If only!! He probably has no idea the game is going ahead tonight! Nor that it might only reap a cool £1M profit margin.... :x

Sums us up pretty well! He would be a great addition to the squad. I have watched a few times this season, really good keeper & level head for one so young.

Still what a pile of poo tonight................ :cry: :cry:

Good luck Alexis and thank you!

Wenger is rightly receiving shit for this season, but how does Maureen get away with spending gazzilions of pounds, playing shit football and finishing 6th?

The club announced the attendance as 59,510. It's time for the PL to clamp down on this bullshit.

Depends who you mean?, but for starters he's only had 2 poor season's in the PL so far compared to Wenger who's up to at least 8-10 now, perhaps next season if he doesn't turn it around he will get a bit of flack from the press, if you mean from the board - remember they are American's just like ours, so 100% focused on profit over actual success, hopefully he's been found out and continues to waste money and drag United down like Wenger has here.

Overall though just fed up with looking for reasons to laugh at Spurs, United, Liverpool etc. just because we have won zero major trophies for over a decade, first we laugh at one then when they are better than us we laugh at another one, it's pretty pathetic really, in the end on our current trajectory pretty soon we'll run out of other clubs to laugh at.

It is his first season at United and they could well end up with TWO trophies!

Wenger has won two in the last 13 years!!!

Ozil created 12 chances tonight, which is a Premier League record. Nice stuff.

Not only is Alan Parry a :censored: ... he is one of those :censored: that tries to cover up his own mistakes. And there are plenty of those as he has always been a really shit commentator.

A case in point tonight:

Late in the game with Sanchez on a hat-trick, the ball is played through to a lone Arsenal player nearing the edge of the Sunderland box.

Parry squeals excitedly in that high-pitched nasal voice:

''And that's a lovely ball to Sanchez ''


Except it wasn't Sanchez, it was Walcott :roll: Fair enough we all make mistakes, so just be a man and correct it.

But oh no!

Cue classic Alan Parry:

'' And Walcott's there as well '' :roll: :roll:


As well as who, Alan? There wasn't anyone else there! You're rubbish and you're a fraud!

Kept going and got there in the end. That said I do question the logic of playing 5 defenders at home to sunderland though :? ... seems excessive and Gibbs is shite.

Anyway, it goes to the last game now; that's the important thing. COYG! (... and boro)
And there are thousands & thousands like you...that is why we cannot shift this parasitic limpet.

In this case it is an even bigger lie than normal..Counting unused season tickets as sold seats isn't a correct measure of the actual attendance but it isn't uncommon either.
However last night there were thousands of empty seats after tickets had gone on general sale..Surely general sale cannot come from season tickets , it has to come from poor uptake from silver and red members..So it begs the question of how the club can come up with an attendance figure of 59,510..?

WALCOTT :box: :cussing:
Another stuff up in the couple of minutes he was on the field. Waste of time, space & money.
Welbeck & Iwobi looked lively when they came on & should start Sunday v Toffees. I agree with all the previous posts praising Pickford, what a future awaits this young keeper - wish it was with us !. :barscarf: :barscarf:
