SO much to digest after just two matches, but where better to start than the country-uniting goings-on at Old Trafford? You may dislike Spurs, and they may dislike Arsenal, but nothing brings us all together like watching an implosion at Manchester United.

It’s a national event, best enjoyed together with a few tubes of Pringles and some fizz. It hasn’t, of course, been the happiest half-decade (and some) for Arsenal but imagine having your oldest enemies, Liverpool, and your neighbourhood rivals, City, run away with everything while your own teams slips further down the doom spiral.

Nobody has any sympathy because this was the same last-minute-winning club who would kick sand in everyone else’s faces throughout the 1990s and beyond. In winning, no club displayed more arrogance than Manchester United, and no club shows more entitlement. We often hear what “fans of this great club” deserve, but what makes a Man United fan deserve more than a supporter of any club is never really defined. It’s a horrible streak of entitlement.

Sir Alex Ferguson, of course, dismissed City as the “noisy neighbours” – like the way doctors once thought smoking could do you no harm. But look what’s happened – even in the depths of disaster, Arsenal have never found themselves 4-0 down at Brentford after half an hour.

It won’t be long before the supporters have the green and yellow scarves out, insisting they are Newton Heath purists wanting a change of ownership. But remember the code: red scarves for when they are winning, green and yellow scarves for when they are losing.

• IT was a classic performance by Graeme Souness on Sky at the weekend. Not only did he insist that “it’s a man’s game” while sitting next to Karen Carney and just a few weeks after the Lionesses’ Euro success, but he was also banging on about how the refereeing of matches has been great so far this season as one leg chop after another goes unpenalised. Is it a “man’s game” to drag an opponent to the ground by the hair? Cristian Romero’s dirty tactics against Chelsea were below the belt and needed more calling out. Typically, the FA will take no further action.

• FINALLY, Arsenal. Leicester City are clearly in a bad way and put in one of the weakest performances we’ve seen from them against the Gunners in a while, but who cares? There was a feelgood vibe at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday and the main reason was Gabriel Jesus. He doesn’t score all the chances he gets but his enthusiasm has injected new life into some of the players who stiffened up at the end of last season. A very good buy, but what happens if he gets injured?
