I quite like City

Couldn’t care less who wins the match though. Just been a really good game to watch!

You literally can’t make this up

Trosssard you idiot.

That was fucking stupid

Hate that Arteta consoled Trossard like he did nothing wrong. He kicked the ball away when he knew he shouldn’t. Arteta should be fuming with him not hugging him.

Especially after Rice did it two games ago!

Discipline has never been Arsenal’s strong suit though.

The problem is as always inconsistency, referees usually give yellow cards for kicking the ball away, surrounding the ref etc etc but not always

Kicking the ball away with force is the easiest yellow card for a referee to give, other than a cynical foul to stop a break. Absolutely no point risking it if you’ve already had a booking.

Yep, infuriating. In both cases there have been incidents against Arsenal that they have turned a blind eye to, before deciding the rule applies for Arsenal players.

Especially when Michael Oliver (todays ref) didn’t give Kovacic a second yellow a few years ago against us after 2 borderline straight red challenges and his justification was “he didn’t want to negatively effect the game”

Yeah the commentators mentioned that. Doesn’t surprise me City getting things their way in general but don’t give the referees a chance to be bent

Sending off ruined this game so badly. Fucking boring second half. No space for City to get through. Arsenal don’t want to attack. Shite to watch this.

Disagree. It’s stopped this from being an open, fluid game but the tetchyness is enthralling.

Oh well.

man the fallout from the City Arsenal match is amazing

Rodri out for the season? an important (as yet unnamed) Arsenal player also injured?

can see why Arsenal fans are having a meltdown about Trossard being sent off for kicking the ball away yet Haaland gets no punishment for throwing a ball at Gabriel’s head because it wasn’t noticed on the pitch and isn’t a red card incident. typical City really

also lol at the City fans complaining about Arsenal employing the “dark arts”. cmon man.

All adds to the drama doesn’t it!

They’ll never contain Dibu.

@neddy I reckon you could get something against Citeh. Not Rodri and they haven’t won in awhile. Eddie needs a bounce back after last week

We’ve been shite though. Gunna get pumped

That’s the spirit
