Despite being frustrated, I’ve learnt through the years of “suffering” to find some positives. There were actually many about this week, once I had a think.
- Away at
TopspurtsHotspurts, Atalanta, Man City in the space of a week and playing on Thursday in Italy…we’ve done pretty well. - All this with no Ødegaard (or Merino for that matter)
- We’ve definitely got in the heads of the blue side of Manchester. I def detect that their crowd knows how good we are. We are on their level, no doubt
- Defended superbly against The Best Team In The World™️ for 55 mins despite the shit interpretation of the laws of the game by the Howard Webb Referee Travelling Roadshow
- Califiori’s banging debut goal
- Timber and Califiori at fullback at the same time. Looked great.
- Trossard only misses the Bolton game, I think
There’s more, but I’ll leave it there. This is so much better than the dark, dark Mustafi days.

Does Trossard not miss the PL game? I mean it’s still just Leicester. Ngl I don’t remember how cross-tournament suspensions work.
7 minutes was bullshit in the first place, whole bunch of fergie time nonsense.
The set piece goal was glorious. The camera was actually tight on Gabriel before the kick, and it showed Walker messing with him, poking him in the ribs. And then it showed Gabriel feinting right, doing a swim move, and getting completely free of Walker before heading the ball in with authority.
What’s amazing is that that camera angle is exactly what you’d expect from a replay. But, in this case they strongly suspected who was going to be scoring, so they were showing him right from the start.
This feels like the City game of 2 years ago or so. In a dominant position, but the refs fuck us over with a controversial red card and we conceded late on.
Not to mention we got another controversial red card. Such bullshit yellows can’t be reviewed when they make such a difference in the context of the game.
Correct. It’s exactly the same, the only difference now is that our defense is resolute enough to hold them off, and also we were ahead today. But this has genuinely ruined my entire day. We’re never going to see any accountability because half the league’s fans will just gloat that we got fucked over. AGAIN.
On the plus side, at least Bukayo got a rest. Edit-I hope he’s not injured
