City v Arsenal Post Match Thread

Re: Arsenal v City Post Mortem

I've been fighting (here on the USA West Coast) since 5 AM with some less-than-gracious Arsenal fans and the Gunner blogger on ESPNFC, where I do most of my posting.

One argument popped up over the Milner pen. Despite the fact that it came with no time left, us 2 up and the ball all the way in the Arsenal end (where we wanted it), some Gunner fans are adamant that he dived, including the Arsenal blogger himself. This seems ludicrous to me having seen it three times, especially given Szczensy's reaction which seemed to indicate he was just happy not to get red. Not to mention me not understanding why in the world Milner would risk a yellow on a dive for a meaningless goal (though there's rumor going round that GD sometimes matters in title races . . .)

Did I miss something, or are these guys just that desperate?

Is it that Mangan fellow on ESPN? He's a twerp.

in 15 matches Arsenal conceded 11 goals, nothing more to say.

In 1 match against Manchester City they concede 6.
That is all.

It is indeed. He wrote that it was a dive, I challenged him in the comments section, and he came right back with "no it wasn't, he dragged his foot to get contact." Some Gunner fans agreed, but some actually came on and defended me to their credit.

I thought it was a definite penalty...but I am biased.
The referee thought it was a definite penalty .......he is not biased.

It was a penalty.

Just read the comments in that espn thread, some gunner gets owned.
He slams a poster saying your analysis is crap and the other fella replies detailing his work as a field producer and is basically very much in the media hahaha.

This win only makes sense if we go on to win at fulham and hopefully arse gets a draw with chelsea.

Yeah, the other fella is me :). I'm the guy who used to work in TV. E Lectric Kompany is my Facebook handle which I created solely to post on ESPNFC. Like lots of other sites, they went FB in July but I like to keep my footy life and my personal life separate so I made a new page.

Most of my takes on City end up on my FB page. I spend more time on ESPNFC to talk with fans of other clubs, and come to bluemoon more to read then post (esp. PrestwichBlue's excellent FFP analyses) . . . and to collect hysterical GIFs, of course.
