Well, lads, it isn't 350K subscribers. But it is our little place on lemmy.
- I feel like I am actually heard when I comment in a match thread on here.
- I like it, we'll have familiar faces during the premier League games
I would like to see Balogun and Smith-Rowe get a run out.
- Me too. And Marquinos.
Just got home from a night out with my brother in law (life long utd fan) - and we didn't check or mention this game once.

I know we will both dissect the highlights tomorrow, but honestly.... no one should care about the result, we'll smash them home/away this year.
RIce or Havertz should have closed out quicker. But Ramsdale should save that every single time.
Proud of Martinelli getting the ball back after he gave it away
should have been saved but fair play
Timber is really impressing me. Ben White might lose his starting role.
- It will be good. He had no competition last season for RB.
Bit of a stinker from Gabriel 😬 good finish from Sancho have to admit
Emile looked good today.
Tierney for Tomi as the only substitute. Arteta with a baptism by fire for our new signings.
- Arteta's doesn't like what he's seen I think. Make them earn their bread in pre-season
Rather we get the shakey moments out now with our new signings than against Nottingham in August.
Thank you Emile, for giving me some hope. That's how you attack a header. Great build up as well afterwards.
- I hope this is a glimpse of what we will be getting from Emile this season. I'm really happy he is back.
Havertz come on! FINISH THAT!
We're being a bit too friendly.
- We're making dumb mistakes. At least we can get it out of our systems before the start of the season.
Gabriel, my man. what is you doing
Thankfully it's preseason.
- I'm already stressed 😂
Awesome work rate from Tomi
Tierney is so solid. I'm so glad he is staying.
Eddie... Should've scored that one.
Ok that was dumb...
- Gabi's been solid up til that point too...
  
  Tomi too... Hopefully we turn it around. And they're doing PKs regardless wtf 😂😂
Let's not open twitter tomorrow lads
They can't build up an attack and therefore they play hoofball. We can't create chances because shot/cross blocked.
- And United players fouling our guys without fear of being carded
  
  🎶 Tale as old as time 🎶
Commentators were talking about when United will challenge for trophies just shows what everyone thinks of the Carabao Cup.
I remain unconvinced about Havertz. If I'm the manager, Trossard and ESR start in that role before him.
Glad we're doing penalties after this. Ramsdale needs the experience.
Come on Arsenal!
Fabio Vieira moment
- Just noticed the hose pipe 😅
  
  It's so effing backwards... I've never seen that
- Those seem like really good seats. Hope we show up in the second half so you can do some celebrating.
  
  I'm surrounded by Yanited fans...but we got a few of our own up here
- For context it's so third world at Metlife...
This second half played out more of what you would expect from a preseason match.
This ref is letting too much go.
- @coygsu @gunners how does one “post” to this thread or feed?
  
  You just did. I think it looks a bit weird on your end when you are posting from Mastodon.
- United are just fouling every time we have the ball
I must say though, even Yanited fans here look inbred lmao
They are winning most of the 50/50s at the moment
This pitch looks like a green jumper my nan once knitted me.
They're gonna wear the away jerseys at every pre-season match, huh? Gotta market them as much as possible. Terrible look, especially near Utd's red kit.
- It's kind of grown on me can't lie. I don't mind it. Obviously I much preferred the black and gold kit tho
Havertz is shaky in defense. It's not looking good so far.
At least our away kit is easy to see when its shady.
Bloody hell it's so proUnited in the stadium
- The US has always been more majority United.
  
  Lol I am not going next year if it's metlife even if it is close, the traffic yeesh...i had so much more fun at Baltimore
Everyone playing Wrexham in preseason but us. Lol
At least now if we're in this situation this season, we have some good depth on the bench
- Couldn't really say that during the season last year.
Good test of mentality in pre-season
