@Martin yeah but their wage bill is off the charts. And their revenue is shady as f**k.
Plus they spent a billion before they got to that point.
Not saying that instantly makes you a success. Look at Chelse recently. But it sure as s**t helps if you're at least competent.

@Richard-Latimer this may be worth a look, tells a different story RE: Man City and Pep

Interesting that the only club to show a positive in the last 3 years is Everton and they have been deducted the most points for financial irregularities...?????
-
@Richard-Latimer I've been here for years watching Liverpool get so so many points only to not win it!
-
@Arran-Shackell lovely job that one eh? These power prices are cracking value

"I just Can't believe Arsenal gave 6 points to Aston Villa and sacrificed their Premier League title just so that Spurs miss out on top four ffs.
Such a small club mentality"I just remember the days when 89pts would generally win you a league.
In a competitive league you should be able to drop a few points and still have every chance because those around you will drop points too.
Basically Roman Abramovic has destroyed the premier league the minute he took a club close to bankruptcy and started pumping in his dirty money.
Man City have just taken it much further. And the Premier league are complicit.
115 charges and still stomping over everyone with hardly a bad word said by the pundits. Just banging on about how good they are, how amazing pep is.
Good manager, innovative manager but also a first class example of a chequebook manager.

@John-Folan it's never going to happen but would be f*****g hilarious if West Ham held City ro a draw after all that.
All the small minded bitterness for nothing.
-
@james-everard I wanted them to get at least a draw. Arsenal's success is more important than a rivals failure.
Never would I wear another shirt though. That's just stupid.
-
@John-Folan Man City being Man City cost us the league. I just think it's incredible. As a manager you've would be fuming.
Can't ever say I'd cheer for Arsenal to lose.
Concentrate on your own game. It's just bitter.
The best analogy I heard was from Mark Goldberg. It's like standing at your window laughing as your neighbours wife leaves him him. You of course are on your own and have no life as you just stand at the window watching what you're neighbour is doing.

@John-Folan Hi Mate Arsenal fan here. I found both Spurs and Arsenal fans an absolutely embarrassing yesterday.
The Gunners fans who were wearing Spurs tops cheering on their arch enemy, and the Spurs fans not wanting to win a game when a champions league place is still on in just in the hope Arsenal can't win the league.
I wasn't wanting Spurs to win last night never would and i would never sit in a stadium cheering an opposition goal.
Arsenal lost the league with only 1 point out of 6 against Fulham and losing at home to Villa. -

That utter clown on talksport wearing a Man City shirt sums it up. Then Ange having to ask his own fans who's side they were on during the game as he's consistently being told to throw it.
I get they didn't want us to win but actively hoping to lose when you still have a decent chance of Champions League Football next season.
Surely this is seriously small time and says everything about Spurs.
It was the greatest bit of trolling ever. Iβve had Arsenal fans moaning at me all day and itβs been glorious . In reality Champions league was going to be too much for us next year and the fact we havenβt already qualified speaks volumes. Weβve spared ourselves that embarrassment and rather than concentrate on the fact that Arsenal just werenβt good enough to win the league they are going to say we cost them which is hilarious.
Anyway Iβm going back to Twitter to read the incessant whinging. Fun times
COYS!!!
Iβm also going to watch my new DVD. I can send it when Iβm finished

Excellent bit of research buddy

Just noticed this on the BF Sportsbook
This is a selection that has landed in 4 of Newcastleβs last 5 games & in 6 of their last 8.
When Newcastle played Man Utd earlier in the season they had 22 shots.
When playing against teams in the top 10, Utd have conceded 16+ shots in 6 of their last 7, that includes 3 of their last 4 at home.
United have conceded an average of 20.5 shots per PL game in 2024. -
Iβd be interested to know if/how people are making use of the streaks stats in the highlights email? And if you are, how itβs going?
-
@Arran-Shackell you absolute legend - smarkets do offer corners and the market I want to bet on. You hero! No getting gubbed for me.

I thought smarkets did but i might be wrong.
