Match updates:
WHY DOES MOYES INSIST ON PLAYING AN OUT AND OUT WINGER. I WOULD HAVE KILLED TO PLAY JANUZAJ, MATA, ROONEY, AND VAN PERSIE!!!! AHHHHHH!
It's not even like Januzaj doesn't track back. He does! And what? Is Mata playing on the left? Is Rooney? Oh Moyesy, please, let me know what goes on in that beautiful Scottish head of yours

SECOND HALF UPDATES:
45' The teams are back on.
45' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Ferdinand ON , Rafael OFF
45' Smalling goes to right back, and Ferdinand's on as Vidic's partner.
46' Mata takes a free kick from the right and Carrick gets a flick on but it goes wide when no-one can get a touch on it.
51' Nothing to report.
55' See previous update.
57' Dear God, I'm so tired. I can barely keep my eyes open. I need an adrenaline rush.
60' An hour gone. Read minute 55.
61' IT'S OFF THE LINE BY VALENCIA!!! KOSCIELNY CLIMBS HIGHEST FROM A CORNER AND VALENCIA GETS IT AWAY. That was by far the best chance of the match.
65' Arsenal controlling the match mostly with good attacking play.
70' See minute 65
71' Changes are about to occur for both teams.
71' MANCHESTER UNITED YELLOW CARD Valencia fouls Wilshere. Mistimed tackle.
72' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Januzaj ON , Mata OFF
72' ARSENAL SUBSTITUTION Oxlade-Chamberlain ON , Rosicky OFF
76' RIDICULOUS CHANCE FOR GIROUD!! Sagna crosses it in across the face of goal and all Giroud needed to do was get a BREEZE on it and the ball would have been redirected into the net. We're lucky to be escaping...for now.
79' BRILLIANT UNITED CHANCE! Carrick steals the ball in the United half and passes forward to RvP who gallops forward, feeds Rooney to the right, who chips the ball back over to the far post, and RvP heads towards goal but Szczesny gets a crazy one-hand on it and saves.
80' MANCHESTER UNITED SUBSTITUTION Young ON , Valencia OFF
83' De Gea with a brilliant save to plunge United out of the depths of defeat. Giroud plays to Cazorla in the box, who plays to Ozil, who plays back to Cazorla who SHOULD score shooting at the near post from about 12 yards out, but De Gea gets down a-la Giaccherini-save earlier this season.
87' ARSENAL YELLOW CARD Sagna for a late tackle on Rooney
89' Cazorla fouled about 19 yards away. Very very dangerous situation.
90' Ozil takes into the wall and Vidic clears the cross back in.
90' Cazorla gets the ball on the edge of the box and tries to powerfully curl it into the corner but De Gea gets down and saves extremely well.
90' THREE MINUTES ADDED TIME
91' It's intense. I'm not going to lie. I don't want to lose this. Please don't let us lose this.
