If he keeps throwing himself on the ground like that it’s only a matter of time before he injures himself for a couple of months.

Dirty and reckless from Fernandinho. Fully left the ground and went in with 2 feet. Pretty scummy tackle

Yeah, nah. Defo made contact though, unlike what Neville said.

Did you actually see the replay?

Yes. Fernandinho left the ground and jumped in with 2 feet, which is dirty and reckless. Are you sure YOU've seen the replay?

They dive in the penalty box mostly, Wilshere dives all over the pitch. Nobody says anything because he’s English.

Turtyturd

He was on the ground that time before the tackle came in .

Yeah; I did see it. Dinho never touched him. Mind you, you were adamant that the City goal followed a foul by Kun, so I won't bother arguing the point with you.

He's been at it from the off today.

Is VAR being used here?

Yep, although hasn’t been so far.

He's at it every game which is ridiculous as he's a fantastic footballer.

blueser

Spot on from Bellamy. We've been poor so far today. 2 out of 5 performance.

That clip shows it was 100% a free, because Aguero looked at the player directly before nudging him in the back.

That said if it was given, it would be an extremely soft free, and Mustafi is a disgrace for even allowing it to be a possibility.

Looking at him doesn't mean it's a foul.

Looking at him just means he's aware he's there. He simply allowed Mustafi to back into him. It was the most miniscule of nudges. Barely worth mentioning.

Ah he nearly went in with two feet but pulled out and not before it was too late.

Wiltshire absolutely milked it and has been diving most of the half. The way that he is feigning bad injury isn’t nice to see. God forbid he does get a bad injury. No one will know whether he’s injured or not.

They didn't even mention at HT. Even Thierry Henry, who's as Arsenal as they come.

Oh absolutely. Goal was fine and a dive for a peno shout from Arsenal early on. Nothing to review. Even the Fernandinho second foul the ref got correct.

Well I’d say they reviewed the lead up to the goal, that’s why I was asking, they would have reviewed it and deemed it no foul.. wasn’t a foul for me either, but have seen them given

Where did I say he touched Wishere? or even that it was a foul? You really should read things properly before you reply.

You make a valid point. But there was no indication at the time that the incident was being reviwed. They did mention it later in the commentary that the VAR experts at Stockley Park (spelling?) were happy that there was no foul.

So you're saying there was a deliberate nudge?

And you should actually watch the game before making some of your comments. Do you still think Sergio fouled his man in the lead up to the goal.

Turtyturd

Arsenal will be lucky to finish with 11.

I think he nudged him in the back deliberately, and by the letter of the law, that is a foul, but I fully understand why it wasn't given as it was very soft.

blueser

Nearly Vinnie!

Fine. We'll have to agree to disagree.

Yeah as most of the time Var is working in the background and we don’t know what is being reviewed until they see something wrong and notify the Ref.. it’s actually showing the good side of VAR here

blueser

That's a blow, losing Dinho.

ERG89

Bernardo Silva first taste of Wembley despite scoring a goal there for Monaco

Quazzie

Let's say Fernandinho got sent off for the tackle on Wishere, and then VAR came back saying there was actually no contact, would he be allowed back on the field, or would that have to be reviewed before the red card was issued?

Just a hypothetical question by the way, I'm not stating he should've been sent off, just using it as an example.

blueser

Don't do that to me Claudio!

That's how you go down with a nudge in the back, Mustafi

blueser

GET THE FCUK IN!

Quazzie

Mustafi was left sitting on his hole, by Kompany, and Kompany didn't even know where the ball was.

Turtyturd

Get in. That’s that.

Berserker

Can't see Arsenal coming back from that.

wolfyboy555

Mustafi at fault again. Should never have been a corner

Quazzie

Martin Tyler wants Arsenal fans to feel sorry for a player who just scored because he has had a lot of injuries.

If injuries makes you deserve trophies, we'd have won this 10-0

blueser

Delighted for Vinnie. The BS he's been through with injuries this past two or three years; no one deserves a goal at Wembley more than him.

Urindanger

Fairytale stuff for Kompany.

ERG89

I'd say Arsenal fans are enjoying this more than Neville. Would be stop with the complaining.

blueser

YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Turtyturd

Brilliant.

Berserker

3-0. Interesting to see if Man City go for the jugular now or if they settle for this. The could hammer Arsenal here today if they wanted to.

Quazzie

It's ok, we've got Danny Welbeck coming on now.

The_Kew_Tour

Oh Arsenal that's pretty ****

Harry Palmr

And here comes Danny Wellbeck to save the day

Loafing Oaf

Neville: "Forget Arsenal, I'll come on to them in a minute, cos they're a disgrace!":p

callaway92

Give the director a raise!

Gary Neville ain't happy. :P

Harry Palmr

Hilarious assessment of Arsenal there

We owe them after the s/f last year. Go for the jugular.
