Listening to them on radio on way back it won’t be long before they’re claiming they are winning the league AGAIN this season, fuck me to a man they were all saying so proud, they are shite and the most anti football tactics this league has ever seen, we’ve never used tactics like this lot do, and thankfully it cost them in the end, just a pity it wasn’t a winner at the death instead
 
Second half Foden and Grealish should have come straight out. Pointless having Walker,Dias and Akanji pot shotting from the edge of the box. Stick some of them upfront and let the decent shooters have the shots round the edge.
 
There always is a few posters upset when Spurs give City a game of football. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't, that's Spurs in a nutshell for you, but I think we can all agree our style is a lot better than the time wasting, gamesmanship and shithousery Arsenal has become.

If Raya didn't fake his injury and Arteta doesn't do that stupid arsehole team talk/water break then the injury time is a minute less. You reap what you sow I guess.
 
Any Arsenal fan, who is proud of that disgraceful display, should be ashamed of themselves.

They employed absolutely disgusting tactics, right from the start; it was plain that they intended to take Rodri out of the game, and Raya's time-wasting was possibly the worst example I’ve had the displeasure to witness at Etihad.

There’s obviously something wrong with their fitness coach's methods, as they fall down with cramp far more frequently than any other club.

About the only thing Oliver got right all match was the second yellow for Trossard. That’s two of their last three matches that they have had a player booked for delaying the match. No doubt, that is coached into them by Lego head.

What the hell has happened to Arsenal?

Joe Mercer will be turning in his grave.

Well I'm going to stay away from the post match thread as it will be 'warm'. Overall 1st Arsenal goal was poor reffing, Gabriel's goal was fine, Trossard is an idiot but I thought the 2nd yellow should have been for the barge on Silva (either way was a red), we defended brilliantly with 10 men, City dug in and maintained their unbeaten home record, I'd have taken a draw at the start, I think this fixture will be a bad blood fixture moving forward. And breathe.

Most fixtures are bad blood with arse these days. Not difficult to see why when that rancid club with that shithouse manager plays the way they do. Then again, having watched your lot for over fifty years I expect nothing less. From george 'bung' graham to arsehole whinger nothing changes. Absolutely classless.

I don't like the 'tactical timeouts'. Raya did one, I'm sure others did as well. It's Mourinho crap that I don't want to see.

There were some genuine cramp issues though - Calafiori and Timber both went off with it and we had Kivior and Lewis-Skelly at the end in defence.

The red was fair enough but it ruined the game as a spectacle and forced Arteta into playing shithouse-ball. Who knows what the score would have been had Trossard stayed on - maybe the same outcome but would have been a better game. But City should be worried that they were largely rendered impotent by that defensive line and also vulnerabilities at set plays were shown. Pep will need to fix that.

Walker had a mixed game - was at fault for both Arsenal goals but also nullified the out ball to Martinelli with his pace. I'd still have played Rico Lewis to be honest but there's a reason Pep is a manager and I'm not.

PS forgot to add Rodri going off made a massive difference. I genuinely hope the lad isn't badly injured and wish him a smooth recovery.

PEG at his worst was not as bad as Lego head was today.

Walker was at fault for the first goal, because Oliver, having spoken to Kyle, didn’t allow him time to get back to his correct position, before allowing Arsenal to take the free-kick.

We were rendered largely impotent because you had ten men behind the ball for the entirety of the second half, and most of the first.
