Wasn't able to watch the game, which given late winner was probably good. My old heart would have given up had I watched it live. Just saw the score late last night and read the forum. Great win and so good to finally beat those bastards!

Will have to wait to watch the game until I am back home and can catch up via Peacock's replay, but from reading the comments and seeing the other games we seem to have progressed defensively this season. We are harder to create chances against. Limiting City to 1 shot on goal and 4 shots total and nothing from Haaland probably says it all. Saliba and Gabrie really seem to have had him in their pocket and Rice was great as always it seems. Cannot wait to see the game on reply when I get home! Fantastic win!!!

PS. @albakos - Congratulations on being at the game and seeing us getting that long awaited win against them!

I was pretty impressed by the Partey, Tomi and Havertz sub. All at once, 3 units enter the pitch for Zinchenko, Jorginho and Eddie. We can be a nightmare team physically for opponents when we want to be.

On the tube to the game we were talking to some City supporters, they weren’t very confident at all. People started giving them stick saying “You’re Manchester City FFS” but it turns out reservations of playing without Rodri were well founded.

Good to know they're not all boastful, rude, uneducated pieces of dirt. The ones I saw yesterday would mostly have embarrassed Neanderthals.

I hope we never see those nerves evident in the first 20 minutes again. The team deserves to be confident after a mature performance like that.

Martinelli scores against Manchester City and Emirates Stadium erupts!

So happy we've finally beat them in the PL. Felt like we always went up against them with the expectation we'd lose. Last season a win against them would've probably seen us raise the trophy. Hope this season is finally the moment.

Extra happy because there is really nothing positive going on at my other club.

Come on Arsenal !!!

My voice is still sore, but the memories, emotions and all the thrill of watching this win live at The Emirates will be unforgettable.

 

[PsychoSid]

Sore throat this morning after that game, but no sore head due to having to drive from the south coast because of engineering works on the trains.

So glad we are putting these "bogey" records to bed. Goodison, City. Long may it continue.

 

[HollandGooner]

Arteta was spot on with the way we played yesterday, and defensivly we didnt gave them anything.
And yes people can say they were without Rodri and De Bruyne blabla but we didnt had Saka or a fully fit Martinelli and Partey. we should just receive the credits for beating them.

 

[HollandGooner]

Keep crying about Rodri and KDB being out. We never started with Saka, Martinelli and Partey. All three would've started, if fit enough to do so.

You know? those experts can **** off we were missing players to.

Last player off the pitch was Zinny who made a dog and pony show of going to every stand and lapping up the applause from the crowd.

He got no applause from me though

embarrassing the reactions prior to the game with all the saka not in the squad. ****ing clowns on here thinking we are a one man team, We go a bit of luck today but more then we deserved after that game against them at home a few seasons back. they got lucky that day with several decisions,

Hope this can be the confidence boost to win the title . we are good enough

I can’t lie I am normally quite optimistic but after I saw Saka not in the squad even my head dropped. So glad I was proven wrong.

We really have done a great job in squad building. Major credit all round to Edu and Arteta. Even the Kroenkes for hiring the right footballing brains and just letting them do their thing.

What a bunch of whiny fake little b*tches. Look at that "aggression" I can feel the estrogen leaking through the screen ffs

 

[The_Playmaker]

Not going to lie. I was very pessimistic pre game. Not necessarily due to Sakas absence, but a combination of how we have been playing. The errors, lack of creativity and the lack of composure have overshadowed a different approach in our style. The shift in change has geared towards this. Restricting City to 4 shots in the entire match, no shots after the 58th minute? It's monumental.

When do City stop getting shots off after 58 minutes. This wasn't last ditch defending. Our structure stopped them from them from playing. Arteta got the selection and the subs spot on.

Ending the game with Partey rather than starting with him. Bringing Tomi on the left and Havertz as a target man. Masterclass.
