Not the game everyone thought it would be
But 4pts of Liverpool
4pts of City
I will take that
Enjoy the rest of Easter everyone.
{Ed014's Note - and you Bill and all still very much to play for!
31 Mar 2024 18:42:36
Totally agree Bill, how longs it been since we out pointed both City and Liverpool in the head to head clashes in the same season.
We've got our big boy pants well and truly back on, and looking damed handsome in them too ????.

Hey bill, John n ed14
A well deserved point, our back 5 are immense.
{Ed014's Note - evening Mal and totally agree.

Absolutely Mark mate, what a difference a year has made to our young team.
This Arsenal's performance was full of everything we needed but just didn't have to give last year away to City during the run in.
This is in no way meant as having a go at the boys of 22/23 they did us well proud ? it's meant as a compliment to young men of Arsenal 23/24.

The boys did really well, we could've won it, we were more dangerous with our chances, I think the last one if trossard passed to Martinelli it might have gone differently. But good pointe nonetheless.

Mal, where were you yesterday?
01 Apr 2024 10:28:13
Gutted I couldn't watch live yesterday but from MOTD it looked like we have claimed parking the bus as our own lol
Super proud of our boys!
{Ed025's Note - you didn,t miss much Sally, one of the worst games ever seen in the Premierships history mate...and im an Evertonian so thats saying something.. :)
01 Apr 2024 11:05:40
I thought it was a really mature performance from our team Sally and Ed025 mate, last we were caught between trying to stick to our natural attacking instincts and the need to respect City as the very formidable opponents they are and ended up getting done like kippers, this season everyone knew and stuck to the game plan both home and away and we came away with 4pth apposed to last seasons 0 points.
Personally I think we are extremely close to being able to be every bit as resilient and difficult to score past as we ever were under George and as flamboyant and exciting as we ever were under Arsene, and is that not everything we've been dreaming of for nearly years now?
{Ed025's Note - it was like a game of chess to me G62, lots of pointless passing and very few chances mate, it is of course a better point for the gunners but the losers here were the fans imo, 2 of the best 3 teams in the Premiership going head to head i was hoping for a blockbuster...but we got a damp squib, i have enjoyed watching the gooners this season and think you are a very good team, but lets not gloss over the fact that yesterday was absolutely dreadful as a spectacle..
01 Apr 2024 11:59:27
Hey sharpie, I went out for lunch and drinks off course and forgot my phone.
01 Apr 2024 12:06:12
Absolutely it was Ed025 mate, but us older fans endured many a game like this under George on the way to celebrating title wins, I can take the odd one or two games like this a season against the likes of City or Real if it means competing at the very top again mate. You young pups don't know your born ????.
{Ed025's Note - the draw was a good result for Arsenal G62, but it does put you playing catch up to Liverpool and i think that with a bit more positivity and belief that city were there for the taking mate, i still hope you win it though..
01 Apr 2024 14:49:27
There`s no other way to dress it up for the neutral it was awful - but for me the nerves were there for 90 mins and the only better result for us was a win at C£ty. Not many have done that in recent memory. Too much at stake and a draw keeps us within a Pool draw and a win for us to go top. Liverpool page full of how terrible it was but then again someone on their page ` Kevin De Bruyne Is He All That`. If we or C£ty win the league no-one will remember this game but we`ll treasure the point gained. If Pool win it then us and C£ty will regret not having a go. KDB is he all that COYG Long way to go and be prepared for the rollercoaster - loving the ride.

They certainly were there for the taking mate but anyone who underestimates Cities tried and every well tested ability rip you apart in seconds usually pays the price. Personally I think we got our game about right yesterday. Exciting or dull a point at City is a point gained rather than 2 points dropped no matter how good the visitors themselves are in my opinion mate ?.
{Ed025's Note - yeah the point was a good one G62, no doubt about that mate..
01 Apr 2024 17:07:24
Cheers Ed025 mate ? and I really do get how the game was a let a big down for the neutral viewers, I'd have been bored stiff if it was a Barcelona v Real Madrid game I was watching and would have definitely felt I could have spent 2 hours of mytime better by looking at cloud formations to see if I could predict the lottery jackpot numbers in them ????.
{Ed025's Note - nothing is guaranteed in football G62, yes style wise it was poor but i believe you went there for a draw and it got delivered so job done, we dont need any slip ups now though mate and i believe maybe 2 draws maximum could see you scrape home...good luck..
01 Apr 2024 18:11:51
I'm thinking we will probably need 25 of the 27 points available Ed025 mate as I'm not expecting to many slip ups from either of the other two two teams mate. Of course I want to win the title but if we get 90 points and its not enough then fair play, it would still be only the second time in our history we'd hit 90pts in a season and with a young side who's best days should be yet to come (fingers crossed ?) I'd have absolutely no complaints whatsoever mate.
{Ed025's Note - i think your about right mate..
