Hard won victory. ?. Change of tactics and a lot of new blood so it will take time to settle and Thought the ref was a joke and VAR rears it's ugly head in week 1?♂️
Loved our Gooner fans new chant about Victor??.

Evening bill hope all’s well. Old Trafford has always been a tricky place for the ARSENAL. when we do win there it’s usually a 1-0 to the arsenal. so job done,3 points on the board. my overall observation on yesterday’s victory. was the whole team looked very leggy which made Utd look like the better team on the day. (which I hate to say) . but just an honest opinion. so to nick a goal, then keep a clean sheet was a decent enough result. overall i'd probably give us a 6 out of 10 and Utd a 7/ 10. thought raya was decent, the defence looked a bit shaky apart from big gabi. midfield was o. k but lacked any real assertiveness, gabi martinelli was not at it all, saka probably had his most ineffective game in absolutely ages and victor made some decent runs which if someone had noticed. a simple dink over the top to him and he would have been clean through on goal on a couple of occasions. basically he was starved of any real decent service… subs that came on didn’t really offer much either. so massive room for improvement all round really (and we’ve got the players to do it) . so not worried it’s good to know that even with a fairly lacklustre performance we have come away with the 3 points. however we will have to pull our socks up rather quickly as there are some very challenging matches coming thick and fast… ?⚪️❤️ COYG/ VTH….

I must confess I wasn’t shouting much at the ref Bill so I can’t have thought he was that bad but I do think we rode our luck when Big Willy fouled Cunha. Pen for me but the decision goes a small way to making up for Rooney’s cheating dive preventing us going 50 unbeaten. Not that I hold a grudge, oh and Henchoz ‘s handball in the Owen cup final! Must let it go! COYG.

Hello Gabi and Sussex, hope you and your families are good and well.
FaCannot argue with your summing up Gabi mate and Sussex mate OMG, I am still having nightmares about Henchoz handball, Rooneys dive, Barcelona, s offside goal, Rice, Trossard, Gabis red cards, Rodri, s winner against us on NYD a few seasons back a couple minutes after he smashed his forearm into Martinellis neck but Atwell said no foul, debacle at Newcastle a couple of seasons back, Bayern goalies foul on Saka not to mention the fines and punishment after the Battle of Old Trafford
The wife said I must let these things go, so I am trying????
Take care Sussex mate.

Crikey Bill I am an amateur compared to you! I must try harder it seems - not try harder to let things go but try harder to find things that I can hold as a long term grudge :) all good here thank you and trust the same with you COYG.

Neither of you seem to have taken it too hard.

RVP’s red card in Europe and that Rooney dive still bugs me. The boy was on his knees before the tackle.
