Seriously though, why isn't Arsenal's board being questioned? Pretty unfair that Wenger is always the fall guy even though he has bosses to answer to. I wouldn't get too carried away with this win. Manchester Untied are supposed to destroy reserve teams.

Just watched the MOTD analysis, and Rosicky should be ashamed of himself. And of course there was this:

@henrywinter
Henry Winter
At the end, Rosicky Arshavin Chamakh headed straight down tunnel. Van Persie shouted at them to come back & salute #afc fans. Chaos


If I were Arsene Wenger, I'd terminate his contract.

People are calling for Tony Cascarino's head after he described Traore as having a 'holocaust' of a game.

:)

Poor choice of words, but he's not far off.

When we get into that kind of form, someone always suffers, Arsenal don't really seem to be having a lot of luck recently.

I should have said Arsene and the board. My point though was that I don't blame the senior players that gave 100%, nor the youngsters that shouldn't have had to play at Old Toilet, and other than them there weren't many left to blame.

You don't have to replace Rosicky and you guys would be fine.

Excerpts from Gary Neville's autobiography were released in the papers and it is as juicy as promised. I'm going to order my copy today.

I read somewhere that the B-list squad or something can be altered till the day before the game, so I guess it doesn't matter much.

Both are ineligible for the B-List unfortunately. Need to be born after 1/1/1990 AND should have been at the club for more than 2 years apparently :dontknow:

May be they are planning on a January loan could be the only guess. Pogba didn't make United squad either, which is surprising when some other lesser known academy players did.

Kind of surprised that Bertrand didn't make it especially since he's pretty much our 2nd choice LB and PVA has gone out on loan. Unless they're having some loan offers for him.

Not surprised about Lukaku, if he was included that's too many strikers for the 25-man squad.

I thought players 21-under don't need to be registered? Or is that only for the league?
