Indeed, it does, Bruv! You and me can now sit back with our popcorn and see what calamity awaits the Gunners and the Chavs. Regarding the Chavs, if they win they will be doing us a massive favour, since it will mean that we'll end the weekend on equal points with United. But if they lose to United, they'll sink deeper into our shadow. Such a delicious position to be in for a couple of expert piss-takers such as you and me, Bruv! Regarding the Gunners... well, I see nothing but a whole load of butt-hurt for them, I'm sorry to say. Pixie, over on their Match Day thread, has said that City v Arsenal is "set up perfectly for Lacazette" (and that is a direct quote), and Wenger goes and puts Lacazette on the bench! **** ups like that, whilst made in comedy-gold heaven, do not bode well for the Gunners. I hope they manage to salvage something of their dignity, today, Bruv. I really do.
"Alexis Sanchez knows he's in the shop window today. He's already strutting his stuff and wanting to put on a good performance. I'm sure many of these City fans wouldn't mind having him in a light blue shirt sometime soon." (Dion Dublin, BBC Football Live commentary) Ouch! That will make painful reading for our resident Gooners.
"Where would Alexis Sanchez even fit into the City team? A nice problem to have. The hosts are dominant now, up to 67% of possession." (BBC Football Live) I'm thinking "bench," yeah?
Arsenal limp in at half-time being only the one goal down. Wenger will be happy with that. However, one does suspect that there's a rigid dry humping coming in the second half.
"It's the worst possible start to the half for Arsenal, who were furious at that penalty decision." (BBC Football Live commentary) It's going to be fantastic listening to Wenger going ape-**** over that, in the post-match interview!
Arukaino: 2-0. Football 2.0. Wenger and his team look lost in Pep's land of beautiful attacking football. (Tweet to BBC Football Live) Pixie and those Gooner boys (or what's left of them) will be fuming at that comment.
City 2 v 1 Arsenal (LuckyZette, 65 mins) **** me! Arsenal manage to score a goal!!! The Gunners regain a smidgeon of pride. Will it last, though?
"I'm not sure anyone ever was saying Arsenal had title hopes this season but they will be 12 points behind City after this one. They do stay above Burnley on goal difference though." (BBC Football Live commentary) Superb wummery!
