We did alright until their goal and should have done better on the second to keep ourselves in the game but otherwise it's a case of what do you expect. 

Don't care how salty I sound, there's just something so uniquely dislikeable about City that you could never level at even Man Utd or Liverpool. A cynical, passionless organisation, boring style of play and they've established an effective monopoly over English football because they got their billionaires in before FFP pulled up the drawbridge. Obviously great at what they do but christ does their existence suck the fun out of the league and the sport when your team plays against and you're forced to be reminded of their existence.

Bang on. They are both detestable & utterly forgettable all at the same time.

The weekend doesn't change much for us overall as long as Liverpool don't let Leicester beat them tomorrow. We would go into the last two games out of the bottom three and with the most favourable remaining fixtures as long as Leicester don't win.

You mean a protractor. No wonder you were in set 5 maths. 

That’s just a fancy way to say condom, we know our stuff in set 5

[Bluebird Hewitt]

How has Martinelli not even be booked there?

You are part of the City group  ..we are giving you money to try compete while City is funded by prize money, 300million this season alone if we do the treble

Not seen the game but saw the handball for Ings’ goal. Clear handball, you can’t jump a foot or so off the ground, have your fist in line with your face and claim it to be a natural jumping position.

Pickford smashes Haaland in the face, no pen 

Coudlnt work that one out. Player does that to a keeper and it's an easy foul.

Spot on, you do that to a keeper and your in the book at least

Forgot to say, did the commentator in our game really say "it's all about quality not quantity with City, they don't have the greatest squad depth but the players they do have are top quality" or something to that effect. 

City have two lineups who could win the title or get damned close. Meanwhile their opposition today had to resort to having two goalkeepers and a youth team player on a bench of 9. Even their closest rivals Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd struggle to fill their benches with bona-fide first team players. 

[Danny]

Haha go on Roy. Bet someone was in the presenters ear the moment he said that

[Danny]

Fucking hell they have a drum at the emirates? haha terrible

[Inverted]

For a team that in theory should be going for it and trying to win every game, Arsenal players are so bad for going down and seeking treatment. 

Jesus falling over when Steele hits him with a kick at 0-0 just sums it up. 

Just play and try and win the game ffs. There's something off about that team, mentally.

[Stan]

Trossard might as well have scored an own goal.

What's wrong with a drum? 

[Danny]

Arsenal fans dont deserve the league. Not the first time theyve left early towards the end of this season instead of staying to support the team on. Theyve left with ten minutes to spare

terrible atmosphere

Specifically its repetitive and monotonous and ruins the emotion of an atmosphere

[Stan]

Arsenal gift-wrapping the title to Man City. 

Not sure what Ramsdale was doing there. Seemed a simple save to not put at the feet of a Brighton player. 

[Lucas]

Ah right, so Brighton beat Man Utd and Arsenal and then chuck in bullshit performances v Forest and Everton.

Got it. 

[Lucas]

Oh, and that's Arsenal probably rolling over at Forest next week then too.

[Danny]

Arsenal just don’t have the depth and ultimately that is what’s got to them this season. Options at left back, centre back, right back, centre mid, right wing and up front are just too limited. Ramsdale is too limited as a keeper as well.

[Inverted]

City are going to win it by 8+ points I feel.

People years from now will look back and it will be on the record as another title that City won comfortably. 

[Happy Blue]

1 win from 3 games for the top prize in football

Arsenal fans will come back at you with the percentage of how many days they spent at the top of the league though. As if that counts for anything

 

[Danny]

Great to see Brighton get this win though, shut Arsenal out completely and had the quality on the counter. Will be good to see Brighton in the Europa next season

Yeah that's the crazy thing, it's felt like there was a proper title race but the final table doesn't lie.

It's going to end up as not looking very competitive. It was a mirage, ultimately.
