Has Sterling even said what was said?

Marvin Sordell made up allegations, so it's happened before.

Stayed up ‘til midnight to watch the sad ending of a 22-match unbeaten run under new manager Emery. By 2-3 @ Southampton.

Suspensions & injuries were always going to bite. A makeshift defence with Koscielny back after a 10 month injury and Monreal after 2 months, combined with Bellerin and Lichtsteiner going off injured during the game were real blows.

Still, Aubameyang had tap-in chances and Lacazette should have come in earlier.

First year manager has got a Work in Progress in front of him and no-one knows if there is money in the January window for a quality left-back and new centre-back.

It’s taken Pochettino 5 years and clipitty Klopp 4 years to get those clubs up to where they are now. Got to be optimistic that Emery will get Arsenal up earlier.

:lol: It was Southampton and your luck was always going to run out sometime.

Nice to see United struggling as well and Liverpool thoroughly deserved the win, but needed two lucky deflections to score.

Really poor yellow card for Lukaku for his perfect sliding tackle on Keita, who btw studded Lukaku in the shin.

These people travelled abroad to watch thejr team, I'd say they're fans.

As always, media talking crap and muppets buying it. Chelsea are the current scapegoat.

That skull is not the international symbol for death and defiance of death, not necessarily a nazi symbol. Same as last weeks v man city. No proof of racism.

Manchester United sack Jose Mourinho

Manchester United have announced that Jose Mourinho has left the club.
The Portuguese's two-and-a-half year spell comes an end after the Red Devils made their worst ever start to a Premier League season.
Sunday's defeat to rivals Liverpool at Anfield left them 19 points adrift of the leaders and they have already conceded more goals than the whole of last season.
An official club statement read: 'Manchester United announces that manager Jose Mourinho has left the club with immediate effect.
The club would like to thank Jose for his work during his time at Manchester United and to wish him success in the future.
A new caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of the current season, while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a new, full-time manager.'

It would definitely buy you 4 pints of beer, with a lot of change. If you were in sheffield you'd have nearly half the money left in your pocket.

I'm not sure David Wagner's departure will lift the spirits at Huddersfield in a similar way that Mourhino's departure did at United.
I think it may even lower morale.....thankfully Town only have Manchester City first up :shock:

Great control and goal by Lacazette against Chelsea this morn.

Thank goodness Emery reverted to a back 4. Three centre-backs would have looked silly with Hazard playing as a false 9 against them.

When Ramsey went off there was no creator, no player like Ozil with his unquestionable skills, his ability in the old Italian saying to “invent” the game.

Still, Arsenal are now within touching distance of 4th and that all-important Champions League spot.

First one was a deflected shot could have gone anywhere, well finished by Salah tbf, second was a deflection that span it past the keeper, third one was a howler from Speroni. You shouldn’t be so defensive, there’s nothing wrong with a bit of luck, makes you believe the stars are aligned.
