As a new fan, why is everyone congratulating Man City? Do they have an easier schedule coming up or is this just an Arsenal self depreciating thing?
Yes.

They have been dominating the premier league for half a decade now.

They are the Bayern of the PL.

Farmers league. That's why la Liga>>:lolbron:

not yet.

the covid years don't count. all clubs apart from oil money clubs were affected by that.

if they win this year then ok .. "temporary domination" :hubie: (but lesser domination than man utd, real, bayern and even pool back in the 80's)

so arsenal know what they have to do ...

The Arsenal
Konate went on foul duty

Odegaard is who frustrated me yesterday
i'm drawing a blank on any positive contribution from the captain. partey was on his own in the midfield.

saka was shyt, but at least he was recovering from an illness. he should have been on the bench though, it's not like trossard was unavailable to start.

i remember something now, there was a nice pass from ode to martinelli a few mins before his subbing, it was sweet. the fact that it wasn't one of many moments and probably the only moment is a testament to his poor play.

being chased by city is skressful.

To defend Saka a bit more, when he had the ball, he looked dangerous. Ben White didn't help him much this game.
