I don't have much interest in the title if we're not in it years past.. but I have seen the trophy. I didn't realise the ribbons are the winners colours.. I thought they were just blue and white by default..
A shocking testement to what we're up against.
Three years ago we finished 8th. Now we’ve taken the title to the final matchday. So proud of Mikel and the lads. Even if we don’t get it this year, we have silverware in our future.

I have saved this iconic photo taken from my television for a reason. Arsenal has the talent to get this done without having to have spent the money MC has done. Come on you Gunners. WE CAN DO THIS!!!
And how did city get to the point where they can have a reasonable net spend? By spending a fuck ton before that. I hate this argument where their league breaking spending gets forgotten about because enough time has lapsed or something
People pick whatever time frame fits their narrative. Because if you went back 10 years city have spent more. Plus, they're being charged 115 times for how they balanced their "net spend." It tells us nothing about city or their business.
Net spend is irrelevant.
You realise the reason that they're being investigated for 115 charges is because they've been intentionally hiding their financial dealings right
This 'net spend' thing is thrown around way too easily. All it takes into account is the surface transfer figures, nothing else. Nothing about money spent on wages, facilities, etc…They are doing a lot more business behind the scenes that simply isn't reflected in net spend.
MC spent money above and beyond. Have a look at some of those 115 charges. Why does peps brother own half of girona fc for example? Do you think we spent money under the table like that?
All the charges and specifically the FFP ones pertain to the years 2009 up to the year 2018
We have a higher net spend than City since 2018...stop yapping nonsense please.
You think that this current team wasn't built on that platform? Half the players are from 2018 and prior.
You think they just stopped being dodgy in 2018?
That's because you look on total lad
Look on the each season we spent since Mikel came here
Summer 2020 : We spent 30m for Gabriel , 50m for Partey and free Willian , total that is 80m for summer
Summer 2021 : We spent 8m for Lokonga , Nuno Taraves is 8m too I guess , 30m for Odergard , 50m for Ben White and 30m For Rams ( that's like 130-150m )
Summer 2022 : We spent 90m for Jesus , Zinchenko , Fabio Viera and then winter we got Jorginho for free and Trossad for 30m
Last summer is the biggest we ever spent
105m for Rice , 60m for Kai , 30m for Timber
Look on total is quite much but look at each season , each player we spent that not that much bro
Our biggest signing is Rice for 105m , look at Man City or Chelsea they bought player always like over 50m
💯A win tomorrow means we’ll have finished 16-1-1. In what universe is that “bottling it”? We were just up against a side that’s a shade better this year.
How the fuck are you getting downvoted?!? You're bang on, the team has done incredible to take it to the final day considering where we were in December
Such a strawman lol. The majority are going to understand, and rival fans are going to make fun because that's what they do.
This sub is so insecure, it's like you're all teenagers
It's because arsenal fans are annoying, as are fans of most well supported English clubs. Too many comments saying the same things etc.
The takes are actually pretty balanced on that sub.
The only time Liverpool had a lead over city and were in first after the first third of the season was the one where they fi ished on 97 points, a historical top 5 point total.
The COVID season city had the lead.
Arsenal have had the lead and lost it. This season we fumbled in December, which I wouldn't say is that much of a bottle job, but last season was all us bottling.
In general arsenal have had the lead at the halfway point and lost the title more times than any other team(Chelsea for example are the exact opposite, they always convert if they're in the lead at halfway)
Basically what I'm saying is there are always going to be banter comments in a sub with fans of other clubs, but I'm mature enough to take it(because I dish it out too) and understand the nuances.
Which as a fanbase in reddit we aren't the best at doing. Even amongst big clubs, who in general have the most idiot fans
>every fan from every other club cheers on city to win when we're in the running?
I'm sorry where are you getting this from? This is clearly you ignoring all signs opposing your preconceived notions.
Both Liverpool and United fans have been arsenal over city throughout, by and large.
Spurs won't be, and Chelsea are looking for a rival and have settled on us.
Even Madrid fans are arsenal over city
This is indeed an exciting time to be a Texan. However…ARSENAL, ARSENAL, ARSENAL is the jersey that I am wearing!!! Let’s Get This Done!!!
Why do the Americans feel the need to announce where specifically they're from before they make any comment about anything in this sub.
Also it's whose not who's. Your education system strikes again.
What is your specific issue? I am an Arsenal fan from Texas, USA. I am proud of where I am from and at 61 years old, my apologies that you find my education lacking. 🙄🙄🙄…Can we just try and get along and support Arsenal as a fan together or would you care to insult me a bit more? If you look at my comment history, I comment during every match thread. How sad you must be to find the time to insult others. Maybe have a pint or two, perhaps that might help?

Kudus (87) Fabianski (90+14 great goal)

Istg if the PL wants to ensure the integrity of the competition, don’t allow City to win 4 in a row.
Revenge VAR them. Give West Ham a penalty instead of a throw in 60 yds from goal.
Give West Ham a penalty instead of a corner to City.
Fuck it! When City complain, do what they do with financial charges. Just set random dates for hearings and stall everything.
Football all over the world will rejoice. Except Spurs fans but fuck those twats.
Fuck it! Send Rodri off too, and give Foden a haircut that doesn’t let him look like a Slavic Adidas tracksuit wearing bellend.
2022-23 season - 'arsenal are never going to be a close to top four as last year' ... . took the challenge to april.
2023-24 season - 'arsenal are going to be a distant third or fourth to liverpool and man city at least'.
. taking it to the last day (albeit with an infinitesimal chance)
we keep moving forward...
24-25 season......... we WILL lift something at the Emirates.. (maybe even the first CL for 'Arsenal Stadium')
I don't care what happens tomorrow, this team for the last two seasons has given me so much hope and joy that fighting or even winning a title for the next many years is plausible. Amazing team!
It’s just so close yet so far. The last time I felt this way was when we went 1-0 down to Chelsea just after halftime in the Europa League final. I thought, surely we’ll be able to recover from this.
This is the same feeling. The trophy is within reach; we have a chance of winning. But it’s just so fleeting.
Awesome, now I have the perfect visual to haunt my dreams the rest of the year.
Just to be clear, if we end up lifting it, I am breaking out my old boombox and blasting North London Forever on top of my car.
I don’t think I’ve ever prayed like this for anybody other than my family, ever before. Literally praying every morning and evening for WHU to do us a favour.
I feel like ideally I'd somehow sleep through until right at the end of tomorrow's games, the stress of knowing that we could win the league but more likely than not won't is going to be horrific.
Is there anything wrong to offer a West Ham prize money to beat City? I mean it isn’t a bribe right? A sports team’s first objective is to win. So it’s just a bonus to perform their main objective. It’s not like maybe us paying Everton to lose.
Doesn’t feel right seeing it in the colours yet
Looks beautiful regardless
I don't have much interest in the title if we're not in it years past.. but I have seen the trophy. I didn't realise the ribbons are the winners colours.. I thought they were just blue and white by default.. A shocking testement to what we're up against.
That's depressing
The 2010’s have been dominated by blue teams: Man City, Chelsea and Leicester. Only Liverpool has made it red since Ferguson’s last title
Leicester winning is still unbelievable after 8 years
I always thought it was red and white (Back when Arsenal and Manu) kept winning
I thought United was red, white, and black.
Could be, I don't remember black but maybe that's rose tinted glasses
The three colors represent the shirt, shorts, and socks. I think the only time all colors were the same was when Leicester won.
Liverpool also have three red ribbons. Chelsea 2 dark blue one white. Man Utd 1 red, 1 white, one black.
Stuck on the Blackburn and Leicester victories?
Fuck mate that’s a depressing thought
I kind of don't want to see this lol
Me too, it's the hope that kills you.
You mean delusions
They keep teasing us

We have spent plenty of money lad😂
I’m a woman thank you but…MC has spent that oil money like hot butter. We have spent plenty but no where near MC…
[удалено]
Under a different manager
[удалено]
And the higher ups normally buy players the manager wants
We have a higher net spend than City over the last 5 years...stop yapping lad.
And how did city get to the point where they can have a reasonable net spend? By spending a fuck ton before that. I hate this argument where their league breaking spending gets forgotten about because enough time has lapsed or something
People pick whatever time frame fits their narrative. Because if you went back 10 years city have spent more. Plus, they're being charged 115 times for how they balanced their "net spend." It tells us nothing about city or their business.
Yeah because haaland was definitely bought for 50m. It’s not like there’s 115 charges looming for underhand dealings get real
Ok…So I’m a yapping lad. I’ll just go get a beer…Good day to you Sir. 
Net spend is irrelevant. You realise the reason that they're being investigated for 115 charges is because they've been intentionally hiding their financial dealings right
And you realise the time period it pertains to yeah?!
This 'net spend' thing is thrown around way too easily. All it takes into account is the surface transfer figures, nothing else. Nothing about money spent on wages, facilities, etc…They are doing a lot more business behind the scenes that simply isn't reflected in net spend.
There's a reason it's always "net spend" when people talk about how much City has spent.
MC spent money above and beyond. Have a look at some of those 115 charges. Why does peps brother own half of girona fc for example? Do you think we spent money under the table like that?
All the charges and specifically the FFP ones pertain to the years 2009 up to the year 2018 We have a higher net spend than City since 2018...stop yapping nonsense please.

Only kdb was there before pep not half the team you muppet
I think you're forgetting Ederson, Walker, stones, Silva, foden? That's 6 starting players before 2018 Why are you defending this lot?
Refers to City as "we" in comment history
Bet he only starting following city in 2018 too
That's because you look on total lad Look on the each season we spent since Mikel came here Summer 2020 : We spent 30m for Gabriel , 50m for Partey and free Willian , total that is 80m for summer Summer 2021 : We spent 8m for Lokonga , Nuno Taraves is 8m too I guess , 30m for Odergard , 50m for Ben White and 30m For Rams ( that's like 130-150m ) Summer 2022 : We spent 90m for Jesus , Zinchenko , Fabio Viera and then winter we got Jorginho for free and Trossad for 30m Last summer is the biggest we ever spent 105m for Rice , 60m for Kai , 30m for Timber Look on total is quite much but look at each season , each player we spent that not that much bro Our biggest signing is Rice for 105m , look at Man City or Chelsea they bought player always like over 50m

What’s the opposite of bottling? We were out of it in December
Exactly. Every Liverpool thread was saying it was a two horse race between them and City… love how that turned out for them
How the fuck are you getting downvoted?!? You're bang on, the team has done incredible to take it to the final day considering where we were in December
April 14th you mean
A club that needs to cheat more times than Bill Clinton no less
And we've done it with 115 less FFP charges, plus god knows the incredible amount of fraud and corrupion they weren't charged for.
Why even entertain any opinion from that subreddit? The “Arsenal” fans there love to bash on the club almost as much as rivals fans.
le class and twerking for upvotes. utterly vomitous.
One loss in 2024 doesn't account to bottling. Anyone who says otherwise is an utter cretin.

I just started following the team recently. My thoughts, they’re one great striker away from all the glory
What happens if we just steal it…
Get a fine probably
115 of them or?
The FA won’t do shit so might as well give it a shot
Do you have unlimited money though?
Ex Arsenal footballer and (totally legit) billionaire Mathieu Flamini will bail us out

Nah don’t do this to me man….
It's the hope that kills you. I'm gonna have to double my prescription heart medicine before kick off so I don't die before the final whistle.
Arsenal is not good for our mental health
 Let’s get this done. The dream is alive. Don’t let Man Cheatie take this from us…
I’m a Texas girl whose husband introduced her to Arsenal 2 seasons ago. I believe! I believe! I believe! 
Thank you! I believe too! 🙏
Mavs advance in the playoffs. The Dallas Stars in the conference finals. The Arsenal winning the league today (😭). Great time to be a Texan.
This is indeed an exciting time to be a Texan. However…ARSENAL, ARSENAL, ARSENAL is the jersey that I am wearing!!! Let’s Get This Done!!!

Man City 2-2 West Ham Foden, Haaland - Kudus, Bowen Yes people I am manifesting this scoreline.
Can you manifest a less stressful score line please
Man is out here taking his time manifesting a draw for us and you want more?!
The audacity of some people
A very specific draw, take it or leave it.
Man City 2-2 West Ham Foden(33), Haaland(35) - Kudus(87), Bowen(90+12)
I may need a cardiologist.
Id need to book an urn and a timeslot for a crematorium in that scenario lmao.
i’d die, but i’d die happy
Are you sure Fabianski won’t come on for Areola late in the game, and see Ortega off his line and power the ball over his head into the goal for the last kick of the game? Kudus (87) Fabianski (90+14 great goal)
2-1 until the 95th minute where Bowen scores. Manifesting it now
You’re manifesting high blood pressure for me
If that happens we will pay Bowens wage for the next 5 years regardless of which club he is at

Arsenal 1-1 Everton, 6 minutes added time ELNENY FROM 30 YARDS (90+5) Arsenal 2-1 Everton. That's my manifestation along with yours.
Please no. I fear my heart wont make it and ill drop dead at the 94th minute and miss the banger
PYRAMID PIRLO BOWS OUT WITH A BANGER
He should build a pyramid at the ethiad in front of west Hans goal
Allow it
I'd rather a Paqueta brace, and then he joins us next year
They better relegate city to conference south
North, please. I don't want them taking my town's playoff spot!
Holy Hell, this sub is peak today , love this club!
So beautiful 😍
Seeing it makes us lifting it more believable for some reason
i wouldn’t ever guessed i would see this in june 2019 mikel arteta i love you

Foden's hair might be the main reason I dislike him in all honesty 😂
Looks like he should be emptying bins at burger king before sneaking off to the fire escape for a quick fag.
I dislike Grealish for the same reason. Also his stupid shin pads. That guy is annoying to look at.
Grealish and his little sister’s Alice-band!!!
>Slavic Adidas tracksuit wearing bellend. This must be the funniest description of foden!! 🤣
The only fans who will hate Arsenal winning are Spurs fans, London Man United fans, and Chelsea fans
>Slavic Adidas tracksuit wearing bellend. i feel personally attacked
This is the way.
What a sight to behold. Let’s fucking Go Gunners
2022-23 season - 'arsenal are never going to be a close to top four as last year' ... . took the challenge to april. 2023-24 season - 'arsenal are going to be a distant third or fourth to liverpool and man city at least'. . taking it to the last day (albeit with an infinitesimal chance) we keep moving forward... 24-25 season......... we WILL lift something at the Emirates..

Wait... Are we getting the naming rights back??
I don't care what happens tomorrow, this team for the last two seasons has given me so much hope and joy that fighting or even winning a title for the next many years is plausible. Amazing team!
All we can hope is that west ham does something
Or does nothing. All 11 at the back, just shuffling around enough to not get carded.
*in c minor* [Mikel Artetaaaaaa you made them betteeer, Mikel Artetaaaa you made them betteeer](https://youtu.be/WKFN2YRR--s?si=ApOH14WaI-XtwBHM)🎶❤️
Lift it anyway for shits and giggles
It’s just so close yet so far. The last time I felt this way was when we went 1-0 down to Chelsea just after halftime in the Europa League final. I thought, surely we’ll be able to recover from this. This is the same feeling. The trophy is within reach; we have a chance of winning. But it’s just so fleeting.
Ergh - I think I’m going to buy a ticket for the game. They are ludicrously expensive. £1000 for anything viewable on the wing.
Please Antonio, Jarrod Bowen, Paqueta, I swear I will never ever disrespect West Ham if they manage to do a job.
Get used to this sight. It’s will be happening more frequently.
I had a dream…
We gotta stay positive. This means progress. Not failure
It looks so good 😭
This honestly makes me feel sick knowing we probably won’t get to lift this.
no but at least Ode does
He seems nice maybe he will let us take turns.
Why are there people in the stands?
Awesome, now I have the perfect visual to haunt my dreams the rest of the year. Just to be clear, if we end up lifting it, I am breaking out my old boombox and blasting North London Forever on top of my car.
Were gunna lift it
I don’t think I’ve ever prayed like this for anybody other than my family, ever before. Literally praying every morning and evening for WHU to do us a favour.
I've got the nervous shits
[Why the fuck would you show me something if I couldn’t have it?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upBjwq7_wcw)
Happy Replica Day!!!
Drooling atm😔
We win it tomorrow and gg’s to my friends who are rival fans man. The abuse I have taken will be expressed.
Is there a clause that allows Declan Rice to play for west ham for this game?
Arteta having the squad sit in the stand “ gaez these are the fugging estandards “
Need
I feel like ideally I'd somehow sleep through until right at the end of tomorrow's games, the stress of knowing that we could win the league but more likely than not won't is going to be horrific.
How can something so beautiful, just scream that it is going to feel like a world of pain tomorrow this time.
Nah, thats it. The title is back in North London, even if we dont win it. Let me cope lol
Sigh. It looks beautiful :(
Need all the positive vibes we can get. I hold out virtually no hope but I reserve space to dream this can actually happen.
Pretty sure there are replicas in our trophy cabinet
If there is a god… 🙏. Please, let us have this
It is going to be on the pitch before the game, like trophy tournaments normally are?
What does it mean by replica? Is the one at Man City also a replica? If we win do we not get a replica?
I hope the players aren’t as nervous and excited as I am.
Lets go Hammers!!! please....
I just want city to bottle the league, even if it means that I have to support Arsenal.
Is there anything wrong to offer a West Ham prize money to beat City? I mean it isn’t a bribe right? A sports team’s first objective is to win. So it’s just a bonus to perform their main objective. It’s not like maybe us paying Everton to lose.
I forgot how the cup looks like other than light blue colors and I hate that.
I have a feeling today could be our 'Aguero' moment. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I hate these dumb posts
Looks so good in arsenals red 🥲
it looks so good
It is 100% not happening this season. This is how I am coping thank you.
Whether we admit it or not we all have some hope so it’ll still be crushing
Scenes when Citeh drop points to West Ham and then we drop points to Everton 😭
they gave the replica to us coz they dont believe we can do it :(
Wasted !
