Said it many times before but it'll be really embarrassing for the Premier League if City win this season. They're so poor.

That's probably a good point for Arsenal. Really hope they go onto win it.

This is Liverpool's title. City are shite and Arsenal will Arse it up.
Looks like it, Arsenal needed to beat City today to go top and put a 4 point gap between them and City. It`s definitely Liverpools to lose now.

Tactical game. City was better, Arsenal had a couple of chances, fair result. Both teams are really good.

What a terrible adevert for the Premier League that match was.

Why were they all hugging and shaking hands at the end, isnt this supposed to be a rivalry?

Man. City are a very uninspiring team this year.

Two goals in 4 games v Arsenal and Liverpool.

All a bunch of overpaid pricks. 2 teams who have basically let Liverpool take the lead in the title race by both doing feck all for 90 mins and then everyone best mates at the end of it. Grow up and have a fight with each other you knobs.

These games vs City are horrible to watch in terms of entertainment. We didn't have enough possession and offered very little going forward. Saliba completely shuts down Haaland again.Big point, taken four points from City this season. Can't complain about that.

Well any team with that many players behind the ball would, but yea they were well organized.
Compared to the clown defending in recent years they've come a long way.

Didn't think they had it in them under Arteta. Saliba has been a signing for them.

Good argument for this being the worst Premier League season ever quality-wise.

Three teams in a title-race where no one really looks convincing at all, City and Liverpool significantly weaker than they have been for the last years and Arsenal not special at all. Villa in fourth, Tottenham in fifth both underwhelming and genuinly the worst United side I have ever seen are probably going to get europe.

Add to that how hopeless the bottom teams have been, and how Newcastle, West Ham and Chelsea have been underperforming all season long I think this is the worst quality I can remember.

Atleast the title-race is somewhat exciting

Absolutely agree with you there, they look like a team of adults rather than children.

I dunno 2016 was wank. Spurs somehow spursed themselves into 3rd and let Leicester win the league

Piss easy run in as well. All going their way isn’t it.
Is it? We had to rebuild our midfield last summer. Caicedo turned us down. Alisson, Robbo, Tsimikas, Jones, Matip and Trent decided to be out for a large part of the season. News of Klopp leaving midway through the season. That goal against Spurs. That penalty against City. That handball against Odegard.

I'm so happy it's all going our way. :eek:

So you bought a shiny new midfield, dodged a bullet with Caicedo, lost comparatively few players to injury, and all rallied around Klopp for a big finish. Not seeing how any of those are that bad.

Spurs goal I’ll give you, that was fecked up.

So City have only won 2 games against any of the top 6 this season home or away. Any guesses which team that is ? :lol:

Still could have three in the respective European finals.

The 2013-2018 period was far far worse imo. Arsenal are much improved from this time last year and certainly the late Wenger era where they ceased to be a top level side. I agree Liverpool aren't a patch on what they were even two years ago but they remind me a bit of when AC Milan used to still win CLs even when their side was really old and past its best, just doing it on memory.

Man. City today missed a Gundogan who could just ghost into the box and slot in the winner. Also Doku was getting insane hype in September but he's been very erratic recently, Mahrez used to turn it on at the business end of seasons so that's a big downgrade in the off the cuff wide player in Guardiola's system.

Plus it's natural to lose 5% from winning the treble and not having the same intensity.

Not that keen on either of them either.

This is the fourth match I've watched this weekend. Zero quality in any of them.
It’s a problem (for me anyway) that sitting through matches, unless it’s United, is a chore. And to be honest United is a chore half the time.

I tend to watch a lot more rugby

Title in the bag for Liverpool. PL refs will be under orders (well, they already are) from sky sports to give Plop a fairytale farewell.
