***Arsenal v City Official Match Thread***

[Nigels Tackle]

hilarious that the arsenal fans are booing city’s arsenal style tactics

[Sideshow Bob]

this is the most un-city like game i can remember

this is the most un-city like game i can remember

It's as if Peps had the week off and Mick Mccarthy popped in

[Nickyboy]

Not sure this midfield is working. We are giving up a lot of the ball

Think that's by design.

Arsenal doing nothing with it.

Then that's a very risky and very unlike Pep tactic

Scored from a counter attack though so it's working

[nottsblue]

Silva making himself look like a massive dick like Walker did last season against the rags if I recall

[city72]

Get him off before he gets sent off

Good excuse to hook him at half time

[Nigels Tackle]

bernardo is a red card waiting to happen

[nottsblue]

No time for the corner then?

[PeterParker]

We've been very cynical. I love it.
But we need to step up in the second half.

[sheblue]

Giving Arsenal a little bit of their own medicine.
Keep it up lads long way to go here.

[city72]

Hate watch this like no possession giving them corners

[city72]

Crack with oreilly not being able to take a throw in

[zuricity]

Dias needs to up his game, good job Nico is calm at the back there .

[Nickyboy]

He did have ball chucked into his knackers mind.

I quite like the way he's winding them up, they're known to lose their heads.

But I agree he's too close to taking it too far now and can't afford to go down to ten.

Get either Nico or Bobb on for him

[Harry Dowd scored]

Seen this film recently at Brighton. Home manager makes changes, at ht, Pep can’t see it they score, we try our best to no vail 2-1 god I hope I am wrong

[zuricity]

No time for the corner then?

i'm wondering if the Arse ball boys move the towels to the balls on the sideline in the City half coming up. They were there for the Arse wipe - of the ball, in the first half.

[KinkyKinkladze]

Bernardo doing the shit house role to great effect, don't underestimate him. Exactly the type of performance that gets under arsenal's skin.

All doing well, would like to see a bit more from doku and foden. Come on city.

[dick dastardley]

So we get a corner and ref blows for HT, I guarantee if that was assnal they'd have taken it

Crack with oreilly not being able to take a throw in

I've given Nunes plenty of stick for foul throws, but fuckin hell a footballer that can't take a throw in is really embarrassing
