Now look, I hate Vini as much as every other football fan, I think he epitomises the current degradation of the modern game and how far it’s fallen in the past 5 or so years.

BUT there is absolutely 0 place for Racism and it’s GLARINGLY obvious with how that West Falklander approaches him, shirt over the mouth, that he’s not congratulating him on the goal or asking what brand aftershave he’s wearing

Surely there’s enough cameras and mics and even players around now easily identify what’s been said.

It should become a bookable offence to speak with something covering your mouth from now on as it’s only being used for one thing surely.

Even some of the Benfica fans were at it. They were caught do monkey gestures. If UEFA are serious about wanting to get rid of racism from the game, rubbish like 10 minute delays won't change anything, they need to ban the club.

Newcastle leading Qarabag 5-0 away at half time ... tie over !

Marescas team drew with these lot, useless f**ker.

Just like most people were saying yet some were defending him on here

Well that result at Qarabag is looking even more hilarious

Haha that was the game Maresca randomly took out Chalobah and Fofana in favor of Tosin and Hato, and both at fault for Qarabag's goals.

Absolute nightmare that man.

It was godawful wasn't it, and we had his cultists telling us carryabag were really good at home so it wasn't a bad result......unbelievable.

I don’t remember anyone defending Maresca, we all knew he was awful.

Game on!

Come on City!

Get in Wolves!!! Arsenal bottling this would be cinema gold at the end of the season

Oh they really are going to bottle it again aren’t they? Hahahah.

Justice for that Arsenal time wasting near the end.

It's impressive just how reliable Arsenal's collapse in the second half of a season have become.

Overworked team and a manager who relies on gimmick tactics that skirt the edges of what they can get away with until opposing teams and the refs figure it out.

I watch most of their matches and they really peaked in November - December. They are boring to watch now and lost their spark and all the luck seems to be gone now. Remember they beat Wolves in the 94th minute in the reverse fixture through an own goal, beat Everton with one shot on goal, beat Brighton 2-1 playing absolutely sh*t at home, beat Bournemouth away 3-2 also being dog sh*te.

City should absolutely be pumped for this because I feel Arsenal will drop points from now on, not only they are out of form, but are starting to feel the pressure.

City do your job, WIN all remaining games to win the PL

It's not just under Arteta.

I've been watching Premier League football since 2005 and for as long as I can remember Arsenal have always slowed down come Feb-April.

Wow, Tottenham and Chelsea could derail Arsenal and hand City the title

That would mean they win at the Bridge.

Spurs is asking a lot. However asking for us to do anything on arsenal seems impossible. Even when we have been the better side, better players, better manager we always blow it.

I can't find any evidence for this, but I remember chuckling at Chiellini's approach to winding up Jack Grealish by complimenting his calves and hair.

That may have been from an erotic fanfic you were reading though

I don't think there's any question of who topped out of that duo.

TBF we have had decent draws recently except the year we got Man City away in the FA Cup and the League Cup in the same season lol.

I stand by my original point about Arsenal as most of the recent exits in the League Cup or FA Cup against any Premier League teams have actually come when they have been drawn at home and lost.

Anyway, Wrexham is a good tie, hopefully we can progress.

Arsenal got knocked out in the 3rd round by Wrexham in 1992 and we went out away to Bristol City 1990.

So there is the odd chance of a upset just hope Rosenior respects the FA Cup.

And when you hear Robbie and Cecil at AFTV starting their post match questions by saying "Season is done, isn't it?", it usually is the sign for their meltdown. Year after year when these two start saying this thing "Season is done", although there is a lot to play for, it's like they perform some black magic. In my country we say they have "an old man's crooked mouth", meaning they only predict what is bad through their negative thoughts. Hopefully they are right this time, too. Wish I could quote this post at the end of the season when we all celebrate their meltdown 😁

Please let this be true.
