Arsenal v Man City - Mon 21st Dec 2015

[Nilsson]

City have spent £60m+ on 2 very average CBs.

 

[elnino65]

well done for battling to the win Arsenal, it was a half decent game compared to most this season, 11 shots on target in total, that'll do...

 

[Mustard]

Great result. Thought this had draw all over it and it looked very cagey at first, Walcott's goal brought the game to life.

Toure is scary when he's playing well. What a player he could be if he could be bothered all the time.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

And Giroud is a diving little c***. But that's an aside.

When did he dive? I don't remember one.

Otamendi will come good, that Mangala though... :jones:

 

[Mustard]

When did he dive? I don't remember one.

He's clearly mixing him up with Toure when he dived in the box. They do look alike to be fair.

 

[JimJams]

maybe he can't sustain that level of play for 90 minutes, he's getting old

Baby steps, let's see if he can maintain it for 9.

(Cue Toure hat trick vs Leicester coming your way).

mangala was doing well at the start of the season, now he's average

Was the better of the two when they were together at Porto.

 

[Master D]

Bony makes Toure look like a workaholic. A big, shite lump with no real quality.

 

[spireite]

Smat you owe me £450! That 2-1 was 9/1 and I changed my mind and went 2-2 heartbroken

 

[Avatar]

we're gonna win the league.

That's the only one I remember.

Try telling an Arsenal fan in July that we'd beat City with Joel Campbell in the XI while Alexis, Cazorla, and Coquelin were sidelined. Great result.

 

[Renegade]

Well deserved, though Arsenal should have won this by three or four, they completely outclassed City. There were multiple counter attacks where Arsenal outnumbered City in the second half but just couldn't get a third goal. City need Kompany back fast.

Heard that before.

Just shows how little you valued your man Campbell.

 

[thespus]

Heard that before.

About three weeks ago from Liverpool fans?

 

[Renegade]

a goal back that's the least they deserved, I like the side with most possession to win the game, like I like the side who make the most metres in rugby to win the game

You must love LVG's style.

well no wonder some liverpool fans said that after beating a team you probably just sweated like a pig over beating, in a much more convincing way. proving how much of football is down to tactics and belief

 

[elnino65]

no because man utd have no cutting edge, what's the point of having possession when you can't do anything with it fool

Bony makes Toure look like a workaholic. A big, shite lump with no real quality.

He's not that big. I don't get why he's been so bad for City, he was really good for Swansea. Maybe just not cut out for it tactically.

I don't know about that... We only had two shots in the first half. Between the break and Toure's goal we had a lot of chances, which is to be expected with City having to commit players forward. Thought we did deserve the win though.

Great result considering City had definitely won the league after five games.

Bony has done predictable bad for city, as benteke has for liverpool, as vardy would for another club. these players suit different types of football better than others. and they have the team built around them, they are their talismans, or were

 

[Christian Slater]

Manchester United. He doesn't seem to like City much.

Nobody cares about City. Every time you get beat you're castigating someone for being against you. Refs, UEFA and even commentators.

No, I hate Tyler when City win, too.

He's scored 7 in 11 since having a run in the side. As a backup player, that's not too bad.
