First off, well done Arsenal, that was a class performance and you deserved all 3 points. Secondly I thought we were decent today, we were just lacking that final pass. On another day you'd be expect some of the chances we created to be taken but it was always going to be hard to contain Arsenal, and let's be honest their goals were two moments of brilliance. Absolutely no shame in losing away to them and it didn't tell us anything other than what we already knew. We went through patches, when we got the ball down and played it we looked threatening, but our defence looked far too shaky with the ball, Mignolet included. It's never enjoyable losing a game of football, but in reality we're third in the table with 20 points won out of the 30. One tricky away game crossed of the list, let's go to Fulham ready to bounce back to winning ways going in to the derby. Sometimes in football you just have to admit the better team won, dust yourselves off and move on. That is certainly the case here, it's not like we lost at home to West Brom is it? Cheer up lads, things have been a lot worse. Can't win 'em all!
Good post and my thoughts exactly Had Hendo scored on 9 mins would have been a different game, what was he doing? Extremely poor from him

Thak god somebody agrees - it ain't the end of the world. We can improve and we know it. The question is can they?
December is going to destroy you guys. You might get 6 points all month. Novemeber looks pretty easy going from now on though, bar the Everton game. Cant believe how easy a start you have had but decembers fixtures would be brutal for any side.
Christmas period is always a test for any side. If we get the tough games out of the way, we go in to January and maybe still in the mix, we can strengthen and push on. In reality we all play 38 games, we're still 6 points better off with the same set of fixtures than last season so easy start or not we've improved immensely this season, or since January.
Hull (A), Norwich (H), West Ham (H), Tottenham (A), Cardiff (H), Man City (A), Chelsea (A) Norwich, West Ham, Cardiff all at home and Hull away. Best to get the tough games out of the way and have easier fixtures in between?
No United fan ever thought our first 10 fixtures were easy. Quite the opposite in fact. About as tough as you can get.
Oh look mancs win and we lose, and the obsessive crawl out the woodwork for the first time this season....
The knowledge that the referees and their families will be enjoying exotic holidays, new cars, fur coats and various bling due to the brown, stuffed envelopes they found in motorway service stations after Slurgy had left them there?
