Brighton excellent. No idea what they were doing in midweek
And so it ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper
3-0
Very poor today.
Man I would have been so sad as an Arsenal fan this season. First real shot at the league in 20 odd years, being in first most of the season while playing great football only to come undone at the end. Depressing stuff.
While on paper you would say it’s been a better season than they’ve had in a long time I can’t see that being any solace for anyone when they were so close. Certainly would not be any solace for me.

Remember lads, it's not about the end, it's about the friends we made along the way.
You were warned Arsenal fans
What are the Arsenal fans saying now??? Fecking bottlers!
Look at the state of that stadium!

Not enough to aim for "no regression next season". You need 95+ points to win the league these days. Where are those additional 8-10 points going to come from? You've played out of your skins this season, had big moments go your way and couldn't even take the title to the final day. Some title challenge.
They couldn't even take it to the last day. Pathetic
They couldn’t handle the pressure when it became a real possibility they might actually win the title. Pathetic.
Yeah, we had one of the best 2nd place finishes in a long time!
De Zerbi knee slide
Good example of how hard it is to play so many games in a week.
I've been real pissed off about our performances of but if we're honest we were brilliant the few weeks around that two legged Barca tie and the amount of games we've played was always going to catch up. It's insane especially considering the World Cup as well.
They blew it big time.
This is an almighty collapse.
Just been beat by the better team on the day, simple as that. Mistakes punished for the first 2 goals. Brighton done that to many a team this season.
Brighton went a goal up and didn't look back.
The game last week was no reflection of how they've been all season. Had they went a goal up against Everton, game would've been completely different.
Seriously! You'd think they're Real Madrid supporters or something, used to winning every year. Their first real title challenge in years and they couldn't remain and applaud the team off for the effort. Such a spoiled bunch. Say what you will about the scousers, they're never leaving Anfield in droves just because they missed out on the title after putting up a good fight most of the season.
It was inevitable.
Jesus is not that good to begin with. And a team needs more than 3 really good players with potential to win the league.
And the reason you will probably regress next year is not these highlighted players but the rest. Players like Xhaka, Tierney, White etc.
They’ve just been taken to the cleaners in their own back yard. They’ve folded so quickly they’ve even let City win the title in the next game which is their final home game.They told us they were in a Title race.
Everyone laughed at Neville and he’s been completely right so far.
There’s a reason City is the only team not to really have a lull. Any other team with normal, non juiced squads have struggled to keep the same levels after the WC at certain points.
How are you so certain that Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, etc haven't played out of their skins this season in a purple patch and won't be as good next year.
As you said, they're still in development and development isn't a straight line, it's up and down.
If the only way you will regress next season is if the players regress then I'd expect that more than improvement from a high point already.
Especially with the psychological damage capitulating like this will have on the whole squad and management.
100%. That's why people won't understand why I despise Arsenal so much! That's not even factoring in what they did to Wenger. I absolutely detest Arsenal and their disgusting fans.
Not everyone just arsenal fans. Neville was always right.
Has Arteta been watching Dragon Ball Z?
There were an awful lot of giddy Gooners posting here a month or so ago. Where are they now?
Who didn't think this would happen, really?
You have to give credit to Liverpool (you don't) but they've been the real deal in their fight against City.
This Arsenal team are probably slightly better than Mourinho's United but not on the level of City or Liverpool.
I think we'll see this team humbled next season. Although I think they'll be in the mix for top 4.

What’s cute is they rested players in cup games because they had “bigger fish to fry”. Unfortunately the cooker packed in 4 weeks ago.
Yep. All those deluded cnuts hounding him over the fact he didn’t think they’d win the league. They thought they that it sewn up, couldn’t happen to a nicer fan base.
He wasn't. Arsenal fans took the hump because he said Utd had more of a chance.
Never in doubt.

This is embarrassing
This is why ETH has been going all in on every game. He knows the importance of building a winning mentality. Arteta let Arse take their foot off the gas, they lost the mental title race at that point.
Not really . He also clearly said that there was a long long way to go and that Arsenal will fall apart which is exactly what happened
