    Seems strange. If you want to win trophies, why sign for Man Utd?

    If you had a league table of goals conceded per shots faced we'd be bottom by a country mile.

    On average we face 4 shots a game and concede at least 3 of them.

    I'm failed to be convinced there'd be any difference if Karius was replaced by a traffic cone (although to be fair that goal not his fault).

    No, it wasn't. That defending, though. Just as watching Arsenal.

    Would be criminal not to use that Toni Basil song as the inspiration for a Mkhitaryan supporter song now, wouldn't it, @barryt007?

    This is petering out quite pathetically.

    Bite your hand off for a point from here.

    My Fantasy team is taking quite the hit with no Salah/Firmino goal points…

    Can't understand all the negativity around Carvalhal getting the Swansea job. He is a good manager, really. This only means one thing, @barryt007: the top 4 is on!

    Utter wank.

    Karius up for a corner at the end absolutely priceless!

    Even 001 himself going to struggle to put a positive spin on that given Salah played like a total cripple.

    People are often bemused how Wenger keeps his job year in year out. The answer is simple - Liverpool and Spurs are a joke.

    Top 3 off into the distance and somehow Arsenal still can't be ruled out in joining the rather unedifying scrap for 4th.

    Fair play to Swansea, they thoroughly deserved that win.

    They have bought/swapped a tired player,running out of juice...good luck with a 4.5 year contract for a 29 year old.

    Wanker.

    Lol its a good discussion it's quite objective, given me some insight what's going on with the Gunners behind the scenes from ArsenalfanTV point view.
    R.I.P. Jimmy Armfield just found out he died, he was before my time though loved his commentary.

    Not the biggest fan of ArsenalfanTV, but they do have some decent points and discussions sometimes. For the best Arsenal discussions, I'd recommend Arseblog and their Arsecast podcast. Even had Ian Wright on a few times.

    It's much like that with United channels, some content is not good at times, United fan channels have knee jerk reactions to everything, I tend to try and look at the bigger picture.

    I'm quite excited about Mikhi coming here,i think,long term,we have the better deal,not just in wages,but on the pitch.
    Once Sanchez' pace goes,which will be soon ,he has nothing.
    Mikhi doesnt need it ,he uses his eyes .

    Mkyt's is a good player though his body language under Jose was never great and he went missing in games, Mkyt needs a arm round him for sure which is not a Jose strength. Wenger should get the best out of him.

    I'm too. Don't expect result straight way, necessarily, but with new environments, Arsenal might get some good results.

    This is why I don't expect him to deliver from day one. In Arsenal he will most likely get a free-ish role, which should suit him better.
