Arsenal vs City Post Match Thoughts

Go

Everyone played well, we outplayed them. The only thing we got wrong was trying to beat Clichy through Theo's pace. We know he's shit, but he has pace. Other than that, solid defensive performance from everyone. Fuck our luck about three times and Arteta, I love you. Did his defensive job ever so well, kept the ball running, and scored that goal.

Really great win, so happy right now. Could have absolutely battered them if our players didn't seem allergic to putting the ball in the net though. What does Ramsey have to do to score?

Other than that, Sagna was amazing, Benayoun worked his arse off, everyone played really well. RVP's really had some bad luck recently, it's like the universe is conspiring to keep him from scoring.

I hope we can cope without Koscielny in our next two fixtures, he's just magnificent.

In the celebration, some dude jumps over the wall and hugs Arteta. Who the hell is that guy?

Dont think Kos is suspended, the limit got increased to 15 yellows (as of 8th April)

Man I've been sooo depressed this past week. Now I feel like I'm back on top of the world!! Thank you Arteta!! also, 0 shots on target for city for the 1st time since last season's same fixture, haha, Fuck city and fuck Na$ri! Hope he's enjoying the money cause he sure as fuck ain't getting no medals!

I thought that as well, but when he got booked Sky put up one of those infobars at the bottom of the screen saying 'Misses next two fixtures'.

Heard he missed that by a couple of hours. So yes he's gonna be off for two matches

That sucks, but Wolves and Wigan shouldnt be too taxing on our CBs

Respect to the fan that got in the huddle... how long do you get banned for doing that? I only make it to a few a year since I live in cali now, so maybe it's worth it?!

As I said in the original match thread, really shocking performance from City, apart from Kompany/Lescott, who were fantastic. We did our job well but their lack of ambition and team unity was laid out for all to see. Balotelli was again the center of attention for all the wrong reasons and Mancini pacing around yelling at his players reminded me of Wenger towards the end of last season- you've tried everything and end up a miserable mess of exasperation.

I heard our fans did the poznan after the goal??? love it!

A lucky bastard? Who wouldn't want to hug Arteta right now?

yeah was pretty funny!

Had a hard time telling the team assembled for hundreds of millions and the 'one man team' full of 'panic buys'. We were tearing them apart for long periods we really should've scored more. Hopefully RvP is convinced enough to stay

nasri getting harassed by Liverpool fans during his drive home

City have gained only 5 points out of a possible 15.

Justin, in that video Nasri says: "Top of the League". Well not anymore.

I have a bad throat for shouting like an idiot after the goal.

Super Mikel Arteta: 94% pass acc, 99 touches, 5 long balls, 100% acc, 5 interceptions, 2 key passes, 1 shot on target, 1 goal.

Great win!!
