[Lineker]

Wow, Sanchez.

[Starvinho]

Take a bow son. Take a fucking bow!

[Cheeky Hughes]

Oh what a load of bollocks.

[Gorka]

That's a great strike, good headed assist also.

[Starvinho]

Wilshere is a different player all of a sudden.

[Benjamin]

They're winning because of those damn rainbow shoelaces, I tell you.

[Jimmy]

yeah, Wilshere's having the game of his life - let's build the England team around him!!

[Lineker]

Wilshere is a different player all of a sudden.

It was all of Paul Scholes' bad-mouthing pre-game!

[Lineker]

Debuchy stretchered off. Chambers on.

[Lineker]

2-2. Demichelis.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Martin!!!

[Gorka]

Flamini had that.

[Starvinho]

City will win this now.

[Cheeky Hughes]

A Nasri winner would be beautiful.

[Lineker]

Kolarov hits the woodwork!

Ugh, why mention Piers Morgan? Diiiick.

[Jimmy]

Dzeko(?) should've buried that. Would've been hilarious with a Nasri winner, though.

That was a hell of a fun match to watch! A draw feels right, considering the full 90. Arsenal probably had the better 90, but each team could've easily won it.
