Both of these teams are overrated garbage as I thought. Last season really gave people short memories as to the quality of our best players in contrast to what Arsenal and Spurs have got. From front to back. Most of the pre-season predictions i saw had Spurs and Arsenal finishing above us like. 

I detest both teams but on paper they both have sets of really good players with alot more depth than we do.

But if this orth London team had turned up to play our now side we would have wiped the floor with them.

Still 1-1 with couple minutes to go so fingers crossed!!!

Just convert Palace to now lol

Perfect result. Now if United lost would make the perfect weekend.

There's a difference between depth and quality. United have a lot of depth but not a single world class player besides their keeper (and maybe Pogba when he gets it together)

Spurs have no world class players. Maybe Lloris and Kane are top players but WC might be stretching it. Eriksen? You're having a laugh.

Arsenal have a lot of paper "world class" players who aren't really. Cech and Sanchez are their only top players in my opinion. 

Courtois, Azpilicueta, Kante, Matic, Hazard, Costa have been central figures in championship winning sides. Those are world class, reliable players (excluding obviously what happened last season). Some might argue againt Matic being world class but he was arguably the best DM in the world before Mourinho ran him to the ground. 

I just don't see this so called quality in either north london team tbh. Now you look at City with the likes of Aguero, Silva, KDB, Gundogan. Tried and tested top players. You stand up and take notice.

Nah United win because Mourinho is not there to interfere with anything.

Hopefully Watford can get something from their game

Dear god what starting XI Jose has chosen. That has to be the slowest team ever.

 

Soo happy we got rid of him.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Honestly might be a mental health thing with Jose, needs to go to a psychologist and get it sorted IMO.

 

Not worried about United atm, all about Liverpool right now. Come on you Hornets!

Turning out to be a fantastic weekend for us. After all their gloating after beating us 3-0 we are now above them. Clowns 😂

Arsenal fail to capitalize in the London mini derby.
Pool 0-0 after two minutes.

Any odds available on Jose having Christmas with United ?

Honestly, can't wait to play the bastards at the Bridge already. The luckiest time in the season to play us when we were still at our weakest. Also, can't wait to face Spurs as well. I'm sure they'll come here and try and mirror our set-up.

Liverpool are in the form of their lives. Coutinho, now there's a class player. I'll take him over any player in both of the North London teams.
