City "fans" trying to cope in so many different ways. From Pep's post match comments to Rico Lewis "rattling" all arsenal fans by showing them the champions badge. It's beautiful.
Sevilla head coach fired.
Ah, so here's why Haaland and Walker were throwing a fit:

A Sky Sports camera high up in the Arsenal stands shows Walker and Haaland walking off the pitch towards the tunnel. Gunners set-piece coach Nicolas Jover, who used to work at City, stood just off the halfway line.

As Walker left the pitch, Jover turned and walked over, offering out his hand for a handshake. Walker though, flung his arm in the air to reject the Gunners coach, with Jover appearing to aim verbals at him as he walked past.

That caused the City right-back to spin around, charge over to Jover and square up to him. Haaland also moved over to confront Jover, as staff members from both clubs also moved in to break up the trio.

Haaland, Walker and Jover continued to trade verbals even as they were separated. The Norwegian international continued to try to confront Jover, but was held back and eventually led down the tunnel.
- in short: haaland and walker were a little bitch.
  
  Correct!
- @sensiblepuffin @GunnersBot rattled
The seriously made Saka go all the way to camp....only for him to withdraw. 🙃
Got to feel bad for Ramsdale man. Hasn't made his CL debut yet.
- I would have thought the backup keeper would get to play CL + cup matches seeing as they are both high calibre keepers.
Any chance we can drop half the pinned threads? Mine is showing 6 at the moment...
- fixed it for you this time — please let me know when it happens again !
  
  Much nicer, thanks!
- If old posts remain pinned on other instances, comment on the Daily Discussion with a screenshot!
  
  as per the sidebar!! pins are kinda fucky when it comes to federation, there's only 3 pinned right now actually...
- Also just a side though but would it make sense to change the daily discussion to weekly while numbers are low?
  
  You can choose to automatically hide threads that you've read. I think that's a native feature, but I know many/most of the native clients support it.
  
  If you're checking often enough that you're seeing the pinned threads that often you can also change your sorting. Anything with a time restriction won't show pinned threads that fall outside that window. I often use top ____ when browsing all specifically to avoid the meta posts that can be pinned for weeks.
  
  I think we have more than enough to be doing it daily tbh. there's usually like a couple dozen comments a thread.
I know folks like the "ree Spurs are gonna stumble" comments but I think a title race with Spurs would be so much more fun than with City. If we can enter the end of the season with Spurs and Arsenal both with a small point advantage on City then that could make for an incredibly entertaining run-in.
- that'll inflate spuds fans beyond belief
  
  they were celebrating like they'd won the league after getting a draw against us
- I'm glad they aren't falling into irrelevance and have been playing well and I think Ange could get them CL football but I don't see them being title contenders at the end of the season.
  
  I wasn't expecting them to be this good, that quick and they have been playing really well but I'm wondering if they have the depth and quality to sustain this over the entire season.
  
  It's also worth noting that they've played all 3 newly promoted teams already, and we've done none of them. Their schedule has been undeniably easier than average, and they struggled against some of them. We'll see. I want them to be shit, personally.
Just realised again that I forgot about the thing between the badges on the Lens v Arsenal game post-match ratings :p
- ITLL BE THERE NEXT TIME I PROMISE
- Also forgot the cards on the form 😓 i was probably too hyped to remember those
Is it bad that I think our "anthem" is a bit cringe?

Is there actually any meaningful football (i.e. things are at stake) this interlull?
- I mean you can find the anthem cringe, I like it but it does focus a lot on North London which lots of fans aren't in but I think it's fine. It's a song written by a Gooner, that we've borrowed and that matchgoers clearly like. That's all we really need.
- Every anthem is initially cringe, imo. Time and achievements are what change that.
- We play Villa on Sunday in the WSL, think that's about it. Oh and Italy v England as a qualifier
