No, I am not falsifying a notion. You just claimed I based it on 1-2 accounts, who is falsifying one now? 😀
Who said you specifically were happy? I don't care about your feelings towards Rodri. I wrote a comment based on what i have read and you reacted and took it personal.. To say you have not seen Arsenal fans happy at the fact Rodri is injured is just you disingenuous.
I stand by it, it is classless to see many fans of this Club happy Rodri sustained a career threatening injury. Simple
Just to confirm all these comments about "City are afraid of us, we are the better team etc".
We haven't won a trophy right? Like we won one game.
Yeah shameful seeing our fans celebrate Rodri possible ACL injury. It is just disgusting behaviour. Seen surgeries and recovery of people after ACL injury terrible thing to wish on someone and celebrate.
First off no one is saying that we're better than them but they are absolutely rattled. You don't come out and say what they said otherwise. And as for the rodri injury who gives a good fuck you see what some of their fans wrote after Odegaard went down?
Go listen to the AOP, read comments on various social media platform. Like Keane said, "all these they are the best defence, they still conceded 2 goals".
Yeah I heard the Roy Keane comments and he's a fucking imbecile always has been. Literally along with Real Madrid City are the best team in the world and away from home with 10 men they're practically guaranteed to win comfortably. And we do have the best defence. Literally the best last season and it's what 3 conceded this season. You're either trolling or stupid at this point
It's not like an ACL injury is some life threatening catastrophe. He has access to the best sports medicine and will be back sometime.
I don't have any sympathy for the player who was mocking us [even after they won the title], same one who was trying to get Havertz sent off for contact he initiated within 4 secs of the game.
Players get injured all the time, it's part of the game
Rodri has been complaining to city about their over-reliance on him and for being overplayed.
That's what's done him, nothing to do with Arsenal
For you to put that on us in any manner is despicable?
I don't care. I don't even feel sorry for him. It is an occupational hazard that's befallen him.
The portion of fans celebrating Rodri's injury is the same portion of fans that said that Partey committed the worst foul in the game - against Rodri (non contact injury mind you) and the same portion of fans that celebrated Odegaard's injury a couple of weeks ago.
All fan bases have cretins. If you come to an Arsenal blog saying we are the disgusting ones, do you use the same criteria for the fans of the other teams being disgusting to us or it's just another thing you feel the need to moan about?
Manchester City midfielder and Balon D’Or contender Rodri suffered a non-contact knee injury vs Arsenal yesterday.
Initial reporting was that hands-on testing didn’t “look good” - physios can perform the Lachman test which is quite reliable for ACL ruptures (nearly 85% sensitivity and 95% specificity)
There are now reports coming out that he flew to Spain for follow-up imaging which have confirmed the initial diagnosis.
If true, he’s looking at a 7-9 month return to play (the average for elite footballers). However, full duration will depend on the extent of the injury (how much of the meniscus is involved? Any other ligaments like the MCL?) and how he responds to physio through the process.
Return to pre-injury levels is an even longer process. I’m typically looking around 18 months or so.
Will update as well learn more.
________________________________________________
18 months to get back to pre-injury levels is brutal. Meaning the rest of this season + most of next season. He'll be about 30 yo then.
Also, most ACL injuries are non-contact as was Rodri's and also Timber's a year ago.
All I care about is viewing the Ousmane Dembele-style memes that will abound when Rodri returns and sees new teammates, new manager, new [lower] division, new playing styles, maybe new uniforms?
Listen lads every single time you hear a Man City player pipe up just remember it's because they're literally scared shitless of us these days. We have their number and they're absolutely rattled. Fuckers couldn't beat 10 of ours and Haaland is just a bitch because generally speaking he gets nothing out of Saliba and Gabriel. And Bernardo Silva talking about league titles...we still have more than them and they're probably going to be losing a few but he'll be long gone when that happens like a rat fleeing a sinking ship
I still can't get around the fact that the 2nd half yesterday was the longest half of football with the ball in play since the start of the season.
5 rounds, 20 games each, that's 100 games, right? Yesterday's 2nd half had the ball in play for 35 mins, more than any of the other 99 games. Let's give it 7 minutes extra time. Which was extended again. And again.
A video of Partey https://x.com/kimmoFC/status/1838234401966055562 who earned this written about it: "The worst of all these fouls was committed by Partey on Rodri....yet Partey saw no Red card ♦️ for deliberately injuring Rodri as he had no eyes for the ball, just Rodri", according to some City fans.
Partey literally ran along side Rodri. That's it. No foul, nothing. Three similar matchups are on display in that one corner kick. Happens like 50 times per game. Partey did nothing wrong.
It's more about Rodri clocking insane amount of minutes, something he's been moaning about for a long time.
Dr. Rajpal Brar, Doctor Physical Therapy:
Fatigue is one of the key drivers of injury, particularly non-contact injuries like he suffered vs Arsenal. Players need proper off-seasons or we’ll continue to see injuries pile up.
Typically 7-9 months out but depends on full extent (meniscus, MCL, etc) and longer return to performance. Maybe more people will listen to him now about the risk of congested scheduled (who am I kidding, we know they won’t).
Thing is, that's not only twitter idiots. You see Webb said that the 2nd yellow for Rice 2 weeks ago, was absolutely fair. Owen also didn't ask him why Veltman threw the ball forward onto Rice's feet, miles away from where the foul was committed.
Yesterday, on match of the day, they were having a laugh at Haaland hitting Gabriel's head with the ball after the goal. Called it passion and laughed it out.
Neither did anyone commented on the added time of the longest half of football with the ball in play.
We've got Liverpool fans commending City because Bernardo said Liverpool had won things when they dared challenge them unlike us.
We've got Spuds, Chavs and even Man United fans siding with City in everything.
You think Twitter isn't a reflection of the world? I think it is. If you think otherwise because there's no way society is that retarded, you're a hopeless romantic, alright.
That 45 mins was one the most demonic of football I'd seen terms of defending... Peak Mourinho and Simeone would be so proud of that defensive display.
I worry about the workload of our players though, we've got quite a tiny squad
The exhaustion from playing 10 men in the low block is more mental than physical. We sat back and just focused on blocking off shots and passing channels.
The exhaustion we had was because it was our third away game at a difficult ground in 8 days, It's the cumulation of away games over 8 days that did us.
Rodri out for the season ? Why make the comments on a new post for paying people a day after such a controversial game ? There are only 56 comments on it instead of 500
Manchester City midfielder Rodri will miss the remainder of the season after tests this morning confirmed he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear in his right knee during Sunday's draw with Arsenal, a source told ESPN.
We'll see how it is but it is what it is. We still have to be nearly flawless from now on. Clearly a big hit on City if true but let's win almost all of our remaining games and hopefully City make mistakes. They are still considered possibly the best team in the world. Let's hope they are a bit weaker and lose points in the process.
Not sure I’m buying into this whole City fear us mantra. I’m sure they know our quality, must have known it for two seasons.
They weren’t rattled as much as they were frustrated and pissed off.
In their minds Arsenal players came in to time waste and shithouse our way to a point or three.
So far Ian Wright has been the only pundit to call it correct for me, and to paraphrase his take and add few minor points of my own you can probably understand why.
Every small flash point leading up to Trossard sending off went against City in their minds.
Havertz’s contact with Rodri, Rodri going down in the box injured, Oliver allowing a quick restart for our goal, Arsenal blocking off Ederson for our second, and a few time wasting moments by us in between as well.
I’m not saying any of those were actual fouls or injustices ( except the quick restart for which City players hounded Oliver) but the cumulative effect was already taking shape.
Interesting moment when Calafiori pointed to his head with both fingers after his goal, which is international for let’s keep using our heads, as if the team spoke about it before the game, as I’m sure they did knowing what Oliver was capable of.
Now I still believe Trossard sending off was a joke decision, but in view of what had transpired leading up to it, and Oliver’s history with us and his City record, did he use his head????
Haaland barged into Partey, Gabriel etc even before the rest had happened. They came in on edge to make a statement win and cut us deep this early into the season.
What followed? They were helpless in breaking us in an 11v10 situation for over 50 minutes. You bet they were/are pissed off. They thought they'd put us back in our place, in their home, in their fortress. We were that close to causing them first defeat there in years.
This was supposed to be a - "sit dog" scenario in their heads but it turned out so differently. Absolutely outplayed while 11v11. To then be frustrated for over 50 mins in a half where the ball was in play the longest out of any other game this season. Yes, pissed off cause they expected a vastly different game. Rattled cause they tried their absolute god damn hardest and needed big time help from the ref to get a draw in the last minute v 10 players.
Oliver has dished 7 red cards to our players over the years. More than he's given to any other team he's refereed. Dissenter will still tell us to not worry as he's the best ref in England.
Szobo kicked the ball after the ref had whistled was it last weekend? The delay between the whistle and Szobo kicking the ball was longer than Trossard's yesterday. Both players on a yellow.
Yes, Oliver felt like giving the 2 yellow cards in one play to Martinelli and not giving a 2nd yellow to Kovacic for 2 potentially red card offenses on their own.
There's a thread on twitter, watch and weep. There are so many times he's helped City. Grealish handball to stop a goal in the penalty area, Doku with a kick in McAlister's upper body in the penalty area, Ake goal where Akanji was miles behind the defence and was clearly obstructing Leno's view and decision making.
Absolutely agreed. It is a direct conflict of interest. It's not rocket science.
But just by not officiating City games, they can influence the games of City's direct rival and still make an unfiar decision to help the people that made them rich.
And it's not only Oliver, it's just that SkySport, the PL and PGMOL are all one structure. They've got each other's back in every step of the way. At the end of the day, they can do absolutely what they want with no repercussions as they are their own judge. There's nobody to guarantee fair play but themselves and they are rotten.
Trossard made a poor error of judgment when he kicked the ball away. Frankly it was much more blatant than the innocuous movement carried out by Declan Rice.
Let's call a spade a spade. It was bloody stupid and unnecessary. It may well have cost us two points from this game notwithstanding how well our defence played in second half.
What should also be recognised is that our current first team squad has only 22 players
compared with the 25 last season. We are not in a position to absorb large number of
red cards let alone the growing injury list.
On Wednesday at least five players from first team squad will be unavailable through injury or red card and on top of it transpires Neto our second string goalkeeper cannot play in
the Carabo Cup. That means we have waifer thin resources available for next 4 games.
I would not be surprised if the Disciplinary people don't review what occurred at the end of the game when Haaland threw the ball at the back of Gabriel. Clearly not seen by Oliver but would
have constituted a red card offence if seen by referee during the game.
Personally I am surprised that no-one on Sky or BBC commented on this incident.
They did on match of the day and Shearer and Given + the presenter said they love the old battle type of Manure vs Arsenal when it was personal and there was bad blood between the players. They said they love the emotions.
I think they called it a little flick of the ball and also called it passion.
They were also laughing at it saying "look at him, look at Gabriel, he doesn't even realize that someone hit him with the ball". All 3 of them laughed it out.
It should be noted:
- 3 big games
- All travel/away
- MVP and captain out
- Spurs (Rice suspended)
- Atalanta (Europa champions)
- City (Haaland, 10 vs 12)
Still undefeated.
Career threatening no? Your choice to feel sorry or not but happy a player is injured is disgusting behaviour no matter how it is painted
Really just shut it man
You started with the notion that some people were rejoicing, prolly based on 1-2 twitter accounts.
The outlying fans that are "rejoicing" are no different from you who is trying super hard to falsify other people's opinion to suit your narrative.
Now you're misinterpreting my nonchalance and apathy towards whatever has befallen Rodi as being "happy"?
Go and be sad for Rodri. Cry your eyes out for all I care.
There are real calamities in the world, Rodri having a knee ligament injury isn't one of them.
By the way, did you empathize with Odegaard when he got injured, as much as all these croc tears for Rodri?
No, I am not falsifying a notion. You just claimed I based it on 1-2 accounts, who is falsifying one now? 😀
Who said you specifically were happy? I don't care about your feelings towards Rodri. I wrote a comment based on what i have read and you reacted and took it personal.. To say you have not seen Arsenal fans happy at the fact Rodri is injured is just you disingenuous.

City didn't sign anyone to help him out last summer
Just to confirm all these comments about "City are afraid of us, we are the better team etc".
We haven't won a trophy right? Like we won one game.
Yeah shameful seeing our fans celebrate Rodri possible ACL injury. It is just disgusting behaviour. Seen surgeries and recovery of people after ACL injury terrible thing to wish on someone and celebrate.

We drew a game, that was all. 1 point.
Yeah I heard the Roy Keane comments and he's a fucking imbecile always has been.

“You’re either trolling or stupid at this point”! Marko, have u met Benkind? He’s both.
Oh just stop the nonsense, that's horse shit

Manuel Akanji on Arsenal:
"That's what they're looking for. The drama. Going hard in duels, defence, 11 players in their own box.
I don’t think there are many better than them at it [the dark arts]. It worked for them so if they're happy with the one point. We're not."
Has every single player of them commented on the game? That's not usually the case, is it?! It's almost like we've got them rattled.
I still can't get around the fact that the 2nd half yesterday was the longest half of football with the ball in play since the start of the season.

Rotten all the way to the core.
50 games 5 rounds 20 teams. But yes, completely rotten. Cheating bastards.
Whops, true. The longest out of 50 games. What are the odds that it would need a 7-9-11 mins of added time? Insanity.
According to some City fans, Partey deliberately tried to injure Rodri. - https://x.com/kimmoFC/status/1838234401966055562
Meanwhile, this is Rodri on Odegaard in Spain vs Norway earlier this year - https://x.com/footyspeakerbox/status/1838191989352718543
No penalty given as well...
A video of Partey https://x.com/kimmoFC/status/1838234401966055562 who earned this written about it: "The worst of all these fouls was committed by Partey on Rodri....yet Partey saw no Red card ♦️ for deliberately injuring Rodri as he had no eyes for the ball, just Rodri", according to some City fans.

Players don't have to play to many games, they probably want to play in all the games. Also that is what a squad is for.
If you spend all your time reacting to twitter idiots, you'll probably lose your damn mind at some point.

Twitter is the best place to find outlying opinions
What you shouldn't do, however is to validate them and give them oxygen as though they are mainstream.
If they are shared and liked by thousands of people, that makes them more or less real world. It is what it is.

Still rejoicing after the draw, bitches?

That looked like an ACL to me from the word go.
Expect more this season as players’ minutes keep racking up
Not sure I’m buying into this whole City fear us mantra. I’m sure they know our quality, must have known it for two seasons.

Answer on postcards please.
Something that doesn't fit your take:
Haaland barged into Partey, Gabriel etc even before the rest had happened. They came in on edge to make a statement win and cut us deep this early into the season.
What followed? They were helpless in breaking us in an 11v10 situation for over 50 minutes. You bet they were/are pissed off. They thought they'd put us back in our place, in their home, in their fortress. We were that close to causing them first defeat there in years.

Szobo kicked the ball after the ref had whistled was it last weekend? The delay between the whistle and Szobo kicking the ball was longer than Trossard's yesterday. Both players on a yellow.
Guess who was the ref.
Answer on postcards please.
My take is Oliver was under pressure from City players to deliver a make up call.
Whether you agree one was merited or not is irrelevant so long Oliver felt so.
Yes, Oliver felt like giving the 2 yellow cards in one play to Martinelli and not giving a 2nd yellow to Kovacic for 2 potentially red card offenses on their own.
There's a thread on twitter, watch and weep. There are so many times he's helped City. Grealish handball to stop a goal in the penalty area, Doku with a kick in McAlister's upper body in the penalty area, Ake goal where Akanji was miles behind the defence and was clearly obstructing Leno's view and decision making.
https://x.com/nischal_15/status/1838084163502837911
Haaland got no yellow card yesterday btw.
You’re making my point for me raps.
Personally, If the league had a shred of integrity they wouldn’t have sent refs to work the UAE league for 8x the EPL pay.
But once they did, they would’ve kept those refs from working man city games.
Obvious conflict of interests.
Absolutely agreed. It is a direct conflict of interest. It's not rocket science.
But just by not officiating City games, they can influence the games of City's direct rival and still make an unfiar decision to help the people that made them rich.
And it's not only Oliver, it's just that SkySport, the PL and PGMOL are all one structure. They've got each other's back in every step of the way. At the end of the day, they can do absolutely what they want with no repercussions as they are their own judge. There's nobody to guarantee fair play but themselves and they are rotten.
Well put Raps. Best rant on the corruption I’ve heard yet!
Trossard made a poor error of judgment when he kicked the ball away. Frankly it was much more blatant than the innocuous movement carried out by Declan Rice.
Let's call a spade a spade. It was bloody stupid and unnecessary. It may well have cost us two points from this game notwithstanding how well our defence played in second half.
What should also be recognised is that our current first team squad has only 22 players
compared with the 25 last season. We are not in a position to absorb large number of
red cards let alone the growing injury list.
On Wednesday at least five players from first team squad will be unavailable through injury or red card and on top of it transpires Neto our second string goalkeeper cannot play in
the Carabo Cup. That means we have waifer thin resources available for next 4 games.
I would not be surprised if the Disciplinary people don't review what occurred at the end of the game when Haaland threw the ball at the back of Gabriel. Clearly not seen by Oliver but would
have constituted a red card offence if seen by referee during the game.
Personally I am surprised that no-one on Sky or BBC commented on this incident.
They did on match of the day and Shearer and Given + the presenter said they love the old battle type of Manure vs Arsenal when it was personal and there was bad blood between the players. They said they love the emotions.
I think they called it a little flick of the ball and also called it passion.
They were also laughing at it saying "look at him, look at Gabriel, he doesn't even realize that someone hit him with the ball". All 3 of them laughed it out.
Didn't say shit about it being against the rules.
Haaland didn't just tell Arteta to "stay humble", he pushed him on the shoulder to tell him that
That's when Jesus tried to have a word with him.
