Arsenal

[Norbs]

City aren’t good enough or consistent enough, I think Arsenal may stumble over the line like we did last season by virtue of having such a strong start. It’s infuriating seeing this and knowing if we remotely had our **** together we’d win the league

I disagree that we stumbled over the line. We won at a canter and absolutely left for the beach. Had we been chasing the title we were on for mid 90s in points. We only got 2pts from the last 4 games and still won it by 10pts. Even after losing to PSG we managed 12 from 15 to secure the title.

Arsenal can still get to 91pts but my guess is that they'll end up on around 80. They'll celebrate it and history will wank over the fact that they have generally underachieved. There's a good chance they win it with 10 less points than they got 2 years ago

I’m not sure. Agreed on City’s flaws, the difference to us was we had no one pushing us.

Think Arsenal might **** the bed

I don't know. They are not good this yr but at least they try and win.

Think arsenal maybe experiencing what we have this season.. Solid team but quite a lot of early fortune to edge tight games. That looks to have run it's course and more draws... and now mentally they have to hold it together.. think they may retreat more which would be worse for them and mean a lot more draws. Where city may lose a couple but will win more games..

Football in general, club and international levels are at the lowest standards that I can ever remember.

He is short circuiting.

They are ****ting the bed.

I mean, his English is better than my Spanish but his brain left the building long before the lips stopped moving on that one.

Part of his presser after the draw with Wolves

That's the reality. And that's obviously credit to Wolves, and we never want to underestimate that, but I think we played a big part in that. And as I said, that's a very basic thing, a very simple thing that we did really wrong.

And that's why we had the feeling, without really considering much, but the moment is always the game open to anything that can happen.

Sorry what?

£300 thousand of your English pounds per week for Saka.

7 goals in 33 games this season.
12 goals in 37 last.

Best ever season 20 in 47.

Most ever league goals 16.

He’s good… but they’ve given him an elite contract with the hope he will deliver elite numbers. I’m not convinced. 4 goals and 5 assists in the league this season is less than Salah has in the worst season he’s had in his career by miles.

Naaa surely losing the final, will ramp up the pressure- winning a trophy would get the monkey off their back to an extent…

Lose it and doubt will creep in- they’ll believe city are better and are right on their tails.. also facing the prospect of another trophy-less season..

Ooh I like this logic - I'm on board with this train of thought

Yep & let their fans turn on Lego Head

In a way, if they got a bruising win against Man City in the Caravan Cup, that might ramp the pressure up even more and see them **** the bed.

Just get the feeling that if City lost the final, then when they host arsenal in the league 3 weeks later that Pep could use that defeat to rouse his players

There is a scenario where Arsenal win nothing as well. Which would be lovely too.

Would be beautiful to get them in the next round of the fa Cup at anfield

Greatest Team in footballing history is 4 points ahead of a team that had an iffy season so far.
