Arsenal (A) | Community Shield | Post-match Thread

Sooner or later they were going to beat us. As irritating as it is it’s best in a game that ultimately means little.

Can only spur us on and remove any complacency. Arsenal are entitled to celebrate how they see fit but having spent millions recently they don’t have the look of champions to me.

We shall see.

Double meh
When it counts we'll turn up

That was poor, no creativity what so ever. Need to purchase a creative winger.

Matey you can lose sometimes, We got valuable game time that's worth more than a shield

Gutted for Cole, would’ve been a nice moment for him

Kin hell, Arteta's win bonus for this must have been massive judging by his reaction.

Why can`t people just accept that City lost that due to their own downfall.Fuck all to do with Atwell.We couldn`t stop the bastard goal coming from a corner and then the daft twats couldn`t even take decent penalties.
Just accept that we were at fault.

Agree, poor game management at 1-0. Just sat back and defended and paid the price.

We were by far the better team today and weren’t anywhere near our best. The freaks got lucky today.

Can see the headlines now. But knowing Pep he’ll use this. Exact motivation we needed to see them celebrating in front of us.

Thought Ortega did well to be honest, especially in first half

Good warm-up game. We looked ok considering the stage in the season, understandably lacking some sharpness.

Would have liked to have won it if only to stop them being so fucking unbearable.

Unbearable? If they're going to dine out on that after what we have achieved it's going to make them look seriously pathetic, especially with a scabby equaliser well after the game should have ended. Might have been different if they had stuffed us 3-0 or something
