Oh, look. We still can’t beat United away. Or defend. And we have a shît keeper.

If AW had been manager for that performance, the media (and others) would be crucifying us for failing to beat a palpably inferior side. There’d be talk of ‘lack of character/backbone/whatever’.
Now, because we’re under the dago gobshíte, our failings are suddenly OK.
Bòllocks.

Calm down and have a nice sleep.

Oh do **** off, b.

It was a shít match, because they attempted to drag us down to their level. Which they did in the first half.

Niggly fouls, rolling around like sniper victims (which we started to do too - wd The Arsenal) and chipping away at the referee. It's like the return of the ghost of Ferguson.

We gave away shít goals. So did they.

We shoud have won. Despite his howler, De Gea, once again for them, was the difference.

20 undefeated. Not to be sniffed at.

Read Twitter / redcafe. Apparently its their best performance of the season.

The tyranny of low expectations is strong in this one.

We’ll finish fifth this year. At best.

At least we’ve still got something to moan about though. The defence is still ropey and Aubameyang isn’t quite as good as he thinks he is.

Tbh, none of our CBs would get in any of the other top 5 teams...transfer magic to be worked in the summer.

and, I thought Auba was alright in the second half.

10 goals from 10 shots (before tonight) is none to shabby JT

All bantering aside, you have noticed that this is the worst keeper we’ve had since Almunia, right?

[IUFG]

All bantering aside, you have noticed that this is the worst keeper we’ve had since Almunia, right?

I've just spat my wine out, b.

You did actually see Almunia play, right?

I think I've previously describe Leno as lucky. Saving with arse and elbow, etc.
No favours were done to him tonight by his colleagues tbh.

The save from the free kick was decent. He pushed it along the byline...the recipient of the ball was (admittedly, marginally) offside. And then two defenders choose to watch the ball.

the second was a monumental, defensive **** up

[redgunamo]

It's the other way about, I think; none of the defenders in the top four would look particularly out of place playing for us.

Wenger never really looked like getting to grips with the issue over recent seasons, no matter who we played at the back, but UE has a fresh opportunity there. #judgehiminmay

I’m setting the bar high for Auba. He should’ve slotted that chance away tonight. Then celebrated by driving around Old Trafford in his solid gold Lamborghini.

[Darren's Dodgy Denim]

Had we had Owen Coyle managing, we'd have won that game.

[Tony C]

Would have rather lost and not have those injuries.

Poor Holding might be out for months and Ramsey was playing his way to a new contract.

Was terrified when Mustafi started limping as we used up all our subs so can't be sure of his long term availability either (injured vs Spurs too)

Can you imagine the seeeens if Leno had been sent off (almost handled outside the box)

Could’ve seen Aboomerang in goal imo

I fear that you haven't let Him go yet. All good things must come to an end, B.

Can you not learn to love again. Unai is waiting for you with open arms.

[PSRB]

I thought players looked tired, not a great performance, ref and and assistants were facking awful. Mhiki can't finish from a yard and then scores a blinder (offside).

[71 Guns - channeling the spirit of Mr Hat]

Unai is waiting for you with open arms.

And greasy hair, crooked teeth and a squeaky voice. I wouldn't wish that on redgunamo's mum tbh.

Yep - but we finished the game strongly which was odd. Never really had any fluency. Bailly was rather good for them as well though - can't understand why he doesn't play every week (when fit)

He was. I'd have him they don't want him.

Like the Riley game in 2004, their tactic appeared to be a high press and kick us off the park.
It nearly worked.

Thought we were clearly the better team. I think some of you have forgotten going there and struggling to create much or even being hammered. Can you imagine a Unai team losing 8-2? How many times did Wenger beat Mourinho?

We were better than them, at their place, and really should have won if not for a missed offside call and a moment of madness from Kolasinac/Leno. And it was fun to watch, the days of endless sideways passing seem to be over, thank god. And I haven't even gotten to the 20 games undefeated 22 games into the beginning of his hopefully very long Arsenal career.

Everything is just soooooo much better under Unai. :cloud9:

I thought we gave as good as we got - Utd fans I was watching with were getting quite riled by Torreira :)

We did. There is a leeeeetle bit more steel in this Arsenal side nowadays.

And

Apparently, when Fellaini had his hair pulled by Huth in 2016, Huth got a 3 match ban for 'violent conduct'. I do hope there is some kind of consistency applied...

[AFC East]

Yes, we are back in for the 4th place cup!! (Although losing it at the moment).

I suspect you were the kind of fellow who made light of top four finishes. Am I wrong?

Guen also seems to have riled them quite a lot. Fell over rather easily when was in process of losing possession and then won a foul.....they may have a point on this :hehe:

The finish from the yard was not as easy / straightforward as I have seen suggested.

But no yellow/red for an act that has previously been identified as violent conduct..?

Very odd it wasn't a yellow at least but scroll down here and you'll see the ref's view - can't really claim he didn't see it so no further action can be taken

Lichtsteiner took a buffeting to the back of the head courtesy of a stray Fellaini forearm
Guendouzi - such a mature, persistent performance and he maintained his cool in the face of some tasty fouls
