Sunday Morning Football as we Head Into the International Break



It's a triple header of sorts as we head into the International Break. It starts with newly promoted Cardiff City , who have yet to score a goal vs the Gunners. The late ones are Burnley vs United where both teams have made a surprisingly poor start. The one not being televised is is the Hornets vs the Spuds where the winner could be top of the table headed into the break. Join me for all the action.

Morning, MUR - thanks for getting us started with an excellent post. I'm looking forward to seeing the North Londoners this morning. Should be fascinating.

Arsenal finally got their season started last weekend, but, let's be honest, it was West Ham. Today, they're off to football wreckers Cardiff City. Let's hope that they can put the hammer down on Neil Warnock's side. I'd like to see a 0-6 thrashing.

How do you imagine that United will get on at Turf Moor today, mate?

8:20 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Good morning, Bob. Thanks, Bob. How are you? Burnley is struggling too and had to play an EL match on Thursday. We might win for that reason. Otherwise, I wouldn't see it.

As UWS stated, the Old Firm and Old Farm Derbies are currently being played.Still 0-0 in the old Farm Derby and Celtic one up in the Old Firm Derby in a reunion between Brendan and Stevie G

Morning, UWS - how are you, mate?

8:27 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Good morning, UWS. I think United have a chance because Burnley is struggling and they may be tired from their EL match. It is true that United have as poor record here.

I don't see the Old Farm derby on ESPN+
That's surprising

Despite it being a relegation six pointer that is a surprise.

All four games in NBC this weekend so far... traditional colors vs traditional colors

An early hard but fair Cardiff challenge. At this rate , Cardiff fans will be out of breath by the half hour mark

8:31 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

An early shaky moment for Petr Cech. How long will he remain in the starting line-up? Arsenal didn’t spend £19m on Bernd Leno for him to be a glorified Rhys Wilmot.

Bristol City and Blackburn as begun

8:32 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That would take them out of the drop zone. Definitely much needed. Daniel Farke about to walk the plank?

8:34 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

YIKES!!!!! Ipswich up to seventeenth. The Canaries out of the drop zone by a goal difference of plus 1

8:35 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It would be sad to see both East Anglian clubs relegated to L1.

8:36 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The winners of Bristol City vs Blackburn will be in a playoff spot. Surprising considering Blackburn is newly promoted.

8:36 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed. I don't see that happening.

8:37 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

As things stand right now, Arsenal are in 11th, largely thanks to their win against the Hammers last week. And Cardiff are 14th.

8:37 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Another nightmare moment for Cech lets in Harry Arter.

8:37 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What is happening there

What a chance
What a miss
What a clanger by Cech

8:38 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cardiff nearly with their first Prem goal of the season. Cech gifted Harry Arter possession and he shot over with just Cech to beat

8:38 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I hate all this keeper good with his feet... how about just someone that saves shots...there are ten other players that can use their feet.... bloody Pep and Barca

8:39 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Ramsey should have scored down the other end too

8:39 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ramsey wins a corner on his return to Cardiff then Neil Ehteridge makes a save from Ramsey off the corner and Mustafi shoots the rebound

8:39 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed, UWS. it should be 1-1

8:40 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

agreed about the keeper. Cech is a good shot stopper and should no better. Great save by Etheridge.

Strange stuff inside the Cardiff box by the Bluebirds survive

GOAL.... Arsenal take the lead with a bullet header

8:41 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Poor marking from Sol Bamaba. Where did he previously play?

8:42 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Not your typical Arsenal goal there. Good corner over and Mustafi beat his man - Leeds old boy Sol Bamba - and put in a bullet header into the top corner.

0-1 Gunners!

8:42 AM

What are the fans singing?

We're winning away

It will be tough for Evil Neil's lads as they have to score for the first time this season to get anything out of this match.

Tractor Boys now second from bottom, one point from safety while the Canaries up to 17th

8:47 AM

Hoilett, the Canuck, with a cross that would be atrocious even in curling.

8:48 AM

Cardiff go close!!

8:48 AM

Oh - Ward and then Hoilett both come close. Knock it off!

8:48 AM

Bobby Reid with a nice cross that nobody was able to divert in then Junior Hoilett curling a shot wide/.

8:49 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Bobby Reid just signed from Bristol City, who could sure use his services today

8:50 AM

By the way, with that Mustafi goal, Arsenal are up to 9th and Cardiff drop to 16th, only a point off the drop zone.

8:50 AM

Nasty by Joe Bennett , who is always good for a card. Free kick from the Gunners version of Hair Bear headed out for a Gunners corner.

I wonder if Daniel Farke is struggling as Canaries boss because the players think he speaks with Farke tongue.

8:53 AM

Can hear Evil Neil complain with that distinctive voice of his. Surely, the Gooner must be telling him to shut it.

8:53 AM

Cardiff lining up a free kick now....

Straight into Cech's arms.

I started watching it yesterday and finishing it up right now
Two Youtube vids, 15 mins long, of United goals of the 70s and two vids of United goals of the 80s.... I want JOSE TO WATCH....THIS IS HOW UNITED ATTACK!!
It wasn't just under Fergie

8:56 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Rawls more like Lou with that free kick that is basically a pass to Cech. No wonder why Cardiff can't score.

8:56 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed. Just don't show him United from Dave Sexton's last season in charge. Otherwise, that is outstanding advice.

8:57 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Jon Champion mentioned that the Emery Board was in charge of Sevilla vs Real on this ground in the UEFA Super Cup a few years ago.

8:58 AM

Decent overhead effort there

8:59 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Bobby Reid over with a bicycle kick as the Gunners failed to clear their lines.

8:59 AM

If the Canaries fail to win then Daniel Farke, the Canaries boss, can get on a ship at nearby Felixstowe and be back to Germany in no time at all.

That Old Firm loss was Stevie G's first in management

9:04 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Thanks, UWS. Prior to that winning streak, I think they drew something like 20 out of 35 matches with most being low scoring.

9:04 AM

Not reading about any goals in La Cazette. Poor pass on the break.

90th minute at PR

9:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Giggsy in attendance in his hometown. Not sure which Cardiff players are impressing him and he should know all about Ramsey.

9:06 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Still 1-1 . A late dramatic winner to come up?

9:06 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Bellerin heads out a cross from La Manga. Does he think he's on holiday?

9:07 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Both teams here have definite problems in defence. Cardiff’s problem is quality, while Arsenal suffer from a lack of protection and a litany of mistakes.

9:08 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That's a decent start, considering Rangers have had EL matches as well.

9:08 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Ends all square down at the Farm

It finishes 1-1 at PR in the Old Farm Derby

1-1 seems like a good result for all told.

9:09 AM

The Tractor Boys ride their to second from bottom, ahead of the Reading Railroad while the Canaries are in seventeenth. Tractor Boys one point from safety

9:10 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

AT PR yes, but At Ashton Gate , not really beneficial to either side.

9:11 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

What we like to hear. Cardiff City the only club in English senior football without a league goal. Long may it continue.

9:11 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Luv it!

9:13 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Would love to see some more Gunners goals.

9:14 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Clumsy by Bellerin as Cardiff will lineup for one of their usual long set pieces and Harry Arter with a shot nearly across the Severn. A pair of stoppage time minutes

9:15 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Arter with another poor effort

He's missed two good chance from almost the same place on the field...the shots landed around the same spot too.... ROW Q

9:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Sounds like the locals are starting to get on the player's back. Not good for their confidence.

9:16 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

1-1!!

Cardiff have scored!!!

9:16 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bloody hell! Cardiff have scored. Camarasa.

9:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL !!!! THAT IS AS CAMARASA TIES IT UP FOR CARDIFF.

9:17 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Really poor defending there in the Gunners backline.

9:17 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

HT

Steve will not be pleased

9:18 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Very sloppy from the Gunners as Xakha Khan gifted possession in midfield . Harry Arter played it out wide to Joe Bennett and his cross was controlled by Camarasa as the Gunners were ball watching and he blasted it past Cech. It's 1-1 at the half./

9:18 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The teams troop in at 1-1. Arsenal will feel hard done by and should be two or three up but they've been crap at the back.

9:19 AM

Second half underway from the Welsh capital.

9:33 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Spot on with that assessment, Bob. An accurate description.

9:33 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Junior Hoilett well wide from long range as the Bluebirds attack from the kickoff.

9:34 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Wonder why the Emery Board paid a ton of money for a goalkeeper then has him sit the bench

9:35 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

another attempt on goal, this time by Ralls, but more like Lou Rawls with that effort.

9:35 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Back for the second half with another cuppa.

9:35 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Thanks, mate!

9:36 AM

Back all clean for the second half.

9:36 AM

A cross from Nacho is headed out for a Gunners corner.

9:37 AM

I was reading the comments and was also reading La Cazette about a missed sitter from the Gunners off the corner.

9:38 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The Gazette muscles himself a chance but fires it over the bar.... would have gone over three goals

9:38 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Stupid hand ball by Bellerin.A typical long Cardiff free kick and nothing comes of it.

9:40 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Well done, UWS.

9:40 AM

Agreed. Would have been perfect if it was a drop kick

9:40 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Mustafi almost in for his brace

9:41 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Xakha Khan will feel like he's on vacation as his cross is headed out by La Manga for a Gunners corner.

9:41 AM

Great save by Neil etheridge

9:42 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The crossing... is so poor... especially watching the vids from days gone by

9:43 AM

Wonder if Gareth Southgate is wishing Neil Etheridge opted to play for England instead of the Phillipines.

9:43 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Aubama has a shot blocked.Then Xakha Khan has a shot deflected over for a corner.

9:44 AM

I think City is now up to fifth and as far as I know that's not idle gossip.

9:46 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Another set piece for Cardiff . Headed away and volleyed wide by Hoilett with finishing that would be great in curling, but not footie.

9:47 AM

Goal for the Gooners AND ME!!

9:50 AM

GOAL! Aubama pulls one out of the top drawer!

Nice finish

9:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I just read La Cazette and read about a cheeky back heel to assist Aubama after he received a pass from the Beaker. The difference in quality between the two sides was clearly evident

Another Mustafi header, this time fumbled by Etheridge but gathered at the second attempt.

10:02 AM

Not sure where the foul was. I agree with the journalist for La Cazette that Harry Arter just fell , but was never fouled. SHould never have been a free kick and Gunners should still be leading.

Glad to see Fred out of that lineup. He's just another water carrier.

No...they both started last week
He is out and replaced by Hair Bear

10:07 AM

Nice slo run by Bobby Reid , but his shot easily saved by Cech then Camarasa passes to Ward, whose shot is off target

10:07 AM

Emery is learning what happens when you play both of your strikers together. They score goals! Duh.

10:10 AM

A sign that it's early in the season. Cardiff has scored more goals this match than the entire season combined and has conceded more goals this match than the entire season combined,.

The Gunners 3-2 ahead on goals and Cardiff 3-2 ahead on subs remaining that can come on.

Cardiff 2-2 Arsenal
Neil Warnock and Unai Emery might not agree but this is a terrific advert for the Premier League. Two committed, attacking, teams really going for it now.
