Because it’s meaningless if City win.

It’s not. It actually puts more pressure on the idiots in the PL to do something. If this Arsenal team pushes them as close as we did Multiple times and don’t win it adds more pressure and more voices. Same if they keep erasing man United records.

If arsenal win (beyond hating them and wanting them to win absolutely nothing) it becomes “the league is competitive city didn’t win the league”

[JackWard33]

City apologists? Fuckinghell you are a whopper.

I deleted that choice of words
Understanding our fans wanting city to win the title is beyond me though

[QC]

City titles are largely meaningless. They feel vapid and their fan base is so insignificant that many simply don’t care. Conversely, Arsenal fans are ever present and largely insufferable

Plus there is the uncomfortable feeling that Arsenal will have done it in a similar way to us, without the sportswashing. Whereas anything City achieve can be simply dismissed as plastic.

Arsenal's pervasive 'clever'/'dark arts' antics on the pitch are some distance from the way we challenged City.

Yes - but I meant from a resource perspective. They haven’t been funded by a whole nation.

Exactly my stance, its 4 on the bounce, 7 if we don't win it in 19/20 and that run is entirely down to cheating.

If City weren't built on cheating i'd rather they won it than this shower of diving head injury faking cheats. Right now I'd prefer neither team to win it

[BarryCrocker]

City titles are largely meaningless.

They're engraved on a trophy and recorded in the history books.

With your argument you could have wished we didn't win it in 19/20 as it would have been OK for Man City to win another meaningless title.

[Tonyh8su]

Yes - but I meant from a resource perspective. They haven’t been funded by a whole nation.

What’s the name of Arsenal’s stadium sponsor?

It’s not the same as ownership obviously but, still. Nice little bit of sports washing there.

[rushyman]

Haha brilliant

Fuck off Gabrielle you shithouse

Jesus man, we fuckin hate Arsenal and don’t want them to win the league. Nobody cares about City nobody knows any city fans and we all hope they’ll have their victories erased. This is a mental fucking statement.

[John C]

Because it’s meaningless if City win.

I don't why people keep saying this, where does this notion come from?
If they win this league it's gonna be written in history that they won four on the trot - who the fuck wants that stat?

[JackWard33]

But they’ll have won the league… again ..
more glory .. more young fans buying their shirts and becoming fans etc etc
How can the same Liverpool fans believe the system is totally corrupt im favor of city but also believe anything will be done just because they’ve won 5 not 4 titles or whatever

Arsenal have spent a  decent amount but they’ve done it within the rules, actually have a big fan base and aren’t backed by a brutal autocratic state …. I’m missing something clearly

[rushyman]

Arsenal would be winning the league

City buying another

It's up to the personal viewpoint what you'd rather us better

Let's say you're in a boxing match. You lose to an opponent who's the same as you or you lose to one on steroids. Which one is preferable

[rob1966]

If they keep dominating people might wake up, otherwise they will just continue to cheat and cheat and cheat and no-one will care.

I want these gone from the league, I want every title stripped from them, I hate them.

Some people just find Arsenal winning the league less palatable than City winning it. There's no right answer, it's a personal choice.

If they continue to dominate like this, it becomes ever more difficult for any other club to break the chain. Ourselves including. That is not going to do anything other than kill off the league altogether and it will end up with Abu Dhabi winning more influence in the game, becoming more accepted and eventually we will have games being played there.

[Egyptian36]

When we were the only team challenging City Arsenal and others were cheering for City so how can someone be that weak to want Arsenal to win. City winning it again expose their cheating more. Arsenal winning is another argument for the media to use.

[MonsLibpool]

Everybody is entitled to his opinion but that apologist line made me chuckle because I knew someone would take it out of context.

Anyway, it's still not in Arsenal's hands and what we want doesn't really matter because we're just spectators.

[jillcwhomever]

Wow, just wow.

That makes 0 sense. I want us to win the league every season.

If it’s a choice between Arsenal/City, I would choose City all week. It doesn’t make a difference to them relatively, whereas it would be massively significant for Arsenal fans.

Whilst I appreciate the unfortunate political, economical and societal backdrop to City’s success - football at its core (and the reason we all watch it) is about bragging rights, tribalism and getting one over on your rivals. From that perspective, Arsenal winning a title would be quite sickening to watch. City’s would be forgotten in two days.

[BarryCrocker]

Jesus man, we fuckin hate Arsenal and don’t want them to win the league. Nobody cares about City nobody knows any city fans and we all hope they’ll have their victories erased. This is a mental fucking statement.

You don't care.

But their sponsors, their growing fan base, the players they're yet to recruit, all care about signing in increased kit/sponsorship deal, buying their kit, wanting to play for teams that win stuff.

It's not meaningless if they keep benefiting from their illegalities.

PS - None of their victories will be erased.

They're killing off the game anyway. Infantino will make sure league games are playing abroad, he's getting paid to do so, that was Klopps little dig yesterday that most seem to have missed/ignored. A one team league is bad for Sky and TNT, as people will switch off, people will stop going to games. A team challenging the cheats suits the broadcasters and the PL as they can sit back and do nothing

[Pistolero]

If arsenal win (beyond hating them and wanting them to win absolutely nothing) it becomes “the league is competitive city didn’t win the league”

Yep....for that reason and also for the legacy of our outgoing genius manager....records will show that only Klopp's Liverpool were able to properly go toe to toe with City at their peak....fuck Arteta,...fuck Arsenal

[killer-heels]

Even if City dont win it this season, they will win it next. But if they win it this season, they will also win it next.

[JackWard33]

I want these gone from the league, I want every title stripped from them, I hate them.

Same - but it’s not happening and there’s no world in which they get stripped of titles .. sadly

The problem is the more they win the more ingrained they become… the more normalized it is .. .. and the bigger their fan base grows (people are in denial about the last one but it’s happening)

[rushyman]

When I see Arsenal players constantly, and I mean constantly, diving, rolling, play acting, shithousing and Arteta s full persona I just want another soul free city title that means nothing to anyone apart from city fans

[PeterTheRed ...]

If they keep dominating people might wake up, otherwise they will just continue to cheat and cheat and cheat and no-one will care.

I want these gone from the league, I want every title stripped from them, I hate them.

I don't think that anyone is bothered much anymore. I am watching the game at home, because all the sports bars in the neighbourhood are no longer showing Premier League games ...

[disgraced cake]

I don't why people keep saying this, where does this notion come from?

Crazy init. I can understand the logic some people have in wanting City to win it, but I'm not sure if people seem to realise that once they've won it, they've actually won it. They aren't being taken away you know, fellas.

[rushyman]

And especially with them winning like this all the time and it eventually mean fuck all

Laughed at us for it. They can see how it feels now

[jillcwhomever]

Yep....for that reason and also for the legacy of our outgoing genius manager....records will show that only Klopp's Liverpool were able to properly go toe to toe with City at their peak....fuck Arteta,...fuck Arsenal

How does it wipe out Klopp's legacy considering what he's left us? That just isn't true.

[rob1966]

The only supporters they will attract are those that will walk away if the shit hits the fan. Until the fans in this country wake up, they will keep on cheating and plucky Arsenal winning the league allows them to cheat - they'll pump more money into the club if they lose this season and will just get stronger and stronger. They need removing from the game.

[UntouchableLuis]

And especially with them winning like this all the time and it eventually mean fuck all

It's mad they could win each game 20-0 and it won't matter.

City winning all of their games comfortably.

[rob1966]

Arteta won as many titles as Klopp, Klopp cannot be that special, you know the drill

[jillcwhomever]

It's mad they could win each game 20-0 and it won't matter.

City winning all of their games comfortably.

We may as well close the league down then, as that could be us next season.

[MonsLibpool]

It's mad they could win each game 20-0 and it won't matter.

That's the situation until City slip up.

Like I've said, the prospect of a team this good going trophyless two season in a row must really sting. At least,  we've never gone trophyless in the seasons that we challenged them.

That's not how things should be but they were part of the "City should save football" crowd.

[jillcwhomever]

Arteta won as many titles as Klopp, Klopp cannot be that special, you know the drill

Who cares what others think? That's the problem here, far too many people get annoyed about what others think. We know it's not true and that's the only thing which matters.

[killer-heels]

We may as well close the league down then, as that could be us next season.

City will win the league next season as well. Its basically theirs as long as Guardiola stays.

[Fromola]

Would have made no difference had we beat Everton and West Ham.  No way United or Everton would do us a favour in their last 2.

Injuries have made a big difference but Arsenal have been better than us most of the season..

[Egyptian36]

You don't care.

But their sponsors, their growing fan base, the players they're yet to recruit, all care about signing in increased kit/sponsorship deal, buying their kit, wanting to play for teams that win stuff.

It's not meaningless if they keep benefiting from their illegalities.

PS - None of their victories will be erased.

Are you for real ?
Their sponsors are owned by them, it doesn't matter if they win or not. They also have tiny global fan base compared to the big clubs. They are a small club even the media will foucs on a Utd or LFC news instead of City winning the title.

[JRed]

To be honest. I’m fucking the game off after this season so maybe that’s why I don’t want Arsenal to win it too, another Abu Dhabi win means nothing to me, I just don’t want to see the likes of Arteta, Saka, Havertz , Odourgard lifting the title.

[Redbonnie]

And especially with them winning like this all the time and it eventually mean fuck all

Laughed at us for it. They can see how it feels now

Got to agree with you…it was funny when it was us. Hope Everton laugh and gloat at them on the last day like wolves did to us.  I like Declan Rice but that’s it.
