WTF Merino... So poor.

Gyökeres got the better of him though, wish he'd been more selfish and taken the shot. Overall Viktor did much more in his half an hour than Kai Havertz managed in a full hour

Trafford had a decent game, but he should feel bad for letting the Calafiori goal in. Unconventional, but savable. Still, could have been worse if he hadn't shut down those late chances for Odegaard and Saka

Love love love Declan's little flick to Bruno to assist the winning goal. He's got surprising technical skills

Loved the sustained pressure we put on after the equaliser, until we got the second goal. Felt inevitable

You'd have to say he was the sharpest point of a fairly blunt attack. Credit to Leeds for stifling Saka, Havertz, Odegaard, so they couldn't make anything happen

Still, after butchering an attempt to cut inside and shoot, Noni redeemed himself with that delicious right footed cross for the Calafiori goal. I desperately wanted to see his left foot on that side, but it was the right that produced the magic

Ray Parlour forever @rayparlour.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
I've wanted to see Noni on the left for ages. Overall, good performance, but he was miles out of position for the Leeds goal. If he stays with his man, that goal doesn't happen

Finally watched the full game from Saturday. Some thoughts 🧵

Arteta's devotion to Havertz needs to be questioned. Great player, but he's been off the boil for a few games now, and with the injury he really should not have started

Ray Parlour forever @rayparlour.bsky.social · 11/10/2026
It's really odd that it took until now for him to start on the left. It's been the obvious solution for so long

Ray Parlour forever @rayparlour.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Well that is extremely weird

What?! Surely not. It's still there in the BBC article, they're not going to get something that basic wrong

Tiresome listening to journalists keep asserting City deny things. So fucking what? They were found guilty. You can say they are appealing but you can seriously stop saying they deny things like they haven't already been proven to be lying in a verdict that also accused them of lying.

We're lucky that Viktor had the Sweden games to find form, since he barely got a kick for Arsenal at the start of the season. It's disappointing how little Arteta used him – even when Kai wasn't performing – when he should have been preparing for exactly this situation

What he needs is teammates who consistently try to assist him. Confidence never the issue

Ray Parlour forever @rayparlour.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Well yes, I remember that happening. But United took zero points from the game, so there would be no difference if City were now expelled

Ray Parlour forever @rayparlour.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Yeah it's quite convenient they've won all their games so far. No teams would lose any points from their total and complete eradication

Honestly, people would care a lot more about UEFA competitions if they stopped calling things 'leagues' Nations League Europa League Conference League Champions League They're almost entirely *cups*. Just call them cups, and people would be more into them

Myles Lewis-Skelly starting in midfield for England when he wasn't even playing as a midfielder at the start of the year is just nuts. He's amazing and just turned 20 today. He doesn't get anywhere near enough credit from outside Arsenal. Happy birthday, Myles

There should be an end-credit scene added to the final episode of Ted Lasso, where Ted – back in the US with his family – opens a letter revealing that City have had their titles stripped because of financial doping, and so he & Richmond are Premier League winners after all 🏆

Obviously the Guardiola domination is tainted forever now, and giving those titles to Klopp and Arteta would be the correct thing to do. But those early titles, I don't know

As for 2014, imagine Steven Gerrard's slip and the Palace collapse going unpunished. A premier league winner suddenly. Eww. No no no, not like this

The 2012 Agueroooooo moment was so epic, let them have it. Especially because the alternative is another United title

No one wants to defend City. But I also don't know if I want them to lose all their trophies

The Pires/Henry mix up vs City is presumably one of his two 'misses' there

As someone who watched the whole game live (and could actually see what was happening, Keith) it wasn't just a couple of worldies sadly. They really had our number, they won basically every 50-50, and there were many more shots that just happened to go wide. Honestly we were completely outplayed

Ray Parlour forever @rayparlour.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
You could be right. Expectations were sky-high coming into the season, with assumptions we'd walk the title, and of course win in Europe too. A stiff dose of reality could be very healthy

Trying to work out why I'm broadly unbothered by the Brighton result * We're such a good team, will it matter? We're definitely still in the title race, City et al will all drop points * We're already champions * Just a more comprehensive defeat, less frustrating than conceding a last minute goal

Any stats on players scoring hat tricks yet still finishing on the losing side?

Seemed he was either upfront and offside, or in defence picking up the ball off Raya 🤷‍♂️

Well written, agree 100%. An early sign of fatigue? We just looked knackered from the start

Easy for Arteta to say, after the game, he knew something was off from the very first throw-in. He's the one who decided not to make a change until we'd conceded the third goal.

If there is a weakness, it's not Raya himself, but our defenders backing off and giving the opponent time and space to line up his perfect shot

Ray Parlour forever @rayparlour.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
They were massively better than us. Despite that, we created (and missed) some great chances, and they relied on freakish goals to get the win. On another day could have been a very different result
