Are Arsenal allergic to sending a cross in? It's like a Pavlovian response.

So good at countering.
I fucking love this team.
Pogba has been amazing today. Lacazette has been the only decent player for Arsenal
Someone to chin that little cunt Lingaard
Lingard should drop those pricks with a milly rock.
Lingard's lucky there. Right decision to sub him off.
I'm looking forward to the Michael Carrick/Mike Phelan power struggle over the coming seasons, eventually to be settled by a ninety-nine question Manchester United quiz devised and hosted by Sir Alex Ferguson himself.
Takes a special kind of knacker to fling a coin at someone. And @Lewis, Carrick's winning that fight. He's the new McClaren.
Xhaka should get a second yellow for that tbh.
Phelan, knows the club
Phelan, Phelan, knows the club
Sergio Romero is a fucking legend by the way. Never complains, whenever he comes in he plays very well and all despite he fact he constantly bears the expression of someone in a persistent vegetative state.
There can't be many better second keepers around.
That was enjoyable.
Arsenal were dreadful.
From starting like a house on fire that little twat Torreira hasn't half been shite for the last month or so. When you've got him and Xhaka, and, allegedly, a back 4 you really shouldn't be getting countered on so easily. They probably need the best part of a new back 4, mind, and how do you solve a problem like Alex Iwobi?
Felt like United scored with every decent attack they had, and what on earth Cech was doing with that parry for the third fuck only knows.
Someone's going to give them a good shoeing at some point (as is the way with these things it'll probably be City seeing as 'Ney Ney' has died for PSG again)
Arsenal just can't break the Arsene way. There's no swiftness or directness to anything they do. Guendouzi came on and would just not ping something across the box. When you've got Lacazette, you might as well go airbourne or give him something to attack. Not piddly little side passes when the box is already clogged with Mancs.
Why would you expect them to be any different though? It's amazing to me they haven't gone backwards. Their manager is doing a super job.
The Asian Cup can get fucked cunt.
I was reading something that suggests the AFC are covering up for half the Qatar team being there on false documents i.e. they aren't eligible to play for Qatar.
Aye, it'll take a decade train some of that out of them. Hopefully Urai can get that time. Meanwhile, I'm starting to wonder if Mourinho, great as he's been, has too much baggage with him to really work a club out. Solksjaer's got the job nailed down, assuming he keeps it up until May.
Jesus she's doing Football Focus now at Fratton Park. Pretty sure soon there will be billboards up in every town. 'Alex Scott is watching you'
Mourinho is a prick. He cares more about being right than anything else and will burn a club to the ground to try and prove a point. Stunts like sending McTominay out as a centre back to get slaughtered just to make a petty point to the board about not buying him the players he wants was a disgrace.
I think another top club would be insane to hire him.
The constant random loan to buy moves is proper FM stuff.
Arsenal after the Kroenke takeover are just Mike Ashley's Newcastle writ large. The gradual realisation of this in their fanbase (this is why Mislintat has fucked off already) is glorious.
All high earning players will be gradually phased out and replaced by cheaper versions. It's likely they've won their last league for a good long while. Could threaten in the odd cup with good selections.
Funnily enough it's not technically his fault. We literally can't pay a transfer fee and wages for anyone half decent because of FFP. From January to January we went from Ozil and Sanchez earning around 300k a week to Ozil earning that and 50k on top and 2 players on 200k a week.
I have to say, whatever benefit of the doubt I was inclined to give Mourinho - players not being up to it etc. - has pretty much vanished. I think certain players were still not giving it their all under him, but the transformation in the likes of Victor Lindelof and Ander Herrera suggests that it was a general thing rather than him just finding individuals difficult. I would still be trying to bring Smallpockets in, but it he BOTTLES IT then stick with the bin man.
A beautiful challenge from Berlin
City's goal difference/goals per game in domestic cup games must be insane.
Well, that's us done for another year. No clout up front again. City next.
Millwall fans are such scum.
lol at this though.
I like them, variety is the spice of life. There isn't another club quite like them.
I'm glad VAR has removed mistakes from the game.

Everton are so shit.
That defending was glorious. Silva's last match as a manager in this country a mugging at the Den, poor guy.
Lads I am TTHing on the bus. Why was I a shitphone hipster holdout wank for so long?
Being fairly ignorant of Italian football, but casting my eye over the line-ups in the Napoli v AC Milan game, has there been an error with the Milan one, or is there, in fact, potential for a revival and reworking of the classic 2 Andy Gorams chant?
Why who’s schizo?
I'm a twit
It's more of a literal one in this case, although the position remains the same.
Why is it a secret?
I think he means there's one Donnarumma in goal and another on the bench. Had to bring in MI5 to confirm that though.
West Ham
You alright @Bam?
This is on you if they come back.
