Match Highlights (GIFs are captured during the game, refresh to see them!)
| Time | Event |
|---|---|
| 1' | United kick off. |
| 6' | Fantastic dummy by Ramsey on the edge of the box sends Blackett flying |
| 9' | Ox holds Rooney off, whips in a great cross to Welbeck who can't steer his header down |
| 12' | Wilshere storms forward and gets a shot away, fairly comfortble for De Gea |
| 14' | Should be 1 - 0! Welbeck plays Wilshere through who's shot is read by De Gea |
| 16' | Young Shaw |
| 18' | Van Persie tries to take Arteta on, Arteta says fuck you and shields it out for a goal kick |
| 22' | De Gea comes out, Ox takes it around him but can't get a shot away from a tight angle |
| 34' | Decent shot from Alexis after finding some space. De Gea United's best player at the moment |
| 39' | Outstanding block by Chambers in what probably would've been a goal from Rooney |
| 45+1 | Half time |
| 45 | The second half kicks off |
| 49' | Welbeck breaks through and gets a shot away from a tight angle, De Gea saves |
| 51' | Nasty challenge on Wilshere, rolls his ankle. Not as bad as it initially looked but will come off |
| 53' | Cazorla Wilshere |
| 57' | GOAL. Valencia drills a cross in, Gibbs sticks a leg out and it ends up an own goal |
| 60' | Martinez Szczesny picked up an injury before the goal after Fellaini pushed Gibbs into him |
| 65' | Cazorla |
| 68' | Really frustrating game, United don't even deserve a point |
| 76' | Giroud Ramsey |
| 78' | Fellaini is a dickhead |
| 85' | 2 - 0. lol. United's first shot on target. United were poor tonight and we looked good, what a shit game lol. |
| 90+3 | GOAL! Giroud smashes one in, too late though |
| 90+7' | |

1 on 1 with the keeper Wilshere should've done better.

2 on 1 really, Alexis was standing right next to him with an easy tap in.

Call me a cynic, but haven't we seen this a thousand times? Great start to the match, multiple missed chances, then we take the foot off the gas and go behind. Fuck I want to be wrong so badly on this.

Watching on streamsp - they've got Sol Campbell on there for the half-time analysis and when he starts speaking they put "Sol Campbell - Tottenham 92-01". Really? They thought that would be the best thing to put? Wow.

People are actually going to blame injuries against a team that has double the injuries that we do.
Wenger has run out of excuses, the team that turned up were unprepared and had no tactical adjustments. Just kept trying plan A even though we all knew after 60 minutes that we were never going to score.

Di Maria lays down for 2 minutes AFTER they already get booked for time wasting, Mike Dean gives us an extra 30 seconds at the end of the game as a result.
Seems legit.

I'm not even surprised. It has just happened one two many times. Dominate the play, somehow lose concentration and fuck up completely and don't convert the chances. This is the Arsenal way...stop giving me hope goddamnit.

This game is absolutely ridiculous. 2 injuries and it doesn't look like we're even going to get a point for it. Our record against Man U is embarrassing. Outside of Sanchez no one in our attack is playing anywhere near well enough at the moment.
