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

Do we already have some injury news from United?
Our squad is fully fit. Only Tomiyasu is being managed? Lol.

Malacia, Maguire are out for sure.
Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, Varane, Shaw are all expected to return on or around 12/05, our gameday.
Rashford, McTominay, Bruno Fernandes, Martial & Lindelof also had 12/05 as possible returndate, lol.


So only for sure Kambwala, Maguire & Malacia are out.

The rest might be back or close to that, but won't be fit at all I guess?

Anybody got good updates around them?

No, no, Tomi is fit but has been allowed 'time off"

Nearly every team got their “first win at OT in x years” in 13/14 but we still flopped there despite beating Liverpool and Dortmund that same week. In 15/16, we were the only team above the relegation zone to lose at Stamford Bridge. The psychology of these grounds does matter.

When was the last time there was this gulf in quality between the two sides? Do you think Havertz and Rice give a **** about "OT"?

Last season we played them off the pitch and were robbed by VAR. That first goal is allowed and we go on to smoke them IMO.

This is the worst United team since before Ferguson. Yes, worse than the Moyes team. So we should, psychology or not, win on Sunday.

These comments have got me excited. COYG!

Thank you. Im a very decent poster indeed.

Arsenal need to employ a NLP practitioner or something then, because this is ridiculous. They're not even the same team that has lost time after time. Mentality monsters like Havertz and Rice will probably be like "let's just fogging gooooo!"

I meant to quote the poster that quoted Red cafe

Everyone here saying all these Utd played missing - just seen a report they will have up to six players returning, not sure how reliable it is.

Neither of them have won at OT either, so who knows.

We had a better team in 13/14, 14/15, 15/16 and last season but couldn’t win. The atmosphere has intimidated the team imo.

Surely Anfield has a more intimidating atmosphere than OT

And look at our record there

Ok, you win. We will never get over the JuJu. We might as well stop talking about this season then.

Who said that? Relax bro, I think we’ll win but I’d be surprised if it was a demolition job like some are expecting.

 

[Gooner505]

It’s going to be a close game. We’ll have nerves playing at OT and they will be playing for their manager’s job. I’m predicting a 2-1 Arsenal win, with Rice scoring the winner again.

Aye, I think it is bordering on mad jinxiness to stick out our hairy chest on how easy this will be.

..like they have all season while getting better and better at it recently...

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

just been informed AG to step down as moderator if we lose this one

It’s the latter for me, not in the least worried about the ****ed

 

[RichWeath]

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

This is a good point. I'm not sure you actually deserve to watch the game

 

[Riou]

Özil and Sanchez at their best...

 

[Malky]

This is going to be one of those games where we’re expected to run riot, miss chance after chance and they’ll get a questionable pen.
This should be another comfortable 5-0, but it’s Old Trafford and our record there is atrocious, regardless of how **** United are now.
