3 wins in 9 in all comps for Arsenal

Losing Final

Out of FA Cup

Losses in PL

Scraped into next round of CL

Bad timing for a dip in form

He's okay, I suppose. But player of the season? Behave. Much as I detest Bruno Fernandes, he's so far ahead of Rice in terms of individual performances throughout the season, it's frightening. Utd would be mid table without him. I'm biased (aren't we all?), but I'd have Cherki in second place based on the impact he's had since coming to us. That goal today was just Wow!

I don’t like Arteta or the way this Arsenal team go about their football. But we all have to remind ourselves that when another team wins the league instead of the one charged with 115+ breaches, it’s generally a good thing. City aren’t all of a sudden the good guys because Arsenal play boring football and Arteta runs around the place like a manic. It’s bad for the league that City could win another title without possibly being punished properly for all the rule breaking the league itself believes they have engaged in.

The best comparison to him is Jordan Henderson, he's a good solid pro.

I do find it bizarre though about Man Utd and Man City. Must be the only football city in the world, that would rather see their City rivals win a league title, than a club from London. You wouldnt see that anywhere else in the world. Be like Spurs fans wanting Arsenal to win it, Everton wanting Liverpool to win it. Atletico Madrid wanting Real Madrid, etc etc.

That was probably the least surprising result of the season. You don't perform shite for months and then just switch it on at the 11th hour.

I think it pretty clear that Arsenal did not at any point believe that they were going to win that game, and they haven't had belief in winning the title for quite a while now.

Maybe thats just another word for bottle, but champions have to believe they are the biggest dog in the room and Arsenal simply don't. They played today in hope rather than any genuine belief that they would win.

And since a teams self belief comes from the manager, then this collapse comes from the manager and his scared way of playing.

As sad as it sounds, City's biggest opponent is now a points deduction.

I watched the game in the pub today and unfortunately you’re the minority. Not one City fan in sight but the roars for both of their goals were absolutely sickening. I didn’t cheer on Pool for their league wins but I absolutely did not at any point cheer on City either. Pathetic behaviour

Nobody will give a **** about City then either.

3 out of 4 games next for Arsenal are at home

3 out of 4 games next for City are away from home

Next 2 at home for Arsenal

Next 2 away for City

If Arsenal fail to put Newcastle and Fulham away at home, they don't deserve it

Not one city fan, much like the stadium.

No1 gives a shite about city, 115 charges for a reason so people just tend to be whatever, cheat the way to it.

Arsenal fans are a different story though. Not anyone on boards but online media would make you not want them to win it.

It's potentially a goal difference race now!

In a busy Premiership weekend, what a good job Perriera is doing at Forest, they really have a strong team, maybe lacking depth, but that first team is good.

I think Forest, finally, got a manager who suits the squad and has backed their team to try and play some football, he is exactly what they were looking for when they got rid of Nuno only to make 2 terrible appointments. Keep winning in Europe and stay up and it could be the best season Forest have had since the 80’s.

What a bleak weekend it was for Spurs.
