Boy, one minute in and Nottingham Forest passes direct to the Villa player in front of the goal, the guy was so surprised that he blew the tap in. Now, off to the gym!

Bournemouth gave the Gunners a fight. Nothing easy this season for Arsenal.

I'm used to seeing boneheaded goalkeeping with Onana the last few years at United, but it's now an epidemic it seems. Is it me or do you see some awful GK play this year across the board for the most part in this league.

'Ruben Amorim exit latest example of Man Utd chaos under Sir Jim Ratcliffe'

Ruben Amorim's acrimonious exit is the latest example of Manchester United's chaos and instability under Sir Jim Ratcliffe, says Phil McNulty.

People want to keep blaming the coaches, but the organization is broken right now...it's not the coaches. Yes Amorin was stubborn with his tactics/formation, but United's issues are in the front office. Every HC that has come there as echoed it and the fans know it as well. Firing a coach a year isn't fixing it.

an accurate call when watched in slo-mo, but a tough call for the GK. In real time, it's likely no call by 99.99% of the refs. If the GK hit the ball, his banging into the attacker would be fine. But because he never touched the ball, and also took out (accidentally, it appears) the attacker, a PK is the correct call.

Same thing happened at Arsenal until they allowed Arteta to clean house and bring in his team. Still need a goal scorer and ability to break the low block.

The problem is United front office thinks they know more than any coach/manager on the planet and will not work with them. Yet somehow they keep their jobs and this was them basically telling Amorin he has to earn new players when it's clear as day we need some help in the midfield. Yes AFCON and injuries have hurt United the last month, but outside of Mainoo's injury they had old legs Casemiro and Ugarte in the midfield.....backed up by 18 year old academy kids the last few matches.

Bring in a coach, make promises that are lies about giving them what they need, don't back them when that time comes, fire them....rinse and repeat. Amorin's signings this year have all at least shown glimpses of being able to play....frustrating as hell as a fan. I think Sesko in time will be fine as he's been a bit unlucky with an injury and then the woodwork, but they still have nothing behind him other than Zirksee who is a 10 and not a true #9. Ronaldo, Ralph Raganik, Jose, and now Amroin have all stated it's broke up top. Hell Ole was pleading with them to sign Haaland when he was 16 and he had a relationship with Ole.....these morons are an albatross.

Word is that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be Manchester United’s interim manager. I just heard this on USA Network. For f*ck‘s sake.

It’s the lack of a clear leader, Arsenal have been basically given to Josh to manage, the old man not around much. Too many ppl in charge at United.

Another Man City draw at home; they have dropped six points in their last three matches.
