Haha

New screen saver. Could you ask him to change the Arsenal badge to sneaky writing letter cunts?

We have wrecked his dreams of obtaining the top4 trophy. The piss boiling is beautiful.
 
I'm still buzzing off this result. It was better than any 7-0 for a number of reasons. One everyone feared the worst, myself included. Three games in six days for us against a young well rested Arsenal side in top form. Two, in the first half and lucky to be only one goal down those fears looked to be coming true. Three everyone wanted us to lose. The never guilty and Chelsea in particular and all their arse kissing media chums. Four Arsenal and their shit self entitled fans lost their heads as we got back into the game. Five, there was controversy around our penalty ( although it was nailed on) that riled them up even more. Six we scored a late, late winner that completely crushed them. Even better and the icing on the cake, Rodri gave it to them, right in their snarling crying faces. Just fucking wonderful.

Have had a great weekend trolling Arsenal fans on Twitter.

They took that defeat really,really, badly.

One epic rant i replied.

"You played a team that was dead on its feet after 3 games in 6 days, and you still fucking lost "

Was beautiful.

It was their reality check that's why they took it so hard. On top form, catching us when we were knackered, this was going to be their day. To prove to the world the old Arsenal were back, contenders once more. Only it wasn't and they're not. Take it, take it you entitled whining letter writing wankers!!!
 
The application of VAR still isn't perfect but has definitely improved this season. It's making a positive difference this season.

Even the match commentators agreed that the penalty decisions were correct at the time and then gradually changed their opinions as the situation of the match developed. This paved the way for BT Sport and most of the press to make the whole narrative about VAR when actually every decision was correct. In the first half, Mcmanaman and Keown both said that the "clear and obvious" rule is a good thing as it allows the referee more control over the game. Then by the second half their views had miraculously changed.

Watching the replay, it's obvious that Odegaard planted his foot into Ederson's path in order to instigate the contact. Odegaard knows his best bet is to look for a pen at that stage. Ederson's foot is about to take the ball cleanly before Odegaard's foot goes in front of the ball as he does so. Ederson then makes contact with the ball and player at the same time.

As for the Silva penalty, there's contact but he does perhaps make the most of the first challenge as most players would but the clincher was the shirt pull which was "clear and obvious." Without the shirt pull it would probably not have been given as a pen.

There's an obvious distinction between both incidents which the commentators noted at the time but the coverage has chosen to ignore since in order to suit their chosen narrative.

What’s hard to understand, Ederson got the ball, Bernardo was fouled in the area, that’s no pen and pen. Soft southern cunts, or should I say cants

Villa last season. One down in first minute but 2-1 up by half-time and won 2-1.
It is ages ago (about 3 seasons if you mean coming back from losing at HT) 3-1 at Huddersfield, but that's hardly surprising as we don't go behind very often.

Thanks much appreciated. Yes I meant losing at half time and then winning. Before the Huddersfield game it hadn’t happened in 96 previous away games. It’s very rare for City obviously as we invariably take the lead first. The Arsenal game showed a real resilience and like the saying goes fight to the end.

Just watched the match again, thought we played some great stuff in both halves, Cancelo was really brave to play after what has happened to him and his family. What strikes me about this game is the way the arse players moaned about every decision, even, maybe especially when it went in their favour! We were a bit asleep for their goal but apart from that I thought we defended really well with Ake and Ruben the pick of our defenders. The arse fans were well up for this game and I though Atwell was gonna bend to that, but I would say its the best refereeing I think I've seen for quite some time. Overall it was a close game but even though we looked a bit tired we were the better team.
