Arsenal (A) | Post Match Thread

Why were the Tarquins booing Jack from the start? Seemed quite sad to me. Little club mentality

Yep happens almost every week, pens rarely, if ever given (unless you wear a blue shirt)

The possible penalty from Walker was exactly the same, the Arsenal player got the shot away and then there was contact with Walker. Decision; no penalty. Not even consistent in the same match.
It was a very, very odd decision to make, the Arsenal players didn't even appeal for it and they appeal for anything they possibly can as a rule.
It would have been an easier decision to not give it, especially as giving it gives rise to the conversation about whether it should have been a second yellow for Ederson.

I wonder why he wasn't successful in management?

Homophones

Let’s see if the FA charge Arsenal for not controlling their fans

Mods, can we move this comment to the joke thread?

;)

Thank you to the PL for their witch hunt. The players wont need any more team talks. Tonight we saw the title winners imo.

Threw cups at KDB when he went off.

Thanks.

Bernaldo should have picked them up. :-)

I'm going to be a bit of a miserable **** and focus on the negative.

Akanji is going to cost us this season if he continues with this volume of minutes. Shame because he looked so good in his first few games

Yeah save it for another day

Alvarez winning penalty here very like Arsenals tonight
All the pundits at half time that night said it shouldn’t have been a penalty
And said the opposite tonight

The Emptirates?! ;-)

You really think 22 days from now, that after the first 5 minutes of the match at the Emirates, that this will result will mean anything in that match?

Oh my god

Easy to think like that.

I remember losing to Chelsea in the FA Cup and thinking it means nothing.

We then lost to them in the League and the Champions League Final.

Losing has a psychological affect on any team, we would know, we've watched our side sweep up records and trophies for over a decade now.

Above quotes were after the FA Cup match, me replying to an Arsenal fan.

I knew you couldn't underestimate Arteta being scared of us in that match by not wanting his best side to lose to us and then bringing them all on anyway.

They've not won a game since then and been pretty average. I think Villa (A) will be a struggle for them too.

Gooners not won any cups recently

What's that German word?

Only played the first one, but have no problem with it. I think it is spot on and fair.

 

[chesterbells]

Not even mentioned on news at 10. If it had been the other way round. Utter bitter bastards.

Was on the beeb 10pm bulletin

Lowest possesion in a game since Pep Guardiola took the charge

Even more impressive!

 

[super_city_si]

Gabriel Jesus is a big miss for them. City have missed him this season as well.

His work rate and tenacity in the final third are incredible. Pep always played him in the big games in the last few years, and Arsenal definitely don’t look anything like the same without him.

I can guarantee he wouldnt have scored those headers though ;)

But will they be able to follow it up with a couple of threads dedicated to it on their forums?

Come off it. Arsenal cant complain about him tonight, he gave them everything. Even Gary Neville thinks both decisions (rashford & tonight) are a joke!!! You'll never see anything similar given again, unless its against City!!

I agree tonight they deffo had more favourable decisions
But there will deffo be some arsenal fans complaining about haalands elbow and a few other decisions - it’s the mindset of all football fans.
You’ve had some shocking decisions go against you this season, Rashford one especially
but honestly, football fans genuinely think officials are against them - if you read other teams forums it would be similar to here.

Don’t want to derail thread as tonight was all about a massive city win.
