Arsenal vs Huddersfield 

 Burnley vs Brighton 

 Cardiff vs Southampton 

 Man Utd vs Fulham 

 West Ham vs Crystal Palace 

[CaaC (John)+]

United v Crystal Palace rings a bell, United at home Palace near the relegation zone and the Official Man United website more or less said this game would be a doddle, come the day, come the hour, come to the final whistle...0-0, I can't be bothered looking over there and see what they say this time.

All I want like a lot of other United supporters is get out there and kick their arses and we have a good result...but I will hold my breath and wait and see.

If we're to stand a chance, these are the sort of games we must keep winning. However, I guarantee that new manager syndrome will bite us on the ass and we'll lose.

Cardiff v Southampton looks a nailed on draw.

Man Utd 2-0 Fulham - Juan Mata, 27mins

Aubameyang and then Lacazatte both should have put us in front within a minute of eachother.

I am sad to report that United are looking like the only team in this (scoreboard reflects it, so you probably aren’t surprised ). United playing better than I’ve seen them play in a while, Fulham also playing very poorly though. But you’ll be happy to hear that 3-0 is a bit flattering for them imo, they’ve been very poor and you lot have made a lot of good chances.

Switching to Arsenal v Huddersfield at halftime.

Surely is interfering with play given his proximity to the defender and causing the defender to actually do something.

 

Anyway, the goal wasn't ruled out for offside. The referee ruled it out because Arsenal went route one and that's not the done thing there.

That's a crap decision!! he passed BACK to the keeper so surely the goal stands.

it's for when Aubameyang has headed the ball forward towards Lacazette. At that time, the latter is in an offside position, just about.

West Ham 1-1 Crystal Palace - Robert Snodgrass, 48mins. Sounded like a good goal.

Of course it's offside, he puts the defender under pressure from an offside position so has rightly been flagged for it. Correct decision for me.

It's the 2nd phase. We've seen it twice that I recall where a player is offside the whole time, the defender intercepts the pass to the offside player but mishits it and it goes behind him...but since the defender intentionally played the ball it's the 2nd phase, and not offside.
