***Champions v Arsenal Official Match Thread***

Brilliant performance. Could easily have been 6 or 7. How good was Akanji at LB? 13 up on goal difference now. On to Craven Cottage. Happy Days. Going to the West Ham match next Wednesday. Can’t wait.

So good you had to say it twice

I've watched this team since 1972ish. This is the best. A complete composition of pure football beauty. Amazing. Simply amazing.

Any City player shithousery with Zinchenko?

[Pretty Boy Lee]

On another day Haaland gets 5, but two assists and a goal cannot be snoozed at.

What a total domination of our main challenger. Importantly we now have room to breathe and don’t need to be perfect all season. I think we might be anyway, but will this give them even more confidence?

Cmon City!!!!!!

Just flicked on Sky during the ad break on BT. Expected to see a chat about us, but no. It was about Sheffield getting promoted.

Guarantee if the rags or dippers had just beaten the league leaders in their own designated title showdown match then that’s all that would be mentioned

[Mase]

Arsenal are a horrible club. Fuckin despicable.

[nottsblue]

So the pre match fears over the LB went unfounded

Akanji was superb.

[sheblue]

Spectacular.

Just seen a replay of the 4th goal and Ederson turns to the Arsenal fans and fake cries to them putting his hands to his eyes. Hilarious

Hahaha there's a foot of water in the away dressing room with zinchs salty tears..

[johnny crossan]

Banned Roan looking suicidal on BBC news - he was only there to cheer the Tarquins

[dick dastardley]

Jesus off and gets a decent amount of applause

And not a single acknowledgement by him he's a cunt

It’s a huge statement but agree wholeheartedly.

That’s brilliant and showed what the players thought of this game.

[Beefymcfc]

And, what does that mean?

We can draw our 2 games in-hand and still be ahead on goal difference. If you had to bet on who would gain the most points in all of the other games, there would be only one team.

[blues-clues]

That was a thing of beauty. Could watch it over and over. Art and science and Guardiola magic perfectly combined.

MOTD passed over the utterly blatant penalty on KDB in favour of a re-run of Jesus being 20 yds away from their only first half pass into our penalty area.
Anybody see Pep give Oliver a swerve at the end of match handshakes?

[CTID Hants]

SWP just tweeted Ian Wright... Hi dad, just checking in, are you ok?

Re Pep swerving a match official hand shake: good on him. The referee was really really poor tonight
