Match Thread | Arsenal vs. Manchester City (21/09/25)

[Gaylord du Bois]

Bernie treading a very fine line towards the end there. Could've easily bought himself another yellow.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I do think we’re missing fodens creativity in the ten role. Don’t really get why he’s been put on the wing

 

[bert38]

Twatwell is appalling-you can never trust him to ref a game.

 

[Micky Blue]

He's a bit good isn't he.

Imagine him in his actual position lol

 

[mosssideblue]

Bernardo going peak shithouse there. Love it.

Not for me. Ref could easily have booked them both for that

 

[Blueknows]

Perfect 1st half apart from our captain losing his head

 

[Ian Latham]

Not the most thrilling performance so far, visually speaking. But as a team it was very good. A couple of minor scares and with better composure we could have nicked a second. First 5 to 10 mins after will be crucial to keep it 1 nil.

Come on City.

 

[p.taker]

Rolling around on the floor because a ball had been thrown at his balls!!!!!

Ouch!

 

[.db.]

Both teams have been ineffective in possession apart from the way we took our goal and Madueke’s general play.

We’ve actually not looked comfortable on the ball at times which is strange for us. But we have been very good defensively and took our chance to score.

We started to look tired in the last ten minutes of the half and we have looked tired at the end of games this season so I can see a pile on by Arsenal late on, so another goal could be crucial.

 

[Blue2112]

Take Bernardo off before he gets sent off. Hes done his job and wound them up no need to get them back in it now.

 

[vicblueman]

Need to take silva off before he gets a 2nd card
their players & fans will moan until they get their way with Attwell

 

[Goater101]

Phwoar. This is a proper game. Great first half blues but hard work next half. We can do this.

 

[SiMCFC]

Gabriel still going. Card the fucking prick for Christ's sake

 

[citysince88]

Players look tired and bernie, whilst funny needs to not get himself sent off.

The boys have done really well to get 1 up. Let's not make it easy for them now.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Look, regardless of the final result, I'll say this now: this is all I wanted. A fighting City. If we go down fighting, I'm always just about ok with it.

But hey, it would be better if we fought and didn't go down, eh?
;-)

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

So if he gets 2 yellows that’s ok then

Shit have I missed him getting two yellows?! I must be watching the parallel universe stream where the scenario playing out in your head hasn’t actually happened in real life.

 

[oldhamblue]

Gotta say, Bernie needs to grow the fuck up, and fast.

Needs to be replaced

 

[Draikin]

Great job from everyone.
Need to use our bench second half

 

[ultraboffin]

Bernado off, Phil behind Haaland and Bobb on the right.

 

[bluealf]

in one way, Silva is lucky not to get a cheap yellow and red for flicking the ball at the player, but in reality, the other player has no excuse for VAR not to book him for really throwing the ball at Silva, Bernie can pretend he was passing him the ball, still stupid though
