Arsenal (A) - Post-Match Thread

My stream packed in right at the death when we had a break three against one, wtf happened there , how did we fuck that one up. It died when Sterling passed it to Mahrez?

Think Mahrez miscontrolled it and sort of tripped over his own feet

Mahrez tried to check back inside and his legs were gone and he just flopped on his arse. Then Pep went "Get Back!! Get Back!!"

Superb win against a much improved and fresher Arsenal side. Very little said - not surprisingly given BT's usual standard of coverage - about the fact that we had a tough game late on Wednesday in London and Arsenal had a longer break. We also had the small matter of one of our best players out through suspected(?) Covid and another one having suffered the ordeal of being attacked in his own home two days previously. As for the penalty incidents, stonewall penalty on Bernardo, correctly referred to VAR and overturned and for the other incident Ederson did remarkably well to reach the ball with Odegaard's studs planted in his leg at the time.

Yes Mahrez took it too close to one of their players in the box and got dispossessed.

Shame because 3-1 would have boiled their piss even more

The 70's called - they want their homophobic joke back.

Really?

No hate towards homosexuals there, the joke is about going down on somebody, would the 70's want their joke back if I knew the name of a female diver?

Weirdo.

We went 33 years without winning away.

FIXED.

We're Manchester City, we fight to the end!

Not a great performance, but getting three points in games like that is the mark of champions.

Love the tears from dippers, chavs and rags - like they haven't been getting lucky for weeks now. Fuck them, 11 clear!

I was nervous - an away game in the deep south with under 3 days rest against a team which hadn't played since last Sunday and a 12.30 ko to boot. And the first half did nothing to ease my fears. We were sluggish, dwelling on the ball and being pressed very high up. We were a yard too slow and Arsenal fully deserved their lead. I was beginning to believe that a "new Arsenal" was emerging. Then, in the second half we saw the same old City of recent seasons; not playing particularly well but working hard, being patient and probing all the time. All a stark contrast to Arsenal who showed that there is still enough left of the old Arsenal to embarrass them endlessly. Wenger's legacy is still ever present. They don't like a VAR review, with which the ref agrees so one of their hotheads throws a hissy and gets a booking for roughing up the penalty spot. He's still fuming about this 2 minutes later so he chooses to clatter Jesus right under the referees nose, so he can assume an expression of wronged innocence as he takes leave of his ten remaining team mates to try and take on the team everyone else in football would least like to face a man down. And the crowd joined in applauding him to the rafters for kamikaze conduct. This was a return to the good old Wenger tradition of support for any gooner who had a good stab at victimhood, at embracing defeat in the name of martyrdom. What young lads like Saka made of it god only knows. But City just concentrate on bagging three more points, leaving others to discuss penalty claims and who deserves the three points, but whatever is the case City certainly earned the three going today.
