****Arsenal v Man City **** official match thread

[sheblue]

No team has ever won the title with 5 defeats before Xmas. We are regressing more and more each week over the last 18 months.

It's immensely frustrating. The league is there for the taking and were looking like we don't want it.

Mariner...shite
Mercury....shite
Evinrude...shite

We were the better side.

Giroud is a cheating wank as well as a adultery.
He's plain speaking a discusting human Being.

CTID!!!

We were the better side....I just wish we had more zip when we're going forward, it's too languid.
Arsenal will not win the league. When we are full strength we'll go on a run and that will be that.
For all of Ya Ya's laziness he was unbelievable that last 20 mins and what a fucking goal that was. Let Arsenal and the media think they've won the league while we get our scoring boots on in the next few games !!!!

[Hazy2]

Most control we have had since the first 5 games, 2nd goal sums us at the back, that costs us, Navas stealing a living BTW. Keliechi, buries that chance.

[dave watson's perm]

Hope Pep's up for the challenge

[Moonchesteri]

Btw - what does Raheem have to do to get a foul these days?

Tbh Sterling can only blame himself for being a diving twat throughout his short career.
And he hasn't realised yet he doesn't get away with it anymore now that he ain't playing for the dippers

[getdressedmctavish]

Some whining bollocks being talked on here imo.First, the manager picked a decent starting 11 which allowed us to restrict Arsenal, dictate the game and keep the ball whilst creating chances. We put away De Brunes chance and its job done. Instead they score a great goal. Then Mangala gives them one and we are seriously struggling. I would have taken Ya Ya off and asked Fernandino to step up and attack with Delph doing most of the holding. In the event Ya Ya scored a great goal so the manager is vindicated.What Pellers cant do anything about is the fact that Kompany is a crock, Mangala is not good enough, Ya Ya is fhinished in midfield and Silva is not fully fit. Aguero as ever when coming back from injury is a waste of a shirt but you have to play him or he will never get fit.I don't expect any of these problems to be addressed before the summer. So I don't expect to do much this season unless by some miracle Kompany, Silva and Aguero all play the majority of games and we find away of accommodating Ya Ya, almost impossible I would say. But a great game and yes I did my share of screaming at the tele, but I think in the end we and Pellers did ok in the circumstances. All this about having the best squad is bollocks if they aint fit or fit for purpose.

If he chooses Chelsea or rags we're fucked

[dick dastardley]

Sky twats laying into Toure and rightly so.

[Dub City]

The level of performance is just not good enough.
We managed to make them look decent, although Arsenal are actually shit.

We seemed in charge of the game until they decided to go forward. 2 shots and 2 goals won the game, which probably proves your point.

We beat them on every stat apart from goals and cheating bastard referee. Pity the first half set-up allowed them to take the game.

Pellers is the new Wenger, does not know how to set-up a defence. Away from home or not, that just wasn't good enough again and I didn't get that 'Bode well' feeling going forward.

A change around needed for us to win this year, we look short.

He's not got a defence to set up. Playing the mangler is like giving the opposition a goal start.
And we need to stop misfiring in front of goal.

Well there might be someone in the youth team that could slot in. Sagna been shite since Liverpool match after a very good start to season. Maffeo won't get a chance for whatever reason. How will we ever know if those players are good enough if they are not given the chance.

Problem is we have been listening to it for years.

[littlebig]

The useless, old cunt should be chased out of Manchester tomorrow.

Horrible fucking yes man cunt.

Please refrain from using such abuse at our manager

[City64]

That was our best performance in the league for some time and we got beat because we are shite at the back , conceding bucket loads of goals and dropping bucket loads of points in the process ! Mangala drops at least 2 enormous bollocks every game and Otamendi was all over the place at times tonight . Pellegrini also fucked up first half with his tactics , Yaya HAS to play a more forward role NOT fucking David Silva !!!! Arsenal were there for the taking at 0-0 , maybe Pellegrini was over compensating because we have 2 dummies for center backs ????

Irritating as fuck having a shit defence with all the firepower and class we have in the squad !!!!

We have , has the manager ?

[Bluemoon16]

Fact is we have an ageing squad, if not the oldest in the division. The sooner we introduce younger players the better. Yaya's glorious days are over and he should in no way play 90min of football, his body can't take it and it's embarrassing to see him outrun and out muscled by some unknown youngster.

[South Stand Balti]

It's also frustrating that those 2 centre backs cost us £70m. I don't know who has been buying our players over the last year or two but it's been a fucking joke.

i have read some utter , utter crap on here but what you write takes the cake.


Arse got lucky , accept it. there you go , two sentences.

No , the ARSE got lucky

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Totally dispirited after watching that.

[everyonehatesus]

Taking positives from the game, it's the best we have moved the ball about for a while, the ginger bugger puts the chance away in the 30th minute we are well in control imo.
We know that this lot will most likely bottle it after Christmas, the fox'shave tough few games to come and a small squad so we still have more than a chance of pinching the title.
The players are slowly coming back from the physio bench so let's get Christmasout of the way and regroup, it's very much still there for the taking.
