Topic: Arsenal: Top of the divers league

[Tonyh8su]

So Arne Slot at Liverpool …. A bit of a a left field appointment isnt it , not one of the names everyone been touting around.

Hope he gets more time than people here were prepared to give Arteta. Tough audience.

You were on here calling for his head yourself.

They just showed on sky the last time Everton beat Liverpool at Goodison…..

Its only Arteta scoring with a belter from outside the box!

Nuke this thread and the fools somehow allowed to keep posting here.

[Lone Star Red]

If we can’t win it, hope they go on and do it.

[BobPaisley3]

If we can’t win it, hope they go on and do it.

Mixed feelings, Arteta having the same league titles as Klopp would be slightly hard to believe.

[DiggerJohn]

Its tough who's the bigger gobshite pep or arteta

That’s unfortunately the price to pay for going up against a sportswashing machine.

[The North Bank]

Itll be us this year, missing out on the final day to the cheats. We needed to be ahead of them now(with equal games played)

[rob1966]

Hope ADFC win it now. This cheating corrupt fucking disgrace of a league deserves cheating c*nts as its champions.

[Crosby Nick]

If we’re talking onfield, they’ll get that either way.

I’d like to be the bigger person and wish Arsenal luck but not sure I can watch from here, not that I was really watching before.

[JRed]

Hope ADFC win it now. This cheating corrupt fucking disgrace of a league deserves cheating c*nts as its champions.

I’m edging towards that.
Ultimately I’m not really arsed who wins it if we don’t. I hate what football has become and yes it does deserve cheating c*nts as champions.
More than that tho, I just don’t want to see that prick Arteta lift the trophy.

[ScottishGoon]

The way I feel about the football gods just now, is that they would be quite happy to have Everton and Spurs as local rivals, be the teams that feck up the title challenges and allow City to win the league.

We fecked up the title challenge long before last night, but it is true that our rivals certainly have it in for us far more than City's do. United roll over and have their bellies tickled time and again and would sooner see their neighbours win over us. Weird behaviour.

I think you’re winning it this year. City will drop points I reckon. I do think Arsenal deserve to win it, having been the best team…and I hope they do if I’m honest. Good luck, you’ll probably need a bit along the way.

[Zlen]

Good luck to resident Gunners, I'll be glad if you win the title. Mostly because you deserve it, but also because your club isn't destroying football. You have learned a lot of lessons from last season, paired with some good luck with injuries and the step-up in efficiency and control has been exemplary. If you manage to do some smart business in the summer and add a ruthless finisher to this side - you could stay on top for years. Best of luck.  

[deano2727]

Another meaningless win for the cheats, please. Don''t want these shithouses or their fans anywhere near success.

Nobody cared when we were getting pipped to the title on the final day of the season by the cheats, now it's time for them to taste their own medicine.

We all know City's titles have a big dirty asterix beside them. Arsenal winning wouldn't. Plus, they'd be the only team to actually beat a City side led by Pep to the title in a title race to the end. No thanks.

[Zlen]

That's just petty.
It's not Arsenal we should wish failure upon - it's Manchester City.
If I suffer it doesn't make me feel any better if another person does as well.

[deano2727]

It does when they were all willing on the suffering and failure and revelling in it. As was the case. F*ck them.

City winning means nothing to me, and it shouldn't to anyone else either. They're cheating.

I definitely don't want Legohead and this Arsenal team being the only team to beat Pep's Abu Dhabi to a title in May - eclipsing our wonderful team in some ways. Yeah, no chance.

[Red_Mist]

That’s precisely why I’d like to see Arsenal win it. The City stranglehold needs breaking, obviously would’ve loved us to be the ones to do it (and we did to be fair) but whoever it is needs to do it for the good of football. Arsenal win the league and City are suddenly beatable. It needs to happen. Break the spell.

[The North Bank]

Every season things just fall nicely into place for the cheats. Last season we were top and then had a very similar run to liverpools now at the same time of the season (we drew 3 and lost 1, Liverpool won 1 drawn 1 lost 2) that dropped us out of the race last season and Liverpool this season.
This time round weve been nearly perfect in 2024, but one inept performance at home to villa and they just sneaked in again to control their destiny. Now they only have the league to concentrate on, fa cup final is after the season ends and they have no CL distractions and a very fresh squad given their depth.
I feel to ultimately win it wed need a season like the one Liverpool had were we storm ahead and open a 15 point gap to break them.
We still have a chance and must keep winning but Spurs will be as determined as Everton were last night, and when they host city they’ll celebrate their goals like they did against united in 99.
They’re as bitter as Everton and would happily choose being out of CL if it means we dont win the league (judging by how giddy and relieved they were when we lost to villa).

Its a tall order, Sunday is huge.

In your head City winning means nothing. In reality it means that with every new title, every single trophy of any kind they collect, their level of immunity to prosecution rises. They get more supporters, they are considered beyond even questioning by the media. That is what actually happens when they win. Even looking ahead to thier 115 hearing, it's not the same to deliver a verdict on 'a team' or on 'current champions'. It just isn't. So for whatever resentment you might have against Arsenal fans (and they were far from being only ones or even close to being the worst) hoping we lose - it doesn't even remotely justify willing the literal Death of Football FC making further history and cementing their place.

Sorry, not buying that. If they're guilty, they're guilty. Being Champions or not won't impact that. More corruption in the form of bribes (or really good lawyers finding loopholes) could impact it, but that could happen if they're champions or not.

If anything City winning year after year in a league that was never that way should raise more questions.

Anyway, everyone is entitled to their opinion on who they prefer to win. You have yours, I have mines.I've given my reasons, you've given yours. Mostly, it's shite it won't be us.

[The North Bank]

If we finish second thatll be back to back titles weve been cheated out of. When is that fucking hearing anyway, or are they waiting for a season when city win nothing so they can punish them without affecting any major outcomes.

[Zlen]

Only it hasn't.
It has done the opposite.
It has almost completely wiped out the conversation about how they got there from the mainstream media.

Any trophy they pick up will keep doing the same.
Any trophy they win will make the PL more lenient towards them because they became a cornerstone of the holy fucking 'brand'.

Only thing I wish they win is some jail time and public humiliation.

[Red_Mist]

At the end of the day, I couldn’t bring myself to hope the cheats win a game of tiddlywinks let alone the league title. The sheer injustice of it makes you want to vomit.  I get the reasons why some want them to do it. But it ain’t for me sorry 

[deano2727]

Maybe I'm just too spiteful, but nobody was championing justice when we lost to the cheats after putting up incredible seasons that this Arsenal team won't get close to. I don't intend to be the better person here. Maybe that makes me petty, but I'm sticking with it.

I'm with you Deano. BLUUUUUEEEE MOOON

[JackWard33]

Hope Arsenal win it now we’re not going to - they’ve been clearly the best team in the league this season

[lobsterboy]

We know only to well the toll it takes on a team and the manager chasing 115 every season.
Arsenal are only just finding out how hard it is.
It takes so much out of a team just to continue having to win 95+ points season after season to compete with cheats.
Saudi will be appearing in the rear view mirror as well.

Same here.

Also, the thread title says a lot about the plastics from North London (paying people to wave flags ffs)

[Trotterwatch]

If we can't win the league(and let's face it, it's highly unlikely) I hope Arsenal do.  They've been brilliant this season, playing proper football and aren't out and out cheats like City.

[LallanaInPyjamas]

The way I feel about the football gods just now, is that they would be quite happy to have Everton and Spurs as local rivals, be the teams that feck up the title challenges and allow City to win the league. 

This is why winning titles is far harder for clubs like Arsenal, United, Spurs and especially us than it will ever be for teams like City, Chelsea and Leicester. No one gives a f*ck about them winning the league. Whereas when we go to the Etihad, Goodison and Old Trafford every season, that's their biggest game and the one they want to win (or stop us winning) the most.

The Manchester derby has turned into a pathetic non-entity for example, United haven't even made it difficult for City when it actually matters and while there has been a gulf between the two teams, I genuinely think it's because in the back of their minds they see it as the lesser of two evils.

Maybe i'm a bit bitter about how we've been fucked over by refs once again, but Arsenal fucking loved it when ADFC pipped us to titles, so fuck em, I'd like to see them get it back - a last day heartbreak as ADFC/115 charges beats a team whose 1st choice keeper refused to play would be lovely thank you.

Arsenal are a proper club, them winning it, in an ideal world where they'd railed against the cheats, would be ideal, but they're only crying now because it affects them, if they were 6th, they'd be fucking laughing at us.

I fucking hate modern football

[DiggerJohn]

Maybe City win the next 5 EPL titles in a row viewing figures go down and the financial hit will force the authorities to do something about it finally. I don't hold much hope on this 115 charges but nothing changes road

That is the problem, no one cries about it until it affects them. Every other fan base will say the same thing *it doesnt matter when city win it so I hope they win it every season until we are good again” “it hurts more when a proper club wins it because it shows up our failures “

Everything working into city’s hands.

Thing is and none of them see it, it affects every club and has been doing so for over a decade. They got relegated in 96 and took until 99/00 to get back, they then either flirted with relegation or finsihed mid table. Since the financil doping started, Utd have missed out on titles, you have now missed a title, they probably cost you CL when you needed it, Everton missed out on CL football, Spurs have and will this season, clubs got relegated that wouldn't have if the doped up Man City weren't there - if affects them all and they cannot see it.

[cissesbeard]

at least arsenal will have a proper turn out for a trophy parade instead of that embarrassment city have on deansgate

[Kopenhagen]

I don't care. If Abu Dhabi win, it'll continue to make a mockery of the league. If Arsenal win, it'll be amusing to see Abu Dhabi lose.

Same goes with the FA Cup final.

That's football fans being football fans, rob. We are all so lost in those petty rivalries we have that when something like this can happen, no one sees it. It's like the pricing in football, fans from all clubs should have united against that, but they won't because toxic rivalries seem to be more important. So football will continue to bugger the fans and price them out of the game. It's the same with this, as its only when you get beaten, they you appreciate how shit it all is.

[The G in Gerrard]

Just can't bring myself to wanting them to win. Good luck to those that support them on here tho.

[Legs]

It’s ok the luxury tax rules and their govt paying £10b towards the UK will make sure of a fairytale ending……..FOR THEM OF COURSE.

[Crosby Nick]

Yeah. Sounds like they own about half of Manchester and they’ve invested in loads of other areas too. Our shite government need the UAE far more than they need us. I just can’t see anyone having the balls to get these charges to stick when they can just threaten to walk away from everything they’ve invested in.

Probably not one for the Arsenal thread, apart them being the ones impacted by them over the last year or two.
