Booo!hey ho need to get it done Monday

[Daniel1980 1,425]

Actually, it's a good thing they won. Now they hopefully won't panic-buy anyone else. All in all, they looked far from unbeatable so far. And the goal aside, Ramsey didn't play all that well, tbh. Sanchez is clearly struggling to adapt.

you guys do know that every time Aaron Ramsey Scores A Goal the illuminati have to kill another rich famous celebrity in the next 24 hours another rich famous celebrity will be dead.

​Aaron Ramsey Scored in The FA Community Shield 2014 - vs Manchester City - Later The Next Day - Robin Williams Died.

They looked quite poor imo, if they don't buy a DM and a CB I won't consider them challengers for the title.

Ramsay is a good player.

Why does watching him make me angry at Oscar?

When you look at Ramsey, you see a player that gives confidence.

When you look at Oscar, I don't feel it.

He is too much of nice guy and needs to be a bit more of a cunt.....

half the thread saying Ramsey and Arsenal didn't look good, the other half complaining that Oscar isn't as good as Ramsey

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Dont expect Man U to loose in a row but after the hype up and the constent articles about them to loose at home as well...lol

[Special Juan 28,124]

Arsenal stole it, we would be happy if it was us.

They didn't play well, but that's football.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

The pitch invader in the West Ham spurs game lol..least did more then just randomly run around

Arsenal weren't lucky. Scoring in the 92nd minute is no luckier than scoring in the 17th. The outplayed Palace. 76% possession. 14 shots to 4. Chamakh should have conceded a penalty that wasn't called, etc...They weren't lucky to win, they deserved it. I always find it funny how much people overreact to one game, especially early in the season. United won 4-1 away to open last season. Arsenal lost 3-1 at home to Villa. The year before that, the eventual champions United lost their opening game. You can't drawn any conclusions about anything from one game whether it be how a team plays or how a player plays. I know it's pointless to say this because no matter, after Monday's game it will be Costa can't score (if he doesn't) or Costa was a steal (if he does). And it won't be Costa. It will be everyone and everything. If we play well, we are going to win the Premier League. If we don't, we screwed up and have no shot. I just wish more people on here had a little more long-term perspective and fewer knee-jerk reactions.

i disagree about the luck part, when someone scores in injury time to win a game they've always been lucky

no matter how great they've played

[Hutcho 8,443]

Erm... Boom.

That's just not true. Something like 5-10% of all goals are scored in stoppage time. You can't ascribe to luck to what is actually extremely commonplace. In fact, the end of games is actually statistically the most likely time to score. According to this logic, you can outshoot a team 150-0 with 99.9% of possession but if you don't score until added time, you are lucky to win.

If a team outplays another team and they win, it isn't luck. Even if you believe that scoring in injury time was lucky (which it isn't), it then means that not scoring during regular time was even more unlucky. Arsenal were the better team and they won. Where is the luck? Lucky is when a team is outplayed and scores a fluke goal or gets a bunch of big breaks (from referee, injuries, and so on.)

The difference between Arsenal and Ramsey and Chelsea and Oscar is that Ramsey gets support when he plays badly (which he did a few seasons ago) unlike here when people can't wait to get on Oscar's back after a run of average or poor games.

Hahahaha I still can't stop laughing at United

They have even worse squad then last season and yet some United fans even thought about going for the title this season They celebrate LvG like he's the Chuck Norris of football xD

And I absolutely hate formation 3-5-2 and absolutely I'm in love to see United implement it. Can't wait to play them and exploit those wings! Young as a left wing back? xD

Their squad is just awful, simple as that. The worst United squad I can remember. Evans? Smalling? Hernandez? Carrick? Welbeck? Powel? Fletcher? Cleverley? Anderson? I wouldn't take a single one of them. They need 2 great centre backs, 2 great midfielders and a quality right wing back (unless Valencia can have a good season and stay fit). With players who are available and the inflated transfer market, I doubt they have enough money to plug all the holes they need. I'm sick and tired of Manchesters winning title and it's lovely to see one of them collapsing.

And that cunt Fellaini? Should've got his sorry ass sent of for all the elbows, tackles and knees.
