No way, Arsenal aren’t likeable.
Sure I’d have taken Odegaard before Dom showed up, but (aside from Saka, although he needs a better manager to stop him from disappearing in games) the rest are chancers.

Ah yes, the Norwegian Bergkamp with his elite xPerformativeActions is another that drags them down. It's not about ability as they are without doubt the third best club now but in terms of general likeability, they must be fighting for relegation.
Teams become 'likeable' when they start winning more games than they previously won. Alex Ferguson never had a 'likeable' team, and then they stopped winning, but if at some point in the future they start to challenge then we will all be sat here pretending Bruno Fernandes is a top lad like when Chelsea fans forgot Didier Drogba was a shithouse.
Actually that crap 2011 side was quite 'likeable', but that might have been because he never had a settled XI so you only saw a few faces every week.
The Ole Team became likable for a bit until Pogba and Ronaldo.
Who wants to be likeable? Not that this Arsenal side are.
Good job Havertz wasn't sent off for diving. Is that "getting a decision when you need it"?
LikeableAll teams besides your own can go fuck themselves. Unless they are doing things a certain way like Athletic Bilbao.
Anyone who didn’t find Firmino likeable is just wrong.
Mac Allister’s close too.

Players can be, but whole teams need to be some sort of crazy total football super underdog to overcome the bonds of club fealty, which is a bit of paradox. Even Leicester, the ultimate underdog success story of modern times turned out to be intolerable arseholes. It's the nature of the game.
I will never like any team that plays in red. It's sad but it's just the way of things. Wrexham, hate them. Swindon, hate them. Barnsley, fuck off. Crawley, hope you all burn to death.
So that isnt all teams apart from your own then.Originally Posted by SincereTheRebel
Likeable
These are always as good as the sport gets and this may be the last game of such quality ever seen in the sport today, kids. Hopefully we run riot as otherwise it's difficult to enjoy these when you're in the midst of them. Soak it up.
I think he was a rare 'likeable' manager. The players were still mostly melts and/or frustratingly crap.
Nah, couldnt stand Ole after he started with that nonsense of not parking in the managers space before it was the bosses
I don't think that was a penalty or a dive, for some reason these things have to be binary now.
That's the old classic case of if 'arry Kane does it, honest 'arry is just 'anticipating the contact' but if some nasty forrin' does it, DIVING BASTARD.
Thinking about it. You are right. Loyalty is out the window. Most of us cheat at our jobs, cheat on our wifes. Cheat on your football club.
Ole is definitely very likeable, a Sir Gareth without all of the political crap.
The only likeable thing about him is he lost lots of matches.

Spurs ripping through Villa here. By far the better side.
Word is Konate is out for today and he might be playing Goe Jomez at LB over Robertson(he hasn't really looked right since he came back). Quansah fully into the deep end now.
It will be interesting to see how both teams play this should it be level going into the last 15 mins. I don't think it will be though. City are basically at full strength and we're down a body too many at the back.
I also reckon both Liverpool and Arsenal need Liverpool to win today for either to win the league. Looking at the remaining fixtures, City have Arsenal, Villa and Spurs which you could maybe see dropped points in, though the former two are at home which is big for them.
Liverpool have to go to Everton, United and Villa, with games against Spurs and Brighton at home.
Arsenal have to go to City, Spurs, Brighton and United, with Villa to play at home.
All three should go deep in Europe too, which could complicate things further with potential injuries.
McGinn with the kind of tackle where he clearly is that type of player and is trying to hurt the opponent. Good to see the referee on top of it.
Curious one for McGinn there. As his mate pointed out with that think about it gesture, what was he thinking? Good to see a ref have the conviction to properly punish basic thuggery.
Yeah exactly. Loads of people on twitter saying it isn't a red. I think a lot of people have been conditioned to the idea that two-footed studs up jumpy leg breakers are the only tackles worthy of red. Completely out of control, forceful challenges are all red cards regardless of entry point. Becomes a very dangerous sport if they aren't.
If he'd run over and pulled his shirt to pull him back or something like that it's one thing, but he's just gone in with the full intention of booting the other player as hard as he could.
City going with that Stones hybrid role bollocks once again. Nunez should have fun running into that back line.
Brennan Johnson spent the whole game kicking the ball away after the whistle and standing over opposition freekicks... and for reasons unknown the ref just let him constantly get away with it. We don't need blue cards, we need refs just to use yellows when they are deserved.
That was painful, but we deserved nothing.
Salah coming on after an hour is gonna be glorious.

Guardiola is a fucking idiot. Why doesnt he just play the regular back four with Dias?
Every single time. Something about Anfield just gets to him.
That said, I'm not sure our back line is keeping out the full compliment of Silva, De Bruyne, Foden, Haaland and Alvarez for very long.
Kelleher and Bradley are due some stinkers which worries me but aside from that, let's go baby.
I can understand Dias not playing tbf. He’s a pudding.
City looking very sharp early. Kelleher will have to play well today.
What a corner that is
That was a really smart corner.
I see Neville still doesn’t understand that the blocking got the goal chopped off at Wembley because the guy doing it was offside lol
Heads absolutely gone on that one.
Watching Kyle Walker defend on the break is funny. Just sprints dead on at the ball without a care in the world at what space he leaves in behind
A shame to let that one in. Considering the players we're without this has been great from us so far. Hopefully we can keep ourselves in it until Salah and Robertson come on.
I've been thinking about this for the full 30 mins so far, and I think I've decided: this is the most PEDs ever seen on an English football pitch. City are worse, but Liverpool also jacked up to the teeth.
I think you'll find the term is "asthma."
Is it really that hard refs to stop teams time wasting? Just book a player, then they will stop.

Julian Alvarez is the odd man out in this City team. No technical ability at all. Wouldn’t look out of place for Hull
Need him to do the relentless running on that side though. If you picked the best technical players in this era you'd finish about 9th.
If he takes him off, puts Foden in the middle and gets someone on at the back, they win this game by several.
We've looked class here after we settled, initially they were ripping through us too easy but defence and midfield have been so sharp in possession. Just paying for having to carry the malnourished drug mule in attack again but hopefully we grab the equaliser before Doku comes on and rapes us in four different ways.
Besides one corner that's a great first half. Ball just hasn't dropped for us in the box.
I suppose we'll see how long Salah has in him. Bring on the late Koumas goal.
Bradley is so good. Almost a shame we have Trent to come back.
I'm a twit
If only there was some other position he could play?
