The unfortunate part - worsened by Arteta's injury - is the need for him to begin performing as soon as possible. He is very capable of it but that pressure allied with his injury record makes it difficult. In a good run he can provide unique qualities, even compared with others in the league.
We would have got beaten and we will get beaten next week. The outcome will be much the same, Koscielny has been pretty poor this season and is liable to make an error like he did today.
Granted Squillaci is sh*t, won't affect the outcome of the game though.
It's about living within our means while paying Chamakh £60k a week.
Funnily enough we actually showed 'character, grit and determination' the problem was by then we were a man short and did not have the strength to break through city's strong midfield and defence.
Koscienly was rash but could have got away with that any other week but I have more of problem (again) with vermaelen and gibbs who made terrible decisions in the first half, which is where the game was lost.
Damn, first time I've ever been unhappy about football not being all about mike dean.

Yep, I enjoyed the second half in a kind if resigned, bloody minded way. I thought we showed a bit more fight than usual, albeit against a poor side. But there were times in the (now distant) past I would ave given us a prayer in that situation. Not now though, we were never getting ack into that game.

no all you ever do is complain (even after victory) about arsenal and set up threads defending man city and their approach to the game.
it is no surprise that some people (mostly me) can get wound up by someone who offers NO support to their team and praises others. no surprise you have that tag and also the mods have to understand that too.
anyway, that's all i'm saying on the matter and my opinion of you as a city supporter won't change - because you are one.
also, you cannot 'hound' someone off an internet forum. this isn't syria.
Likewise. It was messy but it wasn't a total letdown. A few of them played well. Particularly happy to see Ramsey have a good time of it. You can tell as much by the lack of internet heroes bemoaning his existence after a defeat. He's got class.
After the match Sky pointed out our stadium wasn't full and that ticket prices are a problem, this is the 1st time this has actually come up anywhere (well first time due to the City supporters not turning up).
This problem is likely to become an issue for the board now due to this incident.
Souness also reckons we're one of the great clubs that do things the right way and that we've decided we won't spend big and won't pay big salaries and that basically that's the way it is and the fans will have to live with it.
He's right of course, but it's the first time someone on Sky or TV has ever said something like that, he also thought that we just don't have the quality to get us out of jail like last season and that we really need someone to put the ball in the net, not rocket science of course but Wenger doesn't seem to see it.
Redknapp though losing Walcott now is only a problem as we no longer have the likes of RVP about, if we did then we'd be able to play hard ball and not give in to his demands, but now effectively we have little choice as we have no other players to rely on for goals.
Souness also thought we shouldn't allow Walcott to dictate where he should play.
