It is perfect, sums up the purist Arsenal fans moaning about our football and even those rival fans who loved us under Wenger, while we played great football and then got smashed by good teams. They can't give us a pat on the head anymore and say better luck next time

There's unlimited resentment about us being competitive again. The one problem is that for now, the Arsenal haters in the cosy media and refereeing establishment are winning. I'd love us to shove it all down their throats finally.

I've got Man Utd fans coming out the woodwork laughing at how we failed to deliver the title in the past two seasons. Which is incredible given how they have become Banter FC. TBF, that's half of why I want us to win something so I can rub it in their faces.

      It reminds me of when we were laughing at Liverpool for not winning the league. Deep down the reason for me was jealously, that that club had organically surpassed us, was running like clockwork on and off the pitch. They were competing for the title while we were dreaming up scenarios of scraping a Top 4 finish. The thought of them winning the title made sick while we looked a million miles away from that level.

      That and the fact Liverpool fans are the most insufferable twats going tbf.

        Some absolutely wild ones there if you look through that thread!

        This is insane when you think about it

        It's just the big bag of money and the juego de posición tactics mate, nothing more.

        Teams in Ferguson's era almost never enjoyed the total dominance City has often had. And of course Fergie barely even coached on a technical level, he left that to the likes of Queiroz.

        If Liverpool have deserved three league titles under Klopp then we've deserved one. No one would agree with that so let's not make the case for Pool, there are no greater experts in victimology.

        Must be on some serious money to get him to sign a contract that long!

          fuck. 10 more years of this. He will break every single striker record in the PL....
          I'm also willing to bet he will be crying for Madrid/Barcelona in 3-4 years.

          JazzG £500k a week is what I've read.

              Qwiss Fair enough for that kind of money, though with the way money is going up in football in 5 years time that might not look as good as it does now.

                With Marmoush and others signing this window and now this ,it makes me feel tese cheats will get a slap on the wrist.

                Or they are doing a Chelsea and bringing forward deals as they expect to get a transfer ban?

                I think it’s definitely one of the other here. Getting ahead of potential relegation/transfer ban by bringing in young talent and offering huge wages to players they’ll need to get back up quickly (Haaland/Marmoush). In Haaland’s case, I think his dream was Madrid but it’s clear there won’t be a spot for him there so he probably realizes no one else can really afford the wages he wants outside of City and Saudi.

                I don't think it'll help in case of relegation. Surely all players going there or signing new contracts now will have a clause about that.

                The case has already been ruled on right? So there must be some knowledge in the club somewhere and with this stuff it feels like it might not be a particularly significant ruling against them.
