Me too. I'm rooting for Arsenal at this point. City winning the treble is a disaster.

City won’t win the treble, PL, Brighton or Man Utd will win Fa cup

[HEREIAM 83]

True Chelsea supporters don’t want Arsenal to win the PL

[Laylabelle 9,754]

Imagine Arsenal winning the league and future looking all bright while we're in no man lands in 11th place lol...know probably happen but nahhh City can win it and all be lovely!

they may eventually get stripped though

Arse claiming the EPL title will be a joke if they do not win it outright

Even if that did happen, the emotion won't be the same. There fans wouldn't be able to brag the same.

Our season has been shocking and couldn't come to an end sooner enough but if we managed to go to the Emirates and get something there and help City take the title, that will be satisfying enough.

"True Chelsea supporters don't want Arsenal winning the league"

What a load of bollocks.

I hate Arsneal and their deluded fanbase more than anyone.. I am surrounded by the cunts but what does not wanting City to dominate football by winning the treble got anything to do with my legitimacy as a Chelsea supporter?!.

Absolutely fuck all I can tell you.

No one wants city to win the treble here  , just the league 

[Laylabelle 9,754]

Tbh part of me doesn't care who wins what.. rather City win the league but whoever does win..Good on them and means the season will have finally ended! Feels weird to have sod all to play for

Citys title will never be as relevant as Arsenals, bc basically City cheated and bribed the people to not find them guilty of cheating. They will never get the respect of the football world. 

On the other hand, if Arsenal wins the title, the media will suck their sicks and praise them how great they are and u all can prepare for a whole year of "London is red" and "the invincibles are back" talk from their fans and mocking us for having had such a bad season.

A city title would just not affect us as much as Chelsea fans. 

Go City.

This City & bribes nonsense is just pure conspiracy talk but its always something isn’t it. I mean its first they spent too much (pretty sure we did that when Roman came in & again with Boehly) and now its conspiracy theory 274626.

I’d much rather see Arsenal win the PL than City though.

City must be closing in on what nearly 20 trophies since they were taken over. More they win the more claim they have to becoming the powerhouse of English football of the past 10-15 years - which again wouldn’t exactly be inaccurate either as only Liverpool have sustained in challenging them longer than just 1 season. They have what 6 PL titles as it is? And at least 10 domestic cups ie FA cup & Carabao.

I fully expect them to beat Arsenal now and probably go win the PL. They have everything and more importantly Haaland. They are also the best side in the CL barring maybe Real Madrid but even then pound for pound, its close.

Oh wow u really think that there is no corruption in football🤣

I guess there were people calling the Quatar WC voting also consporacy theory - till it got proven. 

UEFA and FIFA are mafia organisation and that is well documented.

One of the many accusations against City & PSG will eventually come back to haunt them. They've broken the law in order to unethically fund the squads they currently boast.

I'm with you on the Arsenal stance, though. We might be local rivals, but I envisioned a potential league success for them being similar to Leicester's, which was short-lived. However, they appear to be on track to make more unwelcome history by throwing away another title, so this discussion will likely be irrelevant in a few weeks.

The same was said before they were knocked out by Monaco, Lyon, & Tottenham. Haaland isn't going to be the difference this year.

Theres corruption in everything not just football. But even then, as Chelsea fans right now we should be much more concerned with how our clubs being run - as opposed to jumping on the back of rumours about other clubs who may or may not have done something illegal…. Even weirder their seems to be some sort of obsession with City, Barca & PSG on here everytime there is something 🤣

The accusations are just accusations though and 99/100 times they wont stick. City & PSG far too big and far too clever. As are all big clubs. But again as mentioned above, more to focus on closer to our club than the others.

More than 100 "accusations"? Manchester City charged with breaking financial rules by Premier League - BBC Sport

UEFA are one thing, while the FA are another. I'd be shocked if nothing sticks after a four-year investigation found 100 breaches. I wouldn't be so sure about that; just look at Juventus' recent sanctions - Why were Juventus docked points and what happens next? | Football News | Al Jazeera

9 times out of 10, the past catches up with people, one way or another. 

I just had to comment on your previous post, which took me by surprise. What happens elsewhere doesn't bother me in the slightest, unless the outcome has a direct impact on us.

Don't worry, they will somehow stretch it to hand the transfer ban to us 😂

It will stick, of course. City will have to pay 10000 pounds and the FA will wave they finger in slightly angry manner.

Charged is a loose term though - going from that article up until now nothings come of it. Whats taking the mighty FA so long? No fines. No point dockings. No threats after the initial day or 2 they announced it with the statement and what may happen articles posted all over the BBC. Nothing.

If they had enough damming evidence they’d of done something drastic but they haven’t got a smoking gun so obviously what they have is circumstantial at best. Or they’d be in such a position to do something drastic which City couldn’t battle in the courts, right? But they haven’t. So speaks volumes.

It also took them how many years to come forward with this? Its not exactly caught up with them yet. I’d be surprised if anything comes of it in the next 2 or 3 years either at this rate because it will go to CAS probably. 

Look how far UEFA got with City for FFP the last time. Plus does anybody actually think the FA are going to go and strip titles or remove points off the club who since 2010 has won the most PL titles? It would be embarrassing as much for them as City. The worlds greatest league, clubs basically financially doping in the already richest league in history, imagine? With the biggest TV deals. The biggest players. The biggest coaches…. I’d be very surprised if it doesn’t end up being an apology and a relative substantial fine to the FA. They are no different than UEFA or FIFA despite their insistence - at the end of the day it will all come down to money. If it comes down to a figure, City will pay it and they will accept it. Case will be closed.

Juventus situation is different though because historically, Serie A are usually quite proactive and a season or two doesn’t pass without some sort of scandal being declared and/or people being investigated and prosecuted for things related to financial doping or fiddling their books or whatever else. But thats probably just as much because there is a history of corruption over there in football. They had an investigation into over 50 executives and directors in Serie A & B cleared last year IIRC, which is also believed to have led into what happened with Juventus & their board.

They'll make an example of them, just not the way some think like stripping them of titles, etc.

Toney is still playing each week despite millions of violations. The FA is clueless most of the time but gets its way, to some degree, and I expect the same where City are concerned.

As stated above, they'll be made an example of. The magnitude of the actual punishment is up in the air right now, so only time will tell. 

[Laylabelle 9,754]

Liverpool sod all to lose really..and won 6-1. This is what we need to do just go for it..though our lot can't score 1

Though guess they can get higher and higher if they get a run going and others drop points who knows..

I remember when we were 10th together.
