How did United end with no bookings?

Oh, the ref was Chris Kavanagh... from Manchester

Yet we still won easily, so all credit to Mr Arteta and the players. Let's hope the result and performance doesn't stop us strengthening the squad this month.

Leeds, Palace, Sheffield United, Chelsea, (FA Cup 4th round), Burnley, Newcastle is our next 7. The 5 PL games are obviously priority, although if we can get through the cup rounds it will be a boost - Arteta winning a trophy in the first 6 months of his managerial career will be a great start.

He is from Manchester and he was so biased towards Man United. He shouldn't ref any Manc game.

Lol a guy in the pub came to watch the game as he just needed a Man Utd player to get booked to win lots of money. His mate kept telling him it's not Man Utd anymore and their players don't care enough to get bookings. The mate was correct.

Chris Kavanagh's attempts at trying to stop our subs wasting time was just the icing on the cake for one the most bias refereeing performances I have seen to date. He is not going to last at the top level.

That is a rule that seems to be forgotten about 99% of the time. Was half expecting him to book Kola when he came back on the pitch and walked inside the touchline to the halfway line to be subbed.

Think its the first time I have seen an Arsenal team not react petulantly to provocation for over a decade, whether it was Fred's constant fouling or the referee's double standards. Xhaka tried but was shut up by Arteta on the touchline. I think this is something Arteta has also worked on to build a better rapport with the fans. Our gesturing often spurred the opposition into thinking we were tanking mentally.

That prïiiiick ref was United’s best player

I would have lost my shiiiiit if one of his many errors cost us, which fortunately they didn’t

Congrats. Best team easily won. Admittedly we made it so easy for you. Still believe you’re there for the taking, but Arteta and co did us.

Ref was a caaant. Kolasinac got booked, and almost immediately after United stopped us on the counter and he gave nothing. As you say, luckily we were simply better than them on the day.

How a single united player didn't pick up a yellow was unbelievable.

Clearly bias as fack to united

The consistent bias refereeing where most of the 50/50s go one way really swings games. It won't ever get highlighted properly because it's far more subtle in isolationed replays but makes huge differences over all.
