Yeh, I don’t want either of these teams to win the league.

That was the only time they properly wrnt in on goal, to try and score! Pep Guardiola has blighted British Football. So boring. Ideal in 100 degrees but not in chilly GB.

Thought City lacked patterns of play today.

This tactic, at the kick off, of one of the defenders stepping into the path of the forward chasing down the goalie, is obstruction and should be a free kick.

Time after time teams are caught out with gamesmanship in normal time which add minutes on to the added time.

I'm no great lover of Arsenal but i hate City with a passion. Felt like Arsenal deserved to win that with how well they defended in the second half.

City deserve nothing.
To watch them continuously passing the ball around the box and not taking any chances of a ball into the middle is pitiful, and boring.

Just as I speak.....
Isn't that what we did against them lot down the road? :roll:

I could not have been less surprised by Arsenal’s reaction to the equaliser. One of the very few teams I am happy to see City get off the hook against.

Simple explanation - there was a stoppage at the same time they announced the added time and City scored in added time.

Because of Arsenal's constant tarting about.

Thought Roy Keane was brilliant at the end Micah Richard’s raving about how magnificent Arsenal were with 10 men as though it had never happened before,Keane just scowled at him and reckoned it was nothing out of the ordinary 10 men getting a point and basically said it was City were crap.Its just typical of football pundits going over the top and bumming the game up as though it was 2 teams of gladiators.

The ref tried everything he could for City to win but unfortunately he was unsuccessful with his obvious bias.

If that was the case Arsenal's first goal wouldn't have stood.

It is, and it's why we didn't win, and didn't deserve to win.
To be fair City worked Raya a lot more than we worked bastards keeper, but none of the chances were great. 8 shots and an xg of 1.06.
