Other games 3/4/5 November 2012

[Muddled]

Geoff Shreeves should be on the dole.

[MrsB]

He's good, Van Persie, but I hate the ****er too.

[Muddled]

And Van Persie has scored.

Top, top defending from Vermaelen.

[MrsB]

Ouch.

[MrsB]

The husband is not pleased.

[paulc]

Vermaelen is having a stinker

[Muddled]

It was a muted celebration too.

Jamie Redknapp's only pertinent point in the build up was right: Why not celebrate? It's not as if he loved the club and wanted to stay, or he'd still be there. Fair enough, if you've been booted out of a club and didn't want to leave, but RvP smelt cash and went to a rival team.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

If United win I'm u £100.. Mix feelings about this one now, had Van Persie to score and United to win

He can still respect the club though can't he? He just respects money and trophies more

True (and you're quite correct), but that doesn't fit in with my RvP agenda this afternoon.

[Fernandinho]

Love Wilshere. Happy to see him back. Such a classic one touch pass and move footballer, great engine too. He seems to be everywhere. Like a better version on Hendo

I agree - he's a great player to watch, it's just a shame he's got Ramsey alongside him. And if Arteta doesn't fancy the fight, it'll just be on Wiltshire to keep the midfield ticking over all game.

[Fernandinho]

What the deal with Ramsey? I have never seen much of him, does he hold onto the ball a little too long for most of them?

Arteta as been suprisingly quiet, he normally does well to take control of these games and slow them down, but its passing him by. Its a shame Diaby isnt available, a midfield of Diaby Wilshere and Cazorla would be awesome.

[RichC]

United are all over Arsenal at the moment, they really need to get a grip of the game

[Fernandinho]

I think their midfield is too weak to really take control. Also their left side is awful. I don't rate santos at all and he and podolski dont work well together at all.
