Weekend PL fixtures 2/3 September

PrestonHammer

Man United have turned into Newcastle United hahaha

steve

why are Arsenal playing Newcastle

buffybegood

Finally a correct usage of VAR imo, Arsenal penalty overturned.

buffybegood

Arsenal win it now, Maguire coming on 😂🤣😂

Bazshuayi

Nah, this is where he seals his rightful place in Utds back line, his legend status and his move to West Ham never happens

buffybegood

Saka really shoulda scored there.

buffybegood

A lot closer to being onside than I thought in real time, I thought he was well off tbh.

thornburyiron

Rice scores the winner.

MrsGrey

Ugh.

Slacker

“ Don’t you DARE kiss that badge Declan”.

steve

I have nothing to say ,

Bazshuayi

Very happy I'm not watching the game after that info was just put in my brain. Not bitter, just don't want to see it (and I'll watch the highlights up to the 90th minute haha)

thornburyiron

Then Jesus scores in the 100th minute

Called it.

MrsGrey

Love seeing Man U lose, but hate seeing Arteta celebrate.

jay_in_cpt

Anyone would think Arsenal have beat a top team 🤣

MrsGrey

Think my streamer must be a Manc. Video gone 😂

Bazshuayi

I know its a really massive ask, but what I'd give if we could finish above Arsenal this season.

Would love that, but I'd prefer us to beat them in the EL final, after they drop out of the CL, then they beat Liverpool in the semi-final (as in 1980) only to fall to the massive Hammers in the final.

It just had to happen didn't it.

Screecher Drury says that's why you pay the big bucks. I watched the game and Rice was inconspicuous throughout. His only telling contribution needed a deflection, it's just a pity it was Evans and not Maguire who deflected it.

Coincidentally or otherwise, the first time I saw Rice play was when he scored the only goal at the London Stadium versus Arsenal in 2019.

steve

Own goal it is then

Just seen the replay and it was Maguire who deflected it after all.

No sour grapes at all, but IMHO RIce was just another player and not a stand out player…
Guess he’s buzzing or gunning, bully for him..,
And now he thinks he’s vanilla ice 🤣🤣🤮🤮

That was always going to be his future at a “bigger” club. A very important tool but not a star.

And to be honest, I thought we should’ve treated him the same way to be honest. Don’t think he’s that talented when he actually gets around the opposition box (but fantastic up to that point).

chicagohammer

To be fair I thought that Rice had a solid game but it was bit ridiculous how the commentators waxed lyrical over him, my feed made him MOTM!!

I had to truly LOL at Slackers comment as I had exactly the same thought, celebrate by all means but don’t you DARE…………

It was an enjoyable game and for once VAR actually worked

thornburyiron

He was never worth the money we got for him that’s for sure but who cares. Arteta was the only one prepared to pay the asking price when all the others only offered what they thought he was worth.
He had no real impact at all today until he had that deflected shot but that’s what it will all be about.

Disagree. He was in the game from early on, made a few interceptions and tackles and scored the winner, imo, probably MOTM.

Hey, we all entitled to our own thoughts, but have to agree with Bubbles, IMO the game was better than Rice being MOM 👍🏻

Thanks mate.
