City have played us 3 times and spanked us 3 times. I have no idea how people have ever said we are better them? Not just Tony C. There are complete melons on TikTok putting more Arsenal players in a combined City x Arsenal squad then City. Sorry what?

This team is only good enough for some sporadic good runs here and there, we don't have a champions spirit. I could tell that when we lost to City in the cup then went and blew our points gap in the next 3 games that we are not good enough to win the league. So luckily I'm not emotionally invested in our capitulation.

It's just bizarre how overly gassed up the Arsenal fans have become over our ability this season. We are not THAT good. And Arteta should stay for one season more at least. Let's see what CL football can bring out of him.
Our season will still be a success if, and it's a big if. We tie down Saka and Saliba to long term contracts. That's the big positive to take. We still have in theory about 5 of the World's best players for their age in their position. I'm still not convinced Saliba will sign due to how the club fcuked up his early career. If he doesn't sign i'd happily lose him on a free the following year than take the 50m this summer. The last few games have shown the massive difference he makes. We're not getting the CL next year if he's not in the team so there's no point in selling for money we'd get in the cl anyway. I'd be offering him £200'000 a week minimum now.
