Why on earth have rival fans on here become so concerned about what United fans want to happen with other teams' matches? Like this week and last week has been kinda bizarre with Arsenal/Liverpool/Villa fans (!) advising or even admonishing United fans for wanting the 'wrong' team to win.Premier League Festive Season

Why on earth have rival fans on here become so concerned about what United fans want to happen with other teams' matches?

Unreal.
West Ham 1 - [2] Southampton - James Ward-Prowse 61' (Penalty)
We have to win all 3 of our games in hand to go 1 point ahead of Arsenal. Wtf.
West Ham [2]-2 Southampton: Said Benrahma 64’
West Ham 2 - [3] Southampton - Jan Bednarek 70'
Rodri isn't even playing....
Pen Arsenal
You have an imposter on the pitch.
A couple of years ago I would have fully got that as in 19/20 i was pretty relaxed about the prospect of missing out on top 4 as I didn't think we were ready to compete in the UCL, glad we did in hindsight
You should always aim to get in it even if you think your team ain't ready because once you're in it you just never know.
Arsenal are worryingly racking up the goal difference. It could end up being crucial at the end of the season.
Lacazette scores the penalty. 0-4.
Got shot down on here for saying we'll do well to get top 4 because they play better as a team than we do. They're very well drilled, playing for the manager and are obviously buying into his ideas and look like they're enjoying their football again. Spurs are also the same, which is a big worry for us as we didn't look convincing at all vs Norwich.
And it is lying. The table may reflect points total but it is not a reference guide to use as defence for how the season will end up.
this time 3 weeks ago this place was shitting themselves over West Ham so let’s just calm down. Maybe Arsenal can play 10 more games before we play again and really stick it to us!
Defeatist oddballs with that kind of talk.
terrible by shrewsbury-hall
6-3 City
Crazy right. Can't they start losing again already!
Urgh!!
That's handball, surely?
We're allowed to assist a tap-in with the arm now? Okay good to know.
Manchester City [6] - 3 Leicester City - Raheem Sterling 87'
6-3 is still a lot better than Leicester could have hoped for after the first goal.
Down by his side and accidental. No chance
Missed it but commentator said shoulder?
Arse 5-0
Smith-Rowe with his goal off the bench again.
Top 4 is going to be difficult, but i see spurs as the main hurdle. Arsenal once again have had a favorable run of fixtures but think they will struggle against top 8 teams and drop points
Meant Dias. Point still stands.
Norwich City 0-4 Arsenal - Lacazette PK + Foul
Paul Tierney sent Robertson off for something like what Fernandinho just did. He’s on VAR today and didn’t even consider reviewing that challenge.
Comes off the side of his elbow and assists a tap-in from one yard out for Sterling, aren't those that immediately lead to a goal supposed to be called off even if accidental? Or is it only if the player brings it down for himself? I mean it literally bounces off his arm straight into the path of Sterling for a 0.95xG chance.
18 goals in 3 games for Abu Dhabi FC
Norwich 0 - [5] Arsenal - Emile Smith-Rowe 90+1'
Norwich fully in the Christmas spirit all season, just giving giving and giving.
ESR getting a goal while playing 15mn and Saka got a little rest. Perfect scenario, needs to get the same against Wolves before City 
You mean they got a stuffing.
It's been changed this year. As it was accidental it would only be an offence if Dias scored himself.
Ah okay, they've changed the rules that much.. Mental.
Partner for Partey and a striker and suddenly Arsenal may be in business
