Jurassic park

Wenger was a sincere, intelligent man. Everything about Arteta feels like he's studied it in a book about How To Be A Winner. Unless I'm wrong, he simply wasn't like this as a player. It's so performative.

I think you've nailed it there, it all just seems to be a bit of a sham.
It's all an act.

Cant believe city haven't scored the chances they've had. Not a fan but I hope they beat RM. Good game though.

What's the Bayern game like?

Bayern Arsenal has been a pretty fascinating cat and mouse very tight tense game until Kimmich rocketed in a header

Carrick leaving was disastrous. It set the club back years imo. He was that good in CM.

Oh sorry I thought they meant impact on the teams they joined.

 

[dvdhopeful]

Hard to think who had the bigger impact

• Walker to City
• Modric to Madrid
• Bale to Madrid
• Berbatov to Utd
• Carrick to Utd

Thanks for reminding me about all that....

 

[Spursberg]

Hilarious if City AND Arsenal go out tonight.

I want City through or you can say bye to the CL spot

 

[luRRka]

Both teams cancelling each other out, neither team are over-committing players so no clear chances

Till Bayern score after a great move

Arsenal, although getting forward quite often, consistently have 9 men back as soon as Bayern attack

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Hilarious if City AND Arsenal go out tonight.

Can forget the fifth-place nonsense, too.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Great header. No one is saving that.

 

[Cochise]

Arsenal going out is delightful. City going out would be a great result for football.

 

[philll]

Oh, Leroy.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Bullet header

 

[SlotBadger]

Sané is tripe in front of goal this season. Even Michael Antonio is laughing at him.

 

[Marty]

I want City through or you can say bye to the CL spot

Don't care, the hilarity will be worth it.

 

[midoshairband]

just an observation, but Tomiyasu is bloody hopeless.

 

[Buggsy61]

Come on Bayern, grind these aholes into the dirt.

The only bit I’d change is Arteta feels less an act and more of a parody, the unfortunate bit is he doesn’t even realise he comes across as one.

1,000%!!!

Wenger was occasionally a bit of a moody old man but for the most part I never really had a problem with him as you say perfectly he was a sincere intelligent man, Arteta is so contrived it makes my skin crawl, he wasn’t like this as a player at all but as a manager he makes me want to vomit. He’s now also getting Saka and others to dive a lot which is disgraceful.

Jorginho going to be booked yet?

 

[McFlash]

Carrick leaving was disastrous. It set the club back years imo. He was that good in CM.

And yet half of our fans in here never saw what he provided to the team.
It was also criminal how he was ignored by England managers because they were too busy trying to cram Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes into one midfield, instead of picking players that could work together.
