That Cunha goal is a sensational hit. My favourite from this lot.

Stop fleecing fans at every stage of the "customer" journey and this type of thing would stop. Football went from the people's game to trying to bleed the people dry.

Gyokeres had zero touches of the ball after coming on to provide an extra goal threat. That made me crack up.

Without the ability. Terry is / was a massive bellend but he was actually genuinely a top tier player. This guy is more like Joe Hart. Performative "leadership" nonsense for the cameras with half decent talent. Even Hart has trophies to lean on. This guy has two free kicks against Real Madrid.

I didn't think it was a particularly good game. Neither side had an abundance of quality. Both would be considered very poor champions. That said, at least City have Cherki & Haaland as stand-out attacking performers in the PL. You wouldn't choose any of Arsenal's attackers in a team of the season.

The thing is, City are massive cheats & their players are pumped full of juice but Arteta played a rapist for a season, & Arsenal sacked their kitman for supporting Palestinians' right to live. There was the Ozil controversy as well. Also, nothing City achieves actually counts. Easy choice really.

That's a fucking disgrace. Maguire would be walking and a three match ban would follow. Martinez would be launched as well. Can't mess up someone's pretty hair bobble but you can rip their shirt off them and then try to headbutt them.

How's Gabriel not got a red card for that?! Casemiro would be banned from football for life.

Genuinely think Gabriel and Saliba are massively overrated. They look good because the team plays super defensive and those two rarely come up against top tier forward players through the middle.

They're back on cycle.

Oh look. The ref has called a free kick at a corner. Maybe they could do that more often.

Who's this Mosquera geezer? He's shite.

Someone shut Gary Neville up. Fucking hell he does prattle on.

What a goal that is. I wonder how much City paid in hidden payments and bribes for Cherki? Also, I wonder how much his "medical team" are responsible for his upped athleticism this season.

Says a lot that Arteta has gone with Havertz over Gyokeres today.

Updated list of transfer targets in line with "PL proven" strategy who are gettable with reasonable fees (I think): Anderson, Gibbs-White Verbruggen, Van Hecke, Baleba, Welbeck Branthwaite, Ndiaye Kayode, Schade, Thiago Joao Gomes Wharton, Mitchell, Munoz Van de Ven Senesi, Scott, Kroupi Jr Hall

I know the goal was ruled out but Ndiaye is another player we should be keeping an eye on. He is quality. Gives us something different off the left as well. In line with our transfer strategy (PL proven) and he's 26 so coming into his best years. He could give us those years.

How has Van Dijk not been booked there? Oaf.

The usual "inconsistency" from these crap refs. They have to come out and admit they're either incompetent or they're corrupt / have an agenda. They can't claim it's a mistake with the shadow of VAR looming.

By the way, Romeo Lavia stood on Bruno last night and VAR did nothing. Bruno even complained to the ref. Zero consequences. No replay shown on tv either. But if you mess with someone's hair bobble you're going to get sent off.

Bruno Fernandes is phenomenal.

Probably my favorite Garnacho performance in years. I didn't think it was possible but he's gone backwards since he left us.

Mainoo looked excellent tonight. He's added some really effective physicality to his game. If he continues to evolve his game, he's going to be an absolute monster.

Imagine Cole palmer going to the barbers and asking for a Blackadder season 1

Get in!

I thought we were done with Zirkzee?

They're gagging to give something to Chelsea. Why did that take so long to check? Clearly not a penalty. You could see that after one replay. VAR is pathetic. Get rid of it.

Infuriating how many times we've had the ball around their box and then passed it all the way back to the CBs / GK before one of them pumps it long.

Ref is really inconsistent with his calls. Always something with these refs.

Kayode should be on our radar for right back. He's mint and only 21 yrs old.

When this happens I assume one of four things: 1) He's incredibly stupid 2) He's been bought off 3) He's a nonce 4) Any combination of the above

Of course they did. Let me say it again; FIFA is corrupt.

Boycott the World Cup.

Fergie also admired Moyes.

I actually can't get my head around how this Arsenal team have progressed so far in the CL and could actually win the PL. Look at the attacking quality in the Bayern / Real game. Not a single Arsenal player gets in ahead of Olise, Gnabry, Diaz, Kane, Musiala, Guler, Mbappe, Vini Jr, Bellingham.

This game is insane. Real Madrid in the CL knockouts is generally box office.

Is that a precedent set? One game ban for every player who swears at an official? I look forward to a game week where all 520 PL players are serving a ban.

Cross off Emery, Glasner & Iraola cos they have no experience in a club this size & Tuchel cos he's a football terrorist. And then you have Enrique who I don't think is gettable (but is everyone's 1st choice, right?), Nagelsmann who's a bit odd & Don Carlo. And, of course, Carrick. Who we thinking?

A grass and a massive wankstain. Elbowed his way through the game and then cried about his pretty hair bobble being removed. Dickhead.

Maguire becomes the first footballer to swear since Wayne Rooney invented naughty words 15 years ago. It just doesn't happen in any other matches, so you never see anyone else banned for it. I hope the amazing officials from that perfectly officiated match against Bournemouth aren't too traumatised.

Genuinely nothing will happen when the next player swears at a ref.

Hopefully Sporting can do something tonight but if they can't, I hope this lot absolutely batter Arsenal.

By the way, everyone talking about Martinez' red card & how it was a red because of the rules...well hair pulling is not specifically mentioned in the rules of the game. It's just because of "precedent" over interpretation of what "violent conduct" means. You're an idiot if you think that's violent.

All these huge companies at one point had a compelling offering which has become a complete farce as they try to squeeze more and more "growth" for shareholders. And then you realize that anything that was good was built on the backs of underpaid workers.

That said, the players who were left on the pitch did really well for the last 25-30 mins. Could have got that equaliser. The keeper made some good saves and they cleared one off the line as well. Obviously that's not enough but at least they can't be accused of not trying.

Deserved to lose that after the first 60 mins. Genuinely don't understand why Carrick waited so long to make subs tonight. Terrible decision making all round to be honest. He has to learn from these.

All Calvert-Lewin has done is foul all game and we’re the ones who got a red for brushing his hair

Dalot with his fucking shots. Just keep the ball you fucking ass.

But he's also a complete liability and needs to never start for us again.
