Man City vs Arsenal - BT Sport 12:30

Kane and Ronaldo start for City.

LOT OF STUFF ROUND CITY THIS WEEK,could have been a  bit much for everyone at city,just the tutmult of it-draining,will needs the guners to step up of course,might be tighter then most think.....its guessing i know.......

Man City -1g 2.22 massive price , goalfest inbound

tumult* ffff my typing

Can't see a goal fest. Arteta will want to keep things tight at the back.

yes but what arteta wants and what he gets may not be the same thing

Expect the apprentice to be slayed by the
MASTER

1.37 IS a bit mean
Wait for a Arse goal
Maybe

Under 2.5 @2.22 looks a good bet

yes it is a bit mean, not backing that, wait to see what happens for a bit i think, though gib maybe onto something with the -1. 20 mins to make up my mind..

f it, i've done the -1 (or -1.5 it is on the asians). only 2.16 now but i think it could easily be 2 or 3-0

Arsenal are crap, but i have a funny feeling that they will score, maybe even score first. So, holding off on backing City, see what happens.

1-0 !!!

so much for that theory.

what was that about 'tight at the back'?

taint over heed this haha,what a kick in the hooligans

Feel that's a bit harsh really. Was a peach of a cross and header. Guess maybe Chambers should have been a bit quicker to step backwards to read the cross's height.

Macca 'nothing to do with personnel.... everything to do with wanting it more than someone else'

It's beginning to look like Arsenal just don't have the players to be tight at the back.

2-0

om ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Okay now that was comical defending.

Chambers and Holding are both 6ft+ but hopeless at defending aerial balls. Jota did the same to them last season

Did you see that arsenal defender go down like he had been shot.  I am amazed at the these big very fit highly paid men being so weak.  Poor lamb

Can't see Arsenal getting anything but a good hiding today.

Bernanrdo Silva is so good in that position. United especially need a ball carrier like that.

Are they that bad? Or are they just trying to get rid of Arteta? I know that Aubamayang and Lacazette are not having him, but maybe the defenders and midfielders are just even worse than I thought.

ste mac gets right up my ffff hooter

Chambers and Holding were two cheap wenger defenders. never good enough to win an arsenal shirt. should be gone 3 years ago.

*wear

Some of the worst defending ever seen in the Premier League.

Holding was signed for £5m from Bolton after they finished bottom of the Championship.

In fairness there hasn't been any defensive organisation at Arsenal since Campbell and Keown. Wenger didn't do any. Another myth that Arteta has improved the defence. He's just used 8-11 men to protect a weak, unorganised defence. Why he isn't doing this against Chelsea and City this season is strange because they are normally the games where he parks the bus.

Arsenal's defence has been in sad decline since Tony Adams retired. Remember 1-0 to the Arse?

rED CARD
granit

Arsenal fans leaving after 30 mins

That was a really stupid two footed jump in!!!

What a liability Shoka. In a team of muppets, he still takes the biscuit.

tony fff adams he was on the ark fh

They just gave xhaka a new contract. The owners announced it first in the middle of a statement to the fans. The club confirmed it on facebook but not on twitter or instagram.

3-0

lovely from Grealish

this is  fraggle fff rock

Chambers - i've seen milk turn quicker

international week cant come quick enough for Arsenal

what did Arteta do after the sending off ?......nothing

Ian Wright impressed with the progress under Mikel Arteta
Ed Davison | November 2, 2020 | Arsenal, Arsenal News, Blog, Blog News, Interviews, Other News | No Comments

Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright seems thoroughly impressed with Arsenal’s performance under Mikel Arteta, especially against the top teams.

Arsenal used to struggle against the big six but the Spaniard has transformed the team’s mentality in the big games since his arrival.
Wright claims that the organisation, culture and intensity at Arsenal is different under Arteta and Arsenal are now heading into a different era.

This is ageing well!

blind loyaly

Ian Wright said Arteta would win the league with the Man Utd squad at some point I think too.

the organisation, culture and intensity at Arsenal is different under Arteta

can say that again...

One of the worst cheerleaders in punditry. And that's not a high bar. Money for old rope for these muppets.

Rewenger the days when arsenal were good.

is he on MOTD tonight ?

Never look a gift horse ................

4-0

Arse nearly
BOTTOM

naughty finish

Ian Wright regularly models new Arsenal merch for the club. He won't bite the hand that feeds him. When he criticises it is really 0 times worse than he says.

10

Looks as if the dressing room is lost and there are major issues on the training ground. That is a good thing. Easily the worst team in the league atm

how many games does he get to turn it round?

Can' blame him for takng the free money, I suppose. But pundits on tv and radio are of such a poor standard, I really don't get why they are paid so much. The BBC certainly shouldn't be shelling out so much of our money on these cliche merchants. Not to mention all the howing off and clowning about by the likes of Michah Richards.

* showing off

thought I'd missed something for a minute, Des

Arsenal 18/1 to get relegated

Grealish doing well

Arsenal in real trouble, they look so bad its tragic

I suspect they'll sack Arteta and hit a new manager bounce though

Mid table

The media have been spouting absolute nonsense about Arteta from day 1. Not one of these pundits had worked with him before. Telling us stuff like he can speak 5 languages and can speak to his players in their native tongue and the opposition can't understand him, so it's a big advantage for arsenal etc

Neville called him a talented young manager only last week. No basis for this. The worst Arsenal manager ever and worst in the league.

a walk in the park to feed the for city,have a row on the lake,get done for flashing

fee the ducks* ffs

lurka

Utterly clueless

But Sky are hiring youtubers now so don't expect to hear any actual knowledge on tactics etc, its all platitudes and soundbites

Looks like Spurs fans hopes of a full season for Arteta are dead in the water.

The Arsenal fans have got what they wished for. Wenger went in 2018 the downhill slide to mediocracy has not taken long.

Think that 5th goal might have just about killed off Arsenal's chances now.

Bottom of the
EPL

Wenger was a busted flush long before he went.

This is just a continuation.

Arteta clueless , only a matter of time for him to go

Wenger is one of the best managers in history.

Yes, he was for a time but he fell away towards the end.

Fergie?

That's exactly why the time was overdue for Wenger to move on.

Problem is, the squad was full of carp for the next manager to inherit.

Arsenal have signed mostly average players since Arsene left.

Wenger inherited an strong defence, soon as they all went. Wenger struggled

Brentford comedy gold

Arsenal the biggest net spenders in Europe this summer and it appears they're going backwards.  How long more will the Arsenal hierarchy give pound shop Pep to implement his long-term game plan?

Arteta: (before the 1st goal) "we were in control of the game". Not sure if that is deluded, or just plain dishonest, tbh.

He reminds me of Chemical Ali in the first Gulf War.

He's had a reputation in the past of being an honest guy, but he's just telling porkies now. Looks more like a fraud every week.
