Do tell us...I am genuinely intrigued that someone has so little self esteem they can waste life crowing over a defeat inflicted on us by a team they do not even support!

In many ways, I have enjoyed watching Arsenal do well this season; great club. But you are a graceless clown and an embarrassment to Arsenal FC.

Glutton for punishment I watched the game again and Wan Bissaka was very clever instead of trying to win the ball straight away v Mitoma he instead actually gave him a half a yard thus not committing himself to a change of direction from Mitoma,that split second of time and space enabled him to actually know which way Mitoma was going and then closed him down or tackled him once Mitoma had made up his mind,that was annoyingly smart and apart from 2 or 3 good chance creating occasion's the Mitoma threat was by and large contained.

Very proud of the team. We did play well - I think the Man Utd tactic of breaking up play, co-ordination of dissent, simulation etc. ultimately was effective. We had a weak bench but the options are the options. Our plan A was clearly to win it with the first XI - and we hoped not to need plan B. I haven't seen Albion (live) in a penalty shoot-out for a very long time and I was surprised how that affected me. I was really worried for Lewis (then hugely proud) - but gutted for Solly.

We have an amazing team , I still back them to get a European place.

My trip back was surprisingly decent. Chatting with a middle-aged Man Utd fan who was thoroughly decent. His view (may have been a bit of false modesty) was that in a way he would have rather we had won because he thought we had a better chance of beating Man City in a one-off match

They are obviously getting prepared for us competing with them for a place in Europe in the forthcoming seasons.

I hope your Dad gets well soon. A stroke can seem devastating but it is possible to make a good recovery if it is diagnosed and treated quickly.
My StepMum had a stroke aged 90, and although it took 6 months, she made virtually a full recovery.
All the best.

Thanks for that, TB. He's undergoing a lot of tests, today, so we should know the full extent, later.

The other thing about that was, that once Mitoma had him properly struggling from the effort in ET, they could just bring on Malacia, a top quality RB himself. We started the game having to put one of our best midfielders at RB - that there is the huge gulf you face. Taking off Martial to bring on Sancho, Eriksen can just be switched for Brazilian international Fred, Antony can be switched for experienced Austrain international Sabitzer. They could even chuck on Weghorst to hoist some balls into. It made it so tough they had so much quality to turn to - even though still largely outplayed them.

We get another chance to beat them on 4th May. Hope we give them a real footballing lesson they won't forget in a hurry.

Someone was explaining to all that could hear him the reason we didn't win was Utd have played on that pitch before and are familiar with a big pitch.

Needless to say in an even louder voice I replied it's the same size as the Amex you twat.
