We've had "entertaining" managers in the past. The world loved us - but we won nothing.

However, you were extremely close to winning the PL, closest you have been. When you were entertaining under Keegan, it must have also pretty much been your best ever PL side?

Arsenal are falling apart in some style.

I get they've got injuries and the priority is the CL and league but they were shocking again. Arteta all over the place with his selections and subs. Having thought they'd get over the line I've got big concerns now. City are hitting top form just at the right moment, no chance Arsenal get anything at City in 2 weeks IMO.

I agree, but he is vilified when he doesn't pick Salah......

Is he ?
How many times has he left him out?

We’re playing with 10 men atm but he’s not the only one.

Just watched the game and we were well in it until the penalty, stupid from VVD.


But to blame VVD for the other goals is harsh imo.
There’s just no pressure on the ball when were retreating back.

Let’s give Haarland and City some credit they were excellent after they went ahead.

The only bright spot was Dowman, he looks something really special. Not seen anyone his age with that level of control, dribbling or vision for a long time.

Just read that two ex city academy players were in the Southampton team inc the goal scorer. Glad to see them Earning a living away from City. And doing the football World a Favour

Is he the 16 yr old. I asked bro in law who is an Arsenal fan. He was bloody livid and said there best player was a 16 yr old.

Well deserved first goal for Leeds. West Ham are letting them play

That's the one. I'm not one for hyping a young player but this kid looks different level and I wouldn't be surprised to see him start a lot of the league games going forward.

How’s that not a penalty?
Nowhere near the ball.

Just seen the tackle on the Leeds player - surely late and a red card ?!
