Arsenal v Bournemouth - Sat May 4th 1230 PM KO

Big Willie Oh ffs, then that wouldn't be to our benefits at all if they get stripped off titles. And also means if they win the title it will be theirs to keep this year?

Couldn't care less about this now.

Claudius

Clrnc it’s vitally important that they are punished.
The charge period makes sense. It’s after this period that they had the momentum to dominate on their own. Before they would have needed all the lies and cheating possible to build massive advantage rapidly

Also means that if they do di that, Spurs will benefit and be aqarded the title for a season (don't remember whether they came second in 2017or 2018).

Clrnc yeah unfortunately they are very ruthless at winning the games that they are expected to particularly in the back end of the season and most the teams they have don't have anything to play for. Of course a freak outcome could happen but I would say it's an unlikely outcome so that's how I'm approaching the run in accepting we will be second which is no easy achievement but we know what's required to get us over then line. For all the good things from this season we need to be better we blanked in a few too many games and certainly a couple of defeats that should have at least been draws and it's not big but it's the difference at the very top.

Gurgen

89 points would be more than enough to win the league before these cheaters came along. The game is rigged as long as oil states are allowed to compete.

Gurgen

It’s no point complaining it’s rigged.

Drawing at home to Fulham has nothing to do with this.

We must get better. I don’t want to accept defeat like this each season.

Sicario2 - Tier 1 We must get better. I don’t want to accept defeat like this each season.

Still, there's no need to accept defeat till it actually happens.

Reckon a good chunk of the angst at the moment about how defeat is inevitable is actually because it's ... not inevitable.

Let's hang on, hope for the best and enjoy the ride. I keep hearing about City's "closer" mentality but they haven't been pushed to the last day in a good while. They're no better than us.

Gurgen

Teams drop points. The Invincibles got a lucky draw at home to Portsmouth. They were 2cm away from losing at Old Trafford.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Gurgen

Fair but we knew Villa was must win and we didn’t show up in 2nd half.

If we lose the title we can’t keep blaming on City cheating. We have to look at ourselves. Could we have done more? Yes. Could we have been better? Yes. Both have nothing to do with City cheating or not (appreciate the margins are finer because of them though).

Gurgen

Sicario2 - Tier 1 Every game is must win, that's the whole point.

banduan

it's bollocks honestly. If we win everything from this point on, pointing out losing to Villa when we were on our run is the equivalent of saying "you didn't win 42 out of 42pts, you're not good enough" which is nuts.

We're competing against cheaters just like Pool have always been these past years.

KDB is sick. No stress, Bernardo’s there. Haaland is out. Throw in Alvarez. Grealish is a flop? Have some Doku. We are missing Walker and Stones for the big games against Arsenal ? Just field a £200m defense anyway.
It’s trash

Clrnc

banduan it was a very winnable game though. Almost nobody here predicted we will lose.

Some people will say the dropped points early on vs West ham and Fulham but for me I think if we didn't win the title I will look back at Villa. Because by that time we already know what we needed to do to win the title.

The season didn’t start Jan 1st though.

Ultimately table doesn’t lie. Whoever finishes first is deserving of the title.

We dropped too many points first half of the season which could bite us in the backside.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Claudius

We are not Luton town though. How much has Arteta spent? Liverpool spent the same and won the title. It can be done.

Otherwise what’s the point? Why go through the stress of the ‘title race’ when we all know City will win in the end?

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Clrnc

This is the right answer. The rest is throwing toys out of the pram.

Us fans need to hold the club to higher standards if we want to win the big honours, no other way.

Claudius

Fulham in December is still the only game that annoys me. It’s the one game we didn’t look like Arsenal.

Claudius

Sicario2 - Tier 1 We dropped too many points first half of the season which could bite us in the backside.

Teams don’t typically run at an insane 2.5 point pace all season. They ebb and flow. Other than city, nobody ever runs at a crazy pace all season. Even Liverpool, the season they won, went on a crazy pace until around round 25 and then slowed down

Sicario2 - Tier 1 Us fans need to hold the club to higher standards if we want to win the big honours, no other way.

Do you honestly think anyone here holds the club to higher standards than our manager does? Look at what he's done since coming in, it's all been about raising the standards so that Arsenal are where Arteta knows we should be.

Coombs

RocktheCasbah it's also just not true. All the fan 'protests' accomplished nothing. The Kroenkes do what they do irrespective of us fans.

and maybe thank them for that...
