As a new fan, why is everyone congratulating Man City? Do they have an easier schedule coming up or is this just an Arsenal self depreciating thing?

Bit of both

But more so Man City have a game in hand, have to play Arsenal at the Etihad and have title winning pedegree.

All those elements points towards Man City taking over Arsenal.

Combination of City having an easier PL schedule, them winning 4 of last 5 titles, hunting down other teams during this stretch with a bigger points gap, and Arsenal having been in a title race for parts of previous seasons, then falling apart at the end.

Should have known it wouldn't be so easy at Anfield even at 2-0 and we learnt the hard way.

Trent and Liverpool put in a masterclass the moment Granit fired them up :snoop:

The Barclays is something else bwoi :banderas:

Title race is over though, done, finished.

City have clicked now, there's no way they don't win it.

I came around to wanting Arsenal to win it as well, but we know the story from here.
