I saw a City fan online explaining that Arsenal “bottled it” in a 2–2 draw at Sunderland, but City somehow didn’t — despite getting a 0-0 draw at the stadium of light. When someone pointed out that Arsenal actually scored, led the game, and only dropped points to a last‑minute goal, while City couldn’t score at all, he still insisted only Arsenal bottled it. At that point it wasn’t an argument anymore — it was a full‑blown loyalty test to the badge.

We know you hate Arsenal but lets not be too silly mate

It takes seasons, not half a season, to be able to even put any club squad in a conversation about best clubs "EVER". I don't actually hate Arsenal fwiw, i hate Spurs (one of your other teams, only person in the world EVER to support Arsenal and Spurs). Arsenal have won nothing with this squad yet. One likely PL title doesn't constitute to - "one of the best squads ever". If you were to suggest Henry, Viera, Campbell etc were part of one the best squads ever then i'd agree, but wait a couple of seasons first, and that's assuming they actually win trophies, which of course they've not done in years.

And fyi, i would prefer to see Arsenal win the title over City this season. So don't give me all that "you hate Arsenal" sh!te. It's bloody ridiculous to suggest they have one of the best squads ever atm, they've proven nothing, we're half a season in. Yes, they're doing great, but City, Liverpool, Utd and dogsh!t Chelsea have been a joke this season, as BOTS mentioned earlier. Arsenal couldn't even beat rubbish Chelsea.

I go way back with Spurs.


How can you not love a team who fielded Hoddle , Waddle , Gazza and Ginola !?!


4 of the most naturally gifted players to every play the beautiful game

I get the point — you can’t call any team “one of the best ever” halfway through a season, and Arsenal still need trophies to back this squad up. No argument there.

But it’s also fair to say this group has huge potential, and they’re performing well in a season where a lot of big clubs have been inconsistent. They’re not an all‑time great team yet — just a young side heading in the right direction.

Can I just reiterate that my initial claim regarding Arsenal was that they possibly have the best squads ever ( for a club team )

I never suggested that they were the best team ever or that they played the best footy ever !!


You can have an amazing squad and be pants .. look at Liverpool this season

They had a brilliant squad then added half a billion of amazing players and ….

Couldn't agree more with that, things are certainly looking very good for Arsenal atm. If you could get a 18-25 goals a season forward, you'd be terrifying tbh.

Amorim had brought discipline back to the team. They sack him, and on Carrick's first game, the team line up is leaked early

[Zizu]

[Zizu]

Rico Lewis is a defensive liability inho


Remember that dreadful losing spell City had a while back … he played in every defeat .


That said Marc Guéhi makes a fair amount of careless mistakes soooo

[Zizu]

Harry Maguire ffs

[Zizu]

Manc all look nervous- this is a great chance for ManU to get good result today

[Zizu]

United can bring on Cunha , Sesko and Mount

City have Reijnders and Cherki

[Zizu]

30 minutes in

ManU the better team and had better chances thus far

[Livia]

West Ham is playing today, a Saturday, at 3pm. How sad that that's unusual now.

[Zizu]

I fcuking hate VAR disallowing so many offside goals - we’re talking millimetres that time

[Zizu]

ManU need to make some changes

Mainoo , Casemiro, Dalot , Mbeumo all looking very tired

[Zizu]

Gianluigi Donnarumma having another amazing game


Why did only ManC go in for him ??

He doesn’t even suit their style of building up from the back

[Zizu]

1:0 to ManU !!

Can they hold onto it

Ugarte will help when he comes on .. hopefully

[bots]

Man U doing arsenal a big favour. What is happening to the world

[Zizu]

This is a big 20 minutes for Arsenal

You beat me to it .. I paused a while

[Zizu]

Cherki and Cunha are two great flair players

[bots]

2-0

[Zizu]

Whooohoo

Arsenal could go 9 points clear tonight if MabU can somehow hold firm

Casimiro is blowing out of his backside at the moment - get him off
