You appear to be in denial about this. City have never lost a game against a title rival at home.

So that means nobody can ever beat them and shouldn't even try because it just doesn't happen? Arsenal were on fire and blew it.

That 18/19 game still grates with me. We were better.

That was so annoying but that was when the perfection you had to achieve against them was going up and up. It's basically impossible, it still amazes me we managed to finish as close as we did.

Agree. Ironically the season before we smashed them there 4-1 when we weren’t a title contender.

Nobody has ever, ever beaten City at the Etihad during a title race. Its ridiculous to suggest they should have gotten that

Don’t be harsh on your team. You beat them when they pipped you to the title in 17/18.

They got a point, which is as much as you're likely to get against that team. Anyway we're not going to agree on this, so let's drop it.

I think Arsenal win their remaining games to be honest but it won’t be enough.

There isn’t the weird psychology at old Trafford we’ve had in that fixture this season for them, they’ll pull them apart.

They always lose.at Old Trafford. Including last season. Only won once in their 16 there.

Unless you’re Liverpool, it’s currently the easiest game in the league apart from Sheffield United or Burnley.

As usual in the run in, when it’s city’s to lose, they win out.  Happens every season, so to expect otherwise is one for the birds.

Us and Arsenal conceded control to city in recent weeks.  To be fair to Arsenal, while we collapsed like the deck of cards, it was a loss to villa that has cost them in the run in.

Out of interest how many times did we beat City away when we were fighting titles with them? It's very easy to say teams should have tried to beat them but how often does it ever happen anyway? That's part of the issue as to how difficult it is to win titles now.
What’s that got to do with the original point?
I said that was Arsenal’s chance of winning the league. They didn’t even try to win the game.

It must be weird that nobody cares. It's always just us or Arsenal's rivals cheering them on. Nobody else is bothered.
