Matic getting his studs into someone's thigh and not getting a 2nd yellow was exciting.
Everyone was overselling the shit out of that 'tackle', he barely touched him.
Every time I watch Arsenal play, they use a different formation.
I'm predicting an absolute hammering for Arsenal. Fully prepped to turn off 20 minutes in.
Bloody Arsenal.
Arsenal are tragic thankfully.
lol welp
Good old Arsenal
City should still win this 5-1, but good to see Arsenal tried.
Bloody Arsenal!
@randomlegend I just feel like if you get studs into a thigh that's probably a yellow regardless of impact but what do I really know
Good to see Arsenal doing their patriotic duty here and I hope we'll follow suit next weekend.
Into 5th with a grinding performance. Good result considering we were pretty lax throughout.
Benfica 3-1 up away at Sporting as well. Young lad João Felix looks a talent.

Ince is seething that he wasn't given the job.
I can't imagine Paul Ince being taken seriously in any dressing room. Even the MoTD one. He just has an awful voice.
Yeah, in descending order.I have managed in the Premier League and all four English professional divisions
He's such a knob.
Oh Mane Mane.
That's a joke of a decision from the Lino.
I feel/fear that VAR is/was needed a few seasons ago.
Declan Rice is a knob.
I've got £5 on West Ham to win and £5 on Felipe Anderson to score.
If Liverpool throw the league again it will be absolutely glorious.
Good to see us starting the bottlejob early in order to avoid hopes being properly raised.
If any form of defending from set-pieces could happen, that'd be great.
That lino has had a stroke.
Shaqiri to grab the winner.
If we don’t win tonight I think the title is going back to City come the end of the season.
First of all, they already have the title. And, err, whoever does get it usually does so at the end of the season.
So.
Klopp hasn't got the metal. How badly did Bayern bottle it the year he won das bundesliga?
Liverpool and their lol decisions going their way.
The bottle job is fully underway.
He won it twice, once he was ahead at the winter break, the other he was behind.
It wont matter though, I think this has been Citys title since Stones stopped the ball crossing the line.
If those fuckwads had only beaten Newcastle.
The thing is, at this point - with CL kicking off again soon - it feels like all the top City players have had about half the games that the Liverpool ones have.
Keita riles me up. How many men did he beat in that last 15 minutes. Looked bobbins for the first hour. I wonder if Firmino dropping deep is ruining his career.
I like to think we did our patriotic duty out there.
You sure did. I hope our boys are using their clear midweek for a five day bender. Sarri brings the fags, Alonso drives the bus, I want them absolutely bladdered right up until Sunday.
Hazard is up to his old tricks again. Incoming press conferance announcing another press conferance where he reveals all.

Fucking state.
There's no way around it. He looks like a clown.
How have I only just discovered that Richard Keys has a blog? Most of it has a definite whiff of this, but his latest entry, defending Graeme Souness being all confused at that woman complicating matters, contains what must be one of the all-time great asides:
It isn’t about 4-2-3-1’s. 4-4-2’s. 4-3-3’s. 4-1-2-3’s. My goodness, listening to today’s modern co-comms makes my head hurt. Within 3 minutes of a game starting they’re explaining game plans, telling us what’s going wrong - who’s ‘isolated’ and why. It’s nonsense. I’m forever grateful that I live and work in a part of the world where I can enjoy listening to the excellent Andy Townsend and Jim Beglin. They’re both quality - keeping things simple.
Before I go on, let’s get all the abuse out of the way from the keyboard cowards - who aren’t going to like much else in this column. ‘W****r’. ‘Sexist’. ‘Hairy prick’. ‘Adulterer’. And ‘disgraced’ - that one is especially for my friends at the Daily Mail. There we are. Done. Now maybe we can have a sensible debate.
That’s the thing about football - it inspires debate. We all have an opinion. We’re all allowed to have an opinion. There’s nothing better than listening to a ‘debate’ about football - or in my case - steering one. I’m so lucky that I’ve done it for an awful long time now.
Okay mate.
Brent would have cleared off for the Sand Nazi dollar as well, I bet.
It's genuinely mystifying to me why those places don't get the same rep as Saudi Arabia. Golf shat its moral pants about playing in Saudi last week, but their tour is literally named after Dubai.
They all make enough noises about reform to make people feel better about it.
I've never been to Saudi but I was in Abu Dhabi last month and it felt like any other "normal" modern city. Women walking around shopping, kids fucking about etc. I'm sure it's not great for some women living there, but from what I observed, it looked pretty relaxed.
Edit: to clarify, that doesn't excuse the shit that goes on there, just that they manage to paint a public appearance.
