***Treble Winners v Arse CS Official Match Thread***

[Nick]

Fuck off kalvin piss8ng himself with orange white.

Doesn't have the attitude for city. Get rid.

[Vantage]

Did Arsenal just win the Champions League? They are going mental. The stats don’t lie winning the Charity Shield is not a good omen!

[KinkyKinkladze]

Ah well. Probably for the best. Should put some fire in the belly for the next few weeks.

Please play foden in the David Silva role this year pep.

[Beefymcfc]

Fuckin hell. What’s more embarrassing - this commentator going on about Arsenal not going away easily or the Arsenal player’s celebration?

I thought that statement was a bit embarrassing but Arsenal, who have won fuck all for years, and are lucky to actually be here, shouldn’t be slated for winning a friendly. They would have factored this game in to their schedule, like Dippers did last season, and were only in it because of a change of rules that allowed them to score in Fergie time.

[zabbadabbado]

Fucking funny watching Arsenal over do it with the Celebrating like they have just won the European Cup in Istanbul.

Small minded Bottle Jobs.

[Outcast]

Akanji should not be a starter. We've missed Ake

Couldn't done much different there. The ball was first deflected via Alvarez onto Kanji, he didn't have a second to react. If anything Alvarez should've closed Trossard down better.

He nearly cost us UCL final. Just an average player playing in a great side. I don't get all this loving for him. Saka had a field day

[Beefymcfc]

No Haaland for the penalties didn’t help. Arsenal lucky but there we are. Best thing was Kevin getting half an hour.

For us it was about minutes in the legs.

Like you say, only there because we won the cup and league.

[Beefymcfc]

Fucking hell, they’ve been working hard on penalty shoot-outs. I think we must’ve spent a minute picking the takers.

[sheblue]

Couldn't give a flying fuck actually losing like that might not be a bad thing at all, fire them up a bit for Friday.
PLEASE PLAY FODEN.

He mentioned no side won the league after winning the charity shield since 2011 when we're winning. He's just jinxed them the melt

This 100%

Watching them celebrate was cringe.

I suppose it is our fault the others have to celebrate Charity Shield and Carabao Ciup wins. like they mean something.

Going to be interesting watching these Bent referees implementing the new rules at their own discretion.Just like they did with VAR.

I can see it now Every Rag/Bindipper/Arse game given 8 - 15 minutes injury time if they are losing 1-0.

[Mase]

What was the reason for the added time?

[blues2win]

A ruthless approach to time wasting added 8 minutes. Then there was a 5 minute delay owing to the clash of heads between Walker and Partey.

Me neither, I think he is a massive liability. Instanbul was a big indicator.

[s1ty m]

Liverpool did the same OTT celebration last season...slightly embarrassing. Arsenal were two games ahead of us in terms of preseason, and yet they needed comedy luck and penalties. Last season, City were horribly under-cooked against Liverpool and yet were about to win the game before the VAR team decided to determine the outcome, incredibly.

I thought Stones and Rodri were magnificent. I do not rate the goalkeeper at all and Akanji remains my main concern in an otherwise great side. He would be exposed horribly in a lesser side.

[johnny crossan]

should have done the official thread

He’s either steady and solid or a total fuck up. Said it before the match. There’s no consistency with him.

The Palmer goal was straight out of the Mahrez textbook

What was the reason for the added time?

Just noticed Sunderland is 13 minutes added on. Is this normal now? Are we turning into the NFL ffs?!
