You watched a different tackle than I did

I'd be very surprised if City beat Bournemouth, Brentford and Villa. If we win our last 5 games I think we win the league. And the odds of doing...

I've watched that tackle on Havertz again about 10 times, it was on X If that isn't a free kick then someone has changed the rules. City player...

Our perma crocked captain who never seems to be around and fit when we really need him. He played 90 min on Sunday, Pat, so I'm expecting to see...

Havertz is a better footballer, Pat. Not convinced he finishes as well as Gyok but we are clearly a better team with an in form Havertz up front. ...

If our mentality was that bad I, we wouldn't be top of the league with 5 to play. And in a CL semi. I didn't see anything in the team's mentality...

Words matter, Peter. And they aren't a bit over the top, they are massively over the top. That's my only point, really. Other than that I agree...

It has nothing to do with blind optimism, criticise the play of the team all you like, I've done my fair share as well. But a shambles and...

Does that mean all the teams below us in the table (that's everyone) and those that didn't make it to a CL semi final (that's everyone other than...

I don't think it's controversial, we did play pretty well, and if Eze's shot spins in I think we would have had a draw and possibly a win, at City,...

You mean when he kicked Havertz leg that was good defending? Yeah if you can get away with it I suppose

I think we're at our best when we try to move the ball forward as quickly as possible once we get it, wherever we win it. Those Pep teams were...

Pressing combined with footballers being fitter, stronger and referees letting them 'play more' is killing football imo We always moan about...

That theory doesn't explain the performances in the CL group stage or the many other good performances i.e. Leeds 4-0. We have seen enough good...

I think the blown it narrative and the playing dull football narrative are simplistic. We have had a lot of injuries this year, and expecting all...

What's really important is whether Gordon is good at beating the low block. This is what we need. Players who are good against a low block. This is...

Not convinced playing through the press is down to just 2 players, Peter. The 3 Sporting players that played through us are probably no more skilled...

Calafiori was never fit at Bologna and he'll never be fit with us. I've also given up on Odegaard ever being available consistently. I think Timber...

Why? I'm not in the slightest bothered about losing Wed night. We have no chance of getting past any of the remaining teams given how bad we are. ...

It is amazing how difficult we make passing through a press look. At one point in the Sporting match one of their defenders had the ball at the...

That would be a fair point, Herb, had I ever said he was great, even once. But you're talking *******s, Herb. Again.

Our inability, or lack of desire, to pass through a high press has been with us a while, Peter. If Arteta could have solved it this season, with...

Yeah, because back in the Wenger years everyone came to Higbury/Emirates and attacked us for 90 minutes. No one ever put 10 men behind the ball and...

You need to get over Gyok, Rich. You told everyone he was the worst Arsenal player you had ever seen. He made you look stupid. You apologised. ...

I would have no complaints at all, GG. His arm was up, that is never a natural position - nailed on for me

It couldn?t have been more nailed on - GG is in the class As I think :-)

How Konate gets through matches without being sent off is beyond me. How Liverpool won the league with that donkey in central defence is even more...

Can't stop thinking about Diaby now. The goal against Villa :love:
