Some inspirational news expected from Goodison Park today - Big Sam to be unveiled as manager with a backroom team of Sammy Lee and Craig Shakespeare.

Its difficult to see how Big Sams philosophy of 'hoof it long to the big man' is going to fit in with a club that is so conspicuously missing said big man

I expect Andy Carrol will be arriving back on Merseyside in January 😆

If you haven't seen it already, then take a moment to appreciate this from last night

on top of two absolute peaches by...

Ashley Young 😯

I like it when defenders dont just run away from the ball but great goal from Messi Linegard

They've not been blowing teams away of late as they were earlier in the season. Massive win tonight though as United could have cut the gap to 3 points if they were to win the derby.

They've just remarked on Five Live: Pep's nicked Fergies watch 😀

But that's how you win titles. Not just the 5 nil demolitions, but grinding out results with late winners. I reckon the title is a given now, but I reckon the squad is so good that they've got to fancying their chances of going the whole season unbeaten. Especially as Pep keeps saying they can't do it.

Did anyone see the Rooney quote? We needed to show the manager what sort of players they are, yep beating West ham certainly proved something. Was chatting to my folks about pardew as the gift that keeps on giving once you get shot of him as a manager, fat sham is about the same.

Think the Rooney goal was the only 'insane' goal of the night, with Sterling's a very good one, and Girouds''s first goal also top quality.

Big game on Saturday Binners.... what do you think? 😐

Southampton tried to disrupt citehs rythm by time wasting, but they made it too obvious, every dead ball situation they were in control of took 30 seconds longer than would be expected, and they had more than ten. Forster got booked for it, but I thought they were generally getting away with it and deserved more bookings, thankfully it had been noticed and that was where the time came from.

What a match this is?!!! 😯

A proper old school United Arsenal ding dong! God knows how they’ve not got at least one back.

Loved Ramsey shaking Matic’s hand with a “how the **** did you keep that out?” Look on his face. I was asking the same question

Could be anything, this?

I had a few quid on 3-1 United at 22/1. No chance it’s finishing with this scoreline

nice double bluff there Binners.

Only complaint, how come Lingard got MoM when Arsenal had 31 shots and De Gea made what? 5? 6? world class saves.

Once again, 1 in the goals for column is seen as worth more than the 1 that doesn't appear in the goals against.

De Gea was man of the match. He was outstanding! And he needed to be! What a game?! 😯

Pogba out for the derby 😥

Damn you, I was hoping the gunners could at least muster a draw and take a couple of points off utd tonight.

surprisingly few bookings and the red a tad harsh - in terms of what happened in the game but you can see why it was given.

Entertaining to say the least

Next week will be slightly more defensive in nature

De Gea is too good sometimes. Great keeper - best in the world? Can't think of any better.

What would a good result for west ham be tomorrow.?
Keeping it below double figures would be a bonus.

I now have a standard bet on every City game to be 5-0. I might go for double that today

Today’s Observer is praising De Gea’s performance yesterday as the greatest goalkeeping display of the premiership era. And noting the matter-of-fact way in which he goes about it. No drama, shouting, fist-pumping or anything. Just another day at the office

I wonder how big a bid Real are preparing for him now?

and the red a tad harsh

Are you insane? The guy deliberately stamped on the back of the guy's knee. If that isn't a red card, then they may as well just stop giving them completely. Pogba should also have a couple of games added to his ban for this protestations afterwards.

Agreed.

At no point did he look at the ball, eyes on the player all the time, always tells a story. Silly boy.

It was a bloody stupid thing to do, and it was a definite red. He can't have any complaints. Given that he'll now miss the derby next week, which any potential title challenge is going to hinge on, its doubly stupid!

not that i am aware of

yes he was very very silly there and he may get more - Am i still insane now I agree with you or can we consider me cured?

We are not serious contenders for the title even if we beat them

Just re watched it what angle have you got as there was none that allowed you to say this- link please

he seems to just chase the ball miss it [ not by much] and stamp on his leg
I dont think its intentional but you can see why its given

On motd last night, they had an angle that you could see his face. None of the pundits picked up on it mind, so I could be wrong.

I'm still in denial JY. Unfortunately, I think you're right. Its looking increasingly like a one horse race. God knows how many they're about to put past West Ham this afternoon

Did not see it [ no licence] so dont know

It was a fairly bad tempered match at times and a red was inevitable

its not that the best team has to earn how to beat a team that parks the bus and leaves no space. they will adapt, they have the talent, but it might take a bit of time

Its not like West Ham deserve a lead

I’d say they thoroughly deserve the lead.

City have created eff all! They might as well be openly yawning, they look so complacent and disinterested. They haven’t turned up, and the scoreline reflects that

Can anyone recommend a parking spot for Old Trafford? A friend is taking me to the game on Sun, but I'll be coming back from a CX race in Wrexham [slated to finish around 2.30 but there's always some slippage] and may need to drive straight there. Any ideas? Don't really know Trafford at all.

Derby predictions?

Liverpool will beat Everton, 3 - 1. Think I'll sit on the fence for Utd v City, 1 - 1 (but a Utd win wouldn't surprise me - I think they can get at City's defence, if Jose lets them).

Not sure what Pep is doing swapping Kompany for Gundogan.

United poor so far but carrying a threat
