Arsenal (A) - Post-Match Thread

Looked very jaded today but all credit too the lads for winning and keeping at it. By no means vintage today but got the job done at a tough away day. Sometimes going down to ten makes it even harder as you don’t know wether to stick or twist so fair fucks to the boys for getting the win.

Excellent away support today for a 1230 New Year’s Day kick off. Nothing better than a last minute winner at an away ground.

And nice of the Arsenal fans to take defeat with such grace that they think that throwing bottles down on the away fans is somehow ok cos you know they lost. Even more baffling is the stewards standing by and watching.
 
I haven't seen any of these decisions that media arseholes and Arsenal fans are moaning about. I'll watch the extended highlights later and form a view.

But if we got lucky with something, it's just karma finally paying those twats back for Malcolm Macdonald's blatant dive to win the penalty that beat us in the League Cup QF replay in January 1978. If I say Alf Grey, older Blues will fully understand.

Ederson arrogant? This from a fan of a team that tried to pass a penalty against us when we were shit. I laugh in your fucking face.

We’ve had it for years where we think refs are corrupt. The fact these cunts now think it shows where the insecurity is of a set of fans who now have nothing.
 
I said before the game that this would be a difficult game and so it proved. I thought we'd draw this game so to win it is brilliant. It's a fantastic result for City and puts us in the driving seat for the title and it was achieved without Walker, Stones and Foden and we missed them all today.

Arsenal were the better side in the 1st half but the game turned in 2-3 minutes. The decisions were correct.

"all that money and they have to cheat to win :( and who does Ederson think he is"

He admitted it was a penalty for the shirt pull alone, then their player tries to cheat by scuffing the penalty spot up. Bernardo didn't dive either. How cant they not see the leg go across him before he starts to go down? Theirs should have been looked at too, not going to defend that but really one decision is what this massive fuss is about. Imagine if they'd have had some of the refs we've had to put up with in recent years, their heads would explode.

We were lucky to come away with 3 points, Arsenal fans think they deserve a trophy for playing well against City. My how times have changed. The entitlement of the corrupt old big sly 3 is still alive and still as annoying as ever. I will be routing for West Ham to get top 4 over Arsenal just to spite that bald idiot on AFTV.

This sums up soo much of their storm in a teacup.
Sense of entitlement amplified by a lack of emotional control from both fans and players.

I've already posted on this thread that we have supporters claiming we were shit or awful when it simply is not true; it's certainly not backed up by stats - and I don't want to read bollocks about not needing stats when lots of folk need Specsavers.

Our level is so high that our below par is a long way from shit and usually still higher than our opponents. This was a fairly even game until the sending off, we were fortunate with that but Arsenal were fortunate to have the week off.

We're used to battering sides and totally dominating games. We were never going to do that today. We eked out a great result.
 
Arsenal played very well in the first half and deserved the lead, but I thought City defended brilliantly in the main. Once we equalised, Arsenal nearly scored via a defensive mix up, but thanks to Ake we didn’t concede, and then we managed the game well. Pep was right, overall Arsenal probably played better, but their self-discipline cost them the game. I was feeling relieved but understood why City found it tough, but the MUEN player ratings are a disgrace, Ake was immense today, and got a 6 FFS!

there was 57,000 at the replay and thousands locked out, not bad for a shit cup that no one has ever cared about.
