It’s easy to not like them or at least their manager. They have spent a ton to make a team that plays negative football. Time wasting, cynical fouls, circus trick set plays etc. I think Arteta is more a Maureen than a Guardiola, who at least shows grace when he’s beaten.
I was pretty sure Arsenal would unravel as they were celebrating every match like they won a World Cup and that was even at the start of the season, you cannot keep that energy up all season and need to time your peak as City showed every year. Arteta’s gimmicky style of management from pick pocketing his players at a dinner to teach them to be vigilant to taking a lightbulb out of his @ss to teach his players about connectivity but really it’s the entitlement. They truly thought the title was theirs and it was a given. They played the part without playing the football required.
Arteta wants to be a maverick but he ends up more a bellend.
Not a repeat of Chelsea, please. We need to take absolutely no prisoners in this one. I loath and test them almost as much as united and city. I gave away my ticket to my grandson for this one so I certainly deserve some payback thank you

Salah looks to be looking for an assist rather than goal, he had a couple of good chances to score but he passed. Never saw him pass up a shot as many times as he did today.
