I’m not a big fan of Arteta and his football. But I wasn’t a fan of Pep and his football either and all the titles him and City won do get counted, still. So, if we win something – and there is a very good chance now that we will – I will celebrate it as if Mikel is a phenomenon that only happens once in a century.
It’s been 22 years since we last won the Premier League title. As for the Champions League, we have never won it, having played our only final in 2006 losing to Barcelona 2-1 after going down to 10 men in the 18th minute. I was too young to even remember it, and more into cricket that time.
We are 3 games away from the league title – West Ham (A), Burnley (H), Palace (A). All 3 games are winnable. David Moyes did Arteta a favor after Everton limited Man City to a draw and gave us the upper hand. It’s in our hand, we go on and win our games and what City do of theirs won’t even matter.
The harder one of the two trophies is the Champions League. PSG under Enrique has been brilliant and is playing some of the best football right now. They beat Bayern in the semis and I would say they will be the favorites in Budapest. But, hey, it’s a 90 min game and whoever is ready to kill and die on the pitch that day will walk away with the trophy. Whoever wants it more, will decide the outcome.
–
We are in a wonderful place. We can surely win the league title and we can surely go out and choke PSG in the finals. However, this also means that a couple of bad performances will leave us with no trophy, and the only improvement will be of playing finals instead of semis compared to last season.
If you would have told Mikel and the players that they can win the title by beating West Ham, Palace and Burnley and Champions League by beating PSG at a neutral venue, at the beginning of the season, they would have bite your hand.
Hopefully they would be dreaming of it. The manager, the players because we fans surely are.
–
West Ham today, they have their own relegation battle so anything can happen. I hope we don’t mess it up but it’s not the time anymore to do speculations, guess what can happen, who will start and what kind of football we play. The only thing that matters is, 11 players on the pitch and a win.
We can do it. We have come close three seasons earlier and we can do it the 4th time. I am keeping my hopes high.

Achoo—I’m sure I speak for everyone on here when I say that I’ve grown increasingly bored of your word salad penile-centric retorts…I can only assume that your significant other realizes that she’s the beard to your Nancy…if not, don’t let her anywhere near this blog or the cat will be out of the bag…btw you dense fuck, I’m not American, just like you’re not British
I think the officials and var team will be watching us like hawks on Monday because of the WH game. I’m hoping it’s going to be one of those nights where goals might actually come from open play but we also need some dead ball corner tactics that are lighter than usual on physicality.
Will managerless Burnley try and park the bus or look to exit the PL with at least one significant win? They have little to gain by sitting back so I’m hoping they try to put themselves in the game.
Instead of 4231 formation, I think it should be more attacking. Just wear the cunts down with pressing, getting shots off quickly and crossing/pullbacks from the byline. And keep attacking.
Hit them like a fucking train and give the fans a show and a filip going into the Palace game. Take every opportunity to boost our gd, not least because scoring goals for fun will boost confidence before playing Paris.
Yo, Squeaky Vera, ya daft yank plastic yank.
Nobody on here cares what you think and I think you speak for no-one on here, that’s the entitled yank speaking.
Bloody plastic fans, sit down Half pint. Or talk about your strap on again. Either/or is funny.
KP, we’re beating Burnley. A shame we don’t get to lift the trophy at home.
Rescheduling has ruined the last games for both the men’s and women’s teams. Laps of appreciation at 10pm aren’t as much fun
Daft knob opinions from a daft Yank. They really don’t get soccerball

Raya hasn’t helped us offensively and he appears to a notch below Ramsdale when it comes to shotstopping
Really very detailed Squeaky Vera. I’ve noticed this fixation you have and I believe I’ve mentioned it before.

I feel for Southgate’s balls, first they were oh so tiny, then they grew to an unheard of size, but when he needed them most they quickly returned back into their preferred state, tiny and tucked up inside his pelvic bone

Squeaky Vera, let me know what you’d like to see next.
More of your balls talk or just you making things up that never happened and making yourself emotional?
You’ve got plenty of both half pint.
He’s back!!! Someone locked the medicine cabinet and our little cut and paste bitch is loose in London again…context matters cuntfuck…I bet you did this little blogtard exercise with a box of kleenex at the ready…I can’t even imagine being so fucking pathetic that I took time out of my morning/afternoon/evening to scour the archives for genitalia-related comments…sucks being you (of course no one knows that sad fact more than you)
Achoo is a sick fuck
KP—this wreaks like a try not to embarass ourselves type of affair by the visitors…their Toilet Bowl championship comes next week when they face the equally wretched Wolves…Burnley have been a leaky away side this season(45 in 18 matches)…in their last two road fixtures they lost to Leeds and Forest, 3-1 & 4-1 respectively…as such, I do agree that we need to take it to them, but I very much doubt they’ll be too adventurous…maybe their interim coach will actually view our scalping as a means to a managerial ends and opt against their typical 5-4-1 low block, but I highly fucking doubt it
as to your VAR concerns, they’re definitely valid…coin toss calls should favour the opposition, especially when it comes to our set piece antics…I’ll be intrigued to see MA’s tolerance for taking chances in light of the importance that goal differential might play…as per usual, I would suspect that we’ll press high for the first 15-20 then revert back to our possession-based sideways nonsense if that fails to yield the desired results…like yourself I believe we should have the mindset of laying a fucking beating on this 4 win side, thereby putting even more pressure on City to chase scorelines against better opponents
