Win Manchester United 0 - 1 Arsenal | Sunday, May 12th | KO: 16:30 GMT | Sky Sports

Here's hoping they beat us at home as comfortably as they've beaten Brighton, Bournemouth, Palace & Fulham.

It has fallen to me to shepherd our young, battle weary Gunners & will them on to see our last away match of the season in style.

It is to be the 32nd battle at Old Trafford between the two sides who, in the not-so-distant past, WERE the Premier League.

I say battle because no trip to Old Trafford has ever been a drab affair. Even when both clubs were cast into the wilderness.

Those titanic battles that did matter, usually swung the pelendulum towards the victor.



This legendary gunner knew what it's all about!!

We mustn't falter in the face of what is, undoubtedly, the worst United side since the PL era started. This is coupled with the fact they're being led by the worst United manager of said era & certainly the one most obsessed with us!!

God willing, it's a hard fought 3 points for us so that INEOS remains convinced Ten Hag is the way forward so he can fritter away another £400 million.

Manchester United 0 - Arsenal 2

We are top of the league, facing the worst Utd side since ever who also happen to be ravaged with injuries. If we don’t win by at least a 3 goal margin we don’t deserve to be champions.
But we will, this team is not scared of Utd.

Agreed, in the unlikely event we win the prem but do not beat utd 0-6 on Sunday Arteta should hand the trophy back en desgracia

Wasn't he the ref last season too who disallowed the perfectly good Gabi goal?

That was Lee mason the corrupt filth who also didn't draw the lines for our home game against Brentford when their player was offside. He stood down after that (probably sacked for blatant bias against us)

 

[NieThePiet]

I just want the showdown on the last matchday. Just look at the other result and hope it stays 0-0 for as long as possible. That's why I really want these two wins.

P.S.: City 1:0 West Ham (Haaland (2.))

My brain says we should win this, but OT is the Bermuda Triangle for us the last 15 years. I won't ever be truly confident until I see us get a win there first in normal circumstances. The Covid year with no fans doesn't count.

Grow a pair of bollox and tell her.

What grown man asks permission to do something in his own home

Uh oh, we have a true alpha in our midst.

[PrinzPoldi]

Didn't we have a losing streak against City and at Etihad before this season?

No need to bring the past history to show how good United was.
What they did on us 5, 10, 20 years ago has no meaning on this upcoming game.

No matter how serious United see this game, it can't be more serious than how Spuds saw our NLD and wanted to win.
Yet, we had no problem in the NLD.

We got results against City and Pool away this season.

If any party needs to be worried, it should be them, not us.

Play our game, cut down individual errors, we are good.

I agree. It's like Anfield and the Etihad.

Married men with kids - help me out here: How do I get my wife to let me watch this on Mother's Day?

I've never understood this "I'll ask the boss" mentality that modern men have, but perhaps that's why I never married

FWIW, I'll be able to watch the game without any begging

What solution did you find in the end? (This is assuming you didn't take some of the advice suggested to you by alpha males who don't seem to realise marriage is about compromise )

 

[Dokaka]

On paper you should absolutely smash them but we all know it's always a nervy affair against these lot, some intangible things in play here.

Their injury list is astonishing though, you'd think you were facing a late 2000s Wenger team ffs.

Compromise should be on things like going on a camping trip or a night out with friends. If you need to compromise in order to watch a football match on tv then you’re in trouble.

If you haven't laid the groundwork of making your kids want to watch Arsenal... what have you been doing?

The original post that triggered this wasn’t about watching a football match, it was about watching a football match on Mother’s Day which is indeed a potentially sticky situation.

He gave the goal, VAR disallowed it

We can't ignore the possibility of him whispering something in the VARs ear to find a possible misdemeanor!

**** that. The man's word is final. NO COMPROMISE!

It is about watching a football match and them ****ers last 90 mins. Still 1350 mins left to celebrate Mother’s Day with someone who isn’t even your mother to begin with.

 

[Haphazard]

To much PTSD from this fixture, our most cursed ground

However if we play smartly we should win

Don't understand the 3-0 shouts here, they will be much better than they were against Palace.

No… just the mother of your children… it’s only an important role for those of us who have genes worthy of replication. Which apparently isn’t the case for vast swathes of AM judging by the responses in this episode.
