So far, so good. Defensively we've done very well. Ok going forward too. Great header from RVP. Need the 2nd goal.
Losing Vida will be a blow.

If he was knocked out, then rightly he will not come out for the second half.
A true man does not get knocked out by someone else's groin
More of the same please.
Half the job done... Need another to be safe
I'm afraid that Vidić will be subbed, good half from us, very good I'd say, Oliver is a cnut, we should've had a penalty and that yellow for Jones was cringeworthy. Come fecking on United, we can do it.
Vidic spitting blood?
I'm sure he'll come out for the 2nd half

Vidic loves a good tackle
Perfect so far.
Arsenal have been very poor. Ozil's been invisible. Carzola looks like their most threatening player.
Let's not have one of those second halves.
Why should he book Giroud? He's fouled twice. You do realize that he was offside a lot, not considered to have fouled anyone.
Well, for sure, no one´s going to want to get in the way of a DDG punch from now on.
That should be enough to all oppositions not to feck with him
Vidic has been immense. Really hope he makes it back out for the second half. If not, we'll have to upset our midfield as well to push Jones back.
Well done to all so far.
Whatever happens today and rest of season hope we play every game with this kind of energy.
great stuff so far, but screwed if Vidic can't continue.
And this ref is out of his depth. He could do anything.

I haven't seen Özil in about a month.
The Guardian live text guy really doesn't like United.
Good first half, we look well organised and up for it. Arsenal haven't got off the bus, or haven't been allowed to. You have to expect that they'll come out flying in the second half.
Honourable mention goes to the ref, purely for the comedy value of some of his decisions.

Another pisspoor refereeing display by Oliver, must be time to promote him again. Get your passport you're off to Brazil.
Just got to make sure we don't make an error at the back as we've been doing all season long and they probably won't score. Ramsey and Ozil have been horrendously bad for them. Contrast that with Rooney Kagawa and Valencia who have been energetic and generally used the ball very well.
Not realistic. You can't play every game like this or you'll burn out eventually.
Defended well, Arsenal can't get any rhytm going. We should do a bit more in attack, it's a little bit blunt but I'll take this if we can restrict them to absolutely nothing like we've done so far.
I still don't understand how we didn't get a penalty for Giroud taking out Rooney. That was as stonewall as they get.

But he gets up and doesn't roll around like a fanny. He is a man.
Phil Jones bossing it. More of the same second half and we'll be fine.
Bring on Nani or Adnan for Vidic if he can't continue, Valencia to RB. Jones stays in midfield and then is later replaced by Cleverley.
So, Jones at CB and Fellaini on?
After being ko'd by De Gea, the chances of Vidic coming out after that are very close to zero. As others have said and myself, he was knocked out cold at the moment of impact.
Haven't we seen it before? Arsenal on a high and playing beautiful football, comes to OT, get roughed up by us and retreats back to their shell.
Jones and Smalling have been excellent for us. Ozil, as expected, is unable to influence to game when things don't go well.

Forget this game, losing Vidic could be terrible for our entire season. He's been immense yet again.
Hopefully we add to the goal and not sit back now.Rooney, Valencia and Vidic have been really good.

This exact thing came to me when I read that comment but I thought it was too mental to post
Phil fecking Jones.
That's all.
That's all.
No Fellaini please, too immobile for a quick game like this.
