    Umar: Ermm..stop complaining how good Arsenal were & should've won. Credit to United. Totally bossed game & deserved to win by a mile

    Atoyebi Oyelere: Apologies to Mourinho, he seems to be always right. Is there a better description of Wenger than a specialist in failure?

    Ajay Patel: All this Wenger out nonsense. It's not his fault that the players all shot straight at De Gea

    Arsenal, meanwhile, are in eighth place, seven points above the relegation zone but eight points behind Southampton.

    Is that good enough?

    Manchester United are back up into fourth place after that win, but are still a mammoth 13 points shy of leaders Chelsea. In fact, they are closer to bottom-placed QPR than Chelsea.

    Wayne Rooney says that he knew Arsenal were vulnerable on the break and they punished them accordingly. It all went to plan.

    Alex McCord:, external Can't blame Wenger for this. Team was dominating totally. Injuries forced his hand. Failure.

    Harry Pitt:, external I'd never thought I'd say this, Wenger Out Now! He is done, we needed to win.

    Alon Nachshen:, external Everyone moaning about how poor Arsenal are. I only wish Sunderland were as poor... #Perspective

    Michael Carrick makes a great block! We still play on...

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 19:25 Greenwich Mean Time 22 November 2014

    That spice we were talking about pre-match is back. Calum Chambers lifts Angel Di Maria to the ground as the Argentine makes the most of a challenge, he then immediately hits the deck again and everyone piles in. A few yellow cards are waved.

    Still three of the eight added minutes left. Can Arsenal pull this off?

  12. GOALpublished at 19:22 Greenwich Mean Time 22 November 2014

    What a hit! Arsenal have missed this man, Olivier Giroud marks his comeback with a cracking goal, smashing home from 22 yards. He just put his head down and smashed it into the top corner!

    Joe, Arsenal fan: Are Arsenal for real? What an inept and shocking performance. Dominate the ball and the game but they just cant score and they certainly don't defend!! Wenger Out.

    Richard in Maidstone: completely fed up with Arsenal and Wenger now. Just do the club a favour and go back to France, disgusted by this!!!!

    Jamie, Harlow: Tactically brilliant from Wenger. If we won here we'd be in danger of finishing above 4th. God forbid we should show any ambition. Losing this means we'll scrape 4th and he'll get his nice CL bonus again.

    Stewart McDonald:, external Enough is enough now. Replace Wenger now before we lose any hope of Champions League for next season. Far to stubborn.

    Alex Maguire:, external So when does Wenger get sacked, he has made team of very good players look completely pathetic #WengerOut

    Mohamed Gafaar:, external Same old Arsenal, can't put the chances away then made to pay. No words to describe Arsenal this season. So so poor.

  15. CLOSE!published at 19:21 Greenwich Mean Time 22 November 2014

    Terrible miss! Arsenal are caught out again, Angel Di Maria has the whole half to run into! He's clean through, nobody will catch him, but he fluffs his attempted chip wide. For £60m, you expect a goal there...

  16. Postpublished at 19:19 Greenwich Mean Time 22 November 2014

    A lot of Arsenal fans have their heads in their hands, while Arsene Wenger sulkily looks on. He'll be wondering what has gone wrong for his side today. In charge for large periods, undone by a defensive error and a clinical counter,

  17. EIGHT MINUTES OF INJURY TIMEpublished at 19:18 Greenwich Mean Time 22 November 2014

    EIGHT MINUTES added on?! Jonathan Pearce is losing his mind. Where on earth has that come from?

    Aidan Williams:, external Win even when you don't deserve to, Ferguson a master of it. Touche Van Gaal. Impressive.

    The Big Valbowski:, external Who was it that said he doesn't score important goals? Rooney is without doubt an #englishgreat

    Andy Brown:, external Great counter. Reminded me of the Ronaldo/Rooney/Park days of yesteryear.

    Ashley Young - a sub - is subbed. Darren Fletcher sent on to totally kill the game.
