Arsenal

For me Arsenal are probably the lesser of the evils but not that bothered between them or City winning it.

I expected them to collapse but I thought they'd at least get to late March before city took the lead.

Out of the scab 6 it's city fans that least bother me. It doesn't seem like there are that many of them and out of the ones I know they're all pretty sound and self aware of their situation. I don't really begrudge their success either. At the end of the day, it's going to take petro state backing to get anywhere near the top.

I know it doesn’t represent the common, every day Arsenal fan, but I hate the in your face Arsenal fans who seems to appear all over the internet and Television, like AFTV, and it’s associate Troopz, and the overall consensus that they’re “THE” team, despite not really being a contender for the title for 20 years.

So I can’t be bothered with them, they remind me of Kopites, so I’ll take City winning the lot, especially as it stops less teams laughing at us for our lack of success.

I met that Lee Judges after the game at Goodison and he was sound

Didn't meet any of the others though

Don Robbie was in the middle of an interview

Shame I never got to meet Claude (RIP)

Thought they competed well and were the better team first half…. Second half city seemed to tweak things and had a lot more of the ball and they are relentless applying pressure on a deep sitting defence. Don’t think it was arsenal’s intention to sit deeper second half , I just think city stepped it up a gear and forced arsenal deep.

Aye, Arsenal weren't poor in the second half by any means, yet rather City came out and upped the gears, with tactical changes that helped influence the game.

Arsenal edged the first-half, and I think most teams would have been thrashed in the second half by how pumped up City were.

It'll be interesting to see how Arsenal respond from this lull because it's only early and you'd expect City to drop points at some point.

Anything that confirms the hegemony of the kleptocratic nation state in the Greed Is Good League is fine by me. Every time City or Chelsea wins, a little part of me rejoices as the influence of financial doping chips off a little bit more of the deluded, self-aggrandising notion of Liverpool and United fans that the natural order is them winning everything and the Premier League is still some kind of good, positive force in world football.

City winning shows the league up for what most of us know it is: bent. As long as fans and clubs tolerate this flagrant corruption, long may it continue.

When Liverpool or United win it, it's a "great product". When they don't, it's a stitch-up. Nah, lads. It's just a stitch up ever time - but you're happy to go along with it on those rare years you get a crumb from the kleptocrats' table.

Tell you what, they might not get another chance at this title, if United get this buy out and investment, Chelsea get the right manager with investment and Newcastle too, its going to be a lot harder next season.
