3-0 United in the 42nd.

United looks unstoppable and Arsenal is just flat out bad.....so many mistakes.

I didn't see United's first goal but RVP had a PK stopped that would have tied it, then the onslaught began. A few min later Ashley Young, who is straight ballin out, hit a beauty in the upper 90 from outside the box. 2 min ago Wayne, who I'm pretty sure got hair plugs in the offseason lol, slotted a free kick from just outside the box.

First goal was cleared, then a chip back into the box bounced and Danny Welbeck out-muscled Arsenal for a header about 4 yards from goal.

Arsenal did finally get one back, but this game is over. 3-1 at half.

jesus. 8-2. Spurs looked bad, City looked unreal. I'm assuming it's the same story for Man U/Arsenal. So glad I have FSC

Haha, I guess me thinking Arsenal finishing 6th mightve been too high. To their credit, they have had a tough opening stretch of games. But its the way they have played that has been so bad. Just looked dead versus Liverpool, and COMPLETELY outclassed versus ManU. They looked horrible. They lost a lot, but they still have top 6 EPL talent, imo....but right now they dont. Not with the way they are playing.


Also, I love ESPN Gamecast and the language they use. This was after the final whistle. "Arsenal's misery is over, Wenger shakes Fergie's hand and Rooney wanders off with the match ball. Quite simply, a rout, an embarrassment, a roasting, a hammering, a devastating day for Arsenal. What a game."

Had work so I couldn't catch the game. Glad to see ManU beat the bricks off Arsenal.

I didn't see this was posted, but this is pretty big news.

Man Utd/Chelsea will be shown on Super Bowl Sunday live on FOX in the morning. Along with that, three more EPL games will be shown tape-delayed on FOX throughout the NFL season during weeks CBS has the doubleheader and FOX has time to burn.

Not sure how Wenger can survive that one...a complete embarrassment for Gunners and fans. EPL on the first international break...if Wenger is still at Arsenal after the break I will be a bit surprised.

As an Arsenal fan...I expected a down year...but the defensive line that was trotted out there on Sunday was a travesty. The manager certainly is not solely to blame for the personnel...but he will be the one to take the fall.

I highly doubt they will sack him mid season, but you never know.

Awesome. Much better than anything else they could show really.
