Arsenal fans going full on blurry photo conspiracy theories on that first goal. Love to see it.
It’s intentional you knowrefs totally screwing arsenal again just like every single match
god bless ya for being incredibly on brandIf I had a nickel for every time the ball was most likely out against us but was given as a goal because VAR couldn’t see it properly, I would have two nickels which isn’t much but it’s weird it’s happened twice
Well, keep in mind that Man City should be getting KDB back very soon. They should have had him for the majority of the season to date but Pep stupidly played him in their first match and he re-aggravated an injury that cost him half the season. Which is just another reason why I don't think Pep belongs to be spoken about like the top club managers of all-time.All of the teams at the top seem very flawed this year. It’s fun
If I could change one thing, it would be to stop the players from surrounding the ref. American sports don't have this problem (Tim Duncan got ejected from a game for laughing on the bench). We all know coaches and players do work the refs, but its just absurd that bunch of players act like 5 year olds in a grocery store, screaming at their parent to buy them candy.Want a penalty? Just surround the referee til he points to the spot.
100% agree on this.Well, keep in mind that Man City should be getting KDB back very soon.

He's been at 3 clubs. Barcelona (with the greatest club side ever, I don't even think there is a debate), Bayern Munich - where he didn't win in Europe, and Manchester City with untold billions of legal and illegal funds at their disposal to get deals done. And Pep only just won his first CL with them last season.
I just don't think he is in the same echelon of the game as some of the greats like SAF, Michels, Shankly, Ancelotti, Sacchi, Trapattoni, Busby, Lippi, Clough... All these guys built up numerous clubs to have success that they hadn't seen before ever or at least in many, many years.
Pep seems more in line with the 2nd echelon for me with the likes of Paisley, Wenger, Mourinho, Capello, Stein, LvG, del Bosque, Hiddink, Nicholson, Dalglish, Lobanovskyi
