This performance (plus the weather) makes the blud run cold
Get ready everyone.
Let's hope soDid any of them even go though?
I'm sure Robbie won't have missed an opportunity like tonight. He'll be able to buy city soon the way things are goingDid any of them even go though?
Oh this is gonna be so good
Though to be honest I'm starting to feel really bad about them after all we suffer during the Moyes era.
I honestly think even the folks over at ArsenalFanTV won't really care about this match. It's Thursday, snowy, cold, few fans at the stadium, the players didn't look arsed, Wenger didn't look arsed, a dead 2nd half where nothing happened.
Surely that's even more worrying.
Losing 3-0 at home to a rival in an empty stadium and just shrugging your shoulders at it.
Apathy is worse than anger.
Arsenal are closer (25 points) to bottom place west brom them they are to man city (30 points) in what way are they rivals?

They're not rivals this year maybe but generally of course they are.
They aren’t though. City usually fight for the title and ended up top 4 if they failed. Arsenal’s whole season is centered around making top 4.
The only time in the last 6 years or so Arsenal finished above City was 15-16. In the same timeframe City have won 2 league titles and about to get their 3rd, compared to Arsenal’s 0. The likes of DT and Troopz may blow their top off thinking they are rivals but in actuality Arsenal nowadays are more rivals with Everton/Westham etc than the rest of the supposed ‘big 6’.
Zero since fergie leftHaven't Arsenal been as much a rival to City since Fergie left as us? How many times have we finished above Arsenal in those years? Thats a genuine question...

Precisely. We were a club in crisis for most of that time with half a billion of investment thrown in, and only started to look somewhat decent this season, so I wouldn't say we were a rival for City the last 4 years or so either. The difference now is that we are in a position now to compete while they are in freefall, so the next few years for them will be similar to our 14-17, except it could be even worse since the market has been FUBAR and they cant spend as much as we can to begin with.Haven't Arsenal been as much a rival to City since Fergie left as us?

The Welbeck bit made me laugh
Can't disagree with Claude here.
DT just called Wenger 'a dictator... Arsene Mugabe'.
