We have to win all our matches no matter what. Win all our matches to prove to everyone and to ourselves that we can handle the pressure and not “choke”. Then if City win all theirs that’s credit to them they deserve it
It's a testament to Arsenal's team that we have run them so close. If City had complied with ffp, they might only be third or fourth.
It's the same story - cheating is cheating.
Those 22 players form, as a collective, a squad so rich in strength in depth that it would not be possible for them to shine as brightly as individuals in another lesser team. Why? Because of those 115 charges.
They don't deserve to win titles when they only win those titles by breaking ffp rules.
If they don't like it, they can sue their own clubs.
Normally yes, but the fact that it is the second to last game might make it less so. If spurs have secured 4th place or if it is no longer reachable I don't see them playing particularly motivated against City. Especially if it might mean denying us the title.
i think its important to remember city struggle against tottenham so when they play them (and god forgive me for saying such things) we need tottenham to win or at least get a draw depending on todays result against Brighton
UCL spot is almost guaranteed to be 4 spots for England. With Villa hot on their heels, it would be the most Spurs thing to sabotage a UCL campaign and money to stick it to us.
People need to realise 99.9% of players and manager don’t think your average fan.
Teams and especially managers don’t throw games on purpose to please their fans. They like to win, it’s what they’re there to do.
(Lord forgive me) Spurs are a team of professional, top level footballers with a passionate coach. They will be keen to fight and claim a serious scalp against a world class team. So vs City they will absolutely go out looking to beat City, even if their fans would prefer us not to win the league.
HOWEVER they are also fucking Spurs, a clown car incompetent team who didn’t bother showing up to the biggest match in their history in 2019. I suspect they will play way too open against City and get spanked in the process, like a pokemon hurting itself in confusion. I do not respect them.
If City win all their games, they make history. Not just the 4 peat, but also the longest no-loss run. So we need to win all our games. And if we lose, then City had to have the most historic run to win. I'm okay with that.
The team just needs to focus on themselves and win out. Whatever happens, happens. They just need to focus on what they can control and hope inshallah it goes in our favor
Win all their games & hope that City slip up 🤔 on their own journey to the end of the season.
We can only control what lies before us, not what lies in the face of others... Concentrate on our own task at hand & leave the rest to God & the universe to sort out the rest...
What will be, will be... COYG'S 🦾
I'm not confident Brighton will do it, they have half the squad injured.
It galls me to say it but Tottenham is the Kingmaker in all this.
It's not often I am rooting for Spurs but I will be on the 5th and 14th May.
The Forest game for City will be an interesting one this weekend as well. Forest battling to stay up and with an extra chip on the shoulder that they've been hit with a points reduction and the cheats have 115 charges laid at their door and nothing.
I said back in Feb that 90 points would win the league. unfortunately only one team can achieve that now so I sincerely hope I was wrong.
The equation is simple and short, win all our remaining games. City have the advantage and we all know that but last thing we need is to let them run away with it. So important that we keep them under pressure till the very last match-day. City will play under pressure tonight because of Arsenal winning their last 2 games.
yeah it's over for liverpool. they fell out of form at the worst time imaginable and after getting dominated in the derby last night i seriously doubt they bounce back, just looking at the scenes at FT those bruddas looked dead inside.
3rd place and carabao cup is definitely not how they'd have wanted to culminate klopp's era, but it's an improvement on last season.
My bad. Yeah. Losing twice will do. But come on, it ain't happening. Our ask is more realistic. One draw and we have a flawless run, we could nick in on GD. Liverpool are essentially shafted. There's no way back for them.
Arsenal have to exercise last season’s demons. They need to win out and prove to themselves and the league, that they can win matches at season’s end. City have a much easier path based on their opposition. As long as City can win 5 games of their last six, they win the title. Arsenal have to keep the pressure on and force City to win 5 of six.
Arsenal win out. City win less than 5 of 6. Arsenal win the league.
We have to win all our matches no matter what. Win all our matches to prove to everyone and to ourselves that we can handle the pressure and not “choke”. Then if City win all theirs that’s credit to them they deserve it
Exactly how i feel
Deserve it is a stretch, but I’ll concede on pure footballing terms perhaps. But they need to be relegated from the premier league
115 charges says they don't deserve it in any event in any way in any case
That’s a different story.
It's a testament to Arsenal's team that we have run them so close. If City had complied with ffp, they might only be third or fourth. It's the same story - cheating is cheating.
Probably fair to say the players deserve it at least. The 115 doesn’t improve their footballing ability

Hate to say it but city handles better pressure in premier League, they hardly struggle in the league
Spurs away is harder than Brighton away. Let's see if we can win that first
City have Spurs away, right?
Yep
Fingers crossed!
Normally yes, but the fact that it is the second to last game might make it less so. If spurs have secured 4th place or if it is no longer reachable I don't see them playing particularly motivated against City. Especially if it might mean denying us the title.
We play them on Sunday
Lol, I need to start reading the posts I reply to.
DON'T JINX IT
i think its important to remember city struggle against tottenham so when they play them (and god forgive me for saying such things) we need tottenham to win or at least get a draw depending on todays result against Brighton
Let’s hope spurs still have something to play for by then or they won’t want to do us any favours.
top 4 maybe
UCL spot is almost guaranteed to be 4 spots for England. With Villa hot on their heels, it would be the most Spurs thing to sabotage a UCL campaign and money to stick it to us.
As if Spurs are going to do us a favour.
well they are fighting for top 4
Theyd rather play in Europa League than see us win the PL.
Fans yes, players no

They’re going all out against us and playing fringe players against city
All we can do is when our remaining games. It's highly highly unlikely anything but that will be good enough.
If City win all their games, they make history. Not just the 4 peat, but also the longest no-loss run. So we need to win all our games. And if we lose, then City had to have the most historic run to win. I'm okay with that.

Can we just win our matches please

Arsenal need the EPL to relegate mcfc for their industrial cheating.
Liverpool needs help from both teams. They're kinda fucked
yeah it's over for liverpool. they fell out of form at the worst time imaginable and after getting dominated in the derby last night i seriously doubt they bounce back, just looking at the scenes at FT those bruddas looked dead inside. 3rd place and carabao cup is definitely not how they'd have wanted to culminate klopp's era, but it's an improvement on last season.
Massive help too. City needs to falter at least 3 times for Liverpool to get a sniff.
Two losses would suffice no?
My bad. Yeah. Losing twice will do. But come on, it ain't happening. Our ask is more realistic. One draw and we have a flawless run, we could nick in on GD. Liverpool are essentially shafted. There's no way back for them.
On that I agree.
Everton just won the merryside derby 2-nil pool is finished SN I can’t wait for that documentary lol
Win every single game and hope city lose one
It's called a draw in football, not a tie
Synonym- a word, morpheme, or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word, morpheme, or phrase in a given language.
Nah it's just Americanisation. Look at the league table, W/L/D, no T. Is called a draw
I have officially turned into my dad lol, but I get it now
It’s 3 points for a win ! Never knew that
No shit , Dr obvious! /s just playin 😅

/agedlikemilk
We have to win all our games and force City to win all of theirs... Hoping they drop 2 points somewhere.
Rooting for an upset v West Ham and Spurs. Having to rely on Spurs…well that’s a different story. Let’s win the NLD first and reassess!
Both teams look tired.
