Match Reaction v Man City

[BOBN]

Gervinho is better tbh

gervinho is more dangerous, cheaper, and has bigger room for improvement. simples

Classless, degenerate, gold-mining, money-grabbing, knuckle-dragging meat-heads.

It aint that serious dude, it's just football

After Balotelli should’ve picked up 3 red cards, ref being a dick, Vermaelen stopped a certain Van Persie goal, Van Persie hit the post and Vermaelen/Benayoun missed a simple chance, after absolutely ****ing them for 85 minutes putting in every ounce of effort we had, it would’ve been easy for the players to start feeling sorry for themselves. They didn’t.

A very proud gooner - and I would’ve been even if Kolorov’s free-kick went in at the end. The performance deserves more praise than the result. 1-0 to the mighty Arsenal flatters Man City greatly.

Fantastic performances all over the pitch. Arteta is so obviously our best long-range striker because he tends to middle every one he goes for. He should try it more often.

Wow, you're deluded.

Mancini.

For the most part, we were excellent. A few Song elaborations aside, we were solid, professional and, personified by Arteta, mature. In the past, we have made suicidal errors to hand the points to a team we have completely dominated.

Apart from the goal, Arteta controlled the middle and made up for some of Song's madness by keeping it simple and also driving forward when he had opportunity. Rosicky was constantly buzzing around and injecting pace into our game.

Defence was rarely troubled and Vermaelen made up for last week somewhat by giving one of his best performances this season. Szczesny, apart from a poor kick in the first half, completely commanded his area and took everything in the air.

RVP should have scored a few again, but at least he's getting the chances rather than being worn out, which you'd usually expect.

Ramsey needs a Bolton loan to sort it out.

Arsenal .

Arteta .

Refs .

Money .

Mancini's burial of Balotelli there was something to behold.
