I have been keeping an eye on the away fans forums this week, as I always do, and I found this thread. This is from the their game thread from Monday night at The Emirates. I've taken some posts from pre, during and post game. It's quite an interesting insight into what they make of our current state, and some of the comments are genuinely funny.
I will post the thoughts about our game on Friday, but for the moment enjoy this Sunderland bonus :) .....
And the rest...
Fancy Arsenal 2-1
State of Arsenal's bench man.
Aguero and silva knocks would help us
Come on man shitty
they are 5 points clear at the top and we are 5 points from safety …pin that on the fking dressing room ffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet you any money in the world that De Bruyne got bullied at school
Can see City scoring two or three on the counter, Arsenal wide open.
Clattenberg must have kept his cards in the changing room.
Well, this is poor.
Shite this. I'm putting Corrie back on
Mariner is an awful ref
Mariner having his usual mare of a game !!
What a finish Theo lad.
He was wrong to book David Silva though
City are only going to get angry.
Man City have so many average players considering the money they've spent.
Giroud shite against the big clubs…
Mangala £30m ? In the real world he's worth about £2.5 he's fucking terrible
He s shit.
He usually is tbf
City will spend in January
Doesn't their central defence they've got playing today cost 50m?
Pellegrini must not care anymore. He's like a teacher up for retirement and it's the last term before the six weeks.
If you go through their squad the lack of genuinely top class players is criminal considering the money they've spent. There's only really Silva and Aguero who are anywhere near being world class, although Sterling and De Bruyne have the potential to be.
These lot are so going to be on the rebound for saturday…
That Otamendi looks just as bad as Mangala
Pretty much. Otamendi looks good with Kompany alongside him but I'd be playing Demichelis ahead of Mangala. Imagine him and Sakho as a pair for France?
it's hilarious how the media gloss over how poor Kompany has been for the last 18 months as well.
City will play like a pub team up until the league cup semi's then will decide to play like Barca.
Anybody else thinking man city will make amends on Saturday
Cracking game now after such a dull, cagey start…
With Leicester away three days after us at home, I think it's more likely that Bony will start for them on Boxing Day.
They could start with Boney M in their line up and still beat us.
To be fair to De Bruyne, he's wasted playing on the right hand side of midfield
Wouldnt be many players left in this game if the referee booked the players for diving.
Bloody hell. Sterling's hit the deck more times than Long John Silver's peg leg
Still think when Toure can't be arsed City look average. His attitude can be really shit.
Man City will do another 50 million up the wall during January on player(s) who are worth 5-10 million on the back of this.
Will Navas ever score again
De Bruyne's a class player, 9 goals and a similar amount of assists so far this season. Pretty impressive considering how often he seems to get shifted out wide.
Toure is the best sidefoot finisher in years
Lovely goal but he's a massive reason why City tend to struggle in big games.
Bony just isnt good enough for city
Nice of toure to finally turn up
Otamendi looks like a barista
