It quite clearly is. You take the best side out of each league every season and the Premier League pisses all over any other league.
That doesn't mean it's a good league. And that's also not true. It might be at the minute but there were plenty of years when Spain was stronger. But city are edging England closer to the SPL by the season in terms of competitiveness.

There's just no planet where arsenal, a historically big club, can catch city, its just not ever going to happen,in the same way it did when united were so dependent on Ferguson for example.

2 minutes is all bloody Arsenal could hold out for? No doubt Pep will be blowing more smoke up Artetas arse after this game..

Rob Holding is not good enough for a team of Arsenal's calibre. He's backup level for a relegation team.

We decided to go for some other fella instead, Sanchez I think his name was...think we payed him 500 grand a week as well.
Both Manchester clubs went for Sanchez. We were interested in Mahrez the year before but Leicester weren't willing to sell. The player had to go through a bit of antics and force the move when City came in.

This is embarrassing from arsenal. City are not even trying that hard and yet arsenal look like a pub side.

If you are going to win City score some goals. I don't want to watch 90 minutes of you just passing the ball backwards and forwards.

Why didn't we sign Mahrez back then ?
Made so much sense at the time. Funnily enough — Luke Shaw did an interview with Soccer AM/Sky/someone on YouTube just the other day and he said that accordingly to Maguire, Amad really reminds him of Mahrez. So there’s that!

Arsenal bending over for City is as certain as night following day.

Yet another team who plays their cup final against us, yet can’t get motivated against the plastic impression of a club

Both commentators have missed that City are not actually playing that well now, and haven't since the first ten minutes. There's little penetration and no threat in the box. Unfortunately Arsenal are matching them for incompetence here giving it away even when they're not under much pressure.

Of course it's City and they will obviously make me look stupid by scoring in a minute but it doesn't change what's gone on so far.

1 billion, a massive world class squad and enough money to keep all these players motivated and happy, despite not even filling your ground on a normal match day.

Exciting stuff PL

Aye we were both after Sanchez and we won his signature due to Woodward offering him an obscene contract. City then went and signed Mahrez instead despite him being tailor made for us in a position we’ve been crying out the be filled for years. Certainly know who got the better deal anyway. :lol: :(

West Ham were negative against Spurs, they will get a new arse hole against City.
Perhaps but I don't see City winning all their remaining fixtures even if they've all but won the league. They will drop points sooner or later, that's just football.

United, Leicester to come for them.

Let’s say Pep stays for another five years after this season. He’s going to win at least three of those titles right?

God this is boring. If there was a crowd they would be slow hand clapping. I suppose once Arsenal tire even more it will be easier to open them up.

The worst thing about watching City is even though their clearly a level above the rest you just know they’ll go out and spend £150-200m in the summer just cause they can.

City’s play in the final third has been poor.
