And now Wilshere red heh. Ferguson was clever enough to sub Cleverly before he got red.

The difference is Arsenal were behind, getting soundly beaten and realistically Wilshere is our best player. It was a gamble, but it's not like there was anyone on the bench who was going to turn this game around. Not seen an Arsenal team so devoid of ideas or cutting edge in years.
think I predicted for 2-1 united win but not really looking likely atm.

Santos will make Nani look like Ronaldo.
EDIT: After last season Mertesaker hast turned out the best defender in the league, at least one positive thing this season.

It's coming in 1.2!!!
Have to agree. Always been a big fan of Wenger, even over the last couple of years, but the transfers just haven't worked out this time. Arteta isn't Fabregas, nor is Cazorla, Podolski just isn't what Arshavin was and RVP was nigh on irreplaceable. Unless they find their feet quickly, it's going to be a very long season.
Sir Alex should be disappointed today. We've had enough chances to put this to bed by a mile, and squandered them.

I fear the day when wenger has to leave tbh, its gonna be a long time when he's gone with nothing at all (CL football), I can't really see many people coming in and not letting us go into a dark place for a few years, Mourinho being one and possibly Guardiola being the other, I wouldn't mind seeing Moyes though

That said, peach of a shot from Cazorla.

United could of easily made this game close to what last years score line was but yea both teams were terrible today, i'm glad SAF took Cleverly off when he did by the way it was going he woulda got a red 2
I still really wish we had gotten Sahin, think he would have been really good for arsenal, or possibly M'vila

We still haven't seen how this Arsenal team can play when everybody is fit, but then again no team has 100% roster at this stage of the season. We need a new left back pronto, Santos is just not a PL player. Missing Wilshare for the next game will be bad as well, with the lack of creativity we have atm.

Messi's had a son it seems, there's already a cracking twitter parody at https://twitter.com/MessiThiago_
Apparently Messi is 869 days younger than Cristiano Ronaldo.

Pointless fact of the day.

Drawing 1-1 away at Charlton just as the 2nd half Kicks Off. Johnny Woodgate heading us on level terms just before HT. Id take a draw away but still think we can claim all 3, second in the league as things stand!
Saw the Arsenal line up today, swapped my scorers around in the predictions and dropped Fellani for Rooney.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.....

Well, Chelsea's week can be summed up in a single word.
Hernandez.

Rangers won 7-0 against Alloa in the Scottish Cup today, nice bounce back after the midweek defeat to Inverness, scored goals in bunches today which is always nice to see, unless you happen to be on the receiving end of it!
Koodledrum - Balnazzar EU - 85 Priest - Retired.
Nice result for rangers as you said. We managed to win 1-4. Joint top now, watching Bolton V Cardiff eagerly, cheering on Bolton. 6 games won in a row, including a Premier League Scalp Vs our North-East neighbours Sunderland, Good times to be a boro fan at the minute. This could be our year.
