    Bit nervous about tonight. Really would have welcomed the new manager against a side that we have consistently underperformed against for a number of years.

    Maybe a welcome for Rangnick pre-match would be a good lift for the crowd, ala Varane.

    As long as we dont make any errors, with whatever 11 Carrick puts out, that for me is the best thing we don't know the 11, so Arsenal will be guessing as well. Come on lads get a run going from today.

    Is this like a new XG thing I’m unaware of?

    Arsenal are in-form probably one of the most in-form sides right now.. so a draw is a good result like against Chelsea but I bet redcafe and the media isn't as positive about the result if we draw against Arsenal as they was with the plucky Chelsea draw. Even if we play better, have more shots etc all stats are better than the Chelsea game.
    I’ve watched them a lot and they’re not that great. I think they are the same as they were last season, decent structure defensively but they lack quality in a lot of areas compared to the best teams (I guess it’s arguable if we’re a good team these days but personnel wise I still think we are). I’m going comfortable 2-0 United win, let’s throw in an AWB assist for good measure ;)

    It's "gegen" (just the one "g").

    That’s a lot to say about a team you find irrelevant - and drawing 36 and winning 2 would give you 42 points a figure unlikely to lead to relegation. I wasn’t taking the piss out of United though I agree your form recently has been, shall we say, less than impressive. All now for you hangs on your new saviour, Rangnick - let’s see how that works out.
    I didn't say I find you irrelevant....I said you are BECOMING irrelevant.

    AWB was not seen at the hotel last. Anyone have an update on this?

    Is he in the squad?

    I can't see why he's not at ot coaching now. Officially he's just observing if anyone asked. Same as picking the team. He could then sit in directors box officially as a fan and give his in match orders to fletchers earpiece. Who can stop him?
    It would just be unnecessary to risk any sort of delay or anything by doing that rather than just following the rules and making it easier.

    Can't make my mind up whether we are going to thump them or get thumped - pretty much sums us up!

    There is something especially revolting about losing to Arsenal. Probably their absolute cockwart fans.

    Please Christ win tonight.

    Nah for me, you lot are the absolute pits. "same old Arsenal.,..always cheating" and all that. The way you go on about the Invincibles is laughable. I'd love Norwich, Derby or a club like that to draw 36 games, win 2 and still get relegated and make an absolute mockery of that fake accolade. You still think you're a massive club yet you take the piss out of United because most of their fans don't have a Manchester accent or postcode....and you've been shit in Europe for decades. You're gradually becoming irrelevant but you can't see it. You're not even the biggest club in London anymore. United haven't pulled up trees for years but we're always front page and always will be. The way you abused Wenger after all he'd done for you is unforgivable and how you took the piss out of Emery was a disgrace. Arteta's perfect for you as you don't deserve a decent manager. Then there's the way you treated your staff during the pandemic...and the exorbitant ticket prices...and the way you constantly push your merch. Then there's all those godawful fan channels that Arsenal fans are trying to grift on... I could go on.

    For me Arsenal are the lowest of the low. Their fans are just the worst probably some of the most deluded in the world, followed by the Berties, then the Dippers.
    I feel so embarrassed for you :lol: Yikes.

    Well said…as for the fans tv channels, I assume you’re referring mainly to AFTV which many Arsenal fans, myself included find tedious and boring. Having said that, it’s really not that much different to other fans tv channels even though, for some reason, AFTV has more prominence.
    On the caf, there's a lot of hatred towards clubs that've gotten the better us in the past, including Barca and Arse. It reeks of entitlement.

    For me personally, the rivalry starting fading when the old men retired. You try to play good football, so there's not much to dislike these days.

    6 pointer in the race for top 4, it's a shame Rangnick couldn’t have been in charge for this but hopefully the players have a big performance in them tonight.

    Neither will happen don't worry. I think United is going to win this one just because Ronaldo. As solid as we have been defensively we still give away a few clear cut chances here and there. Ramsdale has had a bit of work to do. But when it's Ronaldo taking those, it's a different story...
    Plus we rarely score more than 1 at Old Trafford and considering our offensives issues i can see this being a 1-0 or 2-0 United.
    This would not be the end of the world but this is a good chance to stay in the fight for Europe.

    I expect nothing but the absolute maximum expression of the gegenpressing.

    Apparently AWB’s been dropped, don’t rate him whatsoever but it’s not the right call to throw Dalot in. He’s an absolute calamity and only signed because he had a decent game in a meaningless one against Liverpool.

    Whatever it is though, I’ll support the boys as usual tonight. 4:15am kick off here :lol: Just have that feeling that OT will be that tad bit louder tonight, which is why I really think we should press them from the off. It’s about time we beat these, how can Manchester United go 7 games without beating Arsenal?

    Man United 2-0 Arsenal.

    We're completely shit at the minute and I expect us to lose, but we desperately need to win this
