Amazing if true. Hope he hits like Costa. Pep is getting all his wishes with Thiago, Benatia, Kimmich, Costa, Vidal and Kingsley. This squad on paper is already phenomenal and if Dante leaves to Wolfsburg we might pull the clause for Laporte. Pep just made the transition for this team in less than 60 days. I hope he stays here a couple of years longer and Klopp silently joins City or Wolfsburg.

Laporte would be nice


but 50m???

maaaaan.

why not

do it rummenigge

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

De Bruyne having a medical, spotted at Manchester Airport. Fee is expected to be about £54m / 1.1 Sterlings.

 

[Lashley]

Who's place with KDB take?

City should win the title easily this year

Theo and Ox start vs Toon. Very optimistic.

 

[El Topo]

Another European coming to the UK to get a job? Don't tell the migration thread over at OT.

That swimwear model and bucktooth I imagine.

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

17 minutes in and Mitrovic has been sent off lol

 

[moojito]

Ouch, toon down to 10 men after 15 minutes. Maybe they can all line up on the goal mouth and force a draw.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Potentially two reds and a penalty for Newcastle in only 17 minutes. They've looked awful. We'll probably draw.

 

[Lashley]

This will be fun.

Mitrovic is a fucking moron.

We've started well, could be a 4-0 winner this

 

[Lashley]

Money well spent Toon

heartbreaking as a chelsea fan, i was gutted when he left and to see him returning like this is even worse.
congratulations city, absolute bargain at that price.

 

[King_Moc]

Fuck knows what Newcastle are trying here. They'll all get sent off at this rate.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

How old is Thauvin? His face looks about 15.

 

[Lashley]

FFS Theo

bring Giroud on

 

[Lunar FC]

Great hit by Alexi, terrible put back for walcott goodness.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Theo proving himself to be the finisher we all know him to be.

I love the guy, but commentators and pundits who go on about his finishing prowess or champion him getting more games up front over Giroud seem like they don't actually watch anything but his highlights. For some reason, the goals he does score are usually confident and tidy finishes, so he looks fantastic if that's all you see, but he misses about a dozen simple ones for every one of those.

 

[GluedOnBeard]

Arsenal fans should be ashamed of their players making a meal of the slightest touch. Coquelin being the main offender, Mitrovic should 'not' have been sent off, yellow at most as it was not malicious and the ref was just trying to balance out not giving a pen. Useless.

Yellow "at most"? As in you feel less than a yellow would have been appropriate?

 

[GluedOnBeard]

Should have still been yellow as it was badly timed, but no way a red card. If the Arsenal payers weren't acting like little kids maybe the ref would have thought twice.

That said the ref has got everything else spot on though, the challenge by Mbemba was the most deserving of the yellow as it was 100% intended as a foul.

lol what

he stamped on his leg ffs

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

I have no confidence in any of these players scoring today.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

Funny, most commentators across the net are saying it was never a red card offence. I guess Arsenal players/fans really don't like a physical match after all.

The ref is protecting the hell out of them.

He was staring right at his leg when he did it. He knew exactly what he was doing. It's a 100% straight red.

 

[moojito]

Damn, Newcastle doing well to get to half time level. Probably lucky they're playing the cold version of Arsenal.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Arsenal: The only team in the league whose players don't appreciate having their shins stood on by an opposing player after winning the ball. Shameful, really.

Really? It's all well and good for them to complain to the ref afterwards but do they really need the dramatics and acting like they have been hurt more than they have?

Not sure what to say to some of the other comments above, everyone is entitled to their view of course so if you want football to become a non contact spot then you're right.

End of the day if it wasn't Mitrovic who did that it was a yellow card.

Also BT Sport need to get less biased commentators towards one team, awful commentary.

You're acting like it was a shoulder barge. He stamped on his leg.

what?

They've commentated on the game, it's not their fault we've dominated. They've even said Newcastle could score with the rare attacks they get, which is true.

Oh, and he stamped on his leg whilst the ball was nowhere near. Mitrovic is a dirty cunt, he was sent off for being a dirty cunt.

Yeah, look at how all the Arsenal players disgracefully continue rushing after the ball and backing away from the scene of the foul in an obvious attempt to get Mitrovic sent off.

If you think Coquelin's reaction to that sort of contact is a complete embellishment, I don't know what to tell you. I admit I've not personally had someone trod on my shin with their cleats, but I imagine it hurts whether it was 'malicious' or not.

 

[GluedOnBeard]

One of the guys is okay on BT Sport but one other guy is clearly rooting for Arsenal, you can hear it in the comments he makes. Not being very objective.

Anyway if you say it is a stamp and was a red then as I said fair enough, a lot of people seem to be split on their opinions over it from what I have been reading and most agree if the player wasn't Mitrovic he wouldn't have walked.

@Bubble Coquelin was the tackle from Thauvin that wasn't that bad and he made a meal of it?

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Robbie Savage loves winding up certain fans.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

"Is that a yellow card?" Carzola doing the exact same foul that Anita had done 5 minutes before, which Savage agreed was a yellow card haha. He's got that TalkSport gift of knowing what to say to get people to react.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Ox has looked like he's no clue what he's doing out there so far this game.

Edit: I will not apologize.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Own Goal Arsenal's top goal scorer?

 

[EmiPrime]

It was Cazorla's first foul while Anita had done a few already. Cazorla should not have been booked.

wat

 

[Mr. Luchador]

As far as I can see that was Anita's first foul.

 

[Lashley]

Theo should've been subbed off earlier tbh

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Giroud must be trolling Arsenal fans at this point.

 

[norinrad]

How the hell is Giroud even a striker?

 

[GHG]

If there was ever a game to prove we need a new striker, this is it.

Even Welbeck would look better than the dross we are having to put up with upfront at the moment.

 

[Lashley]

At least our back four have been brilliant

 

[Mr. Luchador]

haha yeah Brilliant against that 0 forward Newcastle are playing

 

[norinrad]

Arsenal seems to have the same problem as united, solid back and midfield but lack good strikers.

 

[papercan55]

wat

to me that's a good price.
Give him a chance, support him and look how well he plays. It's a lot of money but in my opinion if your going to pay that kind of money for anyone then debruyne is a good bet.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

haha that Coquelin has been playing that ref like a fiddle all day.

 

[Portugeezer]

AHAHAHA GIROUD AHAAHA

 

[Lashley]

3 points is 3 points, I'll take it. Would've liked more goals but at least we've won. Krul was fantastic.

haha yeah Brilliant against that 0 forward Newcastle are playing

They've still troubled our back four even with the red card. Might say more about us than them, but whatever.

 

[Patriots7]

Awful game, but we won I guess.
