I can't stand him. Shouldn't being playing for United, let alone captaining the side.

Goes without saying for Jacob Harry McGuire and it makes me legitimately sad.

I also am very much over Bruno Fernandes and I don't want to talk about him being a starter anymore.

Arsenal, wow

I look at the 538 projections, see a 66% chance of finishing in the top four and feel pretty good. Then I remember we're Arsenal and I think there's no way we won't screw this up.

they're in biiiig trouble. Brutal run-in coming up. Their best hope is Leeds collapsing even harder than they do.

32% chance of relegation as of right now.

Our annual PSG meltdown came a little early this year  :D  Up 2-0 on aggregate and in complete control until a 2nd half hat trick from Benzema in the span of 15 minutes.

What a joy to see Eriksen back playing again. And what a signing for Brentford, he's been phenomenal.

It is completely wild to look at man u’s roster and then look at their results.  Then again, moutinho and dendonker looked much better than Fred and mctominay and that was without neves who would be starting for Man U and is wolves best midfielder.

The club is rotten to the core from top to bottom. Rangnick isn't working out but he's far from the biggest issue. It's looking like hiring an interim for most of the season was a mistake like almost everything else they do.

Fred has been pretty good lately but I still think they're one of the worst midfields in the league. Shaw, Maguire, and Wan Bissaka have been shocking ever since the Euros. Rashford's form fell off a cliff, Greenwood is finished, Martial left, Cavani is never fit/doesn't want to be there, and Ronaldo plays when he wants to.

On the bright side you have a world class keeper and playmaker and tons of money.

True. Sancho, Elanga, and De Gea have been bright spots. Maybe Pochettino or Ten Hag can right the ship.

Yeah elanga is interesting. I don’t really rate sancho, but I was talking about Bruno.

The one I truly can’t figure out is Pogba. For France he is fantastic but at Man U Pogba is lost because the rest of the midfield is so bad but I think if they get a manager that can get the tactics right and bring in a true workhorse then you could accommodate Bruno and Pogba, but that ship may have already sailed.

I think it has sailed, I get the impression Pogba’s gone in the summer. He’s been divisive during his time at Utd. He could be world class and dominate games on his day but it was way too inconsistent and you’re right that he needed more help in midfield.

I am glad they extended Bruno (although I think MIR is ready to get rid). Sancho is more one for the future. I think he could really grow into that winger role.

I'm done with Bruno. I think he's part of this rotten core and I don't think the talent offsets the attitude. I can't stand players who throw their hands up at their teammates and he does it constantly.
