Arsenal (H) | PL | Post-match Thread

[blue by birth]

I have already apologised, in my fury at Arsenal's tactics and the incompetence of Oliver i had completely forgotten the free kick.

Don't stress mate ...the game was fucking stressful.. reinforced my views that Arselona are a bunch of cunts..

You may prove to be correct on your first point. However, Rodder's injury aside, I can't help feeling yesterday's outcome was a psychological blow in our favour. Imagine you're an Arsenal player who's participated in one of the most egregious displays of footballing shithousery ever witnessed at the home of your principal rival. You are literally seconds from victory when all that cheating - for that's what it was - proves to be for naught. I'm sure you must be thinking (albeit privately), we can't beat them by fair means and we can't beat them by foul. You'd be utterly crestfallen. As a City player, snatching a deserved draw from the jaws of defeat in such circumstances, will feel like a victory and simply reinforce the belief in our supremacy. Fuck Arsenal and all they stand for!

That equaliser felt like a winner to me. Arsenal tried everything but still couldn't stop us scoring.

Would credit them for the way they defended in the second half but jeez, there's gamesmanship and then there's Arsenal

It came to this I need to celebrate a point at home against 10 men Arsenal after we turned to jelly in span of 10 minutes in the first half.
I am not sure what is Pep trying to do, but he is fecking it up big time. Inter in the final year and half ago, RM last season, any strong team in the PL last season, United in the FA cup final, Inter again in the CL and now Arsenal at home. Haaland against back five and being immovable object around the penalty spot is not working. He scored when we caught them off guard on the through ball, but it is becoming bloody rarity against the resolute defence. Please tell me where I am getting it wrong?

Is that you? #BigSam

Gundogan nowhere near making it 2-0, bloody awful shot yards wide.

He hit the post

It was highlighted on BBC motd2. They showed it a few times. It was Rodri. Havertz body checked him as they passed each other. Oliver probably didn’t see it.

Oliver was looking straight at it. Haven’t also admitted it was done deliberately as Rodders had disrespected arsenal or some such

I have purposely not commented till now as I've been to angry with the way arse kept time wasting with the players going down for no reason at all and the way arteta has since come out and said where the extra minutes came from he had no idea well your team under your instructions instigated it. What a Pillock!
Just to let you know I haven't calmed down yet!

Cheesy in his vlog mentioned lots of arse fans in home stands, anyone else see this?

easy to do when tickets get sold on 3rd party sites.

IF you wanted to, you could do the same at Arsenals ground

Poor from Pep waiting so long to combat the 6-3-0 formation. I do worry if we are going to have to rely on doku/ kova and Gundog for creativity. Those 3 were particularly poor in 2nd.half. I know everyone is elated Gundog is back but I have major reservations tbh

shoulda gone old school and swapped Gundo and Dias. Throwing the CB up front is a dying art.
