If City wins EPL they are leveled with us in number of leagues through history. And they are very often UCL contenders. How could one want them to win the league? We are in real danger of City surpassing us in a lot of things.

If Liverpool wins it, having 20 or 21 leagues is same shit for me. Pool over City any time.
 

Cause it won't be such a big deal. Liverpool not winning it for years will be. Just go on and on and on. City. Another title for them. Less of a big deal. 

Don't hate a city fans anywhere near as much as Liverpool. To arrogant. Just don't like them lol. That's why. 

If they surpass us that's our own/boards fault really for not strengthing us where we needed to be. Instead we have players who have been brought out of desperation and otherwise wouldn't feature. 

That's why for me lol.

Pogba has no business there, he sucks. Kovacic any day every day. I would prolly also pick Giroud over Lukaku, at least he has a footballing brain and technical ability to pull off link-up plays.

I don't know what Mourinho does to these players when they get to Manutd, but watching Pogba in Juventus and France is a completely different class to when he plays for United. Lukaku is Belgium's top scorer (2 again in his last match) 24 league goals in his last season at Everton, but suddenly looks like a donkey under Mourinho. I just gave both of them the benefit of a doubt. Even Rashford looks a world beater for England and under Van gaal but Mourinho can't get his attacking players to perform so their being underrated now imo.

Urghhh everyone's results are going to be shite 

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

Agüero still only fucking 30. It is now almost 8 years ago we signed Floppes instead of Kun and he is still banging em in despite a shitload of injuries. Absolute cunt of person as it appears but never gives in, always drags himself up after the most comical of misses even his guilty of. That is what makes the difference. If we had bought agüero back then instead of Torres I think we would have won like 5 out of 8 titles. How many seasons a reliable goal getter up front was the missing peace of the jigsaw to win the league? Then again we probably would never have won the champions league with him as our main striker...

Didn't realise how big their goal difference was

City are going to walk the league again unfortunately. We reaped what we sowed for not investing properly in the squad.

[Laylabelle 9,396]

Still think Liverpool will chase. Not getting amazing results goal wise or playing pretty but it works. Still top just behind on goal diff.. Be nice if that could change

Pretty good article:  https://www.theringer.com/soccer/2018/10/19/17995886/the-premier-league-standings-are-lying-to-you

In the bit about City, you see how dominant the underlying stats say they are.

[Sideshow Luiz 2,310]

C'mon Leicester 1-0.  Referee has been trying his best to gift the match to Arsenal, but they've been too shit to take advantage.

Lets hope it stays that way

Fucking Özil, grrrr

[Vesper 29,118]

Leicester totally got fucked on that Holding handball. Should have been a pen and his 2nd yellow red card.

[Laylabelle 9,396]

I miss the old Arsenal.
