"But I would take winning a cup final over winning the first match of the season as there is far less guarantee that you will win the league in the end, and there is always time to recover even if you lose the first league match whereas you don't get a second chance in a cup final."

B0llocks. So if Arsenal lose next weekend, and miss out on the title by three points you'll pat yourself on the back and say "oh well at least we have the Shield"...

Are you on the Arsenal board by any chance?

Vito,

Everyone has already said they would rather have won, of course they would have. All people are saying is we are less bothered about losing today than we would be in losing in a week, and that we won't overreact to how poor we played today as it isn't a good indicator of how the season will pan out (and I mean that for both teams).

Again, I don't see the problem with that and I don't know what people expect us to say? Make up that we are all far more upset about it than we are? Why on earth would we do that, the mass hysteria on this site at times is bad enough as it is!

Fair enough cannon, most fans I know would say otherwise, but you are entitled to that view. Again, as multiple city fans have already said on this thread including myself, congratulations, you deserved to win today.

Cannon you would rather win the Emirates Cup than the opening League game?

There's no problem Melton. The argument started because a pool fan came on here and stated the trophy wasn't wortwhile. Tried pointing out the irony and got pulled up for it!

Good lad.
Last time we played at the Etihad, we shipped 6 goals in. We've tweaked our team formation and grabbed a result against you lot. I believe you can excuse a little exuberance; if only for tonight.

Of course Gillespie

by The Grand Cannon - You are never too good for Arsenal and Steve G knows that.

What's his story now? Booed for the entire first half and predictably had to be subbed at HT. City completely outplayed for the entire 90mins. Why can't he just shut up and move on?

He needs to move on?!?!? Yet he's booed for the entire first half, any chance to have a dig at him idiots like you just cream themselves and the write an article about him.

May i suggest that you move on

Just saying

City couldn't be bothered to field a proper outfit for an FA Cup Quarter final so this match had no chance
