Arsenal have huge net spend, so apparently we’ve “fixed” ours by selling Players to Saudi. His point, however, ignores entirely that very minimal fees were paid for those players.

Wenger did the same back in the day, btw.

The whole world now knows how small time spurs are. It used to be just localised knowledge.

Works well for city, plenty of clubs try less against them because “they dont want a proper club winning it”

Don't forget it was Arsenal fans doing it when we were the ones challenging the cheats. How do you like it now the boot is on the other foot?

I'd still rather your lot won it. At least I can hate you for the right reasons.

If I were in the stands watching Liverpool playing Blackburn with a Liverpool win meaning Manu won the title against Kenny (our greatest ever player) I would still be cheering on Liverpool. If you're not going to support your team at the ground then give your ticket to someone who will.

If ever there was a day that I was going to be cheering on an opponent in a game against us then that day was it.
Our all time hero returns to anfield with his club on a day they could win the league and stop Utd from winning what would’ve been their third in a row and we were nowhere near winning it.
Utd were getting into their stride of winning everything,league in 93 ,double in 94 ,a possible third straight title that day in 95. The media fawning all over them and Ferguson,loving every bit of it as they flew higher and we fell further behind.
I make no apologies for wanting Blackburn and specifically,Kenny to win that day.
He’d been my idol and had won everything with us as player and manager but left us only 4 years earlier,a broken man .so to see him enjoying life and football again ,fresh,fit,healthy,full of joy with the prospect of winning the league (and stopping THEM from winning it)at his spiritual home was a fairytale ending.
It was our wilderness years of the 90s , we didn’t get much joy those days ,just look at what was to come 12 months later in 96 .

Looks like the Unions have forced Labour to go back on their original workers rights policies. No doubt Mandelson will put his head up to moan about it.

Thats good
Got any more details?

I dont suppose Elphicke has had the whip removed ?

Enjoyed watching Arsenal play. City on the other hand, put me to sleep.

Pep can talk all he wants about his net spend now, it’s what they’ve done over the years he should be questioned about.

Lastnight brought back that Iniacho moment, which I 100% believe he purposely missed, and our only defeat in the season where I think Kompany should have gone off for fouling Salah and then that goal line clearance.

Son the fucker, why couldn’t he have missed in 22

Guardiola is a very strange fella. I can't work out if he knows exactly what he is, or not.

What he is, is the perma-tannned, turkey-teethed, trout-pouted, plastic gangsters girlfriend with a 'beauty salon' that's being used as a supposed legitimate front for scumbags to launder their money. Or in Abu Dhabi's case, their odious reputation.

Guardiola is either fully complicit. Willfully ignorant or completely and stupidly naive. I honestly can't work out which it is.

He points to the 'legitimately run' business front, but fails to take into consideration who and what it's funded by.

The clown is a thief. His paymasters are parasites, leeching the lifeblood out of our game and killing it for their own gain. Arsenal will be their latest victims. The game is in a desperate state, while fans of the sport are gaslighted by those who's noses are deeply buried in the trough of dirty cash.

Sky ain't gunna wade into something that could get them into a legal battle with the best team in the league. It stinks but that's how it is.

They don't have to say anything legally contentious, just keep reminding everyone that there are still 115 charges of cheating outstanding against them, which is a simple matter of fact.

What is the reference here?

All said and done, finishing 5th in the league is a good result for a club that finished 8th the year before and lost their captain and star striker in the summer. Why Spurs fans think they should be doing better is beyond me.

I've been leaning to the side of wanting them to win the league on the chance that it might finally start turning the tide against them...

I know many among us are seeing it that way but it's a major delusion. We saw last night that Spurs fans wanted their team to lose. And I was just talking to my colleague, who is a West Ham fan, saying we need his mob to strike a blow for the forces of decency but his reply was that he knows too many Arsenal fans who will crow about it if they win so he would rather City win.

He actually said that theirs is the best team ever and Guardiola the greatest manager ever. I nearly puked.

For the vast majority of fans, whose team are never going to be title contenders anyway, they just don't care about City's cheating. And pipping Arsenal to yet another title won't make a jot of difference to anyone.

Maybe another three or four years of being runners-up might start to bring some Arsenal fans round to our way of thinking but I can't see anyone else being persuaded.

...but fuck it. Let them get to feel what it's like to lose a title on the last day of the season for once. I want to see Pep's face at the final whistle when it's slipped away from him.

Fuck yeah.

Looks like I'm going to be cheering the Hammers more than most of their own fans next weekend. Small-minded pricks.
