The fact Phillips cant even get on in a friendly isn't looking good for him, Pep clearly don't rate him

Surprised he's still there to be honest.

He wants to stay and fight for a place but if this doesnt send a message to him i don't know what will

[Happy Blue]

8mins in a friendly  

[Whiskey]

The commentators never missing an opportunity to give a lecture on head injuries at every possible chance

[Stan]

Arsenal get a jammy equaliser in the last minute! 

Trossard deflected shot. 

[Whiskey]

The FA should be ashamed of themselves. 1-1 as the referee has added on eight minutes and has so far played 12.

City robbed.

[Happy Blue]

Nice goal from Akanji  ..at least we get pens 

[Bluewolf]

Well, well.. 

[Happy Blue]

102mins and Phillips couldn't get on

12 minutes long yeah?

[Whiskey]

To be fair after seeing that City fan wearing goalkeeper gloves in the stand, Arsenal should have won by default.

What

The head clash was in stoppage time. They were down for 4 mins. Ref played the extra 4 mins on top of the 8 mins stoppage time. 

Even I know you can work out what 4+8 equals. 

[Happy Blue]

Well at least Arsenal fans are enjoying it like Liverpool did last season, that's our charity done for the year

Stoppages I'd guess.

Happy Blue seems to be rattled so that's nice.

As for the game, pretty even and neither in full flow yet. Timber looks like a great purchase though. Has looked good every game he's played.

Arteta is too funny. Think it was the champions s league final.
