First topic message reminder :

Cleverly ?? Are you freaking kidding me!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 28 Sep - 17:20

So Man Utd, West Ham, Man City and Palace all on my accy today, all lost Laugh

by J.Benson II Sat 28 Sep - 17:21

Moyes must really start to be feeling to pressure. Losing to Man City away is one thing, but losing home games against teams like West Brom is really going to start turning the fans against him.
As for City, I always thought it was a mistake to get rid of Mancini. With the squad they have, they really should be winning the league at a canter. One strong display every four games isn't good enough.
Arsenal really have to go for it now. A real chance for them to make a statement.

by Guest Sat 28 Sep - 17:24

You know you're in the mire when you've got Garth Crooks giving you pointers.

The way today has panned out I wouldn't be surprised to see Swansea pull off an upset.

by **Mat** Sat 28 Sep - 17:24

Get in there! Superb, love that. Come on you Baggies!

Clarke has found a formation and personnel that works. Amalfitano could be the signing of the season if he keeps this up!

United very poor, we could have won by more goals. Dream-land.

by Champagne_Socialist Sat 28 Sep - 17:33

Like I have been saying for weeks, United look poor because they failed to buy top quality players in the summer.

by westisbest Sat 28 Sep - 17:34

Buzzing about the result.

You have to beat the teams around you, anything else is a bonus.
We had a big bonus today.

Thats 2 of the top sides we have beaten this season, could/should have got something at stamford bridge.

Promising.

Need to back it up against Hull next week end.

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 17:54

You have some great players. I never really saw benteke as being the difference. but he will add to your team when he comes back. The fact is you have created a lot over the last couple of years- you have just been flaky, like so many teams are, you need to just keep up the momentum and your players need to realise they are actually very good!

I will allways look at you as a good team and its about time you pushed for europe again.

My friend is a massive fan so I do follow your performances a lot

by westisbest Sat 28 Sep - 17:57

Didnt think we had a chance today.

Sould start listening to you in future.

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 18:01

Being completely honest- I lost a bit of money on you lot last year. You ballsed that season up and totally underperformed

by Ent Sat 28 Sep - 18:06

There's being out of your depth and there's being clueless.

Really at this stage of the season having only 2 wins and struggling to create from open play never mind score - something has to be done rapidly.

With the players united have it think they've been below the minimum level I expected.

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 18:08

I think United are too tight knit to get rid of moyes so quickly- I am sure a meeting with moyes and ferguson will happen pretty soon.

Hopefully SAF can give him some advice he will take notice of.

Just imagine this team had lost rooney!!

It beggars belief tbh

by Champagne_Socialist Sat 28 Sep - 18:12

united's defence is too slow and their attacking central midfielders are not good enough.

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 18:16

Players like young, fletcher, nani and valencia have been made to look good by a legendary manager.

THE club needs to understand they aren't that good and start actually playing the talent they have at their disposal and yes they need to buy players in the window.

They do look so slow. Man u last season looked really fragile in many games- but as soon as a team got in front they turned it on!

I can't see how Moyes can make that happen again

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 18:18

This game does look abit international to me!! Not the typical PL game!

Giroud.. should have hit the target there

I think Nani is one of United's more better players. He shouldn't be mentioned alongside the likes Young and Valencia.

The problem is that United currently don't have a great deal of talent at the disposal. The majority of their players should be no more than just squad players but are making the starting eleven due to the lack of overall quality of the team.

by ONETWOFOREVER Sat 28 Sep - 18:33

Too soon to go over the top with critisi oh I can't spell it.

Its worrying we lose to W.Brom at home tho.

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 18:46

wow thats some goal by arsenal

by kingraf Sat 28 Sep - 18:50

Its the year of the Gunners! Arsenal Serge-ing to the top of the table

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 18:51

and another one- that is like barca.

Yes i said it again. And people don't like the comparison. But that is Barca style play

by kingraf Sat 28 Sep - 18:52

Ramsey is head and shoulders, and quite possibly even torso above everyone else at the moment.

£100m bid expected then...

by westisbest Sat 28 Sep - 18:54

Early days, but don't think Adrian Durham will be chirping re Arsenal.

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 18:54

I think arsenal are actually the team to go to to be honest- ramsey would be stupid to go anywhere.

adding ozil was genius.

a midfield of wilshere, ramsey and ozil is just sex

by Soldier_Of_Fortune Sat 28 Sep - 18:55

Arsenal playing like potential champions at the moment. Brilliant to watch

by Lumbering_Jack Sat 28 Sep - 18:55

Never liked Arsenal as a team but when they on form they are a joy to watch. Really please for Ramsey too, looks in great form.

Still don't think Arsenal will challenge for the title. Too defensively poor.

by Guest Sat 28 Sep - 18:56

defeat to Hull picard

by kingraf Sat 28 Sep - 18:57

To think Podolski and Santi are still injured...

by Soldier_Of_Fortune Sat 28 Sep - 18:58

And Walcott

by westisbest Sat 28 Sep - 19:03

We played them at the right time.

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 19:06

Well played Gnarby!

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 19:09

I am definitely developing a love for Arsenal at the moment.

A classy club in all respects tbh.

My new no.2!!

Trust in Wenger

Apart from the cheeky £40mill and a £1 bid Smile

And this is what could derail title hopes

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 19:13

Soldier even if they only get a top 4 then its all good for me. I am not bothered about them winning anything. I just love to watch them play.

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 19:19

They do seem to be crapping themselves a bit at the moment.

There are clearly not the finished article yet!!

They still have that head problem , I still think they have a very good shot at the title and my 8/1 will have probably shot down to 5/1 for the title after today

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 19:20

I like this ref!

decent performance by him

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 19:30

Ramsey doesn't sound welsh enough. How can we nick him!!

In a nutshell. SAF leaving is the worse thing that could have happened to Yanited and the best thing for the rest of the league.

by kingraf Sat 28 Sep - 20:16

Ramsey -> Ramses -> Egypt -> Africa -> South Africa...

Think I just made quite the compelling case for Ramey to play for South Africa.

by Guest Sat 28 Sep - 20:46

Not impressed with Swansea at all, Arsenal did the job & got the win, without really playing that well.

Not really judging Arsenal as of yet, in terms of title contenders. Think we will know if their the 'real deal' or not after November 10th. That's probably the date when you can categorically define where this club is & what they can realistically challenge for this season.

2 Nov - Premier League Arsenal vs Liverpool
6 Nov - Champions League Group Stage Dortmund vs Arsenal
10 Nov - Premier League Man United vs Arsenal

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 28 Sep - 21:01

I'll be up at 6am tomorrow to head off to the Brittania, and deep down inside I am quietly confident we will sneak a victory

by Ent Sat 28 Sep - 21:15

You on the beer Olly? Norwich away from home?

Anyway united.... Not happy at all.

Anyone know if you can stream motd live on iplayer?

by GSC Sat 28 Sep - 21:16

You can watch live tv on the beeb website yeah.

It's under tv not iplayer tho

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 28 Sep - 21:28

HALF PRICE TICKETS ENT!

Plus you know there is a slight chance, we might you know get a result. It's the hope that kills me

by Lumbering_Jack Sat 28 Sep - 21:39

Have you been to Stoke before? It is such an awful place.

by mystiroakey Sat 28 Sep - 21:41

He is following his Team.. good on him

by Lumbering_Jack Sat 28 Sep - 21:44

mystiroakey wrote:He is following his Team.. good on him

I agree, just letting him know what the place is like. One of the worst away places I've been to.

by Guest Sat 28 Sep - 21:53

Olly went there last season I believe.

by GSC Sat 28 Sep - 21:55

Tbf it's not Hull

by Ent Sat 28 Sep - 22:20

I meant them winning away not going, I'd love to go to united away games.

by GSC Sat 28 Sep - 22:23

A lot of competition for London tickets then Ent?

by Ent Sat 28 Sep - 22:29

Dunno, you've to have so many points to even apply for an away game.
