Wasn't it great to see us challenged? Villa, Brentford and the Arse have all given us great games recently.

Yet somehow yesterday I knew we would win. That red card and the knowledge that Xhaka was on the field gave me hope.

For me Leicester was the best recent game, best game of the season so far in fact. The only team to actually try and attack us. Them and Wycombe obviously. Wycombe made more - and better - chances against us than arsenal did.

The two tough games this week could be huge points in this race. Either way I think one team drops out the race this week. My money is on Chelsea shitting it.

Thought both VAR decisions were right, in previous seasons these may have been called against us ? Very surprised that MOTD punditry thought the officials were correct. Another game where we were not up to our usual standard, Arsenal were the better team in large parts of the game, spurred on by what they perceived to be poor reffing decisions but this makes our win even more satisfying. No one can seriously called our games boring and uneventful. Ultimately we have got through the festive season with maximum points and seen some of our rivals losing ground, who can complain? Great to see another player come into form. Nathan Ake has been excellent in the past two games, hopefully he continues

Yeah not a good day at the office. Spammers won, too.

Been arguing with a few Arsenal fans that in spite of the refereeing inconsistency, it's on us as a team to be able to see out a 1-1 for the last 6 minutes. How and why can't we do that? There were so many phases of play leading up to the Rodri goal where there could have been an Arsenal intervention.

People trying to convince me this is progress. Is it fuck.

One thing escaped all mention yesterday was the grabbing of Jesus in the penalty area. The Arsenal defender had both his arms round him and was more deserving of a penalty than the two talked about decisions IMO.

Is there a set of fans that throw stuff on the pitch more than Arsenal fans? Happens often. Will there be any repercussions from the FA for it?

Entitled FC Mase. As I said beating them at the Entitlement stadium is magnificent. I hope anyone on here who attended yesterday can post the aftermath tears they witnessed.

Cheesy has a VLOG from yesterday on YouTube that shows a few. I watched another one that showed a few Arsenal fans crying. Seems like IanWright that posts here is one of a few decent Arsenal fans.

That channel is the reason everyone laughs at Arsenal. Everyone of their fans on there is a character from The Office.

Odegaard stood on Ederson's foot then bounced like Zebedee. Extraordinary dive. Ederson also nicked the ball. Absolutely not a penalty.

You pull a shirt, it's a foul and a yellow, we all know it. Xhaka pulled Bernardo's shirt, so it's a foul. It was in the penalty area, so it's a penalty. Simples. Their legs knocked against each other and some would argue it was also a foul on Bernardo. We watched it over and over and over again and we reckon it was the shirt pull that was the main foul. It is a penalty beyond any doubt.

Arsenal were beyond their maximum effort to try to beat a side that were evidently very leggy. In the end, they just went over the top and lost their heads. City are lethal and will keep going until they get what they want, despite being tired and not playing well. Arsenal are in a different league to that, a lower one, and it showed.
