A deflected mishit equaliser, losing the toss to see which end they're being taken, and poor penalties,
WOW the tattoo parlours in North London are going to be busy

Hahaha

Based on that game, we are still the team to beat. A lucky deflection and a pen shoot out doesn't mask the better side.

 

[RiversideBlue]

So you missed the 5 min head injury?

Yep. Thought we'd won it and popped out for a piss

 

[Nour]

Not a good keeper no matter what anyone says. Surprised we let Trafford go.

He even looked demoralised

 

[City Hobgoblin]

They're kids FFS, you need to chil

Shilton was amazing. Everyone reckoned he was the best in the world but his feet seemed rooted. That shootout was just a chunky bloke falling over.

In a related subject. How on earth did Maradona get so high above Shiltons fist in the 'Hand of God' incident. His feet were still on the ground when Maradona was 2 feet in the air.

Probably speed balls

 

[Gesario]

Disagree.

I was a kid in the late 90s no need to cry over a friendly

Now a major trophy evidently We got robbed end of story but for me the antics of Arteta an the general effort to beat City at all costs by the media etc ramps the Arse up to a level with the other two in red I fkin despise Even booing our lot as they go up for their medals Cnuts Fk off

 

[Nour]

Now they will run with this narrative of we can beat Manchester city

 

[TheBlueCat]

I didn't say he was great... He worked hard and couldn't move anymore. Pep should have subbed him.

Maybe. He was ineffective all game. He is never a 10 and not a wide player either. He is yet to show what he is for me. He’s got something, I’m just not sure it’s enough.

We might but, every season we have a new initiative - we get it used against us - remember the three player rule - then it gets forgotten about. Personally I’d welcome the added time - the teams that come to the Etihad and waste half a game and we get 3 mins added on. Really not sure where 8 mins came from in that second half.

As I said previously 8 subs came on so theres half of that time.(30 seconds minimum you allow per sub)
