The difference is though, spurs need points to try and catch Villa for 4th. We’re fighting for nothing.
Throwing pts against Arsenal?
- Thread starter Sky1981
- Start date
When they get away with the charges though, which they will. This will be irrelevant. I’d rather a proper football club win the league any day of the week.
I’m not sure we have much choice
Definitely not. I don't agree with the notion of Arsenal winning the title as being some sort of saviour for us. In actual fact, I would prefer City to win it because Arsenal winning it is a bigger indictment of how pathetic we have been.
Hilarious how in the last decade the biggest City cheerleaders in England have been their supposed local rivals
I can't ever imagine having to do the same for Chelsea. I'd gladly throw any game away if it means United win the title than those cheating bastards in Chelsea.As much as I prefer Arsenal to win the league, we can’t throw a game of football ever. It is about professional pride and you have to give it your all in front of our fans. It is up to Arsenal to beat us and to be honest they have got more than enough to do so. I think Arsenal will beat us either way and win the rest of their games. But I also expect City to comfortably win the rest of theirs and win the league.
Neh I can’t have arsenal having a key win at OT to win the league, let’s win and shut Arteta up.
It's either going to be Arsenal champions 2024 or City champions 2024*
Hate the thought of them winning 4 in a row, no matter how meaningless it now is.
The media and the FA will continue to ignore the 115 elephants in the room but I guess United have to play with integrity.

Silly thread. Firstly because City will probably win it regardless. And secondly it's not it's Liverpool we'd be stopping.
The idea of them winning it was genuinely a sickener.
As stated many times the idea of City winning another title in the "115 charges era" matters not a jot really.
They could win 20 titles back to back and it'd be less of a worry than Liverpool winning 1.
I quite like the idea of Arsenal's long drought continuing as they're arguably the most insufferable fanbase at any sniff of a win.

Agree with the sentiment that as it's not Liverpool involved it changes things.
I wont exactly be upset if Arsenal do us - but it's not a PLEASE LOSE situation as it would be if the scousers were waiting.

I can't believe you think it's a serious conversation to actually throw a game. This is how pathetic our fan base has become.
If the scousers beat Spurs today they will be relying on United and Everton to beat Arsenal so they can finish ahead of them.
I was buzzing when City did us 2-0 a few years back to stop Liverpool winning it - sorry to let you down mate.
Noone cares who is 2nd or 3rd tbh.
We’d take huge confidence into the final with a win!
You've proven my point on how pathetic our fan base is, you did a good job buddy.
Thats my thinking, a couple of good results and a few players back from injury would be a huge boost. We have definitely got a lot to play for.
So nobody wants to finish 5th? Just so Arsenal win the league ahead of city? Providing City drop points too?
How is this even a topic of dicsussion?

Gooners are the scousers of the south, self righteous entitled fans that have deluded themselves into thinking they are special. Hopefully we wreck their season as we did for the scousers.
Yeah and literally no one will care. Even their treble never gets mentioned.
Arsenal fans take over social media when they are top for one weekend in November. Imagine if they win it. No thanks.
As long as the Scouse cnuts don’t win it I’m fine, nobody gives a shit about Citeh anyway.
Oh no not social media!
Well - that’s not to mention most of my football watching friends that I know in real life being Arsenal fans, and how much Sky will milk them winning it after 20 years…
We've been throwing points away all season, 3 more wont hurt
That's true, although I fully trust the FA will conduct a proper investigation and I just can't and will not believe City will be cleared of all those 115 charges.
We'll probably turn on our best performance of the season against Arsenal and pump them 4-0.
Nah. I don't want to throw the game because I don't think it will matter anyway as City will win out. I'd much rather try to qualify for the europa league.
"Throwing" implies we are winning the league.
Very arrogant of some fans to assume we would win the game if we tried our best. Anyway no, try to win this please.
That history books argument is bonkers honestly.
Do you guys not know there was controversy over the 1966 England WC win? How many of you were even born then? And yet you know.
In 50 years from now, City's titles may or may not stand but anyone following football enough to care to go into the history books will know the story behind their wins.

No, I hope we fecking batter them.
While I agree that Arsenal winning the title before us would be bad, City outdoing one of our achievements, after they matched two of our greatest achievements (including our greatest achievement full stop), would be absolutely awful, even though it’s inherently tainted. The media milking of Pep and City as the best ever if they get their fourth in a row will be absolutely insufferable. It would have a negative effect on our reputation, as it will result in them gaining more and more younger fans, which could be self-sustainable.
Nobody’s throwing anything, both us and Spurs will be beaten comfortably.
Yeah we don’t want city to win the league. But no we won’t want to lose to stop them winning the league. That’s such a pathetic attitude.
I remember when the United vs Blackburn league race went to the last game of the season. Do you know who Blackburn played? Liverpool! And guess what, Liverpool beat them. Only reason we didn’t win the league is because we drew or lost against I think West Ham and missed like 5000 goal scoring chances.
The only attitude to take is we are not in the title race. We have our own objectives and have to win our own matches.

City are on course for their 10th league title.
Their dominance will continue for at least another 5 years, meaning a few more titles will be coming their way, unless the football authorities have the gonads to punish them for their cheating.
I don’t like the idea of them getting even close to our 20 league trophies and would rather Arsenal win this season’s race, but it’s City’s to lose now.

I don't think we'll need to worry anyway because we'll lose ourselves, but City winning a 4th in a row and going for a 5th is still bad for the Premier League.
It will make the league even more boring than it already is.

Same here, and that’s a genuine possibility.
I would definitely throw the game to help Arsenal. We have nothing to play for and I can't stand seeing City win the league.
In reality, though, we won't need to throw for Arsenal to beat us, and City will win all of their games, anyway.

We'll be at home against the primary league contenders. Of course we will turn up and be game raising cnuts.
