1. Arteta has said, when asked about set piece goals, that he wants us to be the best in the world at everything. I haven't seen the stats but I would guess we scored less towards the end of last season compared with the first half. The improvement on set pieces has helped to counteract that...

"But if you have to win the title then you have to go for it." "Pep did a Jose that day" In the same post. And City will probs win the title. So if you have to win the title then do you have to go for it or is 0-0 enough? Looks like "doing a Jose" will be enough for City... Confusing.

Interesting how City won the league with 89 points last season (we got 84). We've improved to - if we beat Everton at the weekend - take 89, and City will most likely win the league with 91. We just have to go again. People point to individual results (Villa, City) but we've had breaks along the...

No it would be goals scored, which City would win on. If we had the same goal difference and scored the same number of goals it wouldn't go to head to head anyway, if I remember correctly - we'd play a play-off! Unless they've changed that... Fun to imagine a draw tonight leading to an insane...

I think the pivotal nature of the game is leading to some amnesia about how bad Tottenham have been recently. There is almost no chance of them getting anything tonight. It's not copium, it's logic. They are bad and City will be far too good.

Totally agree with this, it's ridiculous to gripe about points dropped when we've won 15 out of the last 17 or something nuts. We have dropped silly points but so has everyone - it's a marathon, not a sprint, it's never about one individual game. I have no complaints about this season. I love...

Beat Everton and we get 89, but you think 90 is not realistic :lol:

Arsenal wanted Martinez as a left back, we got Zinchenko instead. Not sure how much he's played there for you. Arteta's preferences at centre back seem obvious enough - he wants physical monsters.

Would be unbelievably funny. But it would also open up the possibility of us doing a Dortmund style choke, so I wouldn't celebrate too hard on Tuesday if they do manage to do something.

Not that I necessarily disagree as I can't predict what the competition will be like next season, but people have said this about Arsenal since we got pipped to fourth by Spurs in 2021-22, and each time we have actually just got better. 69 pts -> 84 pts -> 86/89 pts. We might plateau or tail off...

heh, was it you who was refusing to change the thread title because "they will bottle it against Spurs and United"? We were awful. I thought it was the worst I've seen us play this season (I didn't see the loss to Fulham which most say is the worst). I don't know why. If they came out and said...

If any United fans are thinking "how the hell are these at the top?" the answer is not, generally, by playing like that. We have been pathetic, we look like we need permission to beat you. Ffs.

"I don't get nervous but I'm starting to get a bit shaky, you know what I mean?!"

They look a rabble. No belief and no identity. Not saying he won't turn it round (I don't know enough about him) but this season is ending disastrously.

Heh, why is there this popular imagination that if we'd simply attacked, we'd have won. How about we attack and we lose 4-1 like last season and the title's already done? We'll never know but in football it is generally seen as prudent not to be completely gung-ho in the most difficult games of...
