Sorry…
I derailed the thread. Let’s get it back on track!
Arsenal!
Unlucky…
Robbed … disgrace !

It’s the referees.
I heard the inverse of this from them when Klopp was here.
Their players are mediocre. Klopp has them performing greater than the sum of their parts. (Half true)

Kluivert was offside.
Wouldn’t have stood if he scored.
No sliding doors moment to see here.

Hmm, didn’t look offside to me when I saw the replay, though it might have been a wrong angle.
What i love is that Nat Phillips is with his daughter.

Was watching in Bein.
They said it would have ruled out after the match.
Genuinely, I thought it was a dreadful miss…
This is what a friend sent me earlier today:

I genuinely don’t remember this but it’s scary stuff!

There’s a reason he’s not a forward like his father

I see Califiori is on the bench today with Lewis Skelly starting again. I get this kid is good, but this situation drives home the misdirection of Arteta claiming he needs more players. They have spent money and brought players in. It’s just that since they initially emerged as genuine contenders 3 seasons ago very few of them have gone on to establish themselves as players the manager has to pick in big games and not in the area of the pitch in which he keeps complaining they need more options.

Thing is the sending off was the kind of behaviour I would like to cut out from a player. This signals that it’s the kind of behaviour that should be applauded.
Again let’s win it before we start with this.

Always the pessimist!
Listening to the 2 Robbies gushing over Arsenal’s defense and how they don’t really need a striker reminds me of all the love ManU were getting after they too beat ManC.
When Arsenal beat someone good 5-1, we can do this. But right now, City are just bad.

Yeah, it’s a good win for Arsenal, but there is also City’s obvious current issues in this ‘value’. Due to a number of reasons, I think we never went 10 or more points ahead of Arsenal, which in my books means they were never out of it. And they remain a high quality side in this league, in some phases of the game they’re the best. There is more work for us to be done. And for all those talks about the leaders and chasers, it’s very, very simple for me: I’d always choose to be the leaders at the top. Even if it’s by a point or a goal. So we have a good situation that we have to try and capitalize on.

I’m not I just think a bit of hubris goes a long way. We’ve not won it. Refs are twats and injuries can be a killer.
We are in a good place and I’d rather be chased than chase but that’s all.
I’ve analysed the game elsewhere and at 1-1 it’s what Man City deserved. They can claim a battering and it’s a bit embarrassing result for Man City but I would say it’s no different from some of our 30 minute performances.
We battered Brentford a couple of weeks back but only scored in injury time.
Positive for me is we saw off a very tough match on Saturday which has seen others falter.

Apparently there is an angel that suggests hes offside on the initial shot before it comes off the post.
Gabriel?

I do think it’s a little early to be celebrating but I’d rather be us than them
