If people are still challenging the findings that Suarez made racist remarks, maybe they could wear a tee-shirt supporting him?

As I recall, Liverpool decided that was better than appealing the decision...

Pretty poor looking back now but at the time Luis was adamant he done nothing wrong, So the club believed him,

Sure United have stuck by Maguire currently until his case is heard again, Thats could look stupid a few years down the line to but its right in the moment

Great game on here

Podence looks lile he could be a proper good player

Shame about Jimenez though. Looked a bad one

Yep, no word only he's on the way to hospital.

Should Luiz have gone off? Football is a disgrace when it comes to head injuries.

Southampton Football Club 1-0 Manchester United Football Club.

Goal scored by Jan Kacper Bednarek.

For anyone interested he was born on the 12th of April 1996 which makes him 24.

He plays as a centre back.

Arsenal go level with Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the Golden Boot race.

It has happened before when a player outscored a team over the course of a PL season

02-03: van Nistelrooy, Henry, Beattie > Sunderland
05-06: Henry > Sunderland
07-08: Ronaldo, Torres, Adebayor > Derby
13-14: Suarez > Norwich
16-17: Kane > Sunderland & Boro
17-18: Salah > WBA, Hudds, Swansea
17-18: Kane > Huddersfield, Swansea

Is there not as much contact by Gabrial there as there was with Robertson yesterday?

Edit: just saw another angle and he does catch the top of the boot. It's just the inconsistency with these. It was a pen yesterday so same should be called today.

Officiating is farcical now. More inconsistency than there ever was before VAR. And to book him on top of it. Ridiculous.

Wolves gone to pieces at the back.

Wolves ground that out. 5 defeats already for Arsenal - very poor start.

Wolves win.

Arsenal 4 points from the last 18. They still don't look at all convincing under Arteta. He'll be gone by the start of next season imo.

TitianGerm

Arsenal are awful. Used to really like watching them play but they do everything at a snail's pace now and are clueless when they get to the final third.

Averaging 3.2 shots on target a game so far this season in the league and conceded a goal a game. Not going to win to many games unless you get shots on target.

Arteta deserves a lot more criticism than he's getting. Ole was getting hammered and he's doing far better.

Pray for Jimenez

Let's hope he is ok

What happened Jimenez?
Leg break or ?

Commentators on sky said he was awake and responsive in hospital so hopefully nothing serious.

That's good to hear. The head scan is crucial also. Fingers crossed

Arteta won Fa Cup & Charity Sheild, Ole came 4th

They where level on points going into the weekend,

Ole took over a far better team has had longer and has spent far more so im not sure id say hes doing far better hes just further along the road

Arteta side is struggling lately but he needs time Arsenal is rebuild feom scratch

yourdeadwright

I do feel in Arteta's quest to make Arsenal harder to beat he has made them almost to structured and to rigid,
Hes almost beaten any creativity and good movement out of them, I think he needs another summer to add attacking players, but in todays world he probably wont get it

Whatsisname

That head clash was ****ing brutal. Even worse with the sound. Says a lot Sky never showed another replay. Hopefully he’s doing okay.

They've got quite a lot of attacking talent on the books though, between Aubamayang, Willian, Pepe (for better or worse!), Lacazette as the senior lads, and then Martinelli, Saka, Nketiah, and Balogun as younger but massively rated players. There's enough there to be doing a lot better up front without needing to bring in a bunch more players.

I think hes looking for a link between the front and midfeild,
Partey been missing lately to,
I think he should get time but he probably wont

I didnt see the game but i heard a Wolves player got booled for diving in a similar incident to the Welbck /Robertson one, Gabriel supposedly made contact but Var did not over rule the ref?

Did anyone see it

It'd be a disgrace if he got a ban for this. Such a non story. The term doesn't literally translate to English, what he is saying is a positive.

If he has used a racist term, it's head in hands stuff. You kinda wonder, when will players learn that Kick It Out and taking a knee before games are not just gestures and virtue signalling, the former is at least also about understanding the significance of words.
