Did they really? Why?

Not sure if serious

Are we talking about Partey?

Are we talking about Partey?

Yeah

 

[JJ12]

Yeah

And are we talking about Arsenal or United fans booing?

Arsenal fans booing. My stream was frozen at the time, so just hearsay (hearboo?) from my side

I understand his background and opposing fans booing him but Arsenal fans have generally stood by him. Has anything new happened?

May or may not be related and we probably shouldn't talk about it too much:

Wait, Jesus started? I didn't even notice him

He got injured for blatantly tackling Bruno

Ahhhh that was him. Good stuff.

That Havertz chance at the end of 90 mins was a handball not that the ref or linesman were going to call it

 

[The Serpent]

I don't usually jump on the anti united ref conspiracy but that ref today definitely had it in for us. That was never a penalty, Martinelli touch took the ball into the path of Martinez before he went down like he had been shot. That could have easily lost us the game. No wonder Maguire was pissed

Easily the best post I have read for a very long time. Wish I had posted that.

Thanks

What a win today! To play that long with 10 men and regain a bit of composure after the quick red/goal combo was impressive and I didn't think we had it in us. I was raging at Dalot for being stupid and then for the team conceding immediately but I must give credit now.

Great performance by Bayindir. I must say I feared the worst when he started, but really only his long ball distribution was off but he nailed everything else today.

Nice moment for Zirkzee to score the winning penalty too after the incident a few weeks ago.

Jesus out for a while, should be back around Easter

Few stats.

Man United have eliminated Arsenal from the FA Cup more than any other side in the competition history (nine times)

11 years in a row United have now won a FA Cup 3rd round tie last defeat was under Moyes against Swansea at home in 2014.

Arsenal eliminated from the competition in the third round in back-to-back campaigns for the first time since 1995/1996.

The boos when Arsenal subbed on Diddy

Arsenal fans didnt even applaud the substitution and I think there was boos from both sets of fans

That is a good one.

Fantastic performance, I can't remember when we've showed such fight and resilience in the face of such blatant play acting and one of the worst refereeing displays I've seen in many a year.Arsenal have forgot how to play football, the drama before every set piece is embarrassing.

Anyway Feck them and their odious little prick of a manager, Everyone was Fantastic, Dalot aside,especially Bayandir, Maguire and De light.

Very proud tonight.

100% agree.

 

[arthurka]

Same old Arsenal, always cheating..

[Andersons Dietician]

Props to Maguire and DeLigt they were on Gandalf mode. I loved that defending actually looked like it meant something and that they were playing in a life or death manner.

Even after Harry went off seeing DeLigt and Yoro geeing each other up. Reminded me of when Varane and Licha were a fecking wall celebrating defending.

Some proper standout performances today.

Arsenal fans moaning about the 'headbutt'...

 

[OleGunnar20]

I agree with you (rather than the jokers offering their critiques of the likes of Zirkzee, who was immense). I include on that Dalot, too. This kind of performance is on the edge stuff, giving it everything. He was a billionth of a second late, ref made a call he was entitled to. Stuff happens. We move on. But that ref gave United nada. All game.

Yep, it was that kind of game, with a nightmare of a ref. It happens, and I'm chuffed with all of them Dalot included. We're showing spirit like I haven't seen since SAF, and that's huge.

Is this a real foto? Looks as if theres some sort of filter on, isn't it?

That’s crucified their attacking options.

 

[Berbaclass]

 

[BaguetteBoy]

Well worth a watch. Leny and De ligt

 

[Nobby style]

None. Wenger and Arsenal are a close second.

Don’t get me started on George Graham and those fecking boring defensive minded Arsenal sides of the 80s and 90s. Stroller and his ‘cup specialist” sides. Fook off.

 

[Hoof the ball]

Funny the ref didn't see this

I'm still mad Casemiro was sent off for hand around the neck of a player. I've never seen anyone else get a red for it

 

[Red in STL]

That’s crucified their attacking options.

There'll be a resurrection though

 

[rojodiablo]

Hopefully this win will boost our confidence for the remainder of the season. So proud of our boys!

 

[Paul McMinn]

Keown is broken

Good , one of the dirtiest players of the last 30 years

 

[Herschel Krustofsky]

what a pen from Yoro

Very cool. Bodes well

Think it even hit his right arm and then left hand afterwards. Luckily he missed.

A Google search for Havertz handball finds some previous examples ...

Top 10 highlights/favourite moments of this game:

- Raheem Sterling living up to his previous tradition of lethal finishing vs United, by getting a chance, and having a shot that was so bad it set up a counter attack.

- Havertz nearly accidentally scoring from a cross by the ball bouncing off him and taking it out of the path of the keeper and towards the goal, only for him to then feel the need to try and kick it in anyway and loft it over the bar in the process.

- The bizarre first half logic of the ref that every single contact is a foul, except when the contact is so severe it causes one player's boot to fly off and the other to go off on a stretcher with a serious injury, in which case it is not a foul.

- Bayindir redemption ark. Particularly him celebrating at himself after the first penalty save.

- United following up a game of exhausting high pressure drama with a borderline disrespectful penalty shootout reel of either casually placing the ball to within 1 cm of the post, firing it into the corner at 90mph, or simply walking up to the ball and waiting for the keeper to fall over. Then almost to a man laughing about it afterwards, as if it was the plan all along purely to sh*touse the other team for 120 minutes.

- When De ligt helped Havertz tick off another box on his "ways to miss an open goal" bingo card, then celebrated whilst also falling into the net like a trapped fish.

- Arsenal's weird indecisiveness between wanting to hurry up and get on with the game, and also feeling the need to host a club AGM before every single set piece.

- Dalot with the most Dalot thing ever of noticing the ref desperately wants to send someone off, so proceeding to commit two utterly blatant yellow card offences that would be a sending off in any game regardless of who the ref was anyway. Then STILL seeming genuinely shocked at being sent off.

- The sweet, sweet justice of seeing a team spend the whole game acting like a bunch of twats, only to end up losing the game partly due to devoting so much energy to being twats instead of trying to win.

- When Martin Keown had to do the draw for the next round about 2 minutes after the game finished.
