We started so badly though. Lloris made another mistake, even though it was blatantly a free kick outside the box and not a penalty. We got caught out a few times - Sanchez is incredible for his age and I believe he will be the best centre back in Europe in a couple of seasons but he still lacks experience and it shows sometimes. He also probably saved us from a more embarrassing final score.
Calm down. They (and Tottenham) have a game in hand on you and I wouldn't put it past you to (hopefully) drop the ball so to speak in the league because of the CL semis.
I just hope we can dump them out of the cup at the weekend. If ever there was a team that didn't "deserve" to be where they are based on performances it's them.

Hardly excitable. They've a game in hand (which means nothing if they lose to west brom) and a point. Tottingham are looking good tho.

The VAR disaster keeps rolling on...
Merci Arsène
I thought United without SAF was weird but Arsenal without Wenger is going to take some time to get used to.

He talks about us in the future and as a project, but I think most of us know it all depends on whether Fat Mike gets his wallet out, or a takeover happens.

It sounds like he's waiting to see if the club agrees with how he thinks they should go forward.

He can’t trust anything Ashley says. That’s obvious by now. So he’d be taking a punt on the Staveley bid coming back and that her consortium will be more ambitious (which isn’t a given either). If Arsenal came calling he’d be stupid not to take them up on it.
Having said all that, Arsenal will probably want Allegri, will end up with Ancelotti.
NB. Why would Arse fans want Simeone? He’s successful but he’s a Mourinho not a Guardiola. Do you want to watch that every week?

Eddie Howe would not be a bad bet. Wenger liked him. Fans will likely want a big expensive name. Not sure many would be tempted though given the budget. Not like Arsenal are going to do Man X/Y or Chelski and blow 150 Mill next season.
