First minute of injury time was injury by Bournemouth player. Refs stole 2 points from Arsenal a couple of weeks ago against Brentford. Arsenal is writing beautiful story like Leicester. 

Yuck

I don't mind Arteta winning. But Arsenal? Hell no.

if that was Chelsea playing the ref would have blown the whistle at 96 min, but for Arse they gift them 2 extra min. Piss off

FA trying to revive the United Arsenal glory days.

And tbh, if not City, I'd prefer United to win.

Had a tenner on Arsenal when they were 2-0 down, it was like printing money.

Kept saying to my lads at 2-2 with 90 plus 6 on the clock....."Play until Arsenal score" 

Always going to happen

Arsenal scum were so lucky at least their Norf London cousins went all Spursy as usual

in what universe is Arsenal winning the league beautiful? unless you are an Arsenal fan 🤣

For me personally Pep and City are always number one enemy. For sure all neutrals around the world all cheer for Arsenal because they are inferior side.

FA desperate to stop City, once the corner was cleared the referee would normally blow his whistle, time was well up..one word fixed

By that token, even their rigged FA Cup final win against us was also well deserved.

I'm sure all the 'neutrals' were cheering for Arsenal when Arteta won his first trophy

Arsenal are not an inferior side, they've just been very very lucky with injuries this season (i.e. I don't recall them having multiple first team players out with injury at the same time).   They had a stat the other day where it said Arteta has made 20 or less changes to his first choice XI across the season....compare that to Potter who has had to make 70+ changes in the season.

Did seem funny..ish when they lost Jesus there was this was this feeling of ooo this is when they fall apart..except turns out they have other players just as capable. That also helps.  And lack of injuries aside their players have a desire. Haven't lost confidence when going goals down just carry on till they've won really.

What do you mean they are not inferior side? How many players would make City starting 11? Only Saka. City second team is better on paper. Before season you would say they have a chance for title?

Liverpool’s old, aging squad looked done and dusted when they were right there in the mud with us level on points. Looked like they were in desperate need for a total rebuild.

Look at them now. What an elite manager can do.

[Laylabelle 9,411]

Remember when Liverpool looked unlikely to get top 4 and seemed like would finish near us...Happy days.

They have a WC keeper (on his day) and arguably the best player in the league. Form is temporary....
