Bournemouth A Sat 19th Oct KO 1730

[General]

Five minutes into the game I said we’d be the masters of our own downfall here and so it’s proved.

The brain dead Trossard pass that led to the red card, the shocking Martinelli miss and all rounded off by the shit back pass by Kiwior.

In amongst it Raya tried to gift them a few goals and not one player stood out up to be counted. Shocking performance.

Re - Trossard, it was the same carelessness in possession that led to Partey’s yellow against City just before half time. From there onwards, we lost control and he eventually got his marching orders.

[Natural Born Gooner]

Not sure why we're playing about with it at the back like were 3 nil up

[Linighans there!!]

City have really sucked the fun out of their league with their ill-gotten domination. It used to be that a team could mess up half a dozen times and still be in with a chance. Now you can maybe afford perhaps two awful result and that’s it you need perfection from then on.

Billions in corruption helps a bit too.

Still 11 v 11, they are CLEARLY superior to anyone else

[madjens]

Self sabotage FC strikes for the third time this season already. Roll on next season

[augie]

Lads you have to just not get so invested anymore.

They are a bunch of overpaid prick who don't have to answer for any of their shite performances.

Once you make the break you'll be fine.

And blaming the opposition or referee's or sky or whoever is just deflecting - it shouldnt go unmentioned that we had zero shots on goal in entire first half

The more I look at rice the more I wonder if he is a big game big team player - last season he was found wanting in the run in when he was needed, and this season he has been no better than average.

People say that none of our players showed up tonight but I disagree - I think Calafiori stood up and gave his all throughout

Of all the Prem Games Played Today and Ooooh! What a Coincidence Webb the Head of PGMOL decides to Attend our game and Just Happens ToBe Texting 'someone' with a message the Exact time the ref is reviewing a contentious decision.

Excellent point. In any other sport, officials involved in the game in any way are banned from using mobile devices or any devices that can access calls or the Internet because they can either directly influence the game or be involved in gambling. Why the head of the referees association needs to be making a phone call, sending a message or using an earpiece at that exact moments is suspicious to say the very least. If that happened in cricket or tennis or whatever, they'd be an investigation and a suspension whilst match-fixing is investigated. It's further evidence that match-fixing and outside influence is at play in the game and exists at the very top of the decision-making. Hope the cûnt gets it this week, absolutely gets it. Fucking corrupt piece of shit.

Makes you wonder where they got the money to assemble that squad from.

Trying to be optimistic, Chelsea will likely get something off Liverpool tomorrow. While City will win so they’ll be 3 ahead with 30 games left to play. Meh. We need to sort out the Martinelli problem though. He’s far too wasteful.

[rodders999]

Rice looks completely burned out. He fell off a cliff at the back end of last season after Southgate played him for the full 90 minutes in 2 meaningless friendlies then played all the way to the final in the euros before going straight back into the new season with us.

Any common sense and he’d sit out a couple of these meaningless nations legaue shit games but instead he’s playing all 90 minutes of every game. Insanity.

There'll be an Arsenal supporting lip reader all over that tonight. Suspicious as fuck and he's clearly involved. Shifty little look up to see if he's being seen telling the officials to send him off. Wave of the hand to subconsciously illustrate his point during the conversation. Someone needs to end this cûnt's career tonight.

[cameron326]

I don’t have a problem with VAR in principle but I’d far prefer it stuck to correcting awful decisions. You can argue Saliba would have been lucky to stay on the pitch but the ref should have been perfectly entitled to award a yellow for that as there was also a clear interpretation where it’s a yellow. Intervening was ridiculous and then they make a rod for their own back when it then doesn’t intervene over the next 60-40 type decision.

[rodders999]

Agree with those that said city have sucked the life out of the league. They never lose after Christmas, in fact they normally win the last 16/17 games on the bounce to cruise home.

They don’t look vulnerable this season so far and the worry is if they make it to January unscathed they’ll bury the rest and go unbeaten.

Only way they're not winning it is if the Premier League fix it for the dippers. That's what may well happen. They know that the net is closing in on them and Cheaty's cheating and they can't have them winning it again. Next best thing for them until they cam get their barcode headchopping, gay hating Saudi mates to win it, is the dippers and the media love-in that involves.

See how quickly the Sky cameras cut away the moment they realised what was going on. Someone in charge knows and saw that happening with him or another one in previous games and was waiting for it to happen again. Reminds me of the South African camera man and TV director who'd spotted the Australians with the sandpaper in the previous test match and were waiting for it to happen again so they could expose it.

If/when we fall short, anyone but City winning it again after we came close twice in a row would be a fucking nightmare. And I reckon it would be the beginning of the end for the top players in our team in terms of their Arsenal career. Early doors in the season but a pretty worrying performance tonight.
