Manchester United 3:2 Arsenal

Stretford End Phil · Feb 28, 2016

Feeling optimistic today, we're going to give them a hard game, and we should win 2-1.

DomesticTadpole · Feb 28, 2016

I am quite chilled about this. If we win I will be pleasantly surprised. If we lose I won't be surprised. I actually put it as a 1-1 draw.

Such a shame that a United-Arsenal game towards the end of the season basically has 0 importance for us.

Eh, how can you say that? We win would put us 3 points off top 4, with the team we are chasing playing shite in the league.

Here's hoping it's the chokers edition of Arsenal that shows up today.

That will happen don't worry.

I hear Smalling hasn't made the match day squad. Bad news...

We're in big trouble today I think. We really needed him fit for this one.

Litch · Feb 28, 2016

im not bothered about the outcome, more excited in the young players performances.

Yep. I think we needed him too. I suspect Martial hasn't made it either as I've heard Rashford starts.

Drifter · Feb 28, 2016

Think we'll do well today .1-0

ottosec · Feb 28, 2016

Is Martial available?

Raw · Feb 28, 2016

It'll be Carrick at CB then.

Sammyjunn · Feb 28, 2016

Just hope Welbeck doesnt score.

You lose today and against Spurs, that's your league chances done. Opinion on Wenger if that happens?

Rado_N · Feb 28, 2016

If it's correct that both Smalling and Martial are still out then we've got an even tougher task ahead of us.

I hope De God is back at least.

Samid · Feb 28, 2016

Surely Rojo at CB if Mike doesn't make it? Carrick vs Giroud and/or Wesley Snipes are obvious mismatchs.

Lineup prediction is tough this round. Basically got no clue who is fit or not.

Would love to win this today, but for different reasons than usual. It would put a huge dent in Arsenals title bid, which is funny in itself, but also gives Spurs and Leicester a big help in the league. Would also put us within touching distance of 4th again, although I think that's ultimately beyond us.

We're not surpassing any of the teams above us, they're just much better than we are.

Our season is all about fluking one of the cups.

soapythecat · Feb 28, 2016

A good performance from the youngsters today. Looking forward to seeing the lads getting some game time. 2-1 United.

WyoManU · Feb 28, 2016

Love some of your optimism, but we are gonna get battered again.

Problem with me is I quite often say this until we lose and I freak out.

SSSSnake · Feb 28, 2016

Feck Wenger! Before today I wasn't so fussed but after seeing his excuses for his team bottling it the last 11 years (blaming it on teams tapping up his players) I hope we dent their title charge. Let's hope the young guns play well

He's earned the right to go when he chooses to. If we don't win it this season then we're definitely not winning it next season. I don't think he'll renew his contract if that happens. Just hope the club find a successor.

Who's in the match day squad?

C3Pique · Feb 28, 2016

Not going to subject myself to watching this one! Off out for a nice long run and check the score when I get home methinks. Never contemplated doing that for any game before but LvG has killed my optimism.

You make me almost feel sad for him. But I'm sorry, I don't. Really really want Leicester to win it.
On the point of him earning the right to go when he chooses, I can't agree that pertains in all circumstances.

I've never been a Wenger out bandwagon member. It is what it is.

I can't give details but it was from someone who works with the players (although not usually the first team). He's rarely wrong when he passes on any team related info, although I suppose we'll see...

Hope you guys enjoy today - you're going to see a show from the 2016 Premierleague Champions.

To be fair Leicester have a better chance than Spurs.

J-Stander · Feb 28, 2016

Rashford starting according to some brainless united under 15s player, so no martial then.

Saw that on the M.E.N site. If both Smalling and Martial are missing I am worried. Might as well just sit back and await the outcome.

As above really. Been told Rashford starts so I'm assuming no Martial purely on that basis...
