City have slowed down lately even before this

Inter going to go top today and playing Juve next weekend

He was diving, but he was also touched. Players have made it nearly impossible for refs now. And vice versa. Not really. He has a point as you have to go down to get a foul with most refs. See Sterling vs Spurs last season. And Welbeck yesterday

Only 9 points off 17th now

Love football

Oh my fucking god

They'd probably be alright if they appointed a proper manager at some stage. They keep just appointing ex players

Been really unlucky lately tbf

Fuck sake Benevento robbed

Get in

I feel like this is the first one in ages without a single player who can just make something happen. We've always had at least one recently, and right now we have zero Don't want to get into an argument about it again but I think people underrated how important Sissoko was in getting us up the pitch. Even if the end product wasn't always there he'd at least get us into the final third and win a corner or something. I think our biggest issue now is just getting ourselves up into the final third

The only squad we've had in terms of quality similar to this one in the PL that I can remember is the Pardew/Carver season, but I think the league has improved as a whole since then

Definitely imo The thing about this squad is every player has a question mark over them. The team that faced Chelsea: Darlow - signed from Forest, effectively a Championship player a few years ago. Manquillo - was playing on loan to the mackems last season. Mbemba - signed from Anderlecht who play in a poor league and has rarely featured under Rafa. Lejune - signed from a mid-table La Liga side and is new to the league. Clarke - relegated with Villa where he wasn’t a first team regular to start with. Ritchie - a few years back he was playing in league two and was signed from Bournemouth, new to the PL who finished 16th. Murphy - signed from the Championship, young and new to the league. Diame - signed from Hull who had just went up from the Championship, a bit of a journey man who hasn’t been a regular under Rafa. Merino - signed from Dortmund reserves, young and new to the league. Perez - signed from the equivalent of the Spanish Championship as a development player. Gayle- signed from Palace reserves, a bit of a journey man. Subs: Yedlin - signed from Spurs reserves, young and quite new to the league. Hayden - signed from Arsenal reserves, young and quite new to the league. Shelvey - signed from Swansea, wasn’t always a regular and has came from the lower leagues. Delve even deeper o to our squad a you will find a similar theme with all of our players. It’s obvious that there has been a chronic lack of serious investment in the playing squad since Ashley took over. We don’t compete for players with other clubs, we don’t pay top end wages and we haven’t broken our transfer record which stands at over a decade. If we stay up with this squad, it will be an achievement. Saying Shelvey came from the lower leagues is a bit disingenuous mind. He started at Charlton but made his debut at 16 and was at Liverpool by the time he was 18. Its like saying Dele Alli came from the lower leagues when rating the Spurs squad

Athletic holding Real scoreless with 15 minutes left

Arsenal have lost all their shape since the subs

Should be a penalty for Arsenal

Arsenal look really tired now

Horrible that

Haha

I thought it was really good but De Gea stops the cross if its on the other side

Unreal by Pogba. Fuck sake

Nonsense. What you would get such an open end to end game like this? Real Madrid 2-3 Barcelona, back end of last season. Just enjoy the game for what it is man

If Arsenal don't get anything here I'll cry

Just watch the game and stop talking nonsense

This game is special. Can't remember many better in the PL
