Arsenal (A) | Post Match Thread

Dias was very good last night and made a very good block in the second half. We need that aggression at the back to push on till June. Think we’ve lacked leaders with him and Stones being out of the team and have been a bit standoffish with our defending, we sort that we win the league.

Not sure how we are top, it is remarkable.

Because we fight to the end....can't win every game but it's the long haul that wins.

Bit of luck and Championeees

 

[Chris B]

Explain please, interested in this.

Perhaps alluding to them buying Jesus and Zinchenko,which gave us the cash to get Haaland.

Although why we bothered when we have infinite funds to draw on from the oil money I do not know.

40 secs in games not bent

 

[The perfect fumble]

Worth a watch....

Not sure how we are top, it is remarkable.

It's baffling. We've stuttered, it's been one step forward two back, trying different formations, bedding new players in. At times we've looked brilliant, others awful. We have however hung on in there as Arsenal have been getting all the plaudits and racking up the points. Football eh? Hopefully we now kick on until the end of the season.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

So chuffed for Jacky boy and didn't he love it. A well made and selfless goal, he finished it well. Keep up the good work you cheeky likkle Brummie.

To be honest I didn’t see anything tonight in their performance that makes me think they are going to win the league. They were ok but Arteta’s mad behaviour is starting to rub off on the team. I don’t think they have the experience.

Lack of experience is a big factor. We’ve been there a million times now and it shows. Super City.

Was a bit disappointed in Clichy taking sides.

Us - Arsenal, Them - City

That is disappointing. I don't understand why players who've played for both clubs in a significant capacity don't just stay neutral.
As against that, Kolo Touré was one of the guests on the OS show with Nat Pike, and he was clearly basking in being a former City player at full time. Despite having played many, many more games for the Arse.
Still remained fairly objective in his analysis at half-time. Which is fine by me.

Will there be an Alternative Commentary? I haven’t seen any for a while and miss them. :-)

Well, as others have said, people were saying that about us come April 2012 when we were trailing by eight points (particularly the pundits).
I think we've now got the psychological edge. But I still have Arse marginal favourites. It may well come down to that end-of-season game at the Etihad.

I'd say the difference there is Kolo's on our own channel, Clichy is on a neutral channe....actually the whole thing sounded like AFTV so yeah, makes sense that Clichy was on their side.

What a bunch of cunts.

 

[Bobby the blue]

felt like a proper performance that last night. For all the plaudits arsenal were and are getting for the first half I can’t see it myself. Had a few chances but that’s football.

Thought city were outstanding. I don’t see anything in this arsenal side that concerns me. Nothing like the Liverpool sides we have battled with the last few years.

I’m more concerned with United than them.

Love Dias. Such a solid old school defender.
Ake is immense at the moment. I’ll be honest and hold my hand up and thought he was the weak link in the defence and not up to the required standard.

Haaland is a joy. Not just his football but his joy and fun for playing for city and the way he immerses himself with the team and the fans.

Pleased for jack. Means a lot to him.

Was probably just about a penalty. Some are given some are not. No real complaints there.

De Bruyne. And to think some were writing him off a few weeks back. Guy is class.

All in all a good night. The walk back to the tube was great.!the amount of bitch arsing their fans were up to was great. Proper bitter.

Come on city.

 

[leo_city]

Extremely delighted Grealish is looking the part, we always knew he had the ability, had to be a matter of application

 

[David Kloppesh]

there has been endless penalty's given when players collide with the goalkeeper and a pen is given

sometime harshly when goalkeepers are just standing there ground, and players make the most of the collision

salah, Kane and co are experts at this

after the shot, never

 

[M12Blue]

T

Never saw that..

hought he went down with thigh injury after 25 min and slippy got into them

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Explain please, interested in this.

Uk government send aid money to Rwanda
Rwanda tourist board sponsor Arsenal
We all know the history in that country
Arsenal sign Zinchenko & Jesus
We use funds to sign Haaland
Maybe a simplistically view but when you’re dealing with an arse fan who chooses to ignore we beat them on the pitch and not in the accountants office, then what can you do

 

[waspish]

Simon jordan fuming that ederson wasnt sent off

Of course he is he is a bitter bitter man and it’s eats him up inside

 

[GaudinoMotors]

This first half masterclass we were on the receiving end of...? Lol. Looked fairly even to me. Anti-City delusion abound.

 

[blue ranger]

Still struggling to understand the “this is a good result for Man Utd” comment from the 2 twats on commentary (Tyldsley/McCoist)
