This set piece coach is something else.
Probably. Bring on the Euros.
No, the Simms-Wright combo will be too much for City to handle.
No, but for some reason less likely than Coventry beating them in an FA Cup final.
Doesn't matter, Klopp leaving ensures it will be About Liverpool anyway.
Turtle(neck being worn by a bald bore.)

Man City can’t even draw a game at this point. Arsenal GD is monstrous
Spurs' defending for both those corner goals has been horrific.
Modern football discourse summed up in one sentence.Originally Posted by Waffdon
Ben White trying to unstrap Vicarios glove before the corner is excellent marginal gains shithousery.
Yeah, I noticed that too.
Looking at their games you'd have to think that Spurs away is the only one which will present even a remote risk of them not winning, and looking at Spurs that seems a bit of a stretch in itself, particularly as their fans will likely be baying for them to lose.
Yeah, spurs season could well be over by then anyway. Chelsea and Liverpool away next which they never win at
After today City have a seamless run in against on the beach teams, so it's all on the mad Greek and some VAR karma to get the job done.
Romero
Why was he even up there
Another Spurs goal would spice this up but it's hard to see Angeball not leading to a catastrophic breakaway goal for Arsenal at some point.
I remember when Xhaka was sent off for that Kulusevski foul. Peak Mike Dean moment that.
How is that not a penalty? It's literally right on front of the div as well.
Oliver is fucking awful
Hows this got close. That Raya fuck up is such a disgrace.
What is Neville on?
Ball will be in play for about 30 seconds for the remainder of the game now.
Was that one of the worst 3-2's ever?
Absolutely zero quality outside of that Havertz pass for the 2nd.
Oliver pointing at his watch when Arsenal were lying around during stoppage time only to blow the whistle exactly at the end of itNot that I think Spurs would have gotten anything out of it, but a bit of a clown show.

I didn't know there was another game going on but having seen the BBC Sport homepage, is De Zerbi on fraud watch?
I think its a combination of nothing to play for and they know he's likely off in the summer.
Brighton have been absolutely ballbagged by injuries this year, but the wheels have certainly come off in the last few months.
Seems that the plan has been the same for 2 years and if it doesn't work then they get hammered.
Does that count as something Nunez would have scored?
If it’s the same chance I’m thinking of then it’s exactly when I turned off.
Not a good day for the chances that Chris Wood Score statnalysis.
This is the sort of game that's absolutely sickening when you end up getting pipped by a point or two at the end of the season.
Sky are obsessed with Haaland’s dad
The Spurs fans are claiming there's a corrupt conspiracy behind the loss and it's more entertaining than the match.
Surely there's only a conspiracy if the VAR gives it the old check complete good process lads.
Spurs beating City would be beyond amazing.
'InvertTheWing' seems like a proper freak.
Quite, they're 3 points better off due to the most incompetent call in years and moaning because they got a penalty 15 seconds later than they should have.
Not even a Spurs fan apparently, which makes that quite a trip off the deep end.
You'd think he'd have an issue with conceding two awful set pieces if this was the case.
I'm sure that B license really enhances his Football Manager saves.
Its the thing, I can't particularly hold it against actual fans because if I was on the opposite end of this my head would be on Mars as well.
xG lol.
I can't take that stat seriously. It's like when teams (such as Spurs last weekend) have all of the ball but no return from it. To me, xG is just 'chances missed'. You can expect a chance you don't take. Anyway, for a potential Plan B to see where City might drop points, West Ham?
Spurs should be out of the top 4 race by the time of the game and will have zero incentive to help Arsenal out. Wolves are having to field people from the local park, Fulham are clearly on the beach and West 'am are openly meeting with new managers to replace Moyes, so like fuck is he going to want to help them out.
I think this was their most losable game and they've come through it fine unfortunately. Arsenal losing 1 league game in 2024 and pumping goal difference for fun still not being enough shows the scale of the task everyone has.
The incentive is making sure they don't completely shit the bed and finish 7th. Although they've got Sheffield on the last day which might as well be a bye.
Arsenal chucked it away over the Christmas period
If they do win this season it'll be 6 years out of the last 7 and the first time a team has won four in a row in the history of English football. The one they didn't win, Liverpool got 99 points. It's a level of dominance we haven't ever seen before and it's simply not going to stop while Pep's in charge.
I think the whole on the beach thing is a bit bygone era. The mindset to get to a first XI these days requires you to be such a lunatic that I don't think there's anywhere near as many players that will accept losing because it doesn't matter. 90% of these players aren't that much better technically than their lower league counterparts. It's mentality.
Current point difference between Arsenal and Chelsea over the last two years would finish 3rd this year. Pipe down.
You need at least 90 points to beat Pep era City, so if Arsenal manage it with 89 they'll have had a slice of good fortune on that front.
Whatever the outcome they need to carry the momentum of this season forward as they really need to be winning the league next year before the whole thing falls apart, as will typically tend to happen when you put the required level of stress to win a league on a non-FM tier, two £40m players for every position, type of squad. Can they keep the core of a squad almost entirely injury free for another complete season?
Indeed. We will find out what punishment they(wont) get for the way they assembled this team but his coaching is second to none. The Liverpool team of 2018-22 was frankly fucking outrageous. The level of football and fitness obscene. The one off season they still even came third with Nat Philips and Rhys Williams at CB. Yet even that team only did for them once.
He is also the reason I'm hoping for more progressive football out of Arne Slot. Klopp has done extremely well in getting more of a tune out of some players than maybe anyone else would, but this is now the 3rd season in 4 where I think his methods prove to be a double edged sword. How many times do you see Liverpool having to fight to the final whistle to get a win. Even Arsenal are similar but have the players in midfield to mix it up more on the ball. That wears you down over the season(s) and causes what you get now from us.
I think the perfect showcase of superior methods was that week United played us both maybe 2 seasons ago. We went there and won 5-0 with all of the pressing etc you'd expect of us. Ended up with losing I think 2 players from injury in that game. City turned up a week later, got 2-0 up and went energy preservation and passed the ball about themselves for ages.
I'm not even sure Pep is a better manager than Klopp, but the resources are ludicrously stacked in his favour and he's clearly good enough to take full advantage of that.
The entire projects over when some caveman inevitably breaks Odegaards leg. Think Taz' hate for the guy has to be his worst take.
In other news I think this is such a perfect indicator of how fucked 'the discourse' is when you've got people pretending to have opposing opinions to farm engagement for money.
Jesus, that must be horrendous for the brand.
