Other Games 2025-26

He's such a sore loser and he takes himself so seriously. He is insufferable

And he looks like a Spanish Ted Bundy.

If only he had Ted's charm and killer instinct.

I do still think Arsenal will win the league, though. Citeh's run of Everton, Bournemouth and Brentford, 2 of which are away, I think is more difficult than what Arsenal have left. West Ham away for them is the only potential difficult one I think. Outsiders will include us with Citeh's difficult games, I won't, we'll be pissed from the Europa League final, win or lose, should we get there.

I guess the only unknowable factor will be the semi-finals taking a toll on Arsenal.

If it goes on "favourite wins the game" then they should both win all their matches. I'd say that on current trajectory, Arsenal are more likely to randomly slip up when you don't expect it than Man City are. If neither slip up, they finish level on points.

I've been saying to my Arsenal mate since before Christmas that they'll lose it on the last day of the season on goal difference because Man City will pump us 8-0 because we're all pissed up celebrating.

I am starting to think that it's actually how the season will end, and "Villa giving in and handing City the title" will be one of those things that goes down in Premier League folklore.

Oh yeah, they both should win them all on paper, but I do think Citeh's is more difficult.

I'll happily take an 8-0 if we've just won the Europa League. Oh, is that another clanger Martinez? Such a shame, the arsenal fans love you.

But Man City are now in the phase where they win all their games.

City’s record after the final international break across the last five seasons now stands at P40 W33 D6 L1. That’s 105 points at a points per game of 2.63. Ludicrous.

Even the one defeat is of no consequence; it came at Brentford, on the final day of the 22/23 season when, with the Premier League leg of their treble already safely in the bag, Guardiola rested most of his starting XI for the upcoming FA Cup and Champions League finals.

City’s momentum at this specific stage of the season is measurable and consistent. And this season the timing just looks like it might be absolutely perfect.

I'm not saying that they definitely won't slip up. But if I were an Arsenal supporter, I wouldn't be putting all my emotional eggs in the "Bournemouth away might tricky" basket.

[Toronto Villa]

If Man City win against Burnley they’ll be top. Having been top for almost 7 months, psychologically when Arsenal players and fans see that I don’t think they can come back from that.

He's a twat. Today he fucked it up tactically by becoming emotionally affected. All he had to do was to go for a draw and not lose this match but he went for a win. He foolishly reacted to the criticism he has been receiving about negativity and wanted to show those having a go at him. He may have fucked it up for good.

[Somniloquism]

Not sure why the Everton defender was pulling on Pickford's shirt during the corner but he might have stopped him getting there and punching the ball away.

What about the Villa at home?

[Dave]

Reckon they don't need their "win at end of the season" history, they can just rely on "playing Villa at the Etihad" history.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Could really do with a Happy Hammers victory tonight. No doubt Palace will pass us off as usual.

[Meanwood Villa]

I know this has been done ad nauseam and I am in a minority but personally I find the idea of Citeh completing another domestic treble less palatable than Arsenal winning the league. For all the "they don't count when they win", yes they do. And being able to buy the two of the hottest prospects in the league part way through a season while being under a never ending investigation for financial doping also matters. To me at least.

Spot on. I hated Ferguson buit can you imagine the fun he'd have had with this dickhead?

Good points
but whilst agreeing with your points that’s also the reason people take Man city over Arsenal, City have become the ultimate meaningless club they are virtually a nuetral option because anything they win counts for nothing
A lot of their fans feel the same way whenever I’ve chatted to them up there it has a feeling of the Lance Armstrong victories about it

For all their money and success I wouldn’t swap it for the lifetime membership of the Villa stress ride roller coaster

This is my feeling too . it is a farce they can carry on in cheat mode ,  the whole integrity of the league is undermined.  Then you have the sycophants drooling over PEP and his masterstroke management.  =   buy up all the talent around.   

[lovejoy]

Indeed. It took no skill to buy Guehi and Semenyo in the transfer window, just syphon off the top talent even if they don't need it (Kalvin Philips, Jack).
