Arsenal vs Manchester United *No Stream Requests Allowed*

jester77

I can see Arsenal winning 2-0 with 10 mins to go, before Moyes pulls a tactical masterstroke by bringing on the sub-keeper to play up front and he scores a 10 min hattrick.

3-1 to Arsenal.

It's not that long ago is it? The 1- 0 win when Ramsey scored ?

5 years would have been the time before with Nasri's brace unless time really is flying!!

DvB

Cant see United losing this, given Arsenals recent record against them & the added pressure heaped on after their spanking at the weekend i expect Arsenal to do what Arsenal do best, crumble.

Rosicky is so past it now though, if he starts it's advantage united.

Perhaps the most ridiculous comment I have ever read on this forum and Ive read some bad ones!!!

I see AP McCoy in on the way to the Emirates shouting for the Gunners .

We all know who wins when he gets his head in front .!

Last time we beat United was that Ramsey game at the tail end of the 2010/2011 season.

Over the past 5 years;

League P9 (Up to tonight) | United (7) Draw (1) Arsenal (1)

You can add an FA Cup win for United in that 5 year period too.

Go back another year and you've two further CL losses, a draw in the League and that Nasri game we won.

So out of 14 games in the last 6 years;

Manchester United 72%
Arsenal 14%
Draw 14%

Adjust for Arsenal being at home

13/14 TBD
12/13 Draw
11/12 Manchester United
10/11 Arsenal
09/10 Manchester United

You still get 50% vs 25% & 25% for United.

They just have a thing over us the same way the Drogba version of Chelsea did. This is arguably even more of a thing but it goes unnoticed for some reason.

The last time we won in Old Trafford was a 1-0 in 2006 when Adebayor scored. Yes; full on 8 years ago this September.

Leaving the stats aside; we've been on the end of some absolute shoeings from United; that infamous 8-2 and the away game last season should have been a similar scoreline.

The stats are all against Arsenal tonight. The smart money would be on United notwithstanding Moyes ineptitude. Certain players just seem to be able to raise their games when they see an Arsenal shirt; Park was always one, Fletcher another, Rooney always. I've no doubt RVP will be fired up. Evra too. There's something intangible there that I can't put my finger on other than something about Arsenal fires these players to up their performance levels.

You're welcome all the United supporters I've made feel better/more confident about tonight; and to our lads... sorry!

1 Arsenal win in last 13 games against United apparently.

I think United fans in general are far too depressed to have this make them more confident.

Yes Arsenal had a very good record against Liverpool until pretty recently.

Stats are all well and good but you missed out the most important point, Sir Alex Ferguson or may be David Moyes.

Lord TSC

Not to gone on stats favouring United when you look at how many "records" are being broken this year...

If I wasn't a United fan, I'd be remortgaging the house to back Arsenal at 5/6.

Just can't see us winning tonight unless we see a massive upsurge in form.

Wolf Club

I'm really nervous about this game. Even though Arsenal's team is far superior to United's this season, i can easily see one of the following happening

1) Rooney scoring a screamer early on and United playing as deep as possible to grind out a 1-0 win
2) Arsenal gifting van Persie a goal early on and United playing as deep as possible to grind out a 1-0 win

fergiesfolly

Can't remember a match thread where both fans were so pessimistic.
So, I'm going for 1-1 to Liverpool.

Worst thing that could have happened Arsenal for this game was the Fulham against Utd the other night.

Better again. Hadn't checked the odds since Sunday and must've remembered the wrong game odds!

That's the best 13/10 shot I've seen in a while.

I'm sure Fulham were saying 'the worst thing that could've happened us was that Stoke game last week'.

Presume this is on TV?

BT Sports.

Nerves starting to kick in now.

I just hope the players live up to their tweets and media interviews.

COYG!!!!

I have lost so much money on my Paddy Power account this season because I keep betting with my heart and not my head.
4th time in a row to place Mata for 1st goalscorer

How's the wind in London? Might ruin are expansive crossing game.

intellectual dosser

I've no great record in calling exact results, but I think this has 0-0 written all over it.
Two teams not in form who will be nervy all the way through, both happy not to be beaten by the other.

For what it's worth I'm a United fan.

gugsy

I reackon Arsenel will win well tonight 3-1. After there hammering from my beloved liverpool at the weekend they'll come out guns blazing. Man u for me are too weak atm.

weldoninhio

I really hope Michael Owen is not commentating on this game, but I fear my hope is in vain. I literally can't watch a game with him talking nonsense, i had to turn off the merseyside derby after 5 mins and missed a great game, and I can't watch a game on mute. I wish BT offered an option of just crowd noise.

v3ttel

1-2 to United. It's that sort of season.

Would like to see this lineup: De Gea, Rafael, Jones, Vidic, Evra , Fellaini, Carrick, Mata, Rooney, Januzaj, RVP.

Barr

Arsenal win for me 3-1

RayCon

Honestly haven't a clue how this will go ... anything is possible.

BigBabyTaylor

Can't see past an arsenal win unfortunately. I'll go for 3-1 arsenal.
Regardless of Arsenals result at the weekend they can be nowhere near as low on confidence/ momentum as united are at the minute.

I will be interested to see how much the team will/wont change. Its likely Fletcher probably wont feature again so soon and with Fellani in the squad he could possibly be a surprise start (as happened with RVP a couple weeks ago).

hoping for a utd win but just dont see it happening,draw is good too

In my opinion a draw is no good to either.
Both have to prove themselves after recent disasters.
Feck the one point option I want a win and nothing less.

I am pie

Arsenal might be more wounded by recent results and come out attacking aggressively. Will be interesting to see how Ozil plays? Will he have a point to prove and can Arsenal find runners for him to play in or use as decoys. Defensively with big mert in there Arsenal look well set up to cope with united's late 80s style "whip it in" game.

Moyes might surprise us all though and keep it on the deck in the final 3rd and try and play through the middle. I definitely think we'll see Utd pressing hard, Liverpool showed you can knock Arsenal off the ball and take away their passing options if you close them down quickly enough. Force Ozil back deeper to pick up the ball and have your fullbacks close down any width on offer.

I'm saying 2-1 Arsenal.

Just think of him as an annoying member of the crowd who you happen to be sitting next to.

Can't see that score but it would not surprise me to see Arsenal huffing and puffing only for United to sneak a winner.

hots

Bore draw I reckon, off form teams and crap conditions

Need a win big time but which arsenal will show up?

Chagan

I expect it'll be the usual. United having the best of the possession for the first half hour but creating nothing clear cut allowing Arsenal to take the lead before half time. Second half will see us do the same again and manage an equaliser before the Arse pull away near the end.

3-1 Arsenal
