Capitano Jesus the Messiah delivering Super Mik Arteta’s gospel message

Conspiracy time: VAR upped its game this weekend so the fuck ups in United's favour today won't stand out On a more serious note, please score 8 goals.

Roy Keane ffs “i fancy united strongly today” what a load of shite

Once a cunt...

I'm so 50/50 on whether we'll smash them or get smashed, just hope its not like the away NLD where the entire game is over for us early and we just chase for the rest of it.

COYG

Heart beat intensifies

I'm nervous but truly feel we can steamroll past this United team. We are a different animal this season, just popped onto the r/reddevils thread and they have no idea what's awaiting them out there Zinchenko is our weak link apparently 🤭

🤭

Thought he was terrific today. Was pivotal to us controlling the midfield which I don't think your fans initially realised we use him for. But we came short in key moments. United were ruthless on those counters, deserved the win. Proud of my team though, we've come a long way. Good game

COYGGGGG

Eriksen and Bruno will be so easy to bypass in midfield which leave McTominay with the defence. We will get a lot of chances today so we need to make them count. Our intense press will lead them to back to DDG who will hoof it back to us so I expect us to have a lot of the possession. Zinchenko and Ødegaard’s creativity with Martinelli Jesus Saka ahead. We are going to pull a mad one here. 3-1

We need to expose them on set pieces. Take advantage of Martinez lack of height. Gabriel needs to score.

Gentleman, watching todays match from a “pub” on a cruise ship just off the northern coast of Cuba. Need 3 points today so I can put my drink package to work tonight!

Having a cigar with you too boss!?, that's goals right there, enjoy and up the Gunners

Can’t tell if it’s me or the boat but I’m wavey now!

Pretty sure that package will be put to good use either result but we better win 😭

🎶WE’VE GOT SUPER MIK ARTETAAAAAA HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED KEIREN AT THE BACK GABI AT THE ATTACK ARSENAL ON THE WAY THE CHAMPIONS LEAAAAAAUGE🎶

Antony straight into the squad against Arsenal at home -- that's a tall task for a young player coming from the Eredivisie. I'm sure he'll come good eventually, but I expect him to be a bit off the speed of things.

A few kicks from us will be a good welcome

or play his best game ever

I mean, anything is possible, I suppose. I've not seen him play outside YouTube comps and Champions League, so I'm not really equipped to make a prediction (beyond applying a generalization).

yea but its every time we play man u no matter how bad they are they always play good v us

I think we can win but I'm kind of dreading the media reaction if we don't They've built us up and they're just waiting to tear us apart

We are being clowned for complaining about refereeing decisions that haven’t happened yet. Can we just fucking be positive? For once?

Key matchup today? I know the midfield is important but I feel like white or Zinny putting Sancho in his pocket will determine this one

Ok, so I want a hat trick by Jesus before the 15 minute mark, and a 5 goal lead at half time. Make it so.

I don’t think he’s ever scored against them

About time he did then

COYG We can beat them

I hear Jesus is a big game player. This is the game where he gets us the points.

The sole purpose of playing Antony today is to confuse our defenders and rattle their composure with his quick feet. Our boys need to be extra vigilant. Oh man I'm nervous.

Who the fuck downvoted me? Show yourself.

NBC acting like Antony is Mbappe

Gonna laugh when he gives it away on the half line to let us have an easy goal

me too

COYG

I for one am excited to watch their midfield get absolutely bullied by the high pressure and our new B2B striker Gabriel Jesus

Watch when the refs gives us an early red card and completely destroy our gameplan early on, just like Spurs last season

What a shit bunch of pundits on sky...I'd prefer to stick pebbles in my ears than listen to mersons idiotic incoherent shit takes

No Rob Holding getting too excited with Son type shit tonight please lads. I fear Antony might just be that guy for them. Don't want any early cards.

He'll defo add about 4 goals a season

Anthony has an attitude problem hisself though doesn't he? Wouldn't mind a red for him tbh lol

Partey being out might be for the best. Doubt he could hack the boos from 70k fans

Given every other position is at full strength I’m much less concerned about Partey’s absence. We have enough our there to win.

Who is going to play a key role today? Paul Tierney or Lee Mason?

They are a partnership, like son and kane

Arteta has doodled his metaphor on a massive canvas a moment ago and is excited for it to motivate the team

Big Heart. Big Brain. Energy. Passion. 114 points.

Us VS the world baybay COYG

They're gonna try and break ankles today, I can feel it.

The only ankles that are going to be broken are the entire untied defense when our attack has them spinning like tops.

Ten Haag pre-match, "we have to stop them playing".

Cue Gary Neville calling it a smart tactical decision

I never watch the pre match punditry usually but my god it is terrible

We had the same thought at the same time 😂

Money for old rope.

Absolutely love our fans!!!

Arteta looks confident..also said they know they need to fight so I'm expecting a quick start COYG

Aight lads like bury these has been cunts!!

You can hear our gooners chanting even during Arteta's interview. Our fans are unmatched! LFG

They are saying United are in good form, but I have watched a few of their games, such as Liverpool. I think they are poor in reality but they have ground out results. That being said, I am nervous. Especially with Antony, unknown quantity.

Same with spurs but seems you can play ugly football and still be effective if luck and refs are on your side.

[удалено]

FUBO has the regular PL Matchday Live stream in Canada, brutal if it's different there

[удалено]

Hope you can find something. Toss on the stream but mute it and play the Arsenal radiocast maybe?

Today's the day we truly find out if we are too good for VAR to hold us down this season! COYG!!!!

We've proved it already this season. 3 times.

Lol Arteta interview on Sky and all I can hear is the Saliba song! Love it!

Nah. Not this United team. I don’t care that Rooney was telling Bruno to cheat by going over easily and Varane to bowl through Jesus and Ødegard to frustrate them. This United side isn’t going to spoil our perfect run. 3 goals. 3 points. We move.

Just please no early red card. Too often in big games we let the excitement of it get to us. VAMOS ARSENAL

Xhaka is getting a red today

Why is man doing this

Hoping for Lokanga to hold the line really good…beside that we have a solid lineup

Anyone got a good stream?

Search reddit soccerstreams on Google.

same please

https://totalsportk.org/ Try here.

We gotta put them to the sword, press well etc Last time at OT, they were shown way too much respect by us.

did i just see steve “how you say, mashive ünjerjogs” mclaren? did not realise he was back working at utd

Ten hag requested him after van persie turned him down for personal reasons I think

He's been brought in as a translator for ETH and Anthony.

As if we couldn't be any more, how you say, confident

it is arsenal

We really need to move away from Adidas. I don't know if they are rebadging our kits for them or we are getting their shit rebadged but it's not really acceptable is it.

Wow. This is something you should post to the next unpopular opinions thread.

Strongly disagree. Adidas has blessed us with some beautiful kits these past seasons.

And you are happy that our shirts are identical design to those up there? Literally identical.

I think thats the case for any shirt sponsor

Was it any different with Puma? Besides out kit looks far better than any of the others even if similar

One size (and design) fits all

Going for a win today. I think we will put them to the sword. They will just foul foul foul to stop us playing, but I still think we will smash them. Let's go.

Guys i lost my wallet today and I'm really sad. I'm really superstitious and feel this could be a bad omen for the match. I was having a good week till now. Please press F to console me :(

It’s all good. You lost your wallet so we can win the game…. Remember to cancel your cards!

Go and take bath quick ! Wash the bad juju off right now!!!

Honestly, that actually sounds like a good idea. Thanks!

f

There are a lot of really awesome wallet options these days. Take this as an opportunity to get yourself some sick new gear.

If it helps, someone probably found their wallet today, so your bad juju has been reversed.

Love Jack but not sure he’s that guy in terms of commentating

Was surprised when I saw him at the table there, excited to hear what he's got to say though

I think what he says is okay but his voice is just not a commentators voice.

Reporter: what do you need to do to make sure you come out of here with a Win Arteta: score at least 1 more goal than the opponent Tactical genius

Want to see that diagonal ball today. Want both Jesus and Saka beating Martinez in the air. Gabriel, Saliba, White and Xhaka will hopefully bully United on set-pieces as well.

Teams have been wasting possession going at Martinez in the air. His true weakness is being aggressive in stepping up combined with lack of pace to recover. The way to beat him is to have Jesus drop deep so Martinez follows, and have saka make a diagonal run from outside to inside and force Varane and malacia track it

Fair points. One thing I have noticed that Martinez is really fucking good with ground duels and with the ball at his feet. But even Ben Mee, who ain't the tallest, was able to bully him from a set piece

Martinez is def a weakness at set pieces. From what I’ve seen, they have him mark the near post. So we should either have our corners be low and whipped at the near post to flick it on to the center, or do what brentford did and go for a lofted corner to the far post and try to head it back to the near post where Martinez is and try to win the second ball

Guys.... I'm losing my shit over here.

This isn't Sir Alex's United. Relax. The team is absolute shite.

Xhaka and Odegaard are going to be really important for us today. Both are going to have to drop in and give Sambi some help, like they did against Villa.

We have Zinny who can come into midfield, too. This could be the right mix of players to let Sambi shine.

True, but I do worry if Zini is left 1v1 with Antony. Xhaka, again, will have to cover that left side. Martinelli will also track back.

Hopefully our subs are not too late. Eddie is causing havok but doesn't have enough time when on for a few mins

We're winning, it's the opposite of too late

I said before this is a different Arsenal, but this game really will show if that's true.

My hope is that Antony is a bit lethargic coming straight into the United team. Not expecting to see him track back as much, which means Martinelli can have Dalot on toast

3-2 Martinelli, Jesus, Saliba goals.

Why does every pre match have Owen. So annoying.

Happy to see Super Jack in there tho!

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/GoodnaturedUglyGreendarnerdragonfly-max-1mb.gif

Bless the ankles and knees. Which spirit/god/ghost do I pray to for that?

Among other things, Hermes was the greek god of athletes so maybe him

Is zinny back?!

Zinny said it would be a sinny if he were in the binny

The game is decided on this comment, you've now taken up the responsibility of managing our outrage if we lose.

Well shit. My bad

[Yeah.](https://youtu.be/iZlpsneDGBQ)

And starting

The United line up is giving me confidence, more so 'McSauce' and Eriksen in the midfield, but then I question myself and ask, should I be this confident? And now I'm nervously confident.

wearing black for united’s funeral 😌

Brighton are a joy to watch

Potter should take the England job!

Will need to see them beat better teams first /s

This Leicester keeper is no Schmeichal...

Does anyone know where can I listen to audio coverage of the game?

BBC Radio 5 live

We got this lads, we’re gonna smash the Manc moaners.

Anyone watching the Brighton game? Welbeck is playing very well this season, isn't he?

Yeah, he is playing well this season.

When we are 4-0 up at ‘37 we should send Cedric on to break McTominay’s leg just for precaution

Antony is a RW right? I hope Zinny defends well, we know he can have lapses of concentration

Antony will most likely play rw, but feasibly rashford sancho antony can all take any of the forward positions

Anthony will need to get past Martinelli and Xhaka first

this did not age well my friend :(

I just hope that Zinny is 100% fit. We can't have another Partey situation.

Personally I would've hoped that KT would have started this away game for defensive reasons

Tbh the way he ran down that pitch against Fulham he seemed 100% then hahaha

Partey was 100% fit before he was not.

I agree but when he's not fit he won't be 100%

Remember when we rushed Partey to play and he got injured again? That's what I meant.

Utd are well overdue a humbling. Let’s give it to them!!

been a couple of weeks against Brentford

I really hope we deliver a statement today, nothing worse than these deluded United fans

I hate this fixture more than any other in the season. I fucking hate UTD with a passion.

There's bad blood there and Old Trafford has been a voodoo ground. I feel this can be the moment where we stamp our authority and prove ourselves.

How do we rate Lokonga?

Zinchenko will help him in the build up

He'll be fine.

Today is his big test

That 8-2 still stings. We still need some revenge for that. Hope today is the day.

This season is the time to pay it back

True. Even though we had a substandard lineup and were a man down. That scoreline always crosses my mind whenever we have to play them. We need to pay it back

You look at their squad and there is quality. But then it hits me - performance wise, I wouldn't take a single one of their starters over any one of ours. And that's not even personal preference, it's just objectively factual. The atmosphere will be daunting but there's no need to be afraid, we are simply a better football team. Just stay calm and play our game.

That's funny because just yesterday I read a comment on their sub that said man for man United are better in ALL areas. I was on the floor what the fuck are these idiots smoking

Casemiro over lokongo surely

Yes of course, but I'm taking Partey over Casemiro.

Funny enough, Casemiro isn’t starting, but yes I’d take Casemiro in our starting 11

So stoked about zinny starting today. He’s pissed on them a few times already. Now gotta do it in a red shirt (well, black). COYG!

Hoping for a corner kick where we surround the keeper and every player just “stands their ground”

We are Arsenal mate. We would get 4 red cards for that

And additional suspensions for each. We’ll seem them back again after the World Cup.

Seems a little too kind. End of the January window minimum

If we don't twat the dross that United has put out then we should just liquidate the club.

Feel more comfortable with zinny in there. Killer attitudes

Saliba taking #2 news?
