Manchester United vs Arsenal: Official Matchday Thread - 4th September @ 4.30pm

Merson is £#%&!ing clueless.

ETH - No

Scenes

They played well to be fair to them, better side than I thought they would be. But they still lost 3-1, and it could've been more.

Erik loves Roy and Roy loves Erik

Lost our way in the middle part of the match and Arsenal were pushing and pulling us every which way but Fred’s introduction changed the game in our favour

Great to see Antony get off the mark and Rashford should surely have a huge boost in confidence after 2 goals and assist
The balance in midfield wasn’t right defensively and it left the back 4 exposed so something that needs to be looked at

Have to say the back 4 all made mistakes and we’re getting the run around at times but they stuck at it and finished strongly

Performances will get much better as the months go on but huge to get several wins on the bounce to build confidence and belief
Love to see those giddy Arsenal c***s have their bubble burst

that's true. but the main thing is that we actually responded to it. how many times in recent years have we just spinelessly surrendered as soon as the tide has gone out of our favour in games?

not at our best and we get a comfortable win against the form team in the league.

Keane looking for a job

Absolutely £#%&!ing delighted.

That was a real proper test for us. Proper squeaky bum time there at times but it's lovely...£#%&!ing LOVELY to watch us compete, to watch us fight and show some £#%&!ing guts at times.

Merson’s question.

“Were ya scaaaared?”

No. Next question.

We're a work in progress, ETH has been here 6 games, he's doing fantastic. Let the divs slap Arsenal on the back, we'll take the points.

Southampton were amazing against us as well, remember. They even tried to talk Leicester up the other night FFS

Lots of use of the word 'team'. Ramming home the point it's a collective performance.

I like this.

4 in a row

sneering Arsenal brought back yo earth

United

High standards, every single day....

Roy adores him

Love the way ETH talks about standards

Merson saying it wasn’t the same old Arsenal. That’s exactly what it was. Lots of ball, nice on the eye, but not clinical enough, shit off the ball and painfully naive.

Games like this all about the result and from the moment we scored, i me ver thought Arsenal would win.

Hasselbaink is another absolute cretin.

“When it’s lesser teams”

What, like Southampton or Leicester? We’ve shown different sides to ourselves in these four wins, but all built on a foundation of hard work.

I like the way he says guuud

Must’ve sacked the Scouser

Arteta £#%&!ed it with his desperation subs.

They have looked pretty good this season, credit where its due. They "hadn't played anybody" but regularly slipped up in such games before now. And we looked pretty much their equals.

Merson is absolutely sick. He'll be banging on about this result in 15 years time.

Great to see.
