Match Preview
Manchester City v Arsenal.

Todays big match between two of The Premier Leagues Top Eleven clubs will take place under the imposing backdrop of the 115 Charges.

A Sky Sports source understands that one of the options available to punish City would be converting the Etihad into an Aldis superstore.

Pep will be forced to stay on as Store Manager, Grealish and Foden stacking shelves with Ake and Dias on the checkouts.

Ederson is understood to fancy the Security Guard role whilst Kalvin Phillips will return to collect the trollies.

And its live.

Bastard.....thank God I read on a bit.

And then this from David Walsh, their Chief Sports Writer, who says he doesn't support a particular team:

Interesting from David Walsh. I knew him many years ago when he first started out as a reporter. Played football with him for a local team.
I'm surprised that he hasn't been hired to chase us down as he led the way in exposing the doping scandal within cycling, in particular Lance Armstrong.
It was Walsh that revealed in the Sunday Times  in 2001 after a two-year investigation that Armstrong was working with Ferrari, the italian doctor.
I'm surmising that if we were seriously " up to something", Walsh would be one of those reporters that would sniff us out.
Given that he has been quiet leads me to believe that we are going to be OK.

Jesus Christ Richard’s is a disgrace didn’t give us any credit arsenal are brilliant

And now the spin starts:

"The most contentious incident came seconds before the break when Arsenal's Trossard was given a second yellow card for kicking the ball away, leaving the visitors nursing a sense of injustice after City's Jeremy Doku had escaped punishment for a similar offence."

"Most contentious?" Not the referee allowing them to take a quick free kick after calling our full back over?

"Similar offence?" So kicking the ball away and kicking the ball back to where the free kick is supposed to be taken are similar, are they?

Don’t forget the havertz challenge on Rodri after about 5 secs deliberate as well..

 

[jrb]

Don’t bother.

Arsenal, a defensive master piece, unfortunately broken down by City in injury time.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Or the fact that Trousers should have gotten his second yellow for going full force in to Bernie’s back right in front of the fucking ref.

Both offences were a yellow card, but they've got to give it for one of them. I hope they sat there in the VAR booth and said 'which would be funnier?'

“Ricing the ball, definitely Ricing the ball.”

 

[TinFoilHat]

Slimey gets first question as usual.

"Give them credit. They blocked Eddie and every week they are allowed to do it"

 

[TinFoilHat]

Ladyman trying to trap Pep into slagging of OliVAR. Very well bounced back at the ****.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

Walking up Yorkshire St after Burnley game yesterday, Pompey fan ranting about American ownership to any Burnley fan who would listen. He said Americsns were pissing all over football from the Premier league down no mention of Arab owners. Not only us and Newcastle the masses have it in for.

Espn is a diabolical mess with the rag ogden at the forefront of it all. Thnk I'll avoid the media for 48 hours.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I've just had a shufty at the TotW. Troy Deeney is as big a numpty at Girth Crooks was.

Defensive masterclass.
Dogged performance.

Shithouse tactics?

If we had played as Arse did we would have been dragged from pillar to post.

They would call us dirty cheats that are ruining football, and a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern game.

If any other team played like they do (against anybody other than us) I have little doubt that they'd be derided in the media for the cheats that they are; the only reason it's applauded is because it's the only real tactic of the only real rival to Manchester City. They'd spin anything into a positive if it raised the possibility of derailing FIVE on the bounce.

Fucking tactical time-outs and synchronized injuries? NFL blocking teams at corners? Ben "the Bisto kid" White? ...etc...etc...

All applauded because, well, Arsenal are pretty shit at football.


The media in this country are like fucking children.

Arteta looks hyper ballistic every time you see him, he'd have to be staked through the heart when he dies or he'll eat and entire Hungarian village.

LOL, please don't tell me you get upset with Mr Ogden?

He is a manic depressive, hardly surprising for a manc based rag, even Burley and co take the piss out of him.
