Not for someone with young children though.
I'm afraid i'm stymied.

Staying out of the match thread because it is already trawling the depths. No idea how to call tonight. Statistically we have to be in line for a win there. If we score early at least it will make for a more interesting game for all watching it because we already know how Van Gaal is going to set them up.

Went into the match thread for a look. Immediately regretted going into the match thread for a look.

The posters there don't seem to understand that a lot of us reckon we're a much better side on paper but somehow always manage to bottle in against United. It's impossible to make that point in there though without someone posting a thanks whoring comment for the rest of them to hop onto.

I don't know why people get annoyed or bite in match threads you can generally see who is up to what with regards wums.

I only use them when I am out to keep an eye on the score, or if something controversial happens in again, I would just completely ignore the posts that are there to stir a reaction.

Looking forward to tonight, games like this are what its all about.

Agreed, our best match threads are the ones where it's mostly Arsenal fans discussing the game so as not to clutter this thread. The arguing and 'banter' isn't the same as it with friends IRL in my experience.

Would fancy United for the win tonight. Even in these post Ferguson days they seem to have the edge over Arsenal.

Arsenal could perform tonight but history wouldn't suggest it. United have taken seven points from nine in the meetings since they've been reborn as a shadow of their former selves. It hurts because the last eighteen months have been a golden, maybe once in a generation, opportunity to deliver a humbling defeat. All the other rivals have got at least one solid win out of them in this time. I respect United as a club, but I do hate them. It's a bitter pill to see Arsenal fail against them.

United always seem to raise their game, some muscle memories of the previous boss won't let them be beaten by this flaky shower. Rooney has a tendency to play like a man possessed against Arsenal. Arsenal always under perform. United have been crap this year but they were arguably in worse form last year at the time they beat Arsenal fair and square at Old Trafford.

I'm hoping for a decent result but not expecting it. A bad defeat could have a psychological hangover, a positive result could be a good primer for the rest of the season.

Disgraceful team choice. No balance in the middle and we look short for set pieces against this wannabe Stoke outfit. hopefully im wrong but very bad feeling about this.

No Ramsey or Giroud means wenger is up to something.

In the immortal words of pepper brooks:

"It's a bold move cotton, lets see if it pays off"

Good to see Monreal back from injury.

The only thing I can think of in terms of Ramsey being left out is he isn't fit enough to start.
