A pat on the head for Man Utd
Manchester Joined have sunk to the level of a understandably slow-moving-moving youngster being praised on gleaning their tag suitably. Let’s investigate how “guidance” Man Utd are once they’re recovering rotated over by Fulham, Brighton, Brentford and also so on.
Matthew
…So Man Joined are guidance are they? Didn’t they administer make make usage of of extra points from this component last season? Didn’t they rotate upward in games against Liverpool and also Municipal as well last season?
Let’s investigate how they go away at Fulham next week and also plunged with each other an real run of games before we prelude hailing them. With one voice I saw yesterday was unlike huff and also puff against a crew that seemed nearly intent on impermanent on them the ball and also permitting them to come at them. Millions spent on adversaries that were participating in score the needs that rotated these sorts of games round…and also still bringing Maguire on to conserve something.
Endorse of program.

Three fulcra materials Man Utd thrown away
Manchester Joined thrown away the suit against Arsenal albeit they were probably the better crew on the day. They thrown away largely due to 3 fulcra materials:
Priorities strengthen to remain unabated over Amorim’s unfathomable crew collection. Why was Dalot fielded over Amad? We unanimously saw what Amad did in the short period he dabbled. A related troubler or top priority is why did Amorim arenae a crew with no natural striker, even though the striker or rather scarcity of an effective striker has knocked down Joined for some time. There is no justification for this tactical imperfection, exacerbated by the fact that we were tinkering against Arsenal. Did Arsenal pew Gyokeres? Zero he initiated. Did Liverpool pew Ekitike? Of program not.
The element need to even more be supplied that Joined’s poor coating persevered in the suit. The majority of opportunities were gained and also washed. This now endemic troubler need to be repaired soonest if Joined is to simplify its position on the EPL table.
The third fulcra troubler is poor guarding especially in relationship to ensconced items. This troubler persevered throughout last season and also Amorim has still not repaired it. Amorim has a assimilated accountability to instructor the protectors to readjust ensconced items. There is no other means PERIOD.
Professor (Dr) David Achanfuo Yeboah
In protection of Gyokeres
Surely the worst game he can have had as his first suit was against his former boss that realizes him within out and also specifically how to counter him. Similarities to once Harry Kane stepped upward to take that penalty against Hugo Lloris, why on planet was he going upward against the goalkeeper that realizes him perfect? That instance was boss disadvantageous move (anyone non-Tottenham to take it) but Viktor is qualified to a little slack in this instance.
Jdb
…Wow, 60 minutes of PL football and also a individual is done eh? JFC.
Ok, I yearn to prelude actually with a unlike gripe. Last season, us Arsenal devotees were offender on this landmark, unlike times throughout unlike posts of being titled whiners for possessing reservations around Gyokeres. Any kind of mea culpa from F365 there? Or is possessing any kind of accountability for your element of perceives or regularity undue?
But on to the individual we now have. One game is acceptable to telephone call him a pub gamer?
What is the element other than to irk us? In which is the identifying or reward in those ~700 words? What evidence have you ever authenticated us your element of perceives on football have characteristic?
F365, you maintain plaguing me to compensation for your landmark. If you can evolve on me an selection that gets rid of unanimously Will clearly Ford’s posts from the feed, probably I’ll contemplate it.

Horrendous never ever fingered so nice
I read this morning’s mailbox with nice excites and also fulfillments since I’m a long time Arsenal supporter that spent unlike my youth routing Arsenal subordinates faultlessly fiasco around Man Utd off the park unsociable to lose the game (and also have the quality of those performances thrown away to the result and also history).
David De Gea once had FOURTEEN (14!) saves at The Emirates. Wayne Rooney once scored TWICE from ONE shot on target. Unchanged gamer jumped over Sol Campbell’s leg to win the penalty that completed Arsenal’s Unyielding streak. I can go uninterruptedly around “undeserved” Man Utd triumphes that resulted in contempts around Arsenal’s “softness”.
The other day wasn’t pretty the same sift of smash and also grab, despite MAN UNITED devotees whinging around the ref (never ever believed I’d remain to investigate the day) since Simon Hooper conferred them the majority of of the 50-50 dubs, which in rotate offered away to their “dominance” of the game. I won’t speak for every Gooner, but possessing trailed Saliba, Gabriel & Raya for a couple of years now, I never ever fingered disturbed that Utd would score. I was unsociable stressed that Cunha would eventually flop his means proper into a cheap penalty.
That asserted, Utd devotees need to undeniably really feel advised by Mbuemo and also Cunha (that ‘xDOG’ you love so a digit will clearly price Utd one day), as nicely as the comprehensibility and also exertion on sport. With no Europe, the majority of instructional time, and also the majority of notably, one suit per week, I wouldn’t be troubled if they administer the top 4 this season. I median, it’s a 2 billion pound project. It’s the least they can execute.
As for Arsenal, we’ll take the 3 points… and also the cannoli. COYG

…22 years we went without a result at Old Trafford. Years and also years of being the better crew unsociable to be trumped by Mourinho miseryball or Ferguson and also his umpire coven. 22 years of disadvantageous luck, being briefed we were soft. That we couldn’t grind out expire outcomes. 22 years of Roy Keane aphorism we weren’t sensible, or hard, or nice, that enchanting was the unsociable thing that mattered. That we didn’t pick it upward them. If you briefed me before the suit it would be unrelieved pooch sh*t but we’d win, I’d have bitten your hand off.
So scream me a river. Witnessing Joined devotees huffing their copium, aphorism they were the better side. Been qualified to the win and also so on. These were the mewling whines of Arsenal devotees for decades and also we were rightly mocked for it. There is a element why Chelsea, Liverpool, Municipal, Joined and also Reinforces devotees maintain heaping discomfort on Arteta to win, and also that’s since none of those subordinates have trumped us in pick 800 days. Its been a long time in the league, and also they abhor it. Lovely. I wear’t yearn you to pick us. I yearn you to abhor us. It is a much extra motivating feeling than being pat on the head by adversary companies that tell us ‘we dabbled nicely.’
I expanded upward in the George Graham period, I will clearly lap upward every 1-0 I can. So talk around how nice your contemporary signings are, how Cunha bossed us, how De Ligt bossed us. Talk around how Arsenal were poor. We were, we stank upward the gaff, we were probably at 50% opportunity. As well as you STILL couldn’t overcome us at your own ground. I reckon you must self reflect. As well as I say this as someone that doesn’t reckon we’ll win the league this year either.
John Matrix AFC
…Nicely, that was pretty the answers to a game of football wasn’t it? In unanimously genuineness the mailbox was a digit less mad than I believed it would be, Stewie apart, but he doesn’t matter. Still though, I execute reckon we unanimously last offer a little of perspective. Far as well unlike of us are still stuck in a classic reverie around Man Utd vs Arsenal. Keane and also Vieira retired unlike years ago now everyone, games in between these two sides merely wear’t hold the same interpretation any kind of longer.
However, there was plenty to talk around going in to this suit and also nicely, it didn’t actually deliver. What we got was a game wherein Arsenal seemed cheerful to investigate out a 1 eagerness win with minimal outcry. Yes, minimal outcry!
I realize there has been a particular place of devotees that have reacted pick this was a backs to the wall finish grind as if Arsenal were a champion side scraping a win in the 4th round of the league mug, but that’s not the game I trailed.
Arsenal weren’t colorful, I will clearly give them that, but I actually wear’t investigate wherein this story of Utd being nice stems. Sure, they didn’t handy as uninitiated as the bulk of last season, but other than Cunha’s shot that was nicely preserved, they didn’t actually unhappiness Arsenal. Sure they had unlike possession and also the statistics will clearly tell you they had unlike vaccinations on eagerness, but the significant bulk were awfully definitely taken care of.
With one voice I actually sensed from this game was that the players are allegedly still not pretty upward to pace yet. Some seemed a little slow-moving-moving, a little unsightly and also merely undercooked. That is a little of a top priority, but I am reprehensible to take as well a digit from the first game of the season.
So, unanimously in unanimously, of program it wasn’t a nice game of football, neither crew was at their perfect, but it means marginal in the grandiose system of points.
Andrew (I am not advised Madueke on the abandoned wing will clearly job though)
…Let’s administer one thing translucent F365. It doesn’t complication what you say, how unlike posts you compose, how unlike mails you flee, how unlike Tony Pulis comparisons you administer, we will clearly never ever apologise to you for the means we fiasco around. My generation extra than anyone realizes the digit of posts you wrote (and also the digit of snide testimonies supplied) around soft Arsenal. Wenger’s Arsenal. I maintain in mind awfully merely once Arsenal had a huge troubler agreeing needs from ensconced items. “Be more strong” they asserted.
Rectify me if I’m erroneous but Arteta now has the perfect record against Manchester Joined of any kind of instructor today?
We are not your recreational Steve Chicken. We wear’t owe you that. If you yearn to be thankful you can watch Liverpool’s gung ho football or any kind of of Chelsea’s 427 wingers. There’s plenty of recreational to go round there. Lone Ben white and also Raya probably dabbled nicely for Arsenal yesterday and also they still overcome this Manu crew. Mbuemo 70 million. Zero needs no aids. Cunha 60 million. Zero needs no assist. Sesko 80 million. Zero needs no aids.
But assumption that the flop is? Yes. Gyokeres. Zero pre season, no time to readjust to a contemporary layout of fiasco around, first game away at one of football’s toughest premises.
Shame. 3 points and also onto the next.

…Arteta is on 10m not 15m (seriously wherein execute you even administer make make usage of of this from? If you google it or chatgpt you can administer make make usage of of real truths. It takes 2 secs come on). Can we prelude fact studying mailboxes or rejecting bulls***? I assumption you would lose a weekly Stewie emails and also inevitable follow-upward so your engagement will clearly sag a little but you’ll be performing your portion to fight bogus news planet we remain in. He’s on 2m extra than Slots reported wage so you can have your element merely administer it suitably comrade
Based on info i can uncover, Isak needs 300k (15m) per year and also would have price lets say 130m, Gyokeres is on 200k (10m a year) from what I can garner and also price around 63m. So Isak would price some 200m over 5 years and also Gyokeres 110m. I in addition uncover it entertaining to say hes “accessible” once hes currently on strike not tinkering for any kind of subordinates since hes so “accessible”. Is he 90m a digit less gamer? Perplexing to choose that on one weekend once one of the 2 is sat on his sofa
I uncover it endearing that anyone can watch that game and also come away with any kind of thoughts other than wow Joined are a a digit a digit better crew this season and also won’t coating anywhere foreseeable 15th. Their strike was uncolored and also differed, the players are tinkering with a sense of gap, the reply stays solid. This Joined crew are a faultlessly unlike mammal and also I am highly cheerful with 1-0 at a durable old Trafford. I reckon as the season goes on humans will clearly uncover it more testing and also more testing to administer make make usage of of points vs Joined.
Great 3 points to prelude the season in a no win dilemma of an opening game. Marvelous jubly.

Privileged, privileged Arsenal
Arsenal signed a planet-program goalkeeper at the expire of last season, displacing a firm supporter favorite in the procedure in a tactical but unsafe move.
Manchester Joined were imparted unlike, unlike examples of neither of their selections being nice sufficient last season and also opted not to address the troubler.
Privileged, privileged Arsenal…

Disown Stewie out
My god, the Stewie Lion emails are merely so so lazy now – I was questioning whether to e-mail in, as I wear’t yearn to be portion of the troubler of tempting attention to him (which is undeniably the unsociable thing he needs, probably a cuddle from his parents as well?) but it in addition mirrors severely on F365 to tote on with the clickbait, imparted unanimously the stick they evolve on the other places for performing the exact same thing.
The willful element I (and also I sense others) read F365 is to guard against unanimously the arsehole poisonous element of perceives that you administer make make usage of of on supporter places and also merely reap real, experienced devotees questioning and also joking around Our Arcade.
It was kinda entertaining initially, but please god, the joke is dead now.
On a footballing chit, I’ll merely be lazy and also say that there was actually totally nothing of reward to remove from the Man Utd – Arsenal game. Everyone was corroded, the Artillerymans ground it out and also were tougher and also extra immune on the totality than Utd. We’ll take the 3 points, forget the game ever taken place, move on and also hope to administer make make usage of of better which no unwillingness we will clearly. Memorable to investigate us being able to take White and also Calafiori off and also readjust them with MLS and also Lumber – this is the kind of center in deepness we devotees have been gazing for, for years and also it’s an enchanting time to be an Arsenal supporter.

On goalkeeper obstruction
You wear’t ordinarily flee a digit outward the computed mailbox faves, but here goes totally nothing…
(We have no record of you ever sending a mail before – Ed)
The FA laws of the game say the subsequent:
“Derailing the emergence of an adversary means relocating proper into the adversary’s trail to hinder, block, hinder or affect a readjust of instructions once the ball is not within tinkering distance of either gamer.”
How execute Arsenal’s alcoves not fall afoul of this routinely? They have a gamer guidance proper into the ‘keeper for every side. That gamer is rarely within tinkering distance of the ball, and also they are even a digit less seldomly called for a foul. I realize that other subordinates attempt to digit the ‘keeper from alcoves as nicely, but Arsenal have merely pilfered it to contemporary levels with their ensconced hunk instructor and also digit exhilaration to the front/guidance post in existing seasons. Stats guidance this upward as nicely; they showed a unspoiled graphic throughout yesterday’s suit wherein Arsenal have outscored unanimously other Premier League sides from alcoves by something pick 10 needs since 23/24. Lovely thing as well since they invent dears little from open fiasco around.
Am I a irritated Man. Utd supporter? Yes. Implements this obstruction pattern with Arsenal go past Utd? I’ll make it possible for other readers offer away their favorite examples. Unless the officiating avails smart, it will clearly strengthen.
Red (not clever sufficient for parentheses) Herring
Sesko is the better striker
In the summertime of 2022, Arsenal opted to compensation ~50m for the “computed” Gabriel Jesus, paying him ~265k per week. They opted not to gander for the upward-and also-coming Alexander Isak that then eventually switched to Newcastle for 70m and also ~120k per week.
Rapid onward the summertime of 2025 wherein Gabriel Jesus is habitually persecuted, hardly ratings and also aids, is out of the crew, and also Isak is valued as 150m.
Now in the summertime of 2025, Arsenal were in addition imparted the selection of signing either Gyokeres and also Sesko. Gyokeres price them ~65m rising to 70m, and also is on 200k a week. Sesko eventually price us 76.5m and also is on around 160k a week.
In 3 years time, I will clearly wagered my gran’s abode that Gyokeres will clearly disclaim for totally nothing as his agreement is ceased (pick what will clearly undeniably take place to Jesus in the foreseeable future), and also Sesko will clearly be pined by the sift of Real Madrid for a fashionable 150m.
Insert Stewie Lion rant here.
Olawunde (Arsenal will clearly be out of the title race by Chistmas as Gyokeres sits on the pew routing Kai Havertz hardly score any kind of needs, Joined will clearly coating 4th and also Arsenal out of the Champs League units)
Liverpool v Bournemouth culminations
I was participating in execute a longread but actually have some deadlines this week so fast expectation possessing been in the away side:
- The murals in the roadways around have habitually been spick-and also-span. The Jota one adds to that.
- Now the Anfield Highway expire is completed, there’s smorgasbords of elbowroom in the concourse but everyone still merely blocks the lesser level round the bar. So you still can’t move.
- The tributes before the game and also in the 20th min were awfully willful and also totally done. Taciturnity nicely commentated by away devotees, and also I wear’t have a troubler with rival incantations throughout YNWA. I execute reckon the nonbelievers have a element around piping the songs and also verses in; it doesn’t add a nice bargain and also sufficient devotees sing to probably not last offer it.
- Favored arena announcer at Anfield for the first time for years. Still as well loud!
- Ekitike peeked sharp, the other side of the commentator’s troubler Diakite understandably corroded. Wirtz was mostly a vendor, MacAllister was the the majority of eyecatching in the midfield.
- Aside from one moment of stellar posing, probably the shakiest I’ve commentated VVD. Konate merely not assisting.
- Bournemouth at their perfect once Endo was at complete-guidance, Slot’s second round of variations which taken care of this taken care of the troubler.
- Semenyo – taken care of the dilemma as nicely as anyone can have. Aims a bonus.
- Alex Scott is a real curate’s egg of a gamer. This one of his better performances but last offer it to be extra congruent.
- After recovering guidance to 2-2, scarcity of defensive and also pivot deepness price us. Peeked leggy before the third eagerness, Truffert dramatically isolated. I’d nearly rather pick we’d thrown extra adversaries on and also thrown away trying to win, rather than sitting deep and also chasing darkness.
- This is now the fourth season wherein we have painted Adam Smith as a bar legend. He is, but he cannot strengthen to be the launching complete-guidance for a crew with mid-third PL needs.
- I have thrown away matter of how unlike times I’ve commentated Salah score against Bournemouth. At least 10 I reckon. Anew, he had little affect on the game but performs it actually complication with statistics pick that?
- That’s the first time I’ve commentated the Kop actually loud. I still reckon I’ve tactful better rumpuses at Goodison, Suite Park and also (strangely) The Hawthorns but it was pretty sensational at the expire.

Frank and also simple on Reinforces
Festive Favored Period, to unanimously those that express joy.
My first time gleaning proper into the F365 Mailbox since late last season once I was a semi-unexceptional element reinventing upward in staunch protection of Ange Postecoglou.
While I stand by my Ange love; he’ll habitually be a Reinforces legend in my eyes, I need to say, I’m loving the Thomas Frank puzzle so much.
It’s a little pick personalities in some featureless Netflix movie: The Reinforces devotees are the evoke… and also mommy (Reinforces pecking order) and also Father (Ange) have had unhappiness. Ange was fun and also enchanting. He drove a motorcycle, and also supplied to bring you out for pleasing drives, he was fashionable and also had a unanimously-natural leather jacket. But he was in addition a little undependable. Not habitually there once you yearn him, or at least not there in the means you last offer him. So Ange and also Mommy parted means.
As well as in came Thomas.
As well as yeah, he doesn’t drive a motorcycle or have a unanimously-natural leather jacket (he’s extra of a half zip sweater individual), and also of program he comes throughout as a little of a nerd, but as the movie goes on – the evoke realise he’s sensible, trusty, he’s there to evolve on Reinforces specifically the kind of durabilities they’ve been craving. As well as, as we uncover out, he can be fun as well! We administer make make usage of of the impression that he needs to be here for a long time, not merely a pleasing nice time. He might even be a spick-and also-span match for the family members.
Anyhow, tenuous Netflix family members flick examples apart, I’m nicely on board the Thomas the Frank Engine.
Versus PSG, despite the gut-boxing coating, I had 80-ish of the the majority of winsome Reinforces routing minutes in a long time: They peeked organised, disciplined. They kneaded hard, they dabbled sensible. They even had units for ensconced items! You can investigate Frank’s finger prints unanimously over it. They peeked pick a crew build on solid keystones (despite unsociable a couple of weeks of job!). To follow that upward against Burnley, with a no waste, awfully businesslike, spick-and also-span trim 3-0 win was merely spick-and also-span. The majority of might rightly say “It’s merely Burnley” but the reality is, Reinforces were one of the the majority of copious subordinates in the league last year to evolve on points to marketed sides, with our slipshod, uncommon league kind.
There are a digit sterner tests to come, launching with Municipal next week, but the signs so much substantiate me a pleasing, smart boss, with a solicited in squad, that are ready to administer Tottenham a assimilated crew anew. If Savinho and also Eze join the ranks this week? Now the totality bar is acting pick a assimilated fighter.
Electrifying times onward!

16 Conclusions on Nottingham Woodland v Brentford
1. Even with a couple of adversaries still to add, Woodland peeked spick-and also-span going onward with MGW tugging unanimously the strings
2. I admiration if it points to a extra “front foot” ideology this season, imparted they had extra possession (54%) than in any kind of game they won last season#
3. Always hard to judge how a digit was Group X nice v Group Y disadvantageous, but we (Brentford) were infernal in the first half
4. Maybe it was to be visualized once we were lacking out on 2 out of our 3 unexceptional midfield beginners from last season, and also unanimously 3 of our adversaries (for differing materials)
5. A midfield 3 of Yarmoliuk, Jensen and also Milambo is never ever participating in be nice sufficient in the PL, but especially against a crew as nice as Woodland. We didn’t have a digit selection on the day, but it shouldn’t be a astonish that we had a hard time to maintain the ball against Woodland’s high power press, especially in the first half.
6. It performs administer me qualm how a digit we’ll miss out on Norgaard. We unanimously known how valuable he was to us, but it seems pick we’re not actually matching him (Hendo is not the natural ball-winner that Norgaard is). Maybe Janelt once he retorts from injury can fiasco around that role but either means it’s a weigh down
7. Going onward we lacked any kind of kind of performances till Schade came on. But with any kind of luck Ouatarra will clearly administer a discrepance and also probably Wissa once he’s completed his strop can retort to evolve on us some extra selections upward top.
8. I was troubled how unanimously over the place we were defensively as this was the one venue I believed we would be pretty solid. Maybe merely an early season thing and also it was largely individual fiascoes which spearheaded to the needs (Collins the greatest wrongdoer)
9. The fact we builded markedly second half is a desirable, and also at least points to Keith Andrews rendering a discrepance in the spice place.
10. Although not a nice prelude, I wear’t really feel as well cynical around the season. We need to with any kind of luck be a digit more strong currently next week against Suite, and also languishing to Woodland is no tragedy.
11. I kind of supposed (and also actually hoped!) that Chris Lumber merely had one of those mad seasons last year once every little thing clicked and also he’d go guidance to the median this time around. 2 needs in the first 45 minutes of the season, both high center coatings (passionate “striker” needs) niggle otherwise!
12. The via ball from Anderson for Woodland’s 3rd….wow!
13. Murillo and also Milenkovic need to be upward there with the perfect CB pairings in the PL. Uncensored beasts and also nice footballers to boot.
14. My first tour to the Municipal ground and also it was sensational. The placement by the river, cozy to the town centre and also metro station, nice away nightclubs…makes it a nice away day for trekking devotees.
15. In addition believed (begrudgingly) the Woodland devotees were nice…sank us out however (although a eagerness after 5 minutes tends to affect that stability!).
16. One exception, though, the idiot behind us on the top tier that believed it was ideal to scream out throughout the Jota min taciturnity and also pilfered treatment of to stain it for 30,000 humans.
Rob, Surrey (Bees supporter)
Now we realize what takes venue next…
As well as merely pick that, Arcade Week 1 is done (nicely, nearly) so undeniably we’ve now got unanimously the defenses for what’s participating in take place this season. Here goes;
1) Zero title race after unanimously – Man Municipal are participating in p*ss the league. A 90+ points season beckons, and also the huge Norwegian robotic will clearly probably score 427 needs. Liverpool coating 2nd but at least 10 points adrift.
2) Tijjani Reijnders to win unanimously the gongs – Kevin De that?
3) Potter first gaffer gone – Oh dear, Graham. Oh dear of program. Maybe it was actually Brighton that supplied him handy nice after unanimously?
Mikel Arteta is debunked to be George Graham’s biological Love Son – Altogether now, “One-nil to the……..”
4) Brentford and also Burnley blessed – These pair battle each other for the wooden spoon, with one of West Ham, Leeds or Sunderland to join them guidance in the Champ. Which leads me to……
5) Wolves will clearly be penalty – A four-nil thumping at the hands of the Champs Choose means nowt. They did handy awfully nice in spells. Not a opportunity they go down.
