Agree

Apart from Forest….they are utter wank

And Chelsea.

No just stating facts, i think we (city) edge it, ive posted 100's of other City posts. Just think there is a lot left in this. SKY do all this run in bollox from Jan to try and drive subs, most seasons come down to last two or three games really.

In our case, last two or three minutes.

Make no mistake they are wobbling.

Zinchenko’s reaction on the bench against Liverpool was telling. He knows we are getting toward the stage of the season where we tend to come alive.

I had 2 gooners telling me Gabriel is the best defender in the league this morning, only for him to cannonball Pacqueta for the penalty and spend the rest of the game shanking the ball into row Z. At the minute, the best bit about their defence is Rob Holdings hair transplant. Fantastic stuff.

Fucking hell. That's not good for a stadium that's held up as one of the best.

They are really weird this year, there's no way that squad of players is a mid-table squad. I wouldn't want to be be playing them and they are capable of throwing a surprise. I'm not saying it will happen, but I can imagine them raising their game and maybe getting a point!

Arsenal play Chelsea the game after they play at ours, if we do our job and put Arsenal away there's no knowing their mindset for that Chelsea game.

Should call them Desmond’s after their last 2 results,both 2-2.

Noticed their goal celebrations were a bit muted today compared to some of their recent over the top ones.

 

[Bluewonder]

They're really missing Saliba, who seems to be an excellent defender.

Without him, they look extremely brittle.

 

[Bill Walker]

Not sure if anyone's touched on it yet, and as I didn't watch the Arsenal 1st half, did Ramsdale - or one of the others - sit down and do a time out for an Arteta teamtalk around 20 minutes, or so?

Maybe, but it did no good :)

 

[2infinity&beyond]

I think you’re stretching it a bit, saying that Chelsea is a very tricky game.

....and Forest who will def be down by then after there pathetic display against the rags.

 

[WestGorton]

They may still do it and if they do it's hats off. It's down to us now.

 

[2infinity&beyond]

Definitely from a confidence pov

and they know we are very capable of winning all our remaining matches...that must make them feel very deflated.

 

[2infinity&beyond]

I think most of us were thinking that about the hammers after 20 mins.

I'm not saying the Saints will beat them, but Arsenal are struggling with the pressure ATM.

I agree. Its a funny old game. Saints wont roll over so a even a draw would be great. Wheres Mick Channon when you need him.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Usually on his arse.

 

[Newman123]

I called it being done a while ago. Our team is having a breakdown and for City its just another weekend.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Does today change that much though?

Well in terms of what we need to do, not really, we still need to win our games

Does it put more pressure on a team that looks like they're clearly starting to feel it? Yeah it does. That can be a big factor too

Plus for upcoming opponents, I don't think anyone watching us in our recent form will fancy playing us

But if I'm Newcastle, Chelsea, Brighton etc. i'd be looking at Arsenal's last couple of games and fancying the job more than months ago.

 

[Jim Tolmie's Underpants]

Wio didn't take the missed penalty very well.

#ThisIsWhatHeDoes

 

[SebastianBlue]

Can someone put Arsenal’s logo over the first runner and ours over the second? ;-)

 

[hammocity]

Love that result but it doesn't actually change much, we still need to win every game, what it does is take goal difference out of the equation which is good for us potentially seeing games out if we go deep into every competition.

They play Southampton before us, at home too so expect them to thrash them and get some momentum back. However if they were to somehow drop points again, we could afford to draw our game with them and a win would surely all but seal it. I want to see a total capitulation, their fans deserve it.



I never, ever get my phone out to record anything at the match, I sit on the barrier to the away fans, if we beat them at our place, I'm filming them, will be a masterpiece for the ages.

The result changes a lot, we could draw against them and be 7 points behind with 2 games in hand, let’s say they draw at Newcastle and we win the next three, puts us a point up, all points are valuable. No way the title is just decided on our Tarquin game, there’s a lot more fight left in the season.
