Precisely.

Just as Clough said about Leeds half a century ago, everything city have won has been achieved by cheating.

Even they know it, deep down.

Please can we try and maintain higher levels of snide? Me, Hyman, esters, bunks, duckers and BDE Chris have been working overtime lately but we can’t do it 24/7. Thanks.

the only idiotic take was you stating that you weren't sure there is anyone more stupid than the good doctor. it doesn't mean that I think villa have as good as sealed cl. they haven't. you, however, are an idiot. an impotently raging idiot, at that.

Anyway, what has been striking about Arsenal this season is how few results they have had like that one.

How they react to this will determine their season.

so we agree
good to know

Rangers lost at Ross County ffs

What a £#%&!ing state that league is.

Not sure what hurts more: being on Larry’s ignore list, or being SHOWN I’m on Larry’s ignore list

the more they show that watkins goal, the more it looks like an own goal.

I was working on the assumption that 5th gets CL. Different story if it doesn’t, ofcourse. Thought that was fairly obvious, but then Larry came flying in with his studs up so I just left it that.

It’s an impressive scoreline and a huge result for them, so can’t really begrudge their celebration imo

Thanks Nostradamus.

It doesn't matter how they react now. They're two points behind City who will win the next 6 games and win the league.

Arsenal will drop plenty more points. It's done.

£#%&!ing bottle jobs.

Horrible from Arsenal that after a Liverpool #@&%! up. That was Artetas big chance.

They knew it, and that was the problem.

I think there's a balance to be struck between rigid, patterns of attack and letting talented players express themselves.

Arsenal were completely stifled in that 2nd half, firstly because of very good defending by Villa and secondly by their own reluctance to just have a shot, get a cross in or do something that wasn't what Arteta had drilled into them.

You look at City and yes they grind teams down with their patterns and passing and what not. But when that's not working Kevin De Bruyne will just smash one in from 30 yards or Foden drills one in the top corner. Arsenal to me, looked like they were over thinking everything.
