    Just at the other end of the table.

    Both are pathetic and broken.

    The worst thing is.

    We're going to win **** all and they will survive...
    Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.

      If we win nothing this season. I don't think there will be a season by any team that promised so much and delivered so little. A true bottle job of an astronomical proportion. So embarrassing. I won't even take any solice in Spurs getting relegated if they do. I don't give a f**k I just want us to win things and play good football.

          No manager ever lost his fan base winning ugly. It's losing ugly that sets the mob a hollering

            Controversial opinion - I thought we played pretty well, hit the post twice, Havertz and Martinelli should have scored that chance between them and in the CL Kushonov (or whatever is name is) would have got a red, no attempt to play the ball, anywhere else on the pitch and that's a foul.

              I?m definitely more confident than I was. We did play well and 2-2 would have been a fair result.

              Our fixtures are favourable to theirs. Eze looked good on the left (a concern is his defensive work mind you).

              If we can keep Odegaard and Havertz fit for the next 5 games we have a chance. Let?s win them all.

                  I think most people are pretty happy with how we played yesterday. Unfortunately, we still lost and we had put ourselves in a position where we couldn't afford to.

                  I dont think that was a sending off but I seem to be in the minority

                    Was a borderline challenge for me.

                    Haaland pulling Gabriel all over prior to scoring his goal - how the **** did VAR not consider that a foul?

                      I think the ref did a good job of letting those tussles persist. Was six of one and they were at it all game - so long as the ref was consistent on it (and he was) then no issue from me.

                      Gabriel should have gone for the 'headbutt', though.

                        Again, I dont think so. Haaland puts his head in first and instigated the entire thing. Gabriel is basically nudging him away.

                        If he had gone down, it probably would have been red. Ref made a common sense call. As you say, he'd been doing it all game.

                          I don't think it's controversial, we did play pretty well, and if Eze's shot spins in I think we would have had a draw and possibly a win, at City, and all this negativity and whining would not exist.

                          But still, we're bottlers, a shambles, pathetic, broken - this despite being top of the league with 5 games to play and a CL semi-final to come.

                          The lack of perspective from some on here is really quite astonishing.

                            You said that two weeks ago when we were 9 points clear. And i told you we weren't really 9 points clear. It was a false 9, if you will pardon the pun.

                            My perspective on this hasn't changed all season. We dont look like a side that can win a title, even when everyone else is below par.

                            We all agreed we performed poorly last season. 270 million quid later and we are precisely four points better off than last season.

                            We've now lost four domestic games in a row, knocking ourselves out of two competitions and effectively out of a third.

                            And you think people are overreacting.

                            Well, each to their own, Wes. I understand the frustration on all sides. I just think the blind optimism approach is becoming tired and ignoring the very obvious momentum.

                              It has nothing to do with blind optimism, criticise the play of the team all you like, I've done my fair share as well.

                              But a shambles and pathetic when we're top of the league and in a CL semi-final? You honestly don't have an issue with those adjectives?

                              Calling ourselves that even if we finish 2nd and get knocked out by Atl Madrid makes us sound like spoilt, entitled brats. Other than City there isn't a single set of supporters in the league that wouldn't love to be where we are. Shambles? Pathetic? Broken?
