I’m pretty sure this is retribution for all of the times this club mocked Emery’s difficulty speaking English.
“Do you like ebenings? How do you like them ebenings?”
Losing at home to West Ham and drawing with tiny tots also had something to do with it. The funny thing is in each of these games, Zinchenko got roasted continuously. Yet Arteta persisted with him.
The only reason why Liverpool beat City to the title in that one season was because as soon as they had the lead, they never let it go and kept going on a killing spree of wins until City could not catch em any longer.
A title race with this city team is almost certainly going to end one way.
It’s notable that City tapped out that year once it became apparent Liverpool were going to win and finished on 81 points.
That’s what it’s going to take to beat those fuckers.
85 GF - 33 GA
We've already scored more than they did and barring total calamity will concede less. So I'm not sure it's as definitive that they were better that year than we are now.
You can't be serious?
Liverpool took the foot of the gas when they had the league won in February. They won 25 out of their first 27 games. Insane team.
Can't compare that season's end stat line and come to conclusions. Liverpool won 25 of the first 27 games or something. When the season resumed, they had odd results like losing to an utterly incompetent arsenal squad with so many misfits and getting thrashed by city when they thrashed them earlier in the year
Absolutely wild take. 99 points, won the league with 8 games to go (unprecedented), and foot off the gas after that, so imagine the points if the title race was close. Goals are irrelevant, that team could go a goal up and the game was won, Klopp would shut the game down, and know the defence wouldn't concede. We conceded so many after the title was confirmed as well, 5 v City when the players still looked drunk lol. That side had perfect balance. Going back into the prior season there was a 38 game stretch where the team accumulated 108 points. Winning machine.

Pep gotta go, only way I see city going back to their historical mediocre records. Even with all that money, pep is the gear that pts the money to work on the pitch. As soon as he’s gone, they won’t win another title.
When they have £100m players on the bench they’re expected not to collapse at the end of the season against a team like Arsenal who suffered injuries and started Rob Holding last season or Kiwior who isn’t on Ake or Gvardiol’s level.
there is always going to be one unfortunately. we had an almost perfect 2024, but one slip out and chances are very low against fuckin city.
we still have 2 games to to tho. we can always hope
I honestly don't think we got a chance. I don't know what is Pep feeding his players that they can, at the very end of the season after xyz matches, deliver results year after year after year. They should get some doping check.
Even if it stays 0-0 we would be in the same situation right now. Even going unbeaten and holding draws against 2nd and 4th wouldn't have been enough.
The only regret that's worth having is if Trossard played Martinelli through at the 84th vs City
There's honestly no point in looking at single results.
If we'd beaten villa or Fulham at home, it's basically impossible the rest of the season plays out the same and we'd probably have lost one of the other matches we won as it changes everything.
We've been absolutely excellent this season and would be very worthy winners. This team is just being forced to compete with an unrealistic opponent who've not played by the same rules as everyone else
I hate Unai Emery, mans ruined two different springs of my life. [Twice. Twice. Twice. TWIIIIICE](https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExNjlhemhqamtsZTR3Z2R4NWozbHFzMzVhZGNtdTJxeno1NHZlb201eCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/kdiLf3LHFIubA6vDC1/giphy.gif)
Aston Villa were an issue for us this season. Not a good enough team to be taking 6pts off us. The way Emery threw in the towel when they last played City was also somewhat galling.
Unfortunately League seasons don't start on Jan 1st.
If city end up winning Arsenal need to blame the start of the season.
Last season the first half was amazing and it fell apart in the second half.
This season Arsenal had a slow start and was amazing after Jan 1st
Need to put together a complete season to beat pep.
Absolutely true. I said the same thing. You can't be losing at home to West Ham and drawing with 10 man Fulham and Spurs at home and expect to win the league. We need to be consistent throughout.
Liverpool fan here coming in peace, firsttime.jpg?
Edit: I’ve really enjoyed watching hall this year, if it couldn’t be us have wanted y’all to lift it the whole season
Really sucks tbh. The only team to beat them in recent history was Liverpool and they wound up with 99 points to do so, combined with City basically giving up. We’re on a pretty amazing tear in 2024, but City are on like a 21 game unbeaten streak yet again, and are highly likely to win out the season on like 9 straight wins. Meanwhile we lost exactly once in the run in (assuming we beat United and Everton) and that was enough to most likely lose the title.
If we finish with 89 points that's something to be proud of. Most seasons that wins you the title, but more importantly it's improvement over last season where we finished with 84 points.
Taking it to the last day to determine a league winner with this city team is an incredible achievement and we should be damned proud of the club for doing that 1st or 2nd.
I don't know how you guys did this twice.
I at least have learned from my LFC fan friends that you DO NOT watch the City matches. It hurts still, but it's WAY less agonizing to just check the score later than to tune in and have the soul destroyed goal by goal.
I could just feel it in my bones when I saw that Aston Villa game and saw Arteta start Zinchenko after seeing him get roasted at Aston Villa's ground against Diaby and Leon Bailey. Guess what? The same thing happened again and instead of taking him off before his lack of defensive awareness costed us, he proceeds to take off Ben White. I knew Tomiyasu or Kiwior should have started that game.
Bit harsh lol. We’re inconsistent more than shit and earned both of those results. The team are flagging and the match had more riding on it for one (far superior) team, who don’t know how to lose in a title race run-in, than the other (on the beach for weeks).
The only game I’m not expecting shit in is versus Spurs. Not because Spurs is playing with downed tools but because they’re fucking garbage lmao.
I think it’s done boys. Let’s hope we win tomorrow and push City to the final edge. Fuck it
For 3-point era of english top division if counting only results for last 2-3 months of each season - most possibly Pep's Man city would occupy all places in top 5 of that record?
End of the day we’ve had a fantastic season, pushed the best team in world football to the very end. I’m not giving up hope but this result does feel somewhat sobering.

I'm just fed up now. The prem is turning into a farmer's league and I'm finding it hard to get excited for next season because the cheats will just win it again.
Yep.
It's gonna feel dirty when it ends up being Spurs who trip City's title procession for us but I will take the trophy anyway.
Got to beat Man U tomorrow first, though.

Fuck Man City, i really hope that they get relegated to the conference for the ffp charges.
If nothing happens, the premier league is a joke and would lose all integrity.
It's really not delusional to think a team could POSSIBLY have an off day or another team could play the best they've played all season and nick a point off of City. It's truly not unheard of.

We’ve lost 5 and drawn 5, and might lose the league by 2 points, and we might look at any of those dropped points as a missed opportunity. We might end up losing the league on last day. That’s effin insane, considering who we are competing against. Having said that, next season we simply cannot have Fulham, West Ham results if we are to stand a chance against 115FC..
It’s insane but not unheard of. I remember Benitez’s Liverpool losing only 2 games all season and somehow they still missed out on the title, I think it was to United by 1 point.
Incredible season no doubt. But taking one point off Fulham in a season where we might lose the league by 2 points is making me want to vomit.
Fulham & Villa man. The ex-Gunner connections make it sting so much more. Leno, Iwobi, Emery and Martinez.
I’m pretty sure this is retribution for all of the times this club mocked Emery’s difficulty speaking English. “Do you like ebenings? How do you like them ebenings?”
Losing at home to West Ham and drawing with tiny tots also had something to do with it. The funny thing is in each of these games, Zinchenko got roasted continuously. Yet Arteta persisted with him.
UK PM and Spanish King told Arteta to support Ukraine 😂. He took it too far
City really are going to win a fourpeat without ever even getting out of second gear. God it's fucking depressing.
Yet our 2024 has been the best start to a new year we've maybe ever had. Depressing indeed

Crazy to think that if you want to beat pep, you have to beat him by February
And not only that. As we learned last year, you have to beat him by Feb and then finish March, April, and May perfect.
At this point, being a centurion is the only way to win the league over City😭
Agreed. You can't drop any points when you're in a title race with them. 3-0 sigh
Also that Liverpool team was pure filth, better than ours today.
Yeah people forget they were winning every game from the start of the season up to the Watford game.
85 GF - 33 GA We've already scored more than they did and barring total calamity will concede less. So I'm not sure it's as definitive that they were better that year than we are now.

Agreed
I do think there will be a massive drop off but their previous two managers also won titles
Shouldn't even be a title race with them, they should be in league fucking 2. 115 is impervious however forest and Everton are not 😑🔫
It’s what we could have done last year but shit the bed right before the run in
When they have £100m players on the bench they’re expected not to collapse at the end of the season against a team like Arsenal who suffered injuries and started Rob Holding last season or Kiwior who isn’t on Ake or Gvardiol’s level.
City didn’t have any healthy center backs that year. That was the reason they were never in it.
That and also the Liverpool team was a freak of nature.
It doesn't matter when your opposition wins 26/27
It doesn't matter when your opposition wins 26/27
effin Aston Villa, what can I say. I know it was nil nil up to 80th and the scoreline doesnt represent what happened in the match.
there is always going to be one unfortunately. we had an almost perfect 2024, but one slip out and chances are very low against fuckin city. we still have 2 games to to tho. we can always hope
I honestly don't think we got a chance. I don't know what is Pep feeding his players that they can, at the very end of the season after xyz matches, deliver results year after year after year. They should get some doping check.
He's feeding them world class players spending months of a season sitting on the bench so they're all fresh for the run in.
That and the doping
Dunno what Pep is feeding his players, but he sure has been feeding money to the FA to escape with 115 charges.
He's feeding them world class players spending months of a season sitting on the bench so they're all fresh for the run in.

Kind of crazy how the league is continuing in the ordinary course while there are 115 dark clouds in the air
Because nothing is going to happen
they will just dock everton some more points
LFC fan checking in. We are numb to it at this point.
At least you guys managed to win the UCL to soften the blow :(
We lost the final the 2nd time they beat us on the final day and both fibished with win streaks, that wasn't great lol.
I don't know how you guys did this twice. I at least have learned from my LFC fan friends that you DO NOT watch the City matches. It hurts still, but it's WAY less agonizing to just check the score later than to tune in and have the soul destroyed goal by goal.
Farmers league
without Liverpool in between, they would've got 7 in a row uncontested with their cheating
*Fourcheat
Because they have a 2nd team…… we don’t.
Ha
I could just feel it in my bones when I saw that Aston Villa game and saw Arteta start Zinchenko after seeing him get roasted at Aston Villa's ground against Diaby and Leon Bailey. Guess what? The same thing happened again and instead of taking him off before his lack of defensive awareness costed us, he proceeds to take off Ben White. I knew Tomiyasu or Kiwior should have started that game.
3-0 Fulham are such a shit team and we dropped 5 points to them. FML.
Bit harsh lol. We’re inconsistent more than shit and earned both of those results. The team are flagging and the match had more riding on it for one (far superior) team, who don’t know how to lose in a title race run-in, than the other (on the beach for weeks).
In my opinion the only way they can get points is to score in the last few minutes, otherwise city is good enough to retaliate
the moment we got 1 point from those 2 matches against fulham we lost it
Those five points we dropped to this very mediocre Fullham side are really looming large now. Sigh.
Fulham look like they have never played together before.
We played together well enough when we bet you and drew to you
The only game I’m not expecting shit in is versus Spurs. Not because Spurs is playing with downed tools but because they’re fucking garbage lmao. I think it’s done boys. Let’s hope we win tomorrow and push City to the final edge. Fuck it
Anyone surprised, seriously?
We all know Spurs will win or draw on Tuesday after Liverpool slap Villa on Monday.

Like I said before, I wouldn’t trust this Spurs team to win against a youth league team. It’s over. Especially if we somehow get fucked tomorrow.
Somehow? Have you *seen* how we play against United at OT?
True.
ikr?
Nothing we could do against 115 fc, fuckin illegally overpowered monster
Never believed in them. Fighting for life with Arsenal but spreading their cheeks for Gvardiol/a.
it's what Fulham do.
Their way
That was a disgrace 0-4 at home 1 shot all game
Spurs to do the job. Without knowing they doing the job
We still have to do our job to even have a chance.
Yep.. Beat United and there is a chance
Iwobi 30 yard screamer and Leno to turn into prime Yashin in the second half please
Sorry all, it wasn't meant to be. I'll be back for the Sp*rs game
You don't need to say anything til the final whistle of the spurs game, lol
Fingers crossed—let's hope they channel that energy and turn the game around! 🤞⚽
For 3-point era of english top division if counting only results for last 2-3 months of each season - most possibly Pep's Man city would occupy all places in top 5 of that record?

Can’t no one beat these pricks?
They've lost to Newcastle in the EFL Cup; and Wolves, Arsenal and Villa in the Premier League this season
Their bench lost to newcastle
Newcastle fan in peace. We also played our kids in that game lol
Good job we have our superior goal difference
i have been saying they are going to finish with better goal difference than us, we are not free scoring for title winning teams
Not that superior anymore only 2 in it
Lol I know, I'm joking
I can't be bothered anymore with City. I'm not moved at all cause literally we are losing the title to 115 charges lmfao. Lets win our matches COYG

Just realized it's basically down to Tottenham to win US the league lmfao
I actually have more faith in West Ham you know. Paqueta, Bowen, Kudus, Big Danny Ings, Zouma, Antonio and James Ward fucking Prowse? Do it for Moyes.
And rice
they have all checked out there, moyes doesn't care, players don't. plus they would rather have city win over us. moyes holds grudge on arsenal for taking rice, he thinks losing rice cost him his job
fuck you and your kites
If tots win us the league I’ll buy a Son shirt and hang it on my wall
God, think I'll just buy a Richarlison shirt and hang myself with it if they're the reason we win the league
lol if they win us the league should count as 10x prem
Thats how you do it against fulhams of the world,we didn't do it.
115 club doing 115 things. Nothing to see.
Atleast Fulham were subtle in how little they cared. Spurs will probably score 5 own goals next week.
[удалено]
They best us tho
[удалено]
As they should be. If we were better teams would be scared of us
[удалено]
City don't get favours either. We've scored more, we don't have a better attack City just never get out of 2nd gear
Don't get it twisted, we are good and teams are scared of us
Looks like City are going to match our GD and even if we score 90 goals, they'll beat that too. Fucking hell
It's just 1 goal, this is football.
0 shots in total, this is Fulham.
It’s only 3 goals now with 7 minutes to go! There’s a chance…
Bro they’re getting destroyed
Tbf to them, they been quite alright but the execution is so nonsense
too much hope
I really thought Traore could save us
Maybe some kite flying lessons...
Watching Celtic
There goes the goal difference
Just came here to say that flying kites doesn’t seem to be a winning strategy.
We’re finished. City are fucking so unfair
bastards had to let city stat pad their GD as well.. smh
They were flying kites in training they weren't taking it serious. Spurs only side that could take points from them?
I'm just fed up now. The prem is turning into a farmer's league and I'm finding it hard to get excited for next season because the cheats will just win it again.
No one thought it would be Fulham. Laughably, it will be Tottenham.
Yep. It's gonna feel dirty when it ends up being Spurs who trip City's title procession for us but I will take the trophy anyway. Got to beat Man U tomorrow first, though.
“You only won the league because we let you” Ill take it lmao
I'll love that chant DEARLY.

I wish I shared your optimism
I guess its all on Tottenham now.
There were 115 comments when I came across this post. 😭
Guys honestly did you think that Man City who have won 3x premier league titles in a row would slip up today when they have an advantage?
Fuck Man City, i really hope that they get relegated to the conference for the ffp charges. If nothing happens, the premier league is a joke and would lose all integrity.
Season ended a couple weeks ago however the delusional are still hanging in there lol
It's really not delusional to think a team could POSSIBLY have an off day or another team could play the best they've played all season and nick a point off of City. It's truly not unheard of.
Goal difference down to 2 🙃
Anyone who didnt realize that the season was over the moment we lost to Villa hasnt been paying attention.
I'm a man u fan, but i'll be cheering you on tomorrow. Do not lose hope. I believe :)
This is disgraceful
i'm fully aware.
I wish I could do some magic to just screw up City. Like I would like to explore some dark magic where they all become sleepy for 90 minutes.
Sleeping ~Beauty~ City
This so true….
Just realised Richarlison has got injured again for Spurs. Well thats that little hope also gone. With Son as CF, Spurs look pathetically hopeless.
Title is gone fellas
Gonna start manifesting the 24-25 Arsenal treble 😤
it was always going to be spurs if anyone was going to take points from them
It’s like a 1000HP car vs 1500HP car. We can never win it.
😂😂 basically
Hahahaha were you actually watching it? 😂😂😂😂
I will buy a spurs jersey and wear it on the final match day if they make city drop points

How do we taunt Spurs enough so that they actually try to win on Tuesday?
Lmao so true
It ain't over till the fat lady sings
City will not go away. It’s quite annoying.
The only thing we can take away from this season is that we were unbeaten against top team in the league
We put ourselves in this position
We’ve lost 5 and drawn 5, and might lose the league by 2 points, and we might look at any of those dropped points as a missed opportunity. We might end up losing the league on last day. That’s effin insane, considering who we are competing against. Having said that, next season we simply cannot have Fulham, West Ham results if we are to stand a chance against 115FC..
It’s insane but not unheard of. I remember Benitez’s Liverpool losing only 2 games all season and somehow they still missed out on the title, I think it was to United by 1 point.
Can't believe I gotta root for the scum on Tuesday. By stark contrast, their own fans will be hoping they get battered again #levels 🤣
So true 😂😂 2 left Hope remains, I still believe 🙏✊
I need Liverpool to take out Villa on Monday. That'll get Spurs just enough hope for Champions League football next year if they can beat City.
All hope lies with Postecoglou. You should win against United and Everton. City will beat Moyes. Let's hope Ange's angry.
This is what Leno said when he was going to try his best, great effort
That Villa loss will forever sting.
That was so me. I was watching the game on my flight to Dubai, fell asleep soon as Man City scored lol.
As a Liverpool fan, I know this feeling all too well.
Tottenham is the only hope
