Said it before .... he had two chances to join us in the past and chose other clubs... I say fuck him... move onYeh thought the same. If we are his next destination he did nothing to endear us to him by doing that. It was a huge goal for his current club so I wouldn't knock him if he did a Tardelli. If he does come to us that memory of him doing a Rooney will always be there.

I too for all the same reasons have had enoughbeen following the blues for 40 years and have to say after today I really have had enough , how the feck the lino could say/think the ball had gone out is baffling , the pen on Aguero , thats it for me I cant stand the inconsitency any more and dont even talk to me about the obvious agenda , Ive had it no more , I'll always love the blues but cant handle this bollocks obvious bias

Rags beat chavs so i wouldn't count on them dropping points,the games are not played on paperAnd the Rags have who?
With two wins against lesser teams we're 4 points above Liverpool.

We are mentally and physically soft throughout the team. We appear to have lost that nasty snarling edge, at the back we are outmuscled too easily and too weak in challenges. When we went ahead did anyone think we would hold that lead? We lack an inner belief and seem to freeze once we go in front. This is probably because we have no faith in the defence and keeper. We dominate possession then contrive to miss chance after chance and you can see the fear growing, the confidence start to drain.
Deep down I think many of us expected a season like this if we are honest. A new manager and no additions to an ageing and creaking defence. A lack of real goalscoring back up for Aguero, a different option to mix things up. Jesus would have helped but we lost him the same as Gundogan was missed in our midfield. I looked at our bench and not one person on it if I was in the arsenal team would have filled me with fear, or inspiration if I was in the CIty team.
All great teams are strong at the back. All great teams also work hard and have a hatred of getting beat. We don't. Pep needs to take onboard very quickly what playing in this league means it is different and more competitive than others and we need a bit more steel and physicallity and a bit less tippy tap. The officiating of our games has also been an utter disgrace bordering on hindering us deliberately at times and unless someone at the club starts fighting back it will continue.
We have six cup finals now to cement top four but I am not sure we have the stomach or the bollocks to get it done. We will see. Roll on next season!
I hope those running the club can see all of these points too and make the necessary changes, rather than thinking 'oh we always have about 65% possession, we're doing well, we only need another winger in summer'!
Huge changes needed, in mindset as well as players, especially the defence and central midfield.
I agree,particularly if it means Aguero leaves.Said it before .... he had two chances to join us in the past and chose other clubs... I say fuck him... move on

Exactly how i feel. Never had much time for this agenda stuff, but not so sure any more. Merlin kicked to fuck and absolutely no protection. 5 cards to 2 when it should have been 2 to 9. For the first time ever, very very close to switching the TV off. If i was Pep, I would have just pulled the players off the pitch and fuck you F.A.

Right.
I've calmed down now after that debacle.
Reasons why it was difficult for us to win that game:
Firstly, the referee f**ked our game plan with his flat refusal to take action against the Arsenal thuggery, which ultimately led to the replacement of Silva through injury.
Secondly, there were at least two penalties that should have been given in our favour. In fairness, they could have easily been given one so I'll concede 1 goal in our favour.
Thirdly, that ball never crossed the dead ball line before it was kicked over the goal line (twice). The fact the official waited until we claimed the goal before the lino flagged that it had gone out, when clearly he couldn't be sure was bollocks and a clear indication that it was a deliberate act to f**k us over. You can bet your bottom dollar that if the keeper had saved it, the ref would have played on and not signalled a goal kick as he should have done if the ball had gone out.
With Aguero's goal, that makes it 3 goals in our favour before HT, and the Arse would have been spent - Game over.
Our defending after the Aguero's goal was piss poor, but that was partially down to the fact we'd had to reshuffle when Silva went off.
Having said all that, we still should have been more than enough for them, but when you start each game knowing that the ref is guaranteed to screw you over at some point, it must knock your confidence knowing however hard you try it just won't be enough. Every goal has to be perfect, without the tiniest reason for the officials to screw us, plus we have to do it whilst getting kicked up and down and not letting the opposition score more goals than us. Not easy.
