I enjoyed it. There was a fantastic buzz in Manchester city-centre. I think Friday night football is great. I agree with you on late Sunday kick-offs though.Only joined one cup scheme the FA one as I do not, at my age, enjoy midweek night matches but make the effort for PL games.
What happens Chelsea on a Sunday at 4:30pm, Arsenal Friday at 8:00pm and the next match is midweek as well.
That is the FA Cup scheme joining the other 2 schemes in the bin next season.
How do you know that? Just out of interest.Semi concussed, my arse. He played the ref, staying down and feigning a head injury when we had a break on. Gamesmanship is what it was.
The lad behind me turned around and said they were welcome to watch but to shut the fuck up or there would be trouble, they looked a bit sheepish in their try hard black t shirts in January ultra look but didn't make a sound for the rest of the game, and no one reported them. When we scored they were surrounded by City fans giving them stick for 10 minutes so made a break for it.Fair enough but at the Emirates the stewards eject away fans in the home fans to avoid trouble - don’t you do that at the Etihad?
I thought you were a half decent poster for a Tarquin. Changed my mind after reading that shit. Fore-armed the back of his head.Semi concussed, my arse. He played the ref, staying down and feigning a head injury when we had a break on. Gamesmanship is what it was.
Should have brought on Pepe or Lacazette or Aubameyang or one of those other players you’ve splurged huge money on then had to give away.I’d say our team selection played a greater part in our loss than your tactics
Signing off because you've been proven wrong and made to look like a **** more like.Anyway, never let it be said I go running for the hills when we lose - as some have predicted - signing off now as my flight from MCR airport will be boarding soon - all the best!
“Happy with the loss”? Ask the 7,500 that made the trip,if they thought it was time & money well spent! Had you have won, I’m sure you’d be saying that you put a marker down, get beat,and you’re happy, it’s bullshit and you know it…As an Arsenal backer frankly happy with the loss. People can call it loser or small club mentality but when you haven’t won the league in 19 years and you have a relatively thin squad you prioritize competition our biggest competition.
Pretty happy with how our team fared when Thomas was in there. We don’t play well at City no one really does. Lots of changes, and felt we outplayed City and had better chances what they were for early part of match. If City wanted to dent the team’s belief or put fear in us then on that score they failed
