It’s the three games against Pool, WHU and Southampton that did Arsenal in. Should have been 9/9 at the very least 7/9.

This City game was always going to be a loss or at best a draw. End of the day, it’s 3pts and all teams lose. But in the context of the season after those draws, that’s 3pts they had to win.

Needed to come into the City game with at least a 6-8pt cushion.

Southampton was a terrible result but it was already over, pre-Citeh a draw away to us and away in a London derby isn’t the end of the world and doesn’t derail you, not that I have much sympathy :lolbron: it happened to us to us in 019 when we drew away to the Mancs and the Bitters over the course of 3 games and came second by a point :francis:


But it is what it is, that’s the landscape now, they already had that run of 1 point from 9 after the WC so were already lucky that this is a ‘down’ :mjlol: year for Citeh that they were still in this position :manny:


If you an Arsenal fan you would hope that this is a learning lesson and they kick on and is the start like it was with us and they come back hungrier next season. I’m not one of these Pool fans that was rooting against them like some, couldn’t care who won out of the 2 but I’d be lying if there wasn’t a part of me that gets some enjoyment out of it being different when it happens to you after rooting for Citeh to save the league from us the last few years :umad: Citeh win is meaningless and hollow as ever so we good over here :whew:

The Arsenal
yup we should have been 6 points better off right now. the choke job isn't losing to city, it's throwing away 2-0 leads back to back on the road and then the southampton game. losing saliba was a bridge too far it seems.

"the rodri role" now :whoa:?

Makélélé or even biscuits - league smashers and world cup + european cup + champions league winners surpassed by rodri? 3-peat biscuits?

I didnt say anything about surpassing anyone. I said he redefined it. I was very intentional about that. Just like Busquets redefined the role, Rodri is doing the same thing in his own way.
