He was very complimentary about City in the second half, didn’t sound gutted like some of them do. Fuck knows what Lee Dixon would have been like on the American channel.

At least Dixon had peter drury by his side who is by far and away the best commentator around

Did we win this game?







And of course....

The thickest, fattest, ugliest **** you’d want to meet sat in his sad fucking lounge room calling our players ugly. These fan fuckers are an embarrassment.

Resorting to name calling of players looks is a tad childish don't you think.

Peter Drury is fantastic. Always fair with every team.

According to one report City played more long balls in the second half than in any other of Pep's games in charge.

Get back to possession based football, its what we do best.

They played such an active man to man system against us, it was the needed out ball. Thankfully, Haaland is up there to scrap for it, and allow us to move up the field.

Normal service will be resumed.

We are also giving up a ton of goals this season.. 23 goals given up in 23 games!

Maybe the short compact defense and not allow young and fast Arsenal attackers room was a good way to go about it.

And strangely 1 thing I noticed.. since we gave Arsenal possession.. they didn't park the bus.. our forwards had room when counter attacking!

So for the right situation.. the strategy is good to have as a plan b!

Let’s just say his allegiances, esp in the more unguarded moments, sounded far more in favor of his previous employer than his upbringing.

I won’t even get into the “American” interpretation of the penalty! I feel like they’re under orders not to criticize the negatives in football (poor reffing, corruption, diving and other cheating on the field) in an effort to promote the game. However, when you hear these ex-pros from the Premier League saying some of this shit, I’m embarrassed for them!

Yep, and our goal difference looks pretty tasty too doesn’t it?

Lee Dixon is truly shocking! All he ever talks about is himself! I watched the Villa game with him on and he started going on about how he got his wedding ring caught up in the nets one time. It was bizarre. He always relates things during the game to what he did when he played. Genuinely stealing a living.
