As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

who said we played badly in the first half?we done em like a kipper,let them have the ball and hit them on the break,it worked perfectly,for all citys possession they offered feck all,Wenger does tactics again and again it works,wow shock!!!great to see Ozil finally enjoying being a gooner and playing with a smile on his face and in the form of his life,he is Bergkamp re-born

We were pushed off the ball so many times and lost so many 50-50s it was embarrassing. I think City lost it rather than we won it but a win is a win. Ozil was excellent, Theo played well as did the back 4.
We will be top by next week.
Some truths a some half truths there.
We should have been long out of sight before City managed to muster a proper chance in that second half. All their bit of possession counted for fuck all, as they never really threatened, till Wenger decided to really give them a shot at a come back by taking off the best player on the pitch and thus allowing the 2nd best player, Yaya, to come to life.
Also, they were utter brutes from the get go and should have had every single one of their outfield players booked for practicing kung fu on us.
Ok so we where outplayed for the first half, but we didn't lose. Isn't that a reflection on City's inability to capitalise on their domination of a large part of the game?
Always good to see negative spin from Gooners, it's almost habitual.
Remember City are our main rivals for the title this season, forget Leicester who will fade. Given this we really have it in our own hands to actually cross the line 1st this season. If we fuck this up fine have a moan, have a pop at Wenger but ffs don't fucking whinge after we just turned over another PL contender.

Don't tell me you are one of those people that leaves the ground early and thus missed City's painful late injury time leveler?

No, I thought I must have missed a new rule about away goals counting double under any circumstances!

Look! A mod. An actual mod.
Thought you had all fucked off............
just coz you don't always see the mods, it doesn't mean they aren't about, working away and making sure things run to plan!! The similarities with Santa's elfs is more than just a lack of height.

If only!! We'd have an extra few points if that was the case. Put that rule in place, long with extra points for Artistic Merit and no one would be able to bloody stop us!!
I'm relieved we won. It wouldn't be Casburton-era Arsenal without us conceding a late goal and crapping ourselves until the end. All of the goals were great, to be fair. Although I have never rated Joe Hart, so the fact he's the undisputed England goalkeeper is just another guarantee that England will never succeed.
Citeh are the only big side we can beat and that is only when we bother to 'do tactics'. We've opened up a nice gap, now we just need Leicester to fuck off

the only stat that counts is the goals for and against
