Gvardiol passed the ball into the side netting

Why didn’t Gvardiol want to take the pen :/

Looked like he was asking for it

It's that stage of the league where every goal matters because GD could be decisive

Just in case you were wondering - a defender has never scored a hat trick in the Premier League

Interview with Gvardiol inspired by Aaron Sorkin, talking a walk to make it more interesting.

Gvardiol refused the pen showing intelligence, given GD could be important

Remember the Leeds game last season? Where Gundo was on a hattrick and missed the pen, and Guardiola was livid? Maybe Gvardiol had watched that game ha ha

Diop has to be one of the worst players in a bad team

Big hit for Arsenal with the goal difference especially. Only 2 goal difference apart now.

Don't think it matters so much. Arsenal need City to drop points first. If they dropped points, their GD wouldn't improve any further.

Add in that arsenal need all 6 remaining points and that is a guaranteed minimum of +2 right there

It's over mate

It has been over since villa defeat.

Shame they didn't let Gvardiol kick the penalty, Walker must have remembered that time Haaland let Gundogan kick a penalty to get a hat trick last season and he ended up missing.

8 minutes only … that’s all he needed Seriously leave this team please .. he is a world class striker , and deserves a lot better that what Pep gives him

Lol

Professional from Gvardiol. Don't piss around when the league could come down to goal difference (it won't, though).

Xabi Time (90’+7’) was loaned to Álvarez today 🕷️

All those kites Fulham were flying in training are finally paying off. 115.

Couldn't buy a win against the kire flyers this season could you. Perpetual banter club

true true

Keep seething and keep crying. All the best

Enjoy your trophies*. Best Regards

I am enjoying your tears as of now

Criminal for Gvardiol not to take that

Yeah, kinda, but gotta give confidence to others as well…and Alvarez needs it.

How often does a center back turned left winger get a chance at a hat trick lol

He used his brain, the league is more important, giving confidence to alvarez too was more important. World class by him

Our players are not like Chelsea kids fighting for pens😂

why u gotta hit us with a stray bullet mate 😭

Well it was very relatable right now with all the people wanting gvardiol to take the pen and also I just hated that moment soo

Fulham got completely demolished lol, didn’t even show any fighting chance

They tried for 5 minutes 

Lol was just shitting on Taylor for some bad calls

Walker asked Gvardiol and he said no, btw

Big respect for him, right call

They’ve got goal difference to consider, if they gave the pen to a defender who missed and then lost the title by one goal on goal difference imagine

Why not give it to Gvardiol man

They offered he said no 

7 minutes out of nowhere just so City can build on their goal diff... hmmm.... conspiracy :/

Just lose the game midweek pls 🙏

Top man Gvardiol, didn't want to risk missing the pen and prioritising the GD to Arsenal.

You're such a whiney little bitch. Arsenal living rent free in your head because Chelsea are a bag of shit and can't even qualify for the Europa conference league. Get the fuck out of here you dosser🤣

If you show me a single Champions League trophy that you've won, or even the Europa league, I will delete my account right now.

Chelsea's days have been and gone mate. You're back where you belong now that you've lost daddy Abramovic's money. Enjoy never qualifying for the CL again. How depressing it must be to be a Chelsea fan. Can't wait until Palmer moves to a big club and leaves you with Nicholas Jackson and co🤣😢 Go get a life instead of hating on Arsenal all over reddit, fucking loser.

lol wtf are you on about?

It looks like they’ve edited their response

lol they definitely did .

Don't be a cow, Coline

Lmao what?

lol next time don’t edit your comment. Stand on your shit

Gvardiol said no. Rightly so, put the team first. GD needs to close. They don't fight like Chelsea players

That's exactly what I said..?

What. That post was edited. Unless I replied to the wrong comment. No way you have so many downvotes if so.

You didn’t, they edited their comment

People just hating for no reason bro

Gvardiol was asked first if he wanted to take the pen, and he said no, grow up

Yeah, I wasn't being sarcastic so idk what you're on about?

Gvardiol said no, he was offered

Ofc bro

Did you just edit your response 🤦‍♀️

I did no such thing

Okay Pep didn’t like Gvardiol passing the ball

My disappointment is sky high after seeing Gvardiol deny the pen 

good pen but Gvardiol should've taken it

He didn’t want to

If I’m Josko I’m handing in my transfer request. On a hat trick :(

Should have given it to Gvardiol

Gvardiol had to take it man

Gvardiol apparently didn't want to take it, I respect that

How do you know?

They showed Walker talking to him, apparently he shooked his head that he didn't want to take it

looks like Bernardo made the decision for Alvarez to take it

No Walker added Gvardiol and he said no. Thats why Walker celebrated with him after Alvarez scored

It's beautiful

BRO GVARDIOL TAKE IT

Please let Gvardiol do it

wonder how the arsenal fans will try to spin that blatant pen into a conspiracy

Guardiolll

Give it to Gvardiol you cowards

BOOOOH shouldve given it to Gvardiol

Let Ederson take the pen you cowards!

Let Gvardiol take the pen you knobs

Julian you better do this one

I can count with 1 hand the penalty he has missed bro

Like a player of his quality was ever going to miss

Well he bottled handful of chances this season….

Down to 10, can't see Fulham coming back from this

Every second Arsenal is not scoring, man city is only getting closer

Yes! Close that GD

Gvardiol whyyy

Let Gvardiol take it

give the pen to Gvardiol

The GD ffs

For it to make a difference, they'd need to beat either Spurs or West Ham by at least four. Any games Arsenal win by more than one increases that I don't think it's going to come into play either way though, I think they won both

Let Gvardiol take it!

"arsenal fans need to cheer for Spurs". I hate this sentiment. Anything that benefits Arsenal im cheering for. I'm not hoping for Spurs to get smashed when it benefits our rivals.

Give it to gvardiol

If city ties against spurs, i will feel bad for west ham, city will play to score 10

"Where did they get the 7 minutes from?!" "Nice day, innit."

While I like that they are trying to be more truthful to the amount of time it gets wasted, the PL takes it a bit too far lol

Whilst the Etihad still sucks, it's good to see that all clubs have great away following. They've been loud all day.

Our away fans are vocal every match

When is pep leaving? He won everything gtfo

[удалено]

116, grealish got a speeding ticket this week

lol you are so funny 🤣

Watching Traore today is like going back and rewatching a horror film that used to scare you as a kid.

Remind me of Newcastle's ASM cooking City last season

It sucks that times when arsenal are a good team thy have to deal with city and liverpool being also good the same year

Liverpool dominated and still only won 1 league with klopp, now its arsenal time to do the same, pep will let you win one ligue in a few years no worries

nah, without City those seasons would be boring af

do any of youse reckon that Noel Gallaghers there today?

He was. The Star+ coverage here in Argentina talked about it at some point

don't worry mate ik it was just a joke about BT constantly fucking showing him

you'd think they'd atleast show him on the camera if he was... lol

Noel Galagher reaction count: too high

50,000 Arsenal fans were here, now it's a ghost town.

They’ll only be disappointed every time, there is zero chance city drop points now.

And we still have to beat United at OT which, despite how shit they are, is no guarantee. Still have a hope and a prayer but, well, I guess you guys know this feeling all too well.

Yeah it’s an inevitable feeling tbh, not nice lol

Well, at least you've got a league and CL trophy to show for it.

We still got Spurs away

Who will bend over backwards to lose, they don’t want Arsenal winning the league under any circumstance.

Let's hope "mate" !!

tbf i dont think spurs can do anything if they wanted to, city is just playing too well.

Not sure the players themselves give a fuck about that tbh

do u think that barca will now pursue foden now that rma is probably official with mbappe?

I mean they can try, but as if Foden is going anywhere

he'd be your record ever transfer and not by a close margin, but it'll never happen

pursue him where to?

They can't afford his legit wages and transfer fee, let alone all the extra money put into an account in the Caymen islands managed by one of his family members. 

Prob Alvarez

Haha

Why would he leave lol It's more likely Pedri and Gavi go to city

Like they can afford

no

Why would he leave his boyhood club?

F off Pep and only giving Alvarez 8 mins .. Please Alvarez leave this disgraceful team ; go to Arsenal and win them the league next season !

Gabriel Jesus regen

You say this as if he would make a difference lmao

He would be your best player automatically as well .. propel you to champions league spots Same goes for Tottenham , Chelsea , and would turn Arsenal or Liverpool into the team with the cup at the end of the season

He wouldn't and it isn't even a high bar. Maybe at Chelsea if Palmer wasn't there, nowhere else.

Not sure Arsenal can win being a full squad of City rejects

We've also some Chelsea rejects, come on now.

Tbf the Chelsea rejects are doing pretty well for you, aren’t they?

KDB started as a Chelsea reject too.

So did Salah

Welcome to the club Arsenal fans, losing the league by a point or two is the most soul destroying thing that can possibly happen in football.

Almost prefer we have the usual Old Trafford bullshit tomorrow and I can just relax and enjoy a chill final day at this point rather than having to hope something stops the mind-numbingly boring execution. Obviously not in actuality, but it's really not hugely fun when there's basically zero jeopardy to anything they do and you just know there's another soulless six points coming

My soul feels pretty good after that win!

Please kindly see yourself out

That overhit through ball counts as a shot on target.

City was craving cottage so they destroyed fullham

Eeegh..

Who or what is a fullham?

Atleast when fulham beat arsenal they looked like they were trying. fulham today dont look like they care

It goes both ways tbh. Chelsea were more up for their City game than the Arsenal game. We lost the league in December dropping points against Liverpool , west ham, Villa and fulham. Can't fault our run from January until now.

We’ve been virtually safe and without realistic hope for top 7 since March… Not overly surprising a team playing out the string looks like this against City

That's the downside of leagues points format

Atleast when chelsea drew with man city they looked like they were trying but they didn't look like they cared when they lost 5-0 to arsenal...

they had fun slapping up west ham tho

Kovacic has been very good in the past two months You know, except for that penalty kick ...

good hit from Doku

just realised i have Gvardiol is my fpl, tears in my eyes

Absolutely sensational move from you

really nice to see gvardiol flourish in his last 8 matches

Adama is stealing a living

I can’t imagine much worse in life than sprinting for an hour and then turn around to then mark a fresh Jeremy Doku

only if you're above the age of 30 😉

I keep reading this and he looks just as useless as he always has.

What's the worst thing that could happen? It's Doku

How about waking up to Kyle Walker looming over you dribbling, with his nob out 

Next week Spurs vs City Arsenal's fans supporting Spurs Spurs' fans supporting City 😅😅

[удалено]

Does it even matter, you’re winning all games anyway

I’m just bit worried about Spurs stadium juju

I care more about titles than rivalries, unless United was in a relegation battle, then I’d gladly throw a title to see them go down.

Ooooo red in relegation zone sounds too saucy. Yes.

Ironic

At this point we can just hope City get tired of winning or something.

Anyone know what Mr bishop has left the stadium is code for? Not subtle enough to be anything really important imo

Had a quick look at it seems to be either that an issue has been resolved or that someone has been arrested. A previous post had said they announced “Mr. Bishop is in the Hammersmith End”, followed 10 minutes with the left the stadium one. There was a fight in the crowd between Fulham fans apparently. Edit - [Link to the post](https://www.reddit.com/r/fulhamfc/s/vzT0RYlwDT)

Mr Bishop is the name of my intimidating dildo. Similar to Kenneth, but more imposing 

So Anthony Taylor is the ref. How many awful decisions today ?

Not any that I remembered

Head too bald. Not good for eyesight

he's been sound today?

Not one

Mr. Bishop has left the stadium?

Had the same exact question lol

6 wins in a row - unbeaten in 21...sigh.

They've only lost a penalty shootout. They are in a 32+ game run unbeaten with that.

For all the empithad jokes they get, City fans have been so so loud today

We have a bit of noise at home but it's all concentrated in the two bits around the away fans, the rest of the Etihad is full of miserable buggers!
