Classy lot those Chelsea fans eh? Not.

A fair way to go before they catch up with some of the scum that support your team - or perhaps you have a short memory?

 

[Menace]

Leeds need to start picking up points. Today would be a good start.

 

[webster]

If City win this aftrernoon and Arsenal/United share the points later things will start to get very interesting at the top.

 

[webster]

Can't see Wolves keeping 11 players on the pitch - ref looks completely out of his depth.

 

[Menace]

At least Leeds got a point. Didn't see it but was it the usual keystone cops stuff?

 

[Weekender]

Rashford...what a goal.

 

[Weekender]

Oh this is shaping up nicely...I was in the middle of criticizing Arsenal for "wasting the corner".

I'd like to know why Arteta consistently goes unpunished for spending virtually the whole match outside his technical area?

He's heading for a fall.
Yellow card and I think they'll start cracking down on him.

They need to - I don't see any other manager in the PL doing that - he's virtually on the pitch.

 

[Woodface]

Proper game this

 

[webster]

Arsenal should be out of sight - United can't get near them.
If this finishes level Ten Hag will be a lot happier than Arteta.

 

[Weekender]

As a Newcastle follower it gives me a (historic and atypical) frisson of delight to say neither of these teams can defend.
I'd take a few of the forwards on the pitch today mind.

 

[Menace]

Thoroughly enjoyable encounter, both were abit fragile defensively I thought.

A most annoying t***. He gets away with not only going wherever he likes but barating refs on a regular basis.

 

[webster]

Any thoughts of the league title being more than a two horse race disappeared with this result.
I think Arsenal have yet to play City in the league which means it's still far from over.
It has to be said though - 50 points from 19 games is quite remarkable.

I think this is just what they all do.
Not a great deal of respect for the officials

I don't agree - he's taken it to a whole new level.
If all the other PL managers behaved like that it would be nipped in the bud tout de suite.

 

[Sloop John B]

As a United fan I’m just glad that halfway through Ten Hags first season we are competing in these types of matches again, the better team on the day one. I think Casemiro would have had an effect of making it a bit closer competition particularly in the latter stages of the second half.

Arsenal do now look the real deal again after years in the wilderness, but I’m happy enough as I feel we are on that road as well.

Burn and Almiron (or A N Other) were doubling up on Saka. Erikson gave him way to much room; Casemiro would've been all over him.
