it is quite disappointing that arsenal are starting to show weakness at such a time when they are almost close to their goal, let's not draw the conclusion yet that they are going to keep losing their matches, maybe after their loss against Manchester united they are going to sit up. I really hope they don't repeat their system of quitting at the final lap.

I don't really know why Arsenal is losing their balance and formation when they supposed to be mkre brutal this time around.
This is football and we should not think that we can easily see Arsenal winning this tournament because they have been known to be very weak when it is reaching the end of the tournament.

It's unfair judging Arsenal's chances of winning the leagues title based on the previous season performance and their last game. I think there are more matches to play this season. It takes a consecutive result to make a good conclusion. Besides we can't be sure of the outcome from the teams below them. Out of the 15 matches Arsenal have ahead of them I only consider Man City and Newcastle their possible obstacles as long as they can defend this two the rest should be walk overs

I understand people who think Arsenal can hand over the title to Manchester City once again. Because it isn't a thing that they haven't done before.

This happened 2 times already. They were in the lead but lost their advantage while closing in on the end...  


This loss against Manchester United at Emirates has no excuses. You can't do that if you are leaving an impression like the best team of the season. I won't be surprised if Manchester City win the league again.

I personally don't expect much tho, but I will not actually go into conclusion that they will loose the trophy because they lost against Manchester United yesterday, this is a club that has actually tried in terms of performance, and they do deserve the trophy to be honest.

But if their performance decline, they might loose it again, although I think that it is too early to conclude that their performance is now bad, because I don't understand the Manchester United of recent,it's still the same Manchester United that won Manchester city as well

So let's see what the season has for us, if they win they win, if they loose they loose.

Arsenal was a big disappointment yesterday no one believed they will lose the match and personally I expected them to win the match very well, Arsenal is doing something. I really don’t like this season the match we will expect them to have issue or to lose or to even draw they will end up winning those matches for the matches you expect them to win they will end up drawing the match or even losing it they have played two matches in Premier league now and they have not won any one first was with Nottingham Forest and yesterday was with Manchester United. If they continue like this then I don’t see them winning the Premier league, they need to start improving again. They should make sure that they win matches so they can top Manchester city with good points and then win the league.

And I know that a lot of people have a lot of enemies, a lot of them don't really like Arsenal, and just because Arsenal lost yesterday, they were condemning them, some were even asking that they should sack arteta because they lost against Manchester united and i know it was painful, but we don't expect games to turn out the way we want it and it was a great lose for us, but it does not change our intention of winning the premier league since the league is not yet over we expect everything, and just that arsenal took the whole thing to be joke, and it did not end well for them and the way they were playing at there defense, because they were living it too open and i was not even sure of all this thing that was happening. And they won't continue like this. I'm very sure that they would have been looking for a way to do damage control because I want all these people to be ashamed because they have looked down on arsenal to much.

Menomally I waited before placing a bet on the Arsenal game, I never expected such a fierce Manchester, after watching him sleep for most of the season he woke up in all his glory?
Thanks to Manchester's favorable odds I won my bet, I could have won more but I'm happy I got it right.
Arsenal taking a turn for the worse? Or was it just a coincidence? Or maybe Manchester want to make up for what they lost earlier?

Don't complain when it has to do with Arsenal in the second quarter of the tournament because it is there culture to lose consistency once all believed and trusted in them to become winners of any trophy, so what is happening now is not a new things as it have been happening for years now. Remember in 2023 season when they where topping the league with more than 10 points before January, they later lost it to Manchester city because they lost consistency in the second quarter of the tournament the same way they are doing now, honestly speaking it will be very difficult for Arsenal to be crowned the king of England if they continue in the same spirit.

As for Manchester united's win yesterday, it is the beginning of there breakthrough and i think they will make it to the champions league next season

[Volgastallion]

What a round of games we just have,Arsenal losing is healthy for the Premier League i feel. Since Aston Villa and Manchester City are now much closer to them and the league is on again.

About the game, what can i said Arsenal play "better" but not so much, and Macnhester United deserve the win for how they fight the whole game against a much better team, Zubimendi mistake on the first goal was hard to overcome for arsenal defense.

If Arsenal fail to win the title this season, then there can be no greater failure for them. While the team has had some problems in other seasons, this season they have a balanced team with a lot of depth. Yet they have failed to maintain consistency and they are not able to dominate as expected. They have repeatedly given Manchester City chances, if history repeats itself, Arsenal may lose support.

Arsenal did a little better against Manchester United, but it was not enough to win. On the other hand, Manchester United deserved to win, their performance impressed me. It was a shameful defeat for Arsenal at home.

[Out of mind]

That was really an epic game between Arsenal and Manchester United! I thought Carrick's team wouldn't lose by a big gap but instead he even brought 3 points for the team...

Arsenal are really hard to beat at Emirates but they managed to do it. I really loved the reaction in the last minutes. A great goal by Cunha. Arsenal have been losing points for 3 weeks. Are they about to lose the title to Manchester City again you think?

The performance we saw of Manchester United against Arsenal was really interesting. Many thought that Arsenal would beat Man United and collect 3 points but it was completely the opposite. We have been really disappointed with Arsenal's performance recently, especially their fans, no one imagined that a strong team would lose like this. Man United played really well in this match, especially their finishing line was very good. They attacked quickly and scored goals, collected points, and thus came in fourth place.
However, many are asking such questions that Arsenal's performance is really disappointing. Manchester City seems to never miss this opportunity. If they play badly in the next matches this season, then Arsenal will definitely lose the title, but Manchester City will go ahead to win the title.

[jakdanyel]

This was just an incredible win by Manchester United! While expecting for a good fight but loss for them the outcome was surprising for everyone!

Arsenal aren't Manchester City in the end. They played better than them against Carrick's players too but it was still not enough. I can't imagine Arteta's frustration.

The gap with 2nd place is only 4 points now and 15 matches to play...

So let's see what the season has for us, if they win they win, if they loose they loose.

Even though Arsenal lost against Manchester United during the weekend I still think that they have all it takes to go all out and win the premier league this season, the lost against Manchester United was really bad though but for me i expected the game to be a draw game  considering the recent form of Manchester United after sacking their ex manager Amorim and hiring Michael carrick for the rest of the season. Manchester United have had couple of bad results and the players needed to prove something especially now that a new manager is in. It was a keenly contested game, Arsenal came from behind twice to equalize but that late Cunha strike was all that make the difference, and I believe if there was still enough time Arsenal would’ve also equalized that last goal. Arsenal just need to dust themselves up and focus to winning their next game of which I’m sure they will.

Arsenal threw the game away after leading 1 nil. They stopped attacking, and started making silly errors. Zubimendi and Saliba especially looked like they were begging Manchester United to score. Overall, it was a disappointing performance, I hope the players are able to shake this off and win their next game.

[Distraction]

Arsenal should be better than this in big matches! First the draw against Liverpool and now a 2-3 loss against Manchester United. Both of them happened at Emirates... 

I really hope this wouldn't be one of those seasons Arsenal finish as 2nd. The 22/23 and 23/24 seasons ended just like this. Arsenal need their consistent times back again.

At least not making simple point losses in comfortable matchups would be enough to make them champions.

That's because Manchester United took the right action in using their strategy, we can clearly see how Manchester United was able to prevent Arsenal players from scoring goals easily and being able to keep up with Arsenal's game, this shows that Manchester United is now different from before, Carrick's arrival brings new fortunes for Manchester United, thankfully they will likely get glory if Carrick continues to be successful in the future and does his best for Manchester United.

Honestly I don't know why Arsenal are doing like this, overall I don't feel like it's Arteta's fault, because he did all he could it's just that although unexpected, Man United were just better. I wonder what Arsenal will do when they face Man City, Chelsea and Newcastle, I feel this are the most likely games for them to drop points especially the City match, If Arsenal comes in second again, it's definitely going to look like Arteta has a curse because Aston Villa and City are fighting for that place too

I don't think Arsenal can win the Premier League this season anymore because with how they perform against Manchester United, i didn't says they didn't try there best but Manchester United that are not in a good shap this season have been doing great against top club that is topping the league table. Last weekend that Manchester City play against Manchester United and lose i didn't feel anything because Manchester City are not really doing well but they have started to impress well and if they get the opportunity to top the league he will be very difficult for Arsenal to win the league title.

Manchester united have really impress me because they have improved there fans and the new coach is doing very great in the league competition and if they can continue like this am sure even they didn't win the league they will qualify for the Champions League next season. Because if Manchester United can beat Manchester City and Arsenal that as show that they can win the league competition that is the tough club in the league competition. Let see how the season will ended.

[Mate2237]

Arsenal is still leading the premier League with some points Arsenal still has a big chance of winning the league, yes they were not in their best performance against Manchester United but that doesn't make them tolose out on the league title. The biggest of teams even lose and we saw that play out in the German Bundesliga were Bayern munich lost to a small team. Arsenal still remain the favorite to win the league.


What you have to know about this win by Manchester United over Arsenal is that Manchester United is having a change when it comes to their management so everything is expected to change and that includes the way that they play. Since the changing of their coach there has been a significant improvements in the Manchester United setup and it has translated to this types of wins.

This result is not a good result for Arsenal they fought a good fight they started the goal scoring but unfortunately they couldn't complete whet they started this season and the result turned against them. Manchester United has become a torn of flash to the big teams they defeated Manchester City to make Arsenal feel happy now they have defeated Arsenal to bring back the happiness of Manchester City and Aston Villa the competition is very open again and Arsenal can still win the league if they will avoid further defeats.

I don't really know how you guys see this Arsenal team to me the draw and the lost is never a big deal to me, if I'm to blame them I'd only blame them for the draw against Nottingham Forest because that was a match they were supposed to win rather than playing draw that was the only mistake they made because I can really blame them on this Manchester United win, at least we all saw how the first leg was it wasn't really that easy for them to win Manchester United and again since the arrival of Michael Carrick though it's just 2 games but we all can clearly tell that Manchester United is on another level so I was actually expecting that win.

Yes, after the change of coach, there were many changes at Manchester United, they changed the way they played so that the impact of the improvement was very fast. Manchester United's victory over Arsenal was a satisfying result for the coach and also the team, it was unimaginable that Arsenal in prime condition could lose to Manchester United in this match.
Let's see what other changes the coach gave to the team, hopefully with this victory Manchester United can maintain its performance.
