Arsenal v City - 4pm

He has returned.

You can see Szcezesny doesn't have the ball in his hands yet though and if Dzeko wasn't being held back he could have already hit it at that moment.

Wilshere has taken such a beating today.

Who's returned?

Bet its gunna end 2 - 3.

What does Podolski have to do to get a full 90?

If he wasn't being pulled back, he could have swung his foot and connected from where he was stood.

Be a good player for starters

He's our best attacker by a distance.

That's pretty good.

Tevez should have done better there, took way too long. Sagna did well to put him off though.

Doesn't make him much better does it though? These lot are all clowns but Podolski can't even dribble

Game still over, kompany brilliant tackle unjust red card again

Ouch

Now there's what you call an undeserved red.

Now, that was a harsh red.

His dribbling isn't that bad and for someone who is clearly a striker, it's alright. Wenger should just fucking give him the full 90 minutes at centre forward for once.

I can see why the ref did it, it was one footed, but he second foot hooked under his own foot, then came up after he'd made the tackle and made it look two footed.

I think we should appeal that one though.

Yet Wenger wastes him on the LW game after game.

But he's not really a striker is he? he doesn't have a poachers intelligence and when he started banging in goals he played behind the striker. He can't play with his back to the goal either

That wasn't a red, it looked two footed but if he left his other foot out dangling that would of been worse. Mike Dean's just a fucking cunt, it's something like 1 win in 19 games with him as a ref at Arsenal

Think an appeal on that one will be 50/50 tbh, take a lot for the FA to repeal a ban.

Did you see his goal against Swansea last week?

And he gets into good positions, even from the flank. I think he'd do well in a central position but maybe I'm wrong.

Wilshere has been fantastic, non stop running all game.

Mertesacker's reaction to Barry's foul.

Balotelli's hair

Balotelli looks like Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man.

Fuck yeah, keep that clean sheet

That was the first good pass Ramsey's played in a year and a half.
