Right, Arsenal didn't win the game. United gave us the game Such gracious hosts. We all saw how good gracious you were last season, seems like you intend to carry on the same way. Many more years to Amorim, the new ETH!

No, Arsenal won the game. They didn’t deserve to. That’s the point. You know full well if that was the other way around you’d be saying the same thing fella. Either way. You’ve contradicted yourself enough to render yourself moot. It’s a good result for you. Long live the ethereal runners up

Bottling it implies they are in a winning position to do so. So no. That’s not remotely what I’m saying. It’s very very simple. On reflection of the performance alone. And given, like you said, Bayindir gifted a goal. A 0-0 draw would have been a “fair” result imo Neither team deserved to score

But arsenal did deserve to score, because they did score. After that we didn't need to score, so we sat back and kept you at arms length. Which is what you claim is "domination". But for me that's like saying you were the best loser this weekend.

Find me one single instance where I mentioned the word “domination”? And I thought you said our keeper “threw it in his own net”? So which is it? So you’re saying Arsenal played the better football and were the better team then are you?

No, you are right. You've got me there. United were the best losers of the weekend. You can file it with the trophies that couldn't save ETH his job.

They were. Agree with you. Which sucks as a United fan but it is what it is. But you’re also right that ultimately the result was correct. I’ll remember your wisdom when Arsenal next play well in a game they end up losing

Not worried, arsenal have always played the better football at old Trafford without winning, all the way back to fergie says when Neville was allowed to kick arsenal players with reckless abandon. Let's see if united created at least one big chance against Fulham!

And United deserved every single one of those wins as a result. And give me a break, Ashley Cole was renowned for being an ankle tap merchant. As excellent a player as he was. And let’s be honest, I’m sure both of us would love to go back to the quality of those games back then. We’ll see indeed

Nice whataboutery there. I loved this game, arsenal were long overdue this. After the game last season where you fluked a draw despite having 28% of possession, I didn't see many utd fan talk about who deserves what then. So it is now.
