Pep stopped our players shaking this mans hand! Wonder why and who is it?

Annoying to lose it in such fashion, a jammy deflection then penalties. 101st minute goals just seem a bit stupid really, but I have been annoyed at the silly levels of time wasting and ball being out of play last season.

Overall am happy with our performance. Kovacic slots in nicely, Palmer looks ready to make this is break through season, Kevin looks determined. Plus we still have The Iron Beard to come in.

Luckily the season is determined over 38 games, I didn't think arsenal actually troubled us that much until late on and I can see them picking up a few draws. I still think we're better and have more ways of winning, and this will show over the next few months.
 
Arsenal are so much better than us in every department. You would be after spending another £200m plus. Big favourites for me to lift the league. I hope they don’t erm wobble under pressure….

We are far better than them. Not saying they won't be a challenger but once we start purring it will take one hell of a team to finish above us.
 
Meh. Bit concerned by a couple of things: Why were so many convinced we'd lose on pens? We've lost two in 15 years IIRC before today. Also why were the 8 minutes added for Arsenal to equalise? Why couldn't we have increased our lead in that time?
We were the better team and will almost certainly finish above the bloody Tarquins.

And they’re only there because they come 2nd, didn’t even win anything. The other 19 teams should’ve been drawn out of a hat. What’s the difference in finishing 2nd and 13th? They’ve both won fuck all.

Should have been West Ham, at least they won something last season.

We should have been automatically awarded the game because we won the domestic double!
 
With boycott going on, bad atmosphere at our end, some fans tried their best to sing, but not enough.There wasn't any chants or singing when the players got on the coach from hotel. Our boys could feel it.
City fans back in action, like Pep always said, 'Be there.'
 
Yawn. Community shield. Yawn.
Yawn. Charity shield. Yawn.

Are we done?

Shall we start to give a damn when the season starts? Thank you.
Sanity at last.

Celebrate like you’ve won the Champions league Mikel and co. You‘ve just shown yourselves out to be what you are…….. bottlers.

Pep has recorded your celebrations and will laugh at it with the squad in May. He who laughs last……..

Very few on here are happy when we lose (though, watching the match threads, I do wonder at times). There are different levels of "guttedness". I was disappointed that we lost today. I was gutted, though, when we lost that CL final, when we shit the bed in Madrid in the sf season before last, when we lost to Wigan at Wembley, any time we lose to the rags. I'm pretty much over this afternoon at this stage now. That loss to Chelsea in Portugal took a long time to get used to. A LONG time.

100% I'd go as far as saying that draw against everton felt worse!

This match meant nothing to me, zero. It means nothing like any other pre season friendly match. It would've been nice to win 5 nil of course but we haven't reached full fitness yet due to all the travelling to far flung countries for nothing but PR reasons.
I'm sure Pep see's this like any other friendly, lets not get any injuries, improve our fitness levels. Result irrelevant.

It's very annoying they couldn't kick off a lot earlier, hard for our fans, easy for them. Should've been played in the midlands 1 pm KO. I guess they have to continually justify Wembley stadium.
