Just watched the game. Buzzing. The whole team equally terrific.. T'was thinking yesterday mauling coming. 5 0 maybe, was leaning towards giving the gooners one goal but not for a minute did I think eight for us.

The old man is a genius.

The team is much more dynamic and all happened seamlessly. Thats the genious of it. Virtually new team that looks like its been playing together for years. We made arsenal look a pretty pub team. weakened team? dont give a toss. full advantage taken.

Ashley Young is not United quality, that was the opinion of many on this site. Whoever SAF brings in people should get behind them. If Ashley Young was called Aslova Younchez and cost 30M most people would have said it was an excellent signing.

Yes we played a weakened team today, but they still had senior players like Szczesny, Koscielny, Van Persie, Walcott, Ramsey, Rosicky, Djourou & Arshavin in the team. That's EIGHT of their main squad. Even Jenkinson has made his mark in the team. Yes they were a weakened team, but a team with these players in it shouldn't have lost by eight goals today.

Tony Cascarino. You are a clown To say a player was having a 'holocaust' of a game is not only offensive, but shockingly ignorant. You should be sacked on the spot for that, and never allowed to be a pundit again. It's bad enough that you haven't a clue about football, and you're voice being the most annoying thing in the world, but to say something like that is just unbearably stupid. How Sky Sports employed you is just beyond me. You should get a brain transplant, because the one you have clearly has no function. I would expect an apology from you, but you would probably end up making that offensive aswell.
Yours Sincerely

Hey guys,

Great performance today, was amazing being at Old Trafford for it. got home and watched it on Sky + and watched Cleverleys performance closely. No doubt the boys got talent but I fink he should b palying understudy to a big cm. Everyone knows my first choice is Sneijder but if that doesn't happen Modric is an absolutely amazing option, he doesn't wanna b there and apparently he begged not to b chose today. I love everything about Sneijder he would b amazing in that position, think about it, Rooney is playing amazing at the moment but he's basically doin the work he shudnt have to, he's dropping back but if we had Sneijder doin the job Rooney is currently doing then Rooney would be even better and b scoring even more. Everyones talking bout Suarez being best in the prem but I think Rooney put that debate to bed today, he's back to his best :D Really impressed with Anderson, i've slagged him off before saying he's not good enough but he is really proving me wrong. City looking very strong but I fink we've got enough quality to win number 20, really hoping we sign Sneijder though,as sad as it sounds I pray every night that we sign him.

Two fantastic games today - although lost power here in Boston due to Hurricane Irene and missed City Spurs from 3-0 on. Power restored to catch the end and no issues for the United game.

Both Manchester clubs made a BIG statement today..City will push hard this season.

I think however some here are in danger of not seeing the wood for the trees. We need this player, we are lacking this....

Look at the players available, the options these players offer, the competition for places and the balance to the squad.

Defence (albeit De Gea is still the weakest link) is solid with Rio, Vidic and the twins all still out.

SAF has a lot of options with the players available and knows he can use a lot of these guys in different positions.

Jones/Fletcher if you need to have more bite in the middle.

Experience in the form of Giggs, Carrick and Park to rotate / help Cleverley / Andersen continue to develop.

Forwards that are a real scoring threat - even without having started the leading scorer from last year. Wellbeck's injury shows the need for the depth and I expect to see Berba featuring soon.

Valencia still to start and Chica catching up.

Nani still to hit form.

Young and Rooney a threat to any defence.

I like what I'm seeing and I'm sure SAF does too.

This team will score goals. This team will challenge on all fronts.

Well thats 8-2, the best performance for quite a while in front of goal. I worry about Chico not being on target for the last two games - but in 23 matches pre season, league, reserve and charity shield we have totalled 84 goals.

Don't think we will sign anyone now..we will wait till next summer and sign 18 year old Jose Manuel Iturbe. Mendes is his agent so that will probably make things go smoother, United DO have first option on him at the end of the season after he has had plenty of European experience this season. Nothing going on in January either, other than maybe an unheard of player like Diouf and Manucho were.

Arsenal fan here Just wanted to congratulate u on a fine win.

We were very very weak. 4 players on their debut, a 19 year old who was playing non-league at xmas. Not good enough Mr Wenger.

BUT even if we still had Cesc and Nasri and had a full 1st team i dont think we would of got more than a draw. Rooneys finishing as world class.

Hopefully this loss will make Wenger realise he HAS to buy. Imagine if we'd got a draw or won?? It would of been "zis team is gud enuff".

Well, its not. You never win anything with kids, right? Well we havent

I'm sick to the back teeth right now. Enjoy your night boys. You deserve it.

I think Jones could be an awesome DM as he has the composure and drive to make him a success as a DM, but equally he is a superb defender and i think he will partner Vidic in the middle of defence along with Smalling at RB. I glad that Fergie has bought and promoted English players. It will help Utd and England out long term. Look at Scottish football loads of foreigners and no scottish players... if were not careful we will end up not qualifying for euros and world cups etc. I think that too many people want all the foreign top players to be brought then make out if don't buy them then we won't win anything.

Its time to stop looking at the sun star, mirror etc who report rubbish most of the time. They print rubbish so that they can sell more papers.

just want to say de gea is starting to prove his doubters wrong already,deserves more credit for his penalty save than hes getting,would have been 1.1 and although doubtful,could have been a different game,that save at the startof the 2nd half proved crucial as well as that would have made it 3.2 and panic could have set in,also looked good on crosses,the goal he should have probably saved but wasnt a massive mistake,walcott gave it a good thump

All this talk of not having enough possession in the arsenal game is ludicrous. Normally arsenal completely control the games against us and without looking at stats would say it is a 55-45 split in their favour. We have turned that around today and scored 8 goals yet we are lacking something? Would like an extra body for midfield but don't think it is needed.

I posted earlier today saying many people were underestimating Arsenal and I thought it would only be a comfortable 2-0. Very happy to be proved wrong. Young, Rooney and Smalling were the stand outs for me and hopefully the pen save will give De Gea more confidence. Once Vermaelen wasn't in the team it was a much easier task for us today. If he was in I doubt it would have been 8 but we still would have won handsomely. Despite the fact Arsenal were well below full strength it should take nothing away from our performance and for the next few hours us fans should enjoy the fact we have stuffed them :) Happy Days.

I'm watching united arsenal match on sky. we're slaughtering them they got lucky with the goal de gea saved a penalty but let walcott's shot through his legs. so far:
de gea: 6/10 saved a weak penalty from RVP but made a massive error later on.
evra: 8/10 done well getting up and some brilliant crosses.
smalling: 10/10 putting in the tackles at the back then springing forward and making amazing passes.
evans:4/10 gave a penalty and been letting RVP, rosicky and walcott past him all day.
jones: 7/10 alright been making some good interceptions at the back.
young: 10/10 brilliant. crosses, shots and passes were all better than everyone else's.
nani: 6/10 has put in some alright crosses.
anderson: 9/10 some amazing passes and crosses.
cleverley: 5/10 nothing to say.
rooney: 9/10 amazing goal ang good crosses.
welbeck: 7/10 good goal and unlucky with his injury.
hernandez: don't know, he's only just come on.

I don't need you guys to agree with me, but I'm sure, we're not strong enough to compete for the Champions League. First half against Spurs, you guys saw the game even the West Brom , we won the games but we struggled alot to control the game. We need a CAM and a RD. You may say that we've Cleverly, Pogba and Smalling or the Twins. But against Barcelona, Madrid, Chelsea, Bayern, you'll see the weakness of this Squad and the Season is long and our back up for CM are Carrick and Fletcher.


Nasri- 45minutes, two assists so His wages are worth to pay.

With the Singapore floatation getting closer let us call upon the Glazers to use the money they make to clear some of the clubs debt. Hopefully this will be the start of them clearing off but lets make sure they don't do a runner and leave a big debt. If you are going to the game today be outside the Megastore at 2.50 for a photo opportunity. Please turn up wearing Green Gold or Red and show those money grabbing leaches what we think of them.

i think some people are getting far too over confident and thinking we only have to turn up this afternoon. Whilst i expect us to win it wont be by four goals thats just silly. An animal is at its most dangerous when its wounded. We have to respect arsenal and at the same time take them apart.

First time i've had a deek at the Utd page being a Liverpool fan. Ed007 if you post this,in your heart of hearts Kun doesn't get near Suarez,no where near. You can say Little Pea,i think he is a class act but not in Suarez's class. And i doubt he'd alert Liverpool to Coates if he wasn't going to hang around. Why would he leave a team that top players in January after they see were we are. Its defo a 3 way race. Write him off all you want but when Gerrard's back,he'll make in even bigger difference. Belive me,we've got the bargain of the season in Enrique and we're still getting better and better. Your keeper could turn out to be a world beater but i wouldn't ever take the piss out of the prices we've paid with how much he cost. He's a young man and like some Liverpool fans were jumping down Henderson's throught you have to give young players more then 2 or 3 games to judge them. I truly belive that we'll push you more then most this season and your the team to beat no doubt,but when the s**t hits the fan,it'll be a close run race that should be fun to watch. Kun Ed007, behave,galls me to say it but your number ten is better then him. 3-0 i'm afraid to say tomorrow,Arsenal really are in bad shape and if Vermulen was injured they'd be even in more crap that their in already,dont know who or how but easy 3 points for you's tomorrow. Tighter then some of you think me thinks. Jonson6 {Ed002's Note - You are aware that Aguero plays for Manchester City aren't you?}

Anyone see Goetze in action against Leverkusen? Watched the whole game, Goetze had a pretty frustrating game. Was kept largely quiet in truth, a lot of stray passes and heavy touches.. Anyway my point is he got sent off for 2 silly bookings...Both of which could have been reds on their own. Slipped when through on goal so decided to leave his studs in on the keeper. Then a few mins later he kicked out again... Just saying he showed he's still lacking maturity, which isn't a dig at the player,but it confirmed in my mind that he's one for the future. Still learning his trade,maybe its best he learns the hard way at Dortmunds expense and not at Utd's. Doubt we'll be in for him this window or next.
