Hopefully last week was a one off and Micky is back on form this week.

I predicted earlier than normal last week as I was on a stag do. I heard we were losing when I was moments from jumping in the sea. Quite apt.

Blimey I know it was a bad performance but surely not that bad.

 

[Longcliffe]

Let's go smash them!!!! 1-0.

 

[Rock Fox]

I hope we win

 

[Lako42]

Ill take and 8-0 win beforehand

Vardy and Mahrez both to score and a programme vendor knocking back Wenger's offer is £1.50.

I believe we've only beaten Arsenal once in the league (Ian Ormondroyd inspired) since I started supporting City over 30 years ago.

I've seen us beat Arsenal 3 times...in 40 years.

& one of those was in my 2nd season.

The last time was the one you mentioned (22 years ago)

I get depressed every time I see them coming up as our next game.It's about time that stopped.

If our ref follows the example currently being set by Mike Dean, we will concede a penalty on every single corner that Arsenal get

Could lose this ten nil

It's about time it was clamped down on - both nailed on penalties. Hopefully Huth has watched the game...

The second one was no penalty in any universe.

Never

Only in Mike Dean's head

This season will be a farce if they all follow suit. Absolutely ridiculous

Definite penalty.
Impeding an opponent is an offence.
From the laws of the game: "Impeding the progress of an opponent means moving into the path of the opponent to obstruct, block, slow down or force a change of direction by an opponent when the ball is not within playing distance of either player."

Trying to impede a player without any focus on trying to play the ball at all?

About time things like that are stamped out the game. I usually hate Mike Dean but I thought he showed a lot of bottle today to apply the new "clampdown".

Hey don't let the laws of the game get in the way of a good debate.

Last season was a farce with the amount players got away with.

Players will soon stop wrestling each other at corners if they're given. You can clearly see the difference the two penalties made to every corner thereafter in the Stoke game.

However it will only work if there's consistency across all games.
