(The not-so-temporary quite-official) Gooner Thread (Part 2)

When you hear another manager got sacked so the media has something else to focus on...

Well that was enjoyable. I can't remember a time where United haven't shown up to a game vs Arsenal like they did today. Stoked with that though.

Some ridiculous play from Sanchez and Ozil to name only two - especially Sanchez' two heel flicks, one for the goal and the second in the build up to Ozil's goal a few minutes later. 

Walcott had an amazing game this morning.

Second those Coquelin comments, he is at the heart of every good thing we do.

And Cech's save was so timely, right on half time like that, we woulda had the half time jitters at 3-1 had that gone in, could've changed the direction of the game.

Also loved how the commentators were talking about how much pace we have mentioning Walcott, Sanchez, Bellerin and Coquelin being so quick, and then a graphic comes up on screen showing the fastest in-game sprints so far, and Monreal topped the list... lol

Couldn't watch the game but great to see the result.

I guess we've gone from being doomed to being on the verge of winning the league again?

Pretty much

I still don't think we get near the league title and my views haven't changed but we have to enjoy this win as it's been a long time coming.

Incredible result all up, Bellerin was hugely impressive and Sanchez again shows his class after a slow start to the season. I read a great stat too that we have not conceded a goal in the 7 premier league games Gabriel has been on the pitch, he starts every time he's fit for me.

He does look like an excellent signing. So quick. 

My 15 minute tea break coincided with the replay being shown on Sky from the 4th minute to the 19th minute. Perfect timing. Three brilliant goals

I love the Sanchez-Walcott partnership. Sanchez cutting in from the left makes the whole defence rush up to him, which gives Theo acres of space in behind to run into. Worked to great effect this morning. That 15 minute spell was the best football we've played since 2004 I reckon. Similar to what we used to do with Henry, Pires, Vieira and that left back. They'd destroy teams up the left and we'd be 3-0 up inside 15 minutes.

Ozil was very good as well

Hopefully no more of this "goes missing in big games " tripe.

Yeah that opening 20 minutes was special. We hardly gave them any ball and the build up play for our goals was superb. After that i thought we did a good job of keeping them at arms length and closing the game out with a clean sheet.

Still love this photo from last season. It's like he caused all the destruction himself.

AFC Comics present Super-Sanchez

Yeah that was big. He had a bad day against West Ham coming in after a season on the bench but since then he's been the best keeper in the league IMO. Courtois and De Gea are, maybe, better at making extraordinary saves, but all round it's a no contest in my view.

Per and Kosc are still our best defenders for mine, but damn it's great to have Gabriel in there as well. Slightly better than Squillaci, Senderos etc.

It's only just occurred that United's defence was small, young and blind.

hahah thats the best!

I honestly can't tell what our best CB pairing is. It would definitely involve Koscielny, who is arguably the best in the league, but beyond that I think it's a bit horses for courses. Mertesacker adds stability and organisation but lacks speed, which Gabriel has in spades and which is especially good when we're playing a high line.

that 60 seconds which included ozils and sanchezs first goal was friking unbelievable to watch.  By the time sanchez scored that jaw dropping second 12minutes later the commentators had run out of superlatives.

love  this

Zagreb player test positive

UEFA should reverse the result.

They are hugely important qualifiers for Chile, the first one being against Brazil, I don't think anyone could've stopped him going.

Their coach has said this morning that he's a doubt for their first game. Surprise surprise.

Here's hoping he doesn't play!

Even Wenger said he hopes he doesn't play, but knows he will, and knows that no one can stop him.

Yep, it's hard to stop him playing when Wenger has played him basically every game as well.

Now that is a cracker!!

Sanchez started for Chile.

Half time. Hasn't gone off injured yet.

Fulltime, Chile win 2-0, Sanchez scored the second, played the full 90.

Meanwhile in Argentina....

"Substitution: Carlos Tévez replaces Sergio Agüero because of an injury."

Walcott just put England 1-0 up right on halftime. Lovely run and finish, delicious ball from Barkley.

Silva has gone off injured for Spain as well.

Could it be...

With Jurgen Klopp at the Kop and Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, a trend has developed where clubs are appointing managers with names similar to how the club is perceived. With that in mind Roman Abramovich has lined up Jose's replacement Stefan Kuntz.

Wolfsburg to reappoint Wolfgang Wolf.

Sanchez, Walcott and Cazorla (2) all scoring for their international sides, nice.
