Yeah for sure. I think that too. City have shown it's almost impossible to keep up with their consistency over 38 games. They do have a chance though, and if they build up a decently sized lead, they'll at least be able to navigate the rest of the season without the pressure of having to win every single game. They're in a very good place.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
To be fair I work in North London
so surrounded by gooners and whilst all sound human beings, when it comes to arsenal they’re tossers. I know a lot of Liverpool fans too and the Arsenal fans definitely trump them when it comes to levels of tosserness.There’s also this….

I’d say again, I watch a lot of fan online content from all clubs and Arsenal fans always seem to be the top dogs when it comes to being tossers.

It's true, most of the locals are absolute tossers when they've got their Arsenal heads on, they do turn into fecking animals, certainly can't compare with the prawn sandwich luvvies at Chelsea.Very, very true
They haven't played City yet, and City have a game in hand. So it's a potential 2 point lead, isn't it?
We have a game in hand.
edit. sorry, see what you are saying but it's from the same grouping of games and after tonight they'll be on 15 games, same as Arsenal.
Growing up amongst Arsenal fans with a friends circle that is almost exclusively gooners, I can confirm you Arsenal fans are unrivalled when it comes to tossersIt's true, most of the locals are absolute tossers when they've got their Arsenal heads on, they do turn into fecking animals, certainly can't compare with the prawn sandwich luvvies at Chelsea.
In fairness, much as I dislike Arsenal if it comes to a choice between Arsenal and City for the title I hope Arsenal win it. I am sick of all the simpering over Pep.
I thought I just confirmed it too. They take pride in it, being absolute wankers, it's their Culchar.Growing up amongst Arsenal fans with a friends circle that is almost exclusively gooners, I can confirm you Arsenal fans are unrivalled when it comes to tossers
They put their branded T-Shirts and white trainers on and their accents change, the bigger the belly, the more they think you want to see it.

all true.Not saying it's a way of life to admire but what can you do about it? You've got all the locals and the wannabes from Herts yukking it up all you can do is laugh at your own supporters. It's our cross to bear.
In Melbourne it's the Yanited fans that are the biggest flogs. Amazing how it's never your own fanbase.
There's always a few thousand that let a club down
to be fair , they keep it about football as embarrassing as they are. They’re not chanting about football tragedies or throwing things at opposition fans. They pay a lot of money to watch their team and social media is part of it now even if it’s cringey. There isn’t the nasty vile element you can clearly hear even watching other teams on tv.Not saying it's a way of life to admire but what can you do about it?

its only a small section of the fan base too, but they get the most coverage.
as for the title race. It’s great to be in one, got sick of these top 4 races, while city and Liverpool playing in the big games, that we used to against United.
My test for them is actually away to Newcastle which is a very hard game. Fortunately for them, they don't have that game till April. I think they can beat City at home and draw away. Also, looking at their fixture list, it's hard to see where they would drop points given their form. I remember Utd winning the title only on home form as their away games they either drew or lost most of them.
In Scotland its defo Liverpool fans that are most annoying around me. They are just overly obsessive, much more so than any other fans of English teams. Running commentaries on Social Media if they are doing well, constant Liverpool references, ending every post with YAWN or some other shit like that. Just generally need to to be seen and heard at all times.
I’m surprised you think their biggest test will be Newcastle away.
city home and away are still anybody’s biggest test and they still have to face us, Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool at least once each.
I don’t think they are much better than us or any of the other listed clubs. Could easily draw, lose or win all those games.

I was also dreading the Newcastle away game. But ironically the home draw has given me a lot of hope for the away match. Newcastle were comprehensively outplayed, and if we had someone better to come off the bench, like ESR or some new signing(Felix/Mudryk) we would've won that one. Hell, even if had GJ available, we would've come out of that match with all 3 points.
How about discipline Arteta who was like a kangaroo with a firecracker up its arse on the sidelines?

Love the Highbury mural!
Will be weird not seeing the previous artwork with all past players but these look good ! Apparently there is a last one that hasn't been revealed yet.
I wonder if it is possible to loan Raphinha from Barcelona for the rest of the season.

They just keep on winning don't they? Spurs away is always hard for them and they made it look easy.
I think I heard the last time they won at Spurs in the league was in 2014?

Everytime I watch a game of theirs the fans always singing "by far the greatest team" chant or screaming Ahhhhsenoh AhhHhhsenoh.. Is that genuinely all they chant!?
Not everyone is creative as us,looking forward to the game next Sunday
Don’t forget 1-0 to the ArsenalSpeaking of creativity I forgot: Come on ahhsenoh, come on ahhsenoh..
I'd rather them win it than City but things change quickly. In 07-08 they had a fantastic first half of the season, almost everything was going for them, and then things took a horrible turn for them when we thrashed them 4-0 at OT in the FA cup and they had that infamous 2-2 draw with Birmingham.
This team looks mentally stronger though
I find it amazing they've secured 47 points from 18 games.
They're a good side, but not that good.

People keep saying that but it's not like they fluked a few of those results. They are putting in dominant performances. They beat Brighton 4-2 and Brentford 3-0 away. How many other teams are doing that?
They've overperformed their xPTS by 8.
You really think this Arsenal side is good enough to be on pace for 100 points?
They've had a perfect storm of a season(barring the Jesus injury).
And are yet to play City in the league this season, which is great for United
City aren't having a good season
Curious to see what he will do with the EL rotation if we go through next round. If we don't get at least 2 importants incomings in January, he will probably leave it to the B team and assure the fight for the league. There is so many strong teams left in the EL this year that i don't think we should be that bothered about it.
No Gallas in this team. I wonder if they're as individually as good as that side though.
Well up to us to see if we can make them nervous
Nothing has changed even ESR is back. We still need cover in the wing. I agreed Arteta probably will give up the EL if he has to.
