Arsenal (A) - Post-Match Thread

I'd react like that if an opposition player done that in front of me.

Yep, ridiculous to expect anything less. Pure goading by Rodri and should have known better

Rest a few for the cup game and play Chelsea having freshened up.

mid he’s gonna just play second string in semis cos of CL games we might as well just toss it in now and have the extra rest

I think a City fan must have sold his soul to the devil to get us that result!
Hilarious doesn't come close!!

I know a dyslexic blue who sold his soul to Santa.
Does that count?

Christ, BT have just shown the Arsenal potential penalty about 10 times & none of them saw the contact from Odegaard on Ederson.
Odegaard Stands on Edersons foot!!

Yes he does, he stands on Eddy's ankle.

We probably wouldn't have won had they not given us a stupid pen, and gotten a man sent off. But if you do that you deserve to lose.

Great three points especially considering we played in West London on Wednesday evening. PL must have thought when they gave us the fixtures that we would screw up once the broadcasters gave us no time to recover. Well fuck you. Tried to screw us with the early away fixtures as well. Random my arse. Most of Arsenal’s moaning is due to a complicit media and their ignorance of the laws. How a team with 29% possession can dominate is beyond me and most of that 29% was their keeper holding on to it. The six second law still applies but against us it can be anything up to 20 secs. ref was shit as were the liners, good job there was someone impartial on VAR today. But operation get the rags into 4th is in full swing. Big shout to the sound guys at BT who managed to mute 3k away fans all game. Tossers.

Agreed, Rodri's actions irresponsible..also, i tried to get a txt today and couldn't. But if i had and spent New Years Day travelling and paying to watch you hope the last gasp winner would be capped by the player celebrating in front of his own fans!...I'd be a bit miffed if i was in the City end tbh

I thought it was a very tired display by City, and as a result we were extremely sloppy on the ball - probably our worst in a long time. Arsenal are getting a lot of plaudits and by all accounts they played extremely well, but I think we saw in part the effects of their additional rest days compared to our game just days ago. We didn’t deserve all 3 points today but this side has a resilience to it and they dug something out.

Even with Arsenal down to 10 men I thought we continued to let the game just pass us by. I know there’s tons of stuff going on about the decisions but in isolation I think he got each one right. The Ederson one is very tight but there’s just enough ball in there and just a little enough man. Any more man and I think it’d be given.

I disagree about ‘We didn’t deserve it’. If you say the referee got his decisions right then how can we not deserve it?

Points are all about the legitimate goals that are scored and in this case we scored more than the other team. Whether we didn‘t play to our usual standards, for whatever reason, doesn’t matter, it’s the final score that counts.

Thoroughly deserved in my humble opinion, we ground out a win when everything seemed against us.
