As I recall didn't you do something similar last season against Tottenham in a cup game. I guess it's ok for you lot to do it, anyone else it's obviously a foul.

Raya impressed me by the way he collapsed as if he needed open-heart surgery only to get to his feet and launch a goal kick 80 yards up the pitch.

City celebrated that draw at home like they've just escaped 130 charges

Imagine that a team celebrating a draw at the Emptyhad, the audacity.

Standing is now impeding? If your keeper could dive as well as Rodri you might have won...

Imagine a team thinking they've won the league when they're 8 points clear.

Only a few seasons ago this is the kind of thing that would’ve happened to the Arsenal keeper, and people would’ve said ‘he needs to be stronger there…’ and made if part of Arsenal’s mental fragility.

Nice to see this is now City’s problem.

Their players seem really rattled.

City rarely concede from corners, it won't be looked on as a problem.

Calling it "Emptyhad" and "plastics" and then accusing City fans of invading and swelling the pitch like no other team, after winning.

City so happy with the draw that after the goal, with time left to play, Haaland threw the ball away instead of trying to get the game going again. What a pathetic attitude, delighted with a point against 10 men at home

Modern medicine maybe?

Tbf I never like to see it really. Anywhere else on the pitch it’s blocking a player off.

These are the tactics Pulis’ Stoke sides got such a bad reputation for.

Will be when Gabriel powers home another one in the return game.

Depends if an Arsenal player crops Rodri first.

Karma for Ederson fouling Odegaard and us not getting a penalty.

Also weak from Ederson and the Man City defence to allow Martinelli to stand near Ederson, which is all he did, if Ederson wishes to run into Martinelli's back and fall over that's up to him, not a foul though.

Already laughed enough at how blind you are, will spare you the embarrassment for a second time

Oh and Rodri is a cheat and it's not our fault if he wants to fall over an injure himself.

Will book you in at Specsavers tomorrow morning

To be fair, hats off to Arteta.

Parking two buses for nearly an hour on the pitch for free is genius level tactics in the vain hope of holding a 2-1 lead. They then bottled it again in classical fashion.

Arsenal somehow managed to take a point from the Etihad (which is a good achievement) but have the home side feel like the Victor.

They could have beaten us easily last season, and today. Tactical bus parking naïvety was Arteta's downfall.

The good thing for City fans is they won't have to worry about their inability to beat Arsenal for much longer. It will be Needham Market, Leamington and Rushall Olympic for them next season.

115 charges for FFP...

How many more will there be in the future when the corruption scandals come out?

I wonder if they'll even be allowed to play in the Northern Premier League.

So happy to see Arsenal fans have stopped blubbing.

Blame this; blame that; blame Saturn is in juxtaposition to Uranus, but never blame the bus parking.
