Soon as I saw the line up I thought fuck me, and so it proved, sliced open time and again

Akanji over Stones or Kova simply baffling

Admittedly, you’ve been hugely successful this last decade and to be fair, I’ve really enjoyed the quality of football you’ve played. I suppose my favourite City team was when Aguero and Silva were in the team. Sublime stuff. However, nothing lasts forever, dynasties come and go and I might be proven wrong but I feel yours is coming to an end.

Nothing against City, per se, but it’s hard to maintain that consistency for years.

I applaud your style of football and the success it brought but to be honest, you are Johnny Come Latelys…you still lag the legacy of the ‘Red Shirts’. Where were you pre 2012?

Never won a european trophy & last major honour was over 20 years ago, pipe down mate haha

This. Embarrassing

Oh yeah, standing up and looking oh so hollier than thou, with that Hebden cum Hardy magnanimity look thrown in.
I must remember to applaud my ex wife when she comes into a restaurant with her new fella, to thank her for the 2 ok years.

He chose a good username - very applicable to Arsenal's mythical successes.
A club relevant in name only - oh, and for drawing a lot of games one dull season.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Two quick things:
a) I thought we drew not lost?
b) Why would you boo Sterling (or Palmer) as they left the pitch? Once a Blue always a Blue. :-)

Should Rodri be the on-field captain? Look at his reaction when he scored - true leadership and motivational response to his goal.

It's baffling why the pitch looked like something from a lower-tier league like this after just some rain, especially considering there had been no game at the Etihad for weeks. It affected our passing and control style, but favored a more direct/counter-attacking style similar to Chelsea's instead.

It was disappointing to hear a few boos, I’d like to think we’re classier than that but I guess the frustration of the game got to people. If we’d been winning comfortably everyone would have joined in with the applause. I hope.
