If Liverpool win their three remaining games then ManU have to win two out of their three games and Newcastle have to win one and draw two at least to keep Liverpool out of the top 4 .

Both have Chelsea, which is a guaranteed 3 points. I think Liverpool have left it too late in the day now.

Also they may play better against the top teams - some do just that ??

Lots of chat about bottling it all over the place. This team has not and did not bottle it.

The argument is you were top for so long etc. Yes, this is true but Man City are a juggernaut they are a machine. They can sign a player of the quality of Kalvin Phillips and stick him on the bench. That is what you are up against.

Pep has 18 to 19 players that are Microsoft-like plug-ins and play. HE can have a player of the year like Riyad Marhez and De Bruyne on the bench.

I am proud of the lads and the season they have had. Arsenal has shown they're first 11 can compete. Let's build from here and get a squad of 16 players minimum who are plug in and play. #COYG

[Mystic Mock]

Yesterday's matches showed that Man City deserve to win the League imo.

Arsenal have done really well to have competed with them for so long, hopefully Arteta can add a bit more depth to his squad next season.

Arsenal have been a joy to watch this season. I do think the pressure got to them though because their performance levels dropped off in April.

However, people have short memories, it's not that long ago that Pep was shouting at his team for being lazy and not turning up for matches as they should :laugh:

I think the rot started when the fabulous Partey got injured and missed the crucial first game against City … he hasn’t been the same since .. neither have Arsenal

Soon after they lost their key defender in Saliba then Zinchenko struggled with a calf injury for the last few weeks ( and it showed ) ..

Similar thing happened to Arsenal when they lost Varane and Martinez.. and Casemiro missing key games

yeah, it killed Man U's season. They just don't have the depth of squad to keep the levels consistent.

This Toney ban is ridiculously imho

Tripper got a far higher fine ( where money / fines are meaningless ) yet Toney gets a small fine and a huge ban which basically punishes Brentford who will be without their main player until Jan 16th 2024 !!



With cases like this there should be something like a 6 week ban plus 90% of the players wages!!

They could stop all illegal betting overnight if the players were only getting 10% of their salary for the period banned

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has received a two-match ban for comments he made about referee Paul Tierney after his side's 4-3 victory over Tottenham in April.

It means the German will miss Sunday's match against Aston Villa at Anfield.

The second game is suspended until the end of the 2023-24 season, providing Klopp does not commit any further breaches in that time.

Klopp suggested Tierney has "something against" the Reds after the Spurs game.

He has also received a £75,000 fine having admitted he regretted making the comments.

Newcastle are just spoilers who launch in endless free kicks to the hoard of huge brutes in the box and waste endless amounts of time

They have two players who have completely lost their minds and had to be restrained by their own players.

They should drug test the two in question.. Joelinton and Guimarães

Big weekend for Liverpool ( and ManU )

Rashford is a major doubt to play Bournemouth according to TalkSport after picking up an illness !?

Liverpool are at home to Villa tomorrow ( Villa should be hopefully on the beach )

Then Liverpool play doomed Southampton next weekend whereas ManU have to play Chelsea and Fulham .

True up to a point but that can make them dangerous as they can play relaxed football .. whereas ManU basically HAVE to win the games .. the United players may not throw themselves into 50/50 challenges with the FA CUP final with City looming ..

With regards to Chelsea each player is basically playing for their Chelsea career so presumably they may be a serious threat

There is no way that the new manager won’t be watching and scrutinising every minuscule thing the players do over the coming games .. his own future depends on him making the right decisions. You really think he won’t mind if the players just coast through the games ?

Man City losing 3 league games in a row, with their current form, is the equivalent of the Democratic Republic of Congo winning the World Cup.

Liverpool have been awful so far, losing 1-0, and Watkins missed a pen

It’s been a crazy , crazy season though and City have a lot on their plates .. the other night saw Gundugan and Rodri falling out mid game and also KDB and Pep screaming at each other !!

Given the upsets we’ve seen just lately - is it really that crazy to see the uber talented Chelsea guys putting on a performance against City ??

Then they have two AWAY games to Brighton and Brentford .. both teams going for European places ..

If Arsenal win their two easily winnable games then City will still need two Draws to clinch the title .. so two wins by Arsenal and City get two defeats out of either Chelsea or Brighton AWAY or Brentford AWAY ..

Arsenal win the league :)

united have had the most clean sheets this season and their home record is brilliant, and they now have 2 games at home

[Swan]

I think it's safe to say Newcastle need not worry now. Their next being easily winnable, not that they even need a win, a draw will do. And their goal difference is much better than Utd's, and 7 better than Liverpool's. They really are a shoe.
