Phew!
Really should've been 3, and good night, with that flurry of shots just before the whistle.

I have a chance...and it is fat.
Never mind..........we can pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and start all over again!
It's all about the premiership innit,
but, fuck me, that was one hell of a gutless performance.
We harried them down here all over the pitch. What were the tactics tonight? Let some fantastic players run at you from the halfway line. Don't challenge them they just might fall over.
If it hadn't been for Heaton we would have been buried.
Quincy and Chopra will really freshen up the team. And it seems its needed.
Fwiw Parry had the worst game I have ever seen him play, disinterested and lethargic.
Now its on to Wolves. A performance as clueless as this will be heartbreaking.

The City fans were brilliant. How many supporters burst into a huge chorus of, "Let's all have a disco" at full time when their team's just been whupped 4-0?!
Makes me proud.
The boys just didn't look interested tonight, need to sharpen up before the Wolves game.

I blame the snow.
The boy were rusty from now having played for so long but as well as that they'd had too long to dwell upon going to the Emirates. I think they psyched themselves out before they even got there.
Add to that the fact that the larger pitch suits Arsenal's extra pace and fitness and it was always going to be a massive uphill struggle.
My only real concern is what will this have done to our player's confidence after the roll we were on.
Come on city, dust yourselves off and lets go to the prem!

not a CCFC fan but would have liked to have seen them beat arsenal and so, (wearing welsh dragon socks and a red hat ( hey sneaky!) and hoping for a weekend double over the saes) took up the offer of £30 seats in the home lower tier and what a shame though as apart from Burke, cardiff were poor .. and boothroyd was really poor .. but as always the ccfc fans were great
.. and my first (and will be last) time at the Emirates .. really hated it .. souless, plastic and concrete .. horrible .. all the blokes i was with, who have been going to the arsenal since the 6ts/7ts, don't like it and say there is only any atmosphere against tottenham .. all seaters are the death of atmosphere, for home fans at least

Wow, that was the biggest police presence at the Emirates since it opened, but I didn’t see any trouble. Although I agree that the Cardiff fans were in good voice, its not entirely soulless at the Emirates. My section stand and sing throughout the game, so match days are always ace for me. I do sometimes look at the quiet masses and wonder just why they pay their money.

I saw some sections standing. We heard some singing but not a huge amount.
I thought i saw some trouble kicking off but it was just police letting traffice through the main road a bit at a time.
Saw a potential flare up as some Arsenal fans started shouting abuse at a Cardiff fan.
Cardiff fan was like come on then before a huge copper moved this huge bloke along in a flash. Didn't nick him so good policing from what i saw. Aside from the fact the arsenal fans got away scot free thinking they were big n clever. I'd of liked the coppers to have shouted at them a bit too.

Looks like we were just infront of where you were (for the 2nd half anyway).

The boys near us weren't keen on their allocated seat allowance so they went walkabout
What did you make of the experience?

If the cops had their way, they'd have probably made it a 5am kick off.
The good news is that it means my Welsh mates will be able to make my birthday party in Brixton on the 3rd now

Funnier than he thinks he is.
So what does that make it, just 1 saturday game left at Ninian Park, or is it 2?

Yeah, we were supposed to be in the top tier, but didn't fancy it.
Enjoyed it. More so than the Wembley semi I think, cos we were in that middle tier for that.
