VAR is getting off to a great start, isn’t it?
Only because the idiotic commentators and fans won't let it. The exasperation of the commentators is reaching comedic levels and the booing from the fans is simply pathetic. I've only seen the game from immediately before the penalty decision, but I thought the VAR got everything right.
This is an absolutely bonkers match! 😳
I don't recall ever seeing such an empty dead stadium for a premier league stadium.
I know right? Weird. Absolutely no reason for it to be like that.
Edit: Arsenlol.
This is a rout, city goals have been quality.
surely enough enough now, surely wengers position is untenable
ArsenalTV going to be a corker tonight.
there is no shame these days in being beaten by this city side
That said Arsenal have been like this for years so its the other results not this once.
As a friend said today - after i said no one had destroyed Wengers legacy more than wenger- " the only people upset by Wenger leaving will be Spurs fans"
Its such a same - I think this is the fourth season I have said this.
To be fair to arsenal, it is just those moments of sheer quality that separate them.
Discuss- Ederson, the best goalkeeper in the league?
He isn't the best shot stopper so if that's all you want from a goalkeeper then no he isn't. But he has got to be quickest off the line to close down balls behind the defence, is commanding in collecting crosses and corners, and makes passes that half the outfield players in the league would be proud of.
...and pretty decent at saving penalty's.
Has an arsenal player actually put a tackle in during this game? Maybe they should give it a go?
Ozil is having one of those games where he looks like he’d rather be having his finger nails pulled out than be on the pitch. None of the rest of them look particularly interested either
the best goalkeeper in the league?
He isn’t the best shot stopper
That will be no then Best Libero keeper possibly but best keeper no.
It was a bit of a ballsy move, but I think wearing roller-skates has really backfired on Danny Welbeck.
Luckily the prized spot in the Europa League 3rd Qualifying round could still be available for Arsenal despite last weekend's result. Unless Burnley catch them.
They'll probably win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League....so Arsene can continue to trouser his £200k per week.
Indeed. After all, Bayern won't be there to fluke their way past Arsenal this time around.
I was there! Jeez it was cold too! Fortunately I wasn't expecting much and was right....we were just inept, but Citeh just purr. Ive said all season that Sane is a wonderful player, but seeing him up close, he's so bloody quick, as they all are. We looked like Cart Horses in comparison.
Surely Le Prof will go at the end of the season, even he must now see its over!

They've AC Milan next, so doubt it. Although AC Milan are hardly flying either, really is the battle of the slightly failing big clubs.
Beating AC Milan? Off the back of desperately trying to rescue a point at Brighton?
😂
Winning the Europa is increasingly looking like Arsenal's only shot at European football. Burnley are only five points behind and in better form as it stands.
Arsenal fans are pretty ambivalent about our form currently, as we’ve realised that only by losing everything badly are we going to get rid of the senile French ****t!
What a brilliant result for Brighton ....
Hope it will mean that they will now stay up for another season!
Great result for Brighton. That first 40 minutes we played really well. Just got to keep it going and get the points needed for safety. Pleased for Dunk too, as he’s played so well for us this season and it’s about time he scored one at the right end 😀
Dunk - fair play to him - was funny and philosophical about him upping his score for the season to -3 😂
Brighton thoroughly deserved the win. Arsenal are absolutey awful. All over the shop! I’d reserve special criticism for Ozil, who’s biggest contribution to the game was throwing his fanny gloves away. Here’s an idea.... why not show up for a game for a change!
As a United fan I just find pretty depressing. I think the pinnacle of the Premiership era was the Class of 92 and Wengers Invincibles.
Watching City comfortably cruise past Chelski without breaking a sweat I think they’re in the same league as those two squads.
What's the betting that Ozil signed his new arsenal contract because he didn't get the offers he thought he would.
Maybe gambling on a new manager being in place next season? Not much of a gamble, mind.
Great week for City. If it is any comfort to Arsenal at least you tried to attack for a while on Thursday and were not as spineless as Chelsea were today.
I think Conte will have lost his senior players after that performance. Hazard is a great player and has often troubled us as has Fabregas (who I wold not classify as great). They would not have been happy at be told to play that way.
Think the league is in the bag. It would be nice to wrap it up against United when they visit The Etihad in April.

Nah, He thought Europe's elite would come knocking with big offers, but they have all looked at how he drifts in and out of form and his workrate over the past few years, and decided no. So he has been left without options.
Given that Palace are one up against the mighty but now uninspiring Man U at half time, there's a distinct possibility of the default Hodgkinson tactic of protecting the slender lead. It'll be an enthralling second half with both teams camped in their own 18yard boxes. 😉
Man U struggling against the Eagles so far, with Sanchez and Pogba looking particularly inept!
Tee hee!
Do united realise they are in the premier league? The St Cuthberts retirement home walking football ladies B team look would be quicker and more mobile than that.
It is incredible where they are in the league with the performances they put in, I think luck is papering over the cracks.
Absolutely ****ing woeful!! Arsenal aren’t the only squad with overpaid bone idle bastards wandering about like they can’t really be bothered. I’m looking at you Pogba, Lukaku and Sanchez.
Trying to bloody walk it in and absolutely aimless balls punted forward to no-one in particular
utter shite!
I think luck is papering over the cracks.
That and De Gae
Are your lot doing everything possible to avoid us winning the league at the derby?
Ah bollocks! Unlucky Palace!
I've struck it lucky! Bet on Palace before kick-off at 7/1, cashed out at 2-0 then immediately stuck the same on Man-U to win, literally a minute before their first goal.
Relatively small amounts, but the sense of achievement is strong!
Some strike to win it! Sanchez isn't exactly proving to be good value yet is he? One goal in eight I think and that was a rebound from his own missed penalty.
Credit to manyoo for the comeback but pretty poor for long periods of the match.
Real yardstick will be against the scouse reds on Saturday - if you are lucky you could close the gap to 13 points 😉
strange game - deserved to be behind then sort of dominated in an inevitable yet unconvincing manner - sterner opposition would have held that lead.
Some of that team play like its rugby amble forward a bit turn round pass backward. We dont have one player who can run with the ball and its so easy to organise against us. Relentless pressure cracked a weak team but it wont be enough to do in the big teams
Still quite an unadventurous team and Jose has taken word class players pogba and sanchez and turned them into mediocre , at best, ball losers.
City and miles ahead of us - the league is not lying.
I was just saying while watching that pretty toothless display of us trying to pass it into the net, that what we're sadly lacking is someone like Schohles who'll just put their ****ing laces through it from 25-30 yards out! Then Matic goes and does precisely that! More of that please. 😀
Watching City on Sunday its not just the skills, its the fact that they all put a serious shift in! Thats the main reason they're so far clear of us. There are quite a few United players who are just jogging about aimlessly. Lakaku can't half shift for a big bloke. Not that you'd know it by how often he actually makes a run. Or any of the rest of them for that matter. Its so easy to defend against.
It doesn't bode well for the weekend. I suspect that on present form Saturdays game against the scousers will be another woeful Jose bus-parking exercise, in which case I doubt it'll even be worth watching. It's got 'last game on MOTD' written a over it!
Just sat down to watch Milan v The Gunners.....I must be a masochist!
Good ‘eavens...we just scored!
Good ‘eavens...we just scored again! WTF is going on, I don’t recognise my own team.
No sobbing so far!
Everyone ready for the United Liverpool match? I’m sure it’ll be a belter! 😂
