Man City Community Shield

[LaughingGooner]

usual moronic flip flopping gooners.

we are going to win the league cos we beat a half interested city in a mickey mouse meaningless game.

ffs. when will you people learn. the major issues still havent been addressed. until they are we wont chellenge.

sure we may lead the table a squirk of the fuxtures for a lengthy spell again but come squeaky bum time we wont be in the mix.

this result just convinces the clown in charge the squads good enough and gets the flip floppers off his back for afew months.


in isolation a nice result but city were beaten in preseason last year.

people have such short memories.

sanchez is a quality signing and chmabers could be, but realistically we are 1 first team starter better than last year..sanchez...we still have giroud leading the line and flaminin and arteta as the dm.

until a quality dm is signed and a back cb and if we are being properly realistic, a better striker than giroud and sanogo we aint going to be troubling the big boys.

i cant take omfort from this result as i know as well as all of you deep down it will mean we do not address the DM or CB issues

FFS, you lot won't give up lol
We're about to embark on a season with so much attacking potential and you come out with all this negative shit.
I'm going to enjoy the season whatever happens and I'm not going to burst into tears if we lose again in a big league game.
Have a day off and trot along to try and enjoy life a little more.

so much attacking potential? you mean the same as last year, 2 french donkeys plus a good player in sanchez, plus walcott who could well have lost his main (only) asset.

sorry but a dose of realism is needed. we need another cb which wont be signed based on aw's latest comments about the woeful monreal and a dm wont be coming.

you may be happy with no prospect of challenging for the league, enjoying your sky sports diet of bourgeois fashionable football, modern arsenal, im not, given we are sitting on a fuck of 'warchest' unspent mostly yet with glaring deficiencies remaining. the trouble with the modern arsenal is it has attracted fans who dont care about competing. oh for a bit of gg realism, tough football but success, till he lingered too long as the current incumbent is.

[nut flush gooner]

Just got back from the game, what an embarrassment city are. We had our allocation restricted again only to see thousands of empty seats in their upper tier. If the game had been played at old trafford we still would have taken 30,000 up there even if the tickets went to red members. And yet they claim to be a big club?

The footy itself wasn't anything to get too carried away about it was a friendly after all. But we should feel encouraged that we have bought real quality in Sanchez who despite playing out wide did actually track back (Podolski take note), Ramsey carried on from last season and Jack had a good run out. I am expecting Jack to do a Ramsey this season and step up a level. Chambers aside of a few shaky moments looks solid at the back.

For the first time in years despite what the whingers say on here, we have a squad good enough to challenge for the title.

Best bit of the game was all the lower tier doing the posnan and mocking city's pathetic support.

Is Ramsey not an attacking player? What about Joel Campbell? I can't take some gooners seriously with the utter bollocks they talk on here.

look forward to your comments in may.

if we dont sign a dm and cb we wont challenge***. and challenging means going to the wire. it doesnt mean leading the league august-march

i just dont get some people on here. had we lost today the attitude would be completely different. one victory in a meaningless game against disinterested oppo means that people are now ignoring the deficiencies that they themselves have been banging on about that will undermine us...

plus the akbs come out in force clutching at any straw they can.

if we sign a quality dm i will be, as will most whingers, fairly confident of competing. if we signed a proper goalscorer and back up cb too i would be confident of having agood chance of the league.

we need a CB and DM and a back up left back instead of monreal would be welcome, why not just sign daley blind who can fill all 3?

***edit should say if we dont sign a dm and to lesser extent CB

My comments in May are irrelevant and I am not an AKB, as far as I am concerned if we didn't win the the FA cup last season wenger should have been fired.

But the fact that I don't want him sacked now doesn't make me an AKB, it is still possible to support the manager in his position but disagree with some of the things he does. I look at the bigger picture generally.

We challenged for the title last season, in the end getting thumped at city, pool and everton was pretty much the difference between fourth and a higher finish. This season we have more options, need to keep our players fit at key times and a bit of luck.

Not sure which part of this you don't get, its quite simple really. Generally most of the teams in the prem have weaknesses in certain positions even city. Wenger might buy a DM, that would most definitely put us in contention. I saw many positives today, what a shame you didn't.

So you honestly don't think we're making progress?!?!??
It's our best squad since 2004;
Ramsay, Walcott, carzola, BFG, Kos, Gibbs, Sanchez, ozil, Ox, Wilshire...

Sure wengers got his weaknesses ie tactics, but am I fuck going to head into the season feeling all negative.
Fucking enjoy the ride . Would hate to have your mindset.
I was there under oneill and Howe when we were utter shite.

in isolation a nice result but city were beaten in preseason last year.

people have such short memories.

sanchez is a quality signing and chmabers could be, but realistically we are 1 first team starter better than last year..sanchez...we still have giroud leading the line and flaminin and arteta as the dm.

until a quality dm is signed and a back cb and if we are being properly realistic, a better striker than giroud and sanogo we aint going to be troubling the big boys.

i cant take omfort from this result as i know as well as all of you deep down it will mean we do not address the DM or CB issues

You couldn't make this stuff up....

but is more ''attacking potential" really what this squad needs more of?

Sanchez is world class and I'm glad he's here but do you really deny that we need CB cover and a strong ball-winning DM? Are you really happy with another year of Arteta and Flamer in that role?

Do you really think that if we don't add in these areas that we'll win the league? What was the problem last year? was it attacking, scoring goals or was it on the back end?

how many smaller, playmakers do we need in comparison to DM and CB?

great strike from Giroud but we both know it's not his typical self, I'm not totally down on him, he plays his role overall well, holds ball up, good header but I feel we need cover at CF as well.

do you really think Sonogo will improve? if so, what specifically makes you think he will?

calling people sp**s fans b/c you don't agree with them instead of using reason and logic is childish and immature.

this game was bigger than a typical friendly but it was still an exhibition. Which team fielded a line up closer to full strength?

please answer the actual questions.
