke the win; lucky rebound, dodgy penalty, wonder goal, alien intervention, unreasonable refereeing, keeper masterclass, freakish defensive error...

Saudi Sportswashing Machine weren’t great against us IMO
Ref was woeful and they got lucky with time wasting. They are very functional with a few players having career highs

Things are getting bad when you have to hope for a Saka yellow to get a ban!

 

[billyiddo]

This is only going one way.


How has that soft team of bottlers who folded so often under pressure become such a relentlessly good side? It's madness

They don’t have cover for him that I can see
But their also at home so no chance of it happening

Patience and confidence
Same team every week
We did it last season

We were consistent in the last few games of last season but no way were we as good as this current Arsenal team. In fact I think 4th was in Arsenal's hands and they lost it.

Sad to say it but they are impressive. Press relentlessly high up the pitch and if the opposing team beat the press then they still defend in numbers. Plus they move quickly from defence to attack.

The level of falling over, rolling 100 times and faking injury from Arsenal is sickening! And the ref is falling for everything!

 

[Kandi1977]

Ref has totally lost it! That should be a pen for Saudi Sportswashing Machine!

Never a pen

 

[DubSpur]

This is great, yellows stacking up, hopefully a red or two by the end of it

 

[DubSpur]

Should've scored, great chance

 

[Yiddo]

Does Arteta still do his little team talk half way through the half when one of his players goes down injured? That contributes to them winning aswell.

 

[Mcfee]

Fcuk bad miss

I'm not mightily impressed, but actually running around a bit and actually trying to win the ball back with some intensity, lifts the crowd, which in turn lifts the players.
Our style makes the crowd go to sleep or boo. Makes a massive difference!

 

[paxtonwolf]

That is a chance for Joelinton. One he would nailed on have taken if it was against us

 

[Robspur12]

I don't think I have ever wanted to win an NLD as much as the one coming up. Sadly if we don't improve significantly I can't see it
