If they’d been properly punished, we’d have had Champions League on two occasions. Granted we also messed it up ourselves. Plus, do Manchester City fans exist outside of Manchester at this point? I know literally none. I have so many Arsenal supporting friends and you can’t go anywhere without bumping into Arsenal fans. Striking up a conversation with a random: Me - ”Hi” Stranger “Hi” Me - “How’s it going”?

Daft! Shows what you know.... everyone knows when defending a lead late in the game a good manager checks his notebook and brings on a clumsy striker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the new upcoming "big club". In 20 years time they'll be all over. Arsenal/Liverpool/Man Utd fans are all over because they've always been a big club. Makes me laugh when people try and pretend all Man City fans are just from Manchester. Every time I've been to an away game there, their fans are piling out of Manchester Picadilly station as much as our fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayfox26 Posted 23 January 2023 Share Posted 23 January 2023 I 100% want Arsenal to win the league. So boring Man C winning it every year and Pep is unbearable. I actually enjoy watching Arsenal they play some lovely football. Man C games are often very boring. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have left in the summer though if a bid came in and probably would have before then, but now will probably sign a new contract end up with no champions league football next season and with conte most likely to leave and spurs won’t spend massive amounts to add to their squad seems a bit of a waste for him to stay .

Popular Post Finnegan Posted 23 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 23 January 2023 (edited) Oh and regards who I'd rather win the league. I don't actually hate Arsenal or care much about them and their fans. But the petty, vindictive part of me would find it very amusing if they bottle it and drop off the pace. Just because all we ever heard all year long in the title winning season was about how little Leicester would never keep it up and they'd fall off eventually and they'd never actually win it, etc etc. Especially from North Londoners. Seeing them do exactly that with their first opportunity in a long ass time would be kinda satisfying.

There are a few there who might yet justify their fee (Antony, Fofana, Grealish, Mudryk) - remembering that it took Mahrez a couple of seasons to get going at Man City. But they might not. To date, Van Dijk is the only one listed who remotely justifies the spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To date, Van Dijk is the only one listed who remotely justifies the spend. Grealish is trending in the opposite direction. Looks a lot like a rare signing Pep didn't want and felt obligated to play. IMO Man City signed him to address their poor image problem and felt the money was worth while to get in England's arguably most popular player at the time. He played him more first season than he usually does new players. Lots of his signings get introduced slowly until they learn his way of playing. He didn't, he got lobbed straight in and now the novelty has declined he's getting much less game time and I've even seen rumours they'd consider selling him. He's just not good enough for them and he's never really been a Pep type player. Antony and Fofana should come good for their sides but I don't see how they'll end up justifying those prices to be honest. And Mudryk. I mean that's just baffling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah you're always probably having to activate release clauses of Bilbao players due to how they operate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
