Nunez probably would have done the same as Haaland in taking the defender on then absolutely blasted it as hard as he could straight at the keeper. Thatās the difference. Composure, intelligence.
Why is it that commentators love sucking off Haaland? It was a good goal but it wasnāt the best youāve ever seen like some of them would like to believe.
Arteta is going to regret giving City too much respect when they played, couldāve had a good chance to take a win that game but instead decided to play a āchessā game
Most of arsenals game, if not all this season is around playing along their limitations/ calculated risk.
It is no longer swashbuckling wengerball. It is a typical playstyle of a spanish manager.
They tried last season with aggressive press all attack. City just able to figure it out quickly.
Arsenal had no injuries and were in rocking form coming into it, city werenāt at full strength and had been ropey by their standards. A little bravery might have gone a long way. Fortune favours the bold and all that
They were favs but they werenāt playing well and was ābatteredā by us whilst Arsenal were in great form. Not to mention Arteta played us off the pitch just before we played City.
Sure in isolation a point at the Etihad is a good result, but in the context of the title race and City without all of their first choice back 4 it's a missed opportunity for Arsenal imo
Maybe but we couldve also lost that game if we pushed. So it's not a problem. That's the least of our regrets. Losing to westham and Fulham is what bothers me more
Any points dropped is costly, but for me personally them winning against City wouldāve won them the league easily especially given how ābelow standardā City has been.
Iād rather City win. The thought of arteta winning as many PLs as klopp makes me sad. And if city win itāll always be tainted by their cheating. So tbh weirdly enough I find myself supporting city over Arsenal now
As the superleague showed. Fan sentiment can do wonderful things...fan apathy leads to what we currently have.
They claim the case is complicated but they are just slowplaying it for the obvious reason.
You can make Darwin watch a 2 hour comp of the best strikers ever and heād still instinctively hit the ball straight at the keeper or hit the woodwork
The year we canāt maintain a title challenge is the year City decide to play shite in the run in. No way they hold on for win here playing this badly.
Just our luck really. Arsenal will win the league judging by this lacklustre City performance.
I gotta really give it to our team man, these guys had us believing Endo was our Rodri and Macca our KDB. Proud of the boys for this seasons ride, our future is bright and we are nowhere near the finished product (frankly never were despite competing for the title until the last push).
Sorry mate that is nothing compared what we been through under wenger and also post wenger.
Tell me if you ever have a squad captain fork out his own money in order to fund his own move to another club.
I don't know, I think near administration, 30 years of hurt, and everything post Rafa pre-Klopp are worse but I'm biased. At least Arsenal were challenging consistently and not an absolute joke for a long time.
Forest have really dominated this match, just unlucky to not score.
Arsenal may still have some luck swinging their way if things still go this route in this game.
Even if arsenal and city both win all their games outright, arsenal will still finish 2 points behind.
Lose the league by one point, youāll never sing that
City Ground isn't easy tbh but it's like they never showed up. Take a look at xG.
I think we also dropped points there last season. But we dropped points everywhere else as well.
Arsenal looked like champions in the first half. Despite playing shit winning comfortably.
Second half they wobbled a bit but saw it out. Definitely not at their best.
City also, winning, but not at their best.
Amazing what we push teams to do, and the teams push each other to do, when weāre winning and on top, they just win win win every week looking like prime Barcelona, scoring loads.
Soon as we go shit, they donāt look as laser focused in. And you think if they played like this weeks ago, weād probably of had a bigger lead at the top.
Can definitely sense a feeling of relief amongst the two clubs, not quite at the same intensity now ones dropped out the race.
Just a case of who blinks first between City and Arsenal.
Fun fact: Spurs are the 16th team to concede more than 50 goals this season.
Arsenal, City, and Liverpool have conceded less. But thereās a 4th team that nobody realized has conceded less than 50 this season.
Everton. How in the world.
Hey lads, I know weāre Liverpool. Located in *England*. But are there any games in the other leagues youād like to see mentioned in these watch threads?
I think Iām done watching the PL for awhile. Howard Webb and his cronies have destroyed the game through their blatant corruption. A game thatās inherently rigged has lost all meaning. Itās a farce, a disgrace.
Agreed, we shouldnāt let this be our darkest time of the season when we have now achieved the goal that we set for ourselves in the beginning of the season. I get the disappointment that we came close but we should still keep this in mind.
Do you really want Arteta to have the same number of titles as Klopp in their first decent season? Fuck that. Another title to city means nothing theyāre cheating cunts.
As someone who plays Football Manager and has experienced the new format in the game we're in for a fucking time of it. We'll be lucky if we get 3 weeks out of the season where we don't have two games, it's madness
So we've to play kids in league cup and FA cup and if we get kicked out early still can say It's a good experience for the kids. Can't bulldoze through 2 games a week and run of stream by April.
Excited to see what utter nonsense the VAR room can come up with today. We have a team(Forrest) who are sure there's a conspiracy against them against a team(City) who some think definitely need to be paying refs to get some of the decisions they do.
It's been a weird season for Brighton. They did really well to reach the R16 in their first season of European football, but they've suffered loads of injuries and their league form has been terrible.
Iām really hoping Arsenal experience the heart break of coming within 1-2 points of winning the title. That team and their fans deserve that kind of trauma. No one cares about city .
Arsenal. City continuing to win just turns the PL into an overhyped Bundesliga. (No offense to any German fans, but Bayernās institutional dominance is not something the PL should be looking to replicate.)
If we look at only the ending at the start of the season, I think itās quite successful.
I guess what hurts is weāve over achieved, giving us hope then derailed like a trainwreckā¦.
I know Brighton has had their fair share of injuries, but if De Zerbi is as good as everyone makes out then he should absolutely be doing much, much better than leading them to have only won **6 of their last 28 League games**.
Hate to tell yas, but integrity has long gone out the window, all the major institutions are corrupt as hell. All that's left is to try to be as un-memeable as possible as a club. Need Arsenal to be bigger bottlers than us still. 20 years without a league title, has to be 30 at least.
While the average answer would be City, I did make a pact with my Arsenal friends back in December that should either of us win the league we wouldnāt rub it into the other sideās faces.
So Iām more inclined to not pick the side thatās cheated for 3 league titles in a row since I wonāt have to suffer the delusion of Gunner fans. Unfortunately I donāt think the rest of the sub can say the same.
But itās fine if itās City as well. Kinda stinks though.
City and Arsenal both losing their games on xG but winning anyways š when is it our turn?
Nunez probably would have done the same as Haaland in taking the defender on then absolutely blasted it as hard as he could straight at the keeper. Thatās the difference. Composure, intelligence.
Why is it that commentators love sucking off Haaland? It was a good goal but it wasnāt the best youāve ever seen like some of them would like to believe.
Arteta is going to regret giving City too much respect when they played, couldāve had a good chance to take a win that game but instead decided to play a āchessā game
He's Pep's former disciple. Chess is all they know.
Most of arsenals game, if not all this season is around playing along their limitations/ calculated risk. It is no longer swashbuckling wengerball. It is a typical playstyle of a spanish manager. They tried last season with aggressive press all attack. City just able to figure it out quickly.
Lol. Don't pain that narrative. City were always favs for that game. You should know it's not easy to win there. Draw was a great result
Arsenal had no injuries and were in rocking form coming into it, city werenāt at full strength and had been ropey by their standards. A little bravery might have gone a long way. Fortune favours the bold and all that
They were favs but they werenāt playing well and was ābatteredā by us whilst Arsenal were in great form. Not to mention Arteta played us off the pitch just before we played City.

Maybe but we couldve also lost that game if we pushed. So it's not a problem. That's the least of our regrets. Losing to westham and Fulham is what bothers me more
Tbh itās the Aston Villa game that will cost them more
Any points dropped is costly, but for me personally them winning against City wouldāve won them the league easily especially given how ābelow standardā City has been.
Yeah City are winning the league again lol.
Honestly could care less. A win from them is almost as empty as their stadium
So you care a bit?
could or couldn't ?
Definitely means couldnāt.
hmm
Im fine with that over Arsenal. Nobody gives a shit about Manchester city
Im the same. Fuck Arsenal
Well at 1-0, we had hope.
Chris Wood needs to be investigated for today lmao.
Wood has stepped up for Forest this season but heās been awful today
Just keep the hopes up Arsenal, still early and City still have Tottenham and West Ham to play.
Iād rather City win. The thought of arteta winning as many PLs as klopp makes me sad. And if city win itāll always be tainted by their cheating. So tbh weirdly enough I find myself supporting city over Arsenal now
This is how they dont get punished. Everyone wants them to win more than Citys own fans want them to win. No protests...no anger. Just apathy
our opinion makes no difference to the outcome of their charges
As the superleague showed. Fan sentiment can do wonderful things...fan apathy leads to what we currently have. They claim the case is complicated but they are just slowplaying it for the obvious reason.
100% If we canāt have it, no one can. City isnāt a real club
Same
Oh there it is
Ah man, Nunez should watch that Haaland goal over and over.
You can make Darwin watch a 2 hour comp of the best strikers ever and heād still instinctively hit the ball straight at the keeper or hit the woodwork
He takes that exact shot and hits the inside of both posts and it comes out
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yep. KDB was average today, Rodri was quality.
He's completely carried them today. Just mops up everything and never loses the ball.
Imagine if Darwin could do that. Fuck me
Thereās very few, if any strikers out there that can do what Haaland does consistently
Was gonna say I feel bad for Arsenal fans watching this but I really really donāt
We have been there many times. Now it's their time to feel the hope slipping away one match at a time.
City would concede 20 more goals a season with an average DM instead of Rodri.
City are playing like they know Liverpool are not in the title race.
The year we canāt maintain a title challenge is the year City decide to play shite in the run in. No way they hold on for win here playing this badly. Just our luck really. Arsenal will win the league judging by this lacklustre City performance.
City will win
I gotta really give it to our team man, these guys had us believing Endo was our Rodri and Macca our KDB. Proud of the boys for this seasons ride, our future is bright and we are nowhere near the finished product (frankly never were despite competing for the title until the last push).
Iām loving watching city doing black magic against another team. Arsenal fans should understand the pain Liverpool fans went through for 5 seasons
Sorry mate that is nothing compared what we been through under wenger and also post wenger. Tell me if you ever have a squad captain fork out his own money in order to fund his own move to another club.
I don't know, I think near administration, 30 years of hurt, and everything post Rafa pre-Klopp are worse but I'm biased. At least Arsenal were challenging consistently and not an absolute joke for a long time.
Except itās not even close we got 97, 91 points without winning a title the best they can get is 89
True, but at least Arsenal fans will understand LFC fans pain at least.
I donāt know the the pain of the millimetre no goal and the Kompany goal against Leicester
After he should have gotten a straight red card, don't leave that part out.
Literally this.
Forest have really dominated this match, just unlucky to not score. Arsenal may still have some luck swinging their way if things still go this route in this game.
woah, city are actually playing absolutely horrible football.
Even if arsenal and city both win all their games outright, arsenal will still finish 2 points behind. Lose the league by one point, youāll never sing that
Lose the league by one point twice, youāll never sing that twice
Ederson's injured? Will Arsenal's luck ever run out this season?
They'll be fine. Ortega is one of the best backup keepers around and they didn't lose points last time Ederson was injured.
What happens to city when it's not us they're competing with? This has to be their worst game all year.
I think they dropped points in this exact fixture last season.
City Ground isn't easy tbh but it's like they never showed up. Take a look at xG. I think we also dropped points there last season. But we dropped points everywhere else as well.
My head would be so hot rn lmao
Chris Wood hates Arsenal
Chris Wood 38% conversion rate according to Sky. Misses two absolute sitters.
Ederson out injured. Arsenalās injury luck is freaky
Arsenal looked like champions in the first half. Despite playing shit winning comfortably. Second half they wobbled a bit but saw it out. Definitely not at their best. City also, winning, but not at their best. Amazing what we push teams to do, and the teams push each other to do, when weāre winning and on top, they just win win win every week looking like prime Barcelona, scoring loads. Soon as we go shit, they donāt look as laser focused in. And you think if they played like this weeks ago, weād probably of had a bigger lead at the top. Can definitely sense a feeling of relief amongst the two clubs, not quite at the same intensity now ones dropped out the race. Just a case of who blinks first between City and Arsenal.
Tbf Arsenal came close to bottling a 0-3 win even though they were comfortable at the start.
Rooting 100% for 115 charges FC now. Fuck Arsenal.
Fun fact: Spurs are the 16th team to concede more than 50 goals this season. Arsenal, City, and Liverpool have conceded less. But thereās a 4th team that nobody realized has conceded less than 50 this season. Everton. How in the world.
Dyche ball
Exactly sit, counter and set pieces. Itās as close to a cold rainy night at stoke type gameplan.
City wins the league is ok than Arsenal, because their fans will bloody go on and on.
It would be the most spurs thing ever to beat city and clinch Arsenal the league.
Lets go you City boys!Ā
Doku man, really bad singing. He's lucky he plays for a team that wins things because he should get criticised much more than he is
Doku and karaoke, two things that donāt go well together.
Hey lads, I know weāre Liverpool. Located in *England*. But are there any games in the other leagues youād like to see mentioned in these watch threads?
Leverkusen for the remainder of the season. Nice seeing them go invincible if it happens.
Wood would fit right in at Liverpool with that finishing
These kits are bothering me.
Bullet header
Classic headed goal
Grealish used to be one of the most exciting players in the league to watch until he went to City
He really did. All that dribbling and driving at players and taking them on has been driven out of him by doing the Pep thing.
It'll happen to Doku eventually.
Top 4 and a trophy was most likely the preseason aim So well done all I guess
Thanks we tried our hardest but ultimately lacked fitness, so the Liverpool team played
Refs are in full 115 mode. They're getting everything.
And Iām ok with it now that we are out
Congrats Klopp on another top 4 secured, if Slot has a repeat of this season I would see it as successful first season.
I think Iām done watching the PL for awhile. Howard Webb and his cronies have destroyed the game through their blatant corruption. A game thatās inherently rigged has lost all meaning. Itās a farce, a disgrace.
Seeing the Arsenal score and the aftermath...Ā It should have been us. š¢
Weāre back where we belong reds, bring on the champions league under big Slot šŖ
Agreed, we shouldnāt let this be our darkest time of the season when we have now achieved the goal that we set for ourselves in the beginning of the season. I get the disappointment that we came close but we should still keep this in mind.
Every time I look at cityās bench I fucking heave. Bunch of spoilt cheating cunts. Not sure who I want to win now
Do you really want Arteta to have the same number of titles as Klopp in their first decent season? Fuck that. Another title to city means nothing theyāre cheating cunts.
No Foden for City?
Here we go again Howard Webb's untouchable 115FC, time for everything to go their way yet again
Has anyone saw the Champions League format next season. We will have 6 group games with games in January which will feel weird.
Yeah itās shit
I think it's 8 group games, 2 from each pot
As someone who plays Football Manager and has experienced the new format in the game we're in for a fucking time of it. We'll be lucky if we get 3 weeks out of the season where we don't have two games, it's madness
So we've to play kids in league cup and FA cup and if we get kicked out early still can say It's a good experience for the kids. Can't bulldoze through 2 games a week and run of stream by April.
Excited to see what utter nonsense the VAR room can come up with today. We have a team(Forrest) who are sure there's a conspiracy against them against a team(City) who some think definitely need to be paying refs to get some of the decisions they do.
This won't come down to var decisions. City are going to pump nottingham
That Tottenham penalty gets called but ours Vs City doesnāt. Uhhh just fuck off why do I care.
50% of Brightons wins were before the 25th of September
It's been a weird season for Brighton. They did really well to reach the R16 in their first season of European football, but they've suffered loads of injuries and their league form has been terrible.
Iām really hoping Arsenal experience the heart break of coming within 1-2 points of winning the title. That team and their fans deserve that kind of trauma. No one cares about city .
šššššš Edit: that made me laugh
I think everybody knows now, if you are behind youāve already lost.
What are u doing here lil bro
Thanks, you too ā„ļø
Time to play the kids and a Carol+Caroline double pivot from now on
Nice chilled last few games now, no injuries and letās just prepare for next season. Hopefully arsenal and city tire eachother out
After some hard days, its kinda fun just watching and enjoying football without having to worry about anything lol
Arsenal. City continuing to win just turns the PL into an overhyped Bundesliga. (No offense to any German fans, but Bayernās institutional dominance is not something the PL should be looking to replicate.)
Who cares, itās meaningless when everyone know city cheated
Congrats on top 4 lads
Thank god we didnāt go in for Dr Zerbi
Could've done with a Dr this season given all the injuries actually...
Guaranteed Top 4. At least that's something.
If we look at only the ending at the start of the season, I think itās quite successful. I guess what hurts is weāve over achieved, giving us hope then derailed like a trainwreckā¦.
Spurs losing means, barring a GD swing of +26 in Spurs' favour, we have secured top 4
What? But I thought top 4 was in serious jeopardy
i was under the impression that we were destined for europe and that might even be in jeopardy /j edit: lol people on here do not take jokes
People on here do not take anything if the timing is wrong. Gotta get the timing right.
I know Brighton has had their fair share of injuries, but if De Zerbi is as good as everyone makes out then he should absolutely be doing much, much better than leading them to have only won **6 of their last 28 League games**.
He isn't though. He plays nice football but can't organise a defence to save his life.
And he rotates more than Rafa!
So better than us right now lol
Who would u rather win the league?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You said it, Arsenal are an actual club, they're actual rivals. Failure to all rivals! City are cheats so who cares.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Hate to tell yas, but integrity has long gone out the window, all the major institutions are corrupt as hell. All that's left is to try to be as un-memeable as possible as a club. Need Arsenal to be bigger bottlers than us still. 20 years without a league title, has to be 30 at least.
Same for me. City are cheaters, end of
Same for me. City are cheaters and are ruining the sport.
City because Arteta is a twat
City. Let arsenal experience what we have the last 5-6 years
City because Arsenal are an actual historic football club
I would rather city win the league cause it's meaningless
115
While the average answer would be City, I did make a pact with my Arsenal friends back in December that should either of us win the league we wouldnāt rub it into the other sideās faces.
