Dunno what the hell Southgate is playing at there. It's just a friendly.

He had a load before the match and then, when he didn't feel good during the warm-up, had a load more. Crazy.

BBC Sport saying England and United medical staff were in touch at all times.

Woodward has been on one of his briefing sprees again.

I would love bale back at spurs but I fear that he will never shake his injury problems and will still command a huge wage so I’m happy for someone else to sign him. It would be good to see him back in the prem though.

I was hoping he'd go for Wilshere over Ozil, but that was never likely.

Same was hoping for Wilshere not sure i'm looking forward to this today.

I am still Arsenal Ambivalent. Any result and scoreline is feasible, no one in particular will make a difference in the long or short term

[Mafro]

Is Wilshere good again?

Is Wilshere good again?

For today i would rather have a player that will battle for the ball , Ozil does not do that or rather not his style of play.

Absolutely deserved

[darksideby182]

Looked offside.

[Dowbocop]

Looked offside.

And it wasn't a foul but I don't give a gooseberry fool today

[Irene Demova]

lmao spurs

[darksideby182]

Get in.

[SandyCoin]

Was he offside for the second too ? I couldn't tell from the one side replay.

[darksideby182]

Don't think a part of the body you can play the ball with was for the second

[Dowbocop]

Was he offside for the second too ? I couldn't tell from the one side replay.

Under the current, slightly stupid rules yes.

[Dowbocop]

In all seriousness I think asking linemen to make offside decisions like the ones that have been contentious recently is unfair. It's too marginal now.
