i'm officially active back for "Diaby Hate Club"...stupid dribbling when you don't know when to pass the ball...slow down the game, and lazy....

Diaby looks like Will Smith, but he ain't hero to us

Arsenal have curse where their former player scored against us in the 1st game.
Btw, Almunia is terribly positioning and Gallas & Vermae need to cope with the absence of quality DM thus concede 4 goals. Furthermore Arsenal play too many short pass & cross in the box. Why not just f***** shoot!

diaby looked better before his own goal in manu game. i guess that OG knocked the spirits off him. i still wonder why wenger doesnt start dudu vp bend, oh well the game is over. and i genuinely thought shav's boots were gonna be filled by ross.

from the replays it looks very much intentional as he stuck his foot towards the direction of RVP's face. im not buying the idea that he was balancing himself during the landing and getting his foot mixed up in RVP's face.

Don't think Ross is capable of playing long games though, he looks tired even though he played partially in the second half.

Hopefully he'll back to full fitness soon.

I admit that GK has to execute his job with zero mistake

The first goal was totally an accident - although there are arguments if Almunia would had reacted earlier to position himself better - as the header wasn't fast.

Adebayor's goals was defensive error - we were outnumbered - and I saw someone didn't track back

It was a shocking result with bad defending for sure. I'm looking forward to Wenger's comments regarding the game.

well...we lose....lets look at the weak link & take positive sides of the game...

their 3rd & 4th goals were due to our eagery to get forward and loss focus on defending plus counter attack from city were awesome....

for me the weak link in tonite games were bendtner,clichy,song & almunia....

bendnter = no contribution at all

clichy = commited on 50-50 challenge and losing the all occasionally...

song = didnt provide the quality of defensive midfielder in top level...

almunia = didnt rise to the occasion when the team really need him to perform....

positive sides, rosicky made a return with a goal & RVP opened his account this season with his right foot...

as for adebayor, u're now no 1 traitor of arsenal....u take over no 1 traitor from cashley cole...u'll never be remembered as arsenal hero...u won nothing yet....u'll get hostile treatment if u ever step into emirates ground again...

& finally u'll be watching us playing in champions league this season & frustratedly asking why i'm not playing champions league football.. becoz city is not a top 4 club & will never be the top 4 clubs....

chill guys...

^ lol even if you leave the player unnamed, "not tracking back" is sort of synonymous to one player in the team

the change that is most needed probably is GK. i still think we can do better than almunia.

Diaby was jogging back, we the ones that's in AC(Ryan, Sakaito, etc) were raging went we saw that in replay.

Ade intentionally stamped on Robin face. that was a disgrace, and if FA did not have anything to say about the incident i'll be very surprise. but then again, this is incident against Arsenal we are talking about, maybe i should prepare myself for the fact that nothing will be done about it

Average Al is just average. the thing when you being a goalkeeper for a top team like us, concentration must be 1 of your strong point because you will only be tested during the short period of the match overall. more so when you have a perfect central defender partnership in front of you. unfortunately for us, concentration is not 1 of Average Al strong point. the 1st Man City goal tonight and the Rooney penalty incident last 2 weeks were perfect example where his concentration let him down, big time.

Sorry, maybe Im bit bias or what, somehow I don't see vs MC as Big matches. The only reason why people classified it as big matches cause we wanted to see how AdeBongok(nice one from one of the fans here) lose and eat back his words and MC spends lots! bt too bad, AdeBongok become AdeBodoh

I thought the Club never die? I never a Diaby fans before. But I was Gallas fans. Even during the time he was stripped off the captaincy
Perhaps can make the case like Dudu case? Banned Ade for 2 matches? He could easily broke V.Persie skull with that challenge

Arsenal look like AC Milan but with younger squad.

for those who mad at Abou for jogging back during their 2nd goal, the real culprit was our captain

Cesc misplaced his pass to Gael, and then casually jogged back along with Abou towards the penalty area and leaving Alex Song alone to face the attack

We'll agree to disagree then.

Cheers.

Seriously, I didn't notice who was the one didn't track back - that's why I didn't name anyone just now

- btw, I am not one of Diaby Hate Club.... yet

Yup, Diaby was jogging back. Yes, Adebayor goals was defensive error, yet he could have reacted abit faster to the goal, he completely rooted and by the time the ball pass him only he reacted. Concentration problem.

Manchester City Arsenal
Shots (on Goal) 10(5) 23(7)
Corner Kicks 3 12

Looking at the facts from soccernet. MC 5 goals shoot on target and they got 4 out of it, and we? States doesnt lie.

"Two weeks after dominating at Old Trafford, yet finishing on the losing side against Manchester United, Arsene Wenger experienced similar emotions on the blue half of the city after a staggering contest where for long periods, they appeared the most likely winner."

Well said by soccernet!

That's weird lol, we didn't play that well today compared to the previous United game. The only thing that I saw is that we're urgent in attack once we're a goal down.

ealier in the game i thought van persie is fasting haha thats why he always felt off the pitch

anybody know what van persie shouting right after scoring the first goal? i think its f**k
