I don’t why our (Arsenal) fans are on here rubbishing City, we didn’t win. Yeah it’s a slight mental win for us because we came away with a point in the dying minutes, but overall it was just a great game between what I think are the 2 teams who will fight it out for the title this season. As for the Man City fans, Mancini is holding you back because of his style of play. He signs very big and physical defenders to suit his defensive/counter-attacking game and relies on individual players to break with speed and win it on their own. It worked first season because teams didn’t give them the respect and were willing to play them head on. This season you’re seeing teams not willing to come out and play and force Man City to open up trying to break em down which has really exposed how slow some of their players are. This is why they’ve been conceeding many goals this season. I can see City doing well in the Champions League because they can afford to play ugly and get a result. But in the league, with a Mancini, they’re at a stand-still and waiting for teams to come and take over… And believe me, teams are coming.

My god, your lot have become worryingly bitter in the last few years. Why not turn your anger back towards our neighbours who took away a player more important to you than any of those we took, the man being referred to as “Robbing van Pursestrings”. By the way City helped those “net profits” you bleat on and on about every year, maybe you can stick “net profit” on a trophy and hold it up on next week’s open-top bus parade to celebrate your draw with City.

Arsenal were the pioneers of buying success/progress before most of our grandfathers were born…

Sorry mate but Helan is not very good, a few friendlies/EDS games don’t make up for the fact he has no footballing brain of note and couldn’t make an impression on loan at Carlisle last season. We shouldn’t overhype our kids, only one winger in the entire youth setup at the moment (Henshall) has any potential to break through and he is quite inconsistent. Sinclair might not be perfect but he’s levels ahead of Helan.
