Clrnc Wonder if it's like for penalties and they look at tendencies before the game. Maybe Son has a predilection for going far post?

    Spuds fans providing meme material for when Hammers do us a favour.

    Michail my man all on you now.

    I have a bit more respect for Ange after seeing those clips and articles, hope for his sake he gets out of that soul-sapping peehole.

      Segway

      The more angles you see the worse it gets! For someone like Son he'd finish that with his eyes closed against us.

        Lol, you guys really wasted your time watching a Spurs game hoping they would do something?

        Arsenal have broken my heart too many times, no way I was going to let Spurs do it too. Only one way this was ever ending.

        We had our chance and put up a good fight. Feels bad to come so close and not win, but overall we can still be proud and call it a good season. If we can repeat this kind of 90-point-ish season over the next few seasons, we're bound to win one.

          Clrnc He said inside out which meant there were people within the club asking him to throw that match away as well

          I thought that too which is really pathetic. Some knobhead fan is one thing but if thats within the club its truly toxic.

            Ridiculous. Juiced up fuckers

              Really shows that the start and end of our season was ok - it was that mid season blip that cost us

                Mirth Yeah, we dropped 11 points in short order in that stretch.

                Though we gnashed and wailed quite a bit about the season probably being over, there was no real sense of our best shot at a title in forever going by the wayside over two points.

                I reckon we'll start next season with a lot of dressing room angst about every point dropped.

                    naz nothing unexpected. Most of us expect this. City is like this in the run in. We saw that last few seasons as well.

                    I don't know why so many people were confident they will not win every match. You look at the fixtures and you can't even see which match they will drop points. They are more likely to be perfect than not

                        We weren't great in the first half of the season, the blip was always going to happen sooner or later as we weren't creating chances. Once Havertz moved to 9 and Rice to 8 post Christmas things clicked together. It took Arteta a while to figure out how to best utilise them, I think he had different ideas for how to evolve the team on from last season. Hopefully next season we don't have that problem and we can start more coherently.

                          Clrnc agree albeit my outtake would be that given we were near perfect in our run-in despite it being the toughest one on paper, the only thing we don't have that City do is experience. And that's why it's easier for them to churn out the results.

                            Yeah, this is true. Even I've learned my lesson after last season. But this record also shows you how difficult it is to get past them. Their last loss was matchday 15 and they've dropped eight points out of the 66 available to them since. That is a level of relentlessness that is going to be very difficult to come by and, much as I'm sitting here thinking, "we will have them next season, for sure!" we all know they ain't going anywhere.

                              Maybe as well knowing how ruthless they are with most other teams the head to head is where you have real autonomy to hurt them and get some space. Do you go for the win away at theirs? I understand how we approached it this season and we got what we set out for but do we need to maximise them dropping points next season?
