In the last four games against these cunts, we’ve beaten them in the Community Shield, beaten them at the Emirates and drawn with them twice at the Etihad. And really we should have won the game yesterday.
At long last, we’ve got them figured out. The intimidation factor is gone. We even went 1-0 down and came back to take the lead. In years gone by we would have crumbled. Instead we responded with great character. And without our captain.
We need to go on a winning run in the league now. Leicester, Southampton and Bournemouth before a big game at home versus Liverpool. Need to be on 20 points when that game kicks off.
I didn’t catch the game yesterday and have only managed to see highlights of the game/read the threads etc, but the fallout and how Man City have acted post-match is really pathetic.
It actually lends a sweetness to a result that was ultimately deflating for us. It shows you how much they have been rustled for then to act this way.
Makes me even more proud of #TheLads that they have extracted this kind of reaction from them.
Plenty of fuel for Arteta and the team to work with in the months to come, cheers chaps.
can someone explain how Haaland is escaping punishment for that behavior at end and somehow FA is “fine with it” as well??? How the F?
I hope he gets poleaxed by some club… and his “stay humble” BS and big man nonsense against his old teammate… he is now enemy #1 to me… will root against him every chance I get the prick.
I was referring more to the throwing of the ball against Gabriel’s head, but yeah he was a utter cunt after whistle too… plus his smashing of Partey was bizarre…
Just rewatched the first half (missed most of it the first time) and here are my take aways.
It’s clear even when we still had 11 men on the pitch we at times deployed the defensive shape from the second half. City were fooled into thinking we were just going to sit back and let them have their way. They were sadly mistaken because we carried more of the attacking threat than they did.
After their goal they looked completely out of ideas as to how to break us down. Playing a high line and trying to pass us to death doesn’t work when you can’t get through us and you constantly leave yourself open to a counter.
Akanji barged into the back Saliba right before Trossard did the same and got sent off for kicking the ball. Another example of double standards. Barging into Saliba seemed to be a City tactic because they did it several times.
Ref had his whistle ready before Trossard kicks it away. Ref probably thought Pep would do to his face what he did to the chair. And why tf was that not a bookable offense for Pep??? If a player on the Arsenal bench can get booked, why not the balled fraud?
Out of everything that’s the thing that bothered me the most, because I feel quite safe in saying had that been Arteta he probably wouldn’t be on the touchline for the Leicester game.
