    Just spoke to my brother he said it was a good game, congrats mate ha ha. Not seen news today I am guessing Southgate is a shoe in for the job?

    I think so...he has been proven to have a high IQ and he is keeping the same players and not fart-arsing around changing all the time,giving the players a chance to bond ,and some of the passing was electric..its just the curse we always bear : the ref giving 5 mins injury time in a friendly ,unheard of !!!....its the right way to go,although the players will feel like shit tonight..i turned over as soon as the 2nd goal went in.

    What is obvious is the players like Southgate, some working with him in the under 21s will be a factor let's hope it the beginning something better than recent years.

    You all set for big game on Saturday ;) got the weekend of so can watch the game thankfully.

    And no Rooney,time for him to be pensioned off methinks...yep im ready for the game,praying that my girlfriend doesnt summon me,but she is Filipino so one might have to jump (God no !!) or make up an excuse ....im worried about Sanchez atm,he is not happy that Arsenal have not pulled him out of the Chile squad and i am too...but i think a draw or a win..

    Never great when summoned when football's on :) United desperately need the win both teams are hit and miss in these games tough one to call, with Ibra suspended could be a big day for Rashford if he starts up top. Does Sanchez want out?

    Thats a tough question...we are on the verge of Ozil signing up,he is staying...pertsonally i think sanchez will follow suit.

    Sanchez is class on his day, press linked him with City though press linked Ozil with United. Newspapers just flat out make stuff up its difficult to take any speculation seriously.

    full of crap...Ozil has just bought a £10m house in London and has a good offer...he is happy and loves Arsenal...Sanchez knows his roots and how far he has come and where we are starting to go finally,so im 99.9% both will stay..we arnt a selling club anymore...

    £10 million house can't be bad, your team should be at there peak now will he a waste if they don't win the league this or next year though competition is tougher than ever.

    No idea what the point of Friendlies are? Just asking for needless injuries.

    Agree so called prestige friendlys are just a exercise in making money for the F.A. etc

    No really it is football. Nobody calls it soccer outside the USA. Even if we do know what soccer means.

    Are Norwich in free fall? What's caused it?

    Arsenal were shite. We could've won 3-0. Great result for them.

    United got a decent run of games coming up, we are lucky to be only 8 points from the top hopefully gain some ground.

    So my decision to be with my girlfriend rather than watch the match paid off it seems..looks like we got a precious point.I will have a look on 'Goals on Sunday' on SKY Sports in a minute and see what Kammy says.

    Anyway,today i am a Middlesborough fan !!
