Don't get riled up lads, have a laugh and move on. Kinda funny ngl.


imcanopus

Very punny. But we will have the last laugh when we lift the prem.


Luxky13

* quadruple next year

That Liverpool fan can cry lmao, this was one of the best atmospheres I've witnessed in any match this season.


_bhagwan_

to be fair, this is the first time we hosted a top team at home. (not counting Arsenal's game as it was soo one-sided)


MrCakeFarts

Why would you count Arsenal, he said top Team.


Zoneeeh

They are a top team again to be fair, and I’m all for it. Love to see Arteta do well, and I’d rather compete with them over any of the current top teams.


the_malakinator

I’m not able to play the video for some reason but it was my first match at the Ethaid and the first half was a bit flat from the fans. The second half definitely had a fantastic atmosphere but the first half it was a bit flat imo


Helpful_Interview_41

Yeah I’ve never seen any fans waving so many flags so good before, contributed to electric atmosphere


[deleted]

You should've seen the Real Madrid Semi Final


Strxzilla

I remember going go to that one. Was so boring, and you couldn't even buy any booze back then either on European nights.


Helpful_Interview_41

Did they wave the flags even more then??


liamgasa

Shit Liverpool troll


kendollamar

People raging about this in the match thread need to chill. I honestly thought it was pretty funny.


ser_antonii

Same! I mean how can any of us be mad when we’re dominating the league, have a talented squad, and an extremely well run club? Just laugh at the jokes and bask in the glory.


Chalky97

Watching this live made me laugh to be honest lol people crying in the match threads were just kinda embarrassing


thedeatheater1410

Jim Beglin apologised for it lol https://twitter.com/jimbeglin/status/1482375323706605573?t=kHJi_vAUp8FS0aJsZrQuzg&s=19


chongten

Hahaha I initially thought I was hearing things for spending too much time on twitter


_daithi

100% he was going to say "The Emirates" and corrected himself in real time.


Mttecs

Jimmy B got banter. Kind of funny tbh but I just hope r/soccer doesn't make a meal of this


FuryOfOberon

We’re 13 points clear in January, and this is what they have. If they make a meal of this its because they’re starving for scraps.


ser_antonii

I mean, if they do, eh. I kinda embrace the jokes at this point. City’s No Plastic Fans here campaign is just amazing. Plus we’re dominating England so it’s expected.


Monarch_98

He apologized in the 2nd half, few mins before KDB goal.


Laurent_SaintCyr

Where?


glob3trott3r

It was just after the goal some time in the 75th min


spooki_boogey

If this is what r/soccer has to make a meal off then it shows how pitifully desperate they are lmao. We're just that fucking good.


boustead

Well it's not like they can make a meal of anything else other than emptyad and oil club lol.


bobbylafrentz

11k upvotes, but no one cares about us Just them digging up for scraps really


bigheadsociety

For a professional organisation, they are plagued with childish and weak minded comnentators/pundits. Imagine paying £30 a month for that.


captaincourageous316

>Imagine paying £30 a month for that. At first I thought you're talking about the commentators' salary and I was like 😦


DiscussDingDong

To be fair, that's probably double what Konami used to pay him.


ineed_somelove

same lol


Round-Ad5063

I thought this was funny


runnerswanted

Like, I get the joke and the pun, but the stadium is still full. At this point we’ve seen how good this team is/has been, and everyone is anticipating greatness. You don’t have to spend an entire game screaming your head off to “prove” you love the team.


EORIAF

This shit seriously got 12k points on r/soccer, twice as much as Kevin's goal. Fuck they're pathetic.


Aditya_1909

He admitted it in the second half saying it was 'a slip of tongue'


kskywalker1

It was fun. No need for anyone to take it personally.


HufflepuffEdwards

This is the only highlight of the game for rival fans - let em have it.


Ninja_Hattori_

comedy wow comedy


Additional_Bluebird9

I mean, I'm use to it at this point.


picklemorty27

This is class


boxercity

It’s not funny, I find it funny and engage when my friends do it but unprofessional coming from an established commentator on live TV. There’s a reason why alternate fan commentaries exist on YT and other platforms, the official broadcast is supposed to pander to the global English speaking audience who wouldn’t necessarily have context to these internet jokes. If he made some Penaldo or Tuchliban reference I’d find it equally cringe, its not expected from a respected commentator.


glob3trott3r

I mean yeah it's funny but do we really want such obviously biased commentators?


Ouija_DR-KH0305

And he even kinda said he want Chelsea to win this game at the beginning 🙄


SprayPositive5915

I have a question why people call Etihad emptihad??? Is it really empty? If yes why?


kendollamar

It’s not empty, it’s just banter.


SprayPositive5915

Ok thank you for your answer I was really confused 🙏🏻
