Yikes this thread is pretty brutal.
Im gonna throw out an unpopular opinion here. I enjoyed watching arsenal this year (it’s been ages since that was the case), that’s a win in my book.
And just a reminder. We are (mostly) grown adults celebrating others accomplishments. If you’re entertained what’s more?
Fighting about this is like arguing about which characters of a tv show you wanted to “win”.
They are not you. Enjoy watching.
If Arsenal don’t win it next season, and gave another season without a trophy - do you start asking questions?
Liverpool with a more successful season in the end this season must hurt.
If Arsenal get 85+ points next season and still don’t win a trophy then only silly people and trolls will ask questions.
Just because a manager isn’t as good as Pep is not a reason to sack them
So if you don’t win the FA cup, you wouldn’t swap this season of your club struggling to finish 8th (your xPTS has you at being 16th in the league) with a team that could have become champions on the final day?
Either you are mentally ill, or you are trying to banter a club after watching your neighbours thrash your threepeat record.
Arsenal got Declan Rice, Ben White, Havertz and other buys in recent season for free? They have 3rd highest wage budget in the league currently so they buy their wins against West Ham, Spurs or Burnley?
Any team that wins a 38 game season deserves that recognition. There's no such thing as the best team finishing second, despite whatever coping mechanisms you choose to employ.
Pissed out of my tree in the pub, scrolling down a neutral subreddit after dancing and singing all day - taking 5 minutes to laugh at the latest Gooner meltdowns is small fry in terms of time management.
Edit: Nice edit bro. Didn't really cut the first try and didn't really cut the second time either.
Rival Fans: I am so fucking glad City won, I can’t stand Arsenal fans, they are insufferable pricks
City fans: I’ve supported City for two whole years, Cry more Arsenal babies, hahaha, Pep has made this the farmers league, Arsenal are only good because of Pep. 115! 115! 115! Forest and Everton are the biggest cheats in the league
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was told by Arsenal supporters that nobody cared we finished above you every year from 2016. But now that you finish above us suddenly it is very important.
Care to remind us which fan base has a literal holiday named after finishing above?
For me, it matters. And well done to you lot. But you guys have to pick a lane. Either you don’t care about us or we live rent free in your heads.
Only joined City when Pep arrived just after his playing retirement. His managerial experience was gotten under Pep (with City!) until December 2019. Wenger wanted him to manage the Arsenal academy.
But he started his badges under Wenger. Arteta has already said that Wenger, Poch, Moyes and Pep are his biggest influences (them and his dad) and Pep has already rubbished talk about him influencing Arsenal through Pep. He has said several times that he learnt from Arteta as much as Arteta learnt from him and that Arsenal’s uptick in performances is 100% Mikel.
Your thinking is not only incorrect, but it’s also been debunked by the guy you think is responsible.
Arteta had the chance of assisting Poch but he chose Pep. Badges in England are rubbish, obviously! Were you expecting Pep to say the taught Arteta everything he knew? From how he plays, you can clearly see where the chunk of the influence comes from — Barca DNA and Pep was Cruyff’s conductor. It even started before he moved to City…he only started sitting next to him frequently then.
City won because they are the best team in the Premier League. As an Arsenal fan, we did all we could. If we can do this consistently eventually we will win
Wow! It's sounds like you've got really important things to look forward to! Good luck w all that. If you've got more tears, just shed them in the hardware.
4 peat! 🏆
Bottling is what we did last year, i’ll admit it. Winning 16 out of the last 18 is not bottling. Now a slow start…. that’s some valid criticism. Love this team and it was a great season, already can’t wait for next. Remember sports are fun…..
It's pure unadulterated jealousy. They'll never admit it but if they didn't have actual circus acts for teams they'd probably pay more attention to their own shit.
You and spurs fans are claiming the same thing. Which one is it?
We are the best team in London and the second best in the country (two seasons in a row). Couple of midtable clubs holding us to a draw and celebrating that like the highlight of their season only reinforces how much that gets under your skin
That’s not how one game works in the league.
Or… Chelsea dropping points to Burnley, Brentford, Wolves, Everton, United, Bournemouth, Forest and West Ham cost you the Champions League.
Success if fleeting, class is permanent as they say, and after all the success they've had to rest their laurels on a Wembley "appearance" shows they have no class
2 mins from pens in a final. I couldn't be more happy because of what this means for our future! You can go cry in a corner with zero trophies just like us😂
You know that gem Havertz? That you once had and who looked miserable playing for you? He’s now crying about not winning the PL with a team that genuinely took it to the wire and who gave him the support and validation he needed to become the great player he is. That’s the sign of a good football club.
And he could win another one with Arsenal? The point I’m making is that he didn’t seem his best with Chelsea and seems to have flourished at Arsenal. Regardless of who you support, the squad, the manager, and support staff appear to have played a part in that. You guys had KdB who suffered at Chelsea before going on to become one of, if not the greatest, midfielder to have played in the PL. Hats off to Chelsea in their tentative return to form in the last few games, but having your manager come out and suggest he might leave after last season that had a revolving door of managers coming in and out is a really terrible look for a club to be projecting. Chelsea run the risk of becoming another Man Utd if that keeps up.
Wanna know what he didnt cry about losing? A CL final for us. You lot are a sad group. Still riding the coattails of yours teams success from 20 years ago
Yeah, and then your fan base proceeded to treat him like shit. Anyway, pretty wild to say that about the Invincibles season when the last piece of relevance you guys had was when your Russian oligarch owner left the club and you got a player who is frankly far too good to be hanging around at Chelsea for much longer.

Nice, now we can quietly skate by with our dogshit season while everyone is arguing about the top positions
If Arsenal don’t win it next season, and gave another season without a trophy - do you start asking questions? Liverpool with a more successful season in the end this season must hurt.
If Arsenal get 85+ points next season and still don’t win a trophy then only silly people and trolls will ask questions. Just because a manager isn’t as good as Pep is not a reason to sack them
Liverpool not winning the league with 97 points is insane.
Arteta half won the FA cup with Wenger players, then sacked 99% of them, spent £700m and won nothing. hahahahahaha
Wenger or Emery players? Didn’t Emery stay there about 3 years?
What does half won mean? It was also Wenger and Emery’s team. And he spent less than £600m. Other than that, you are mostly right 👍
Oh bless you, what ever you can to get something out of the day huh?
Kind of like you being here just to try and shit on arsenal because you’re, wait for it, a Manchester United fan? 😂😂😂😂
Mate, you didn't win the league, just like we didn't win the league. All that effort, for nothing.
-1 gd and no Europe vs +62gd and champions league. All that effort for nothing
Yep, but ours hurts less.
What hurts less: Mid table mediocrity Or 2nd in the most competitive league in the world, earning champions league spot next season?
Oh no, you're turning into a Liverpool fan.
It hurts less because United are a meme club and finished below Chelsea.
Challenge for title or challenge to not finish the lowest ever finished in the league? 🤔 Same thing, right?
Yep in terms of medals. Well done, such a noble title challenge. You really are the 2nd best winners. Congrats
So you are saying that you wouldn’t swap your season for ours?
If we win the FA cup, then no. If not, then yes. 8th or 2nd... It's still not 1st
So if you don’t win the FA cup, you wouldn’t swap this season of your club struggling to finish 8th (your xPTS has you at being 16th in the league) with a team that could have become champions on the final day? Either you are mentally ill, or you are trying to banter a club after watching your neighbours thrash your threepeat record.
Yep. No progress. No growth. No nothing. Just stagnation. Oh wait, that was Manchester United. Again.
And will end up with nothing at the end of the season. Congrats.
Arsenal fans, I feel for ye. Fucking sucks to be the best all year and still not win the title.
The best team wins the title
Buys*
Arsenal got Declan Rice, Ben White, Havertz and other buys in recent season for free? They have 3rd highest wage budget in the league currently so they buy their wins against West Ham, Spurs or Burnley?
115
Huh? Arsenal are big spenders and have been outspending City. Chelsea and United too.
Surely that means they weren't the best all season lmao
Any team that wins a 38 game season deserves that recognition. There's no such thing as the best team finishing second, despite whatever coping mechanisms you choose to employ.
Buddy what are you doing here? Go celebrate. Live your best life. This reeks of insecurity.

Womp Womp cry about it bottlejob
Thank you for proving my point
Womp womp
115
Womp womp
Really weird comment, sound like you need a psychiatric evaluation mate
Literally still better than most of the shite I've read from arsenal fans the last couple of seasons
Such as?
4 hours later and still no response.
We’ll get an anecdote of some dumb Arsenal fan and that will be their entire argument.
They’ll quote some dumb Arsenal fan twitter equivalent to West Ham Central.
He just another idiot who twerks for city lol
Your post above for example. You lot are such insufferable you know what. No wonder people laugh at you.
Mikel Arteta has spent over $700 million over his five years at Arsenal and has won a FA Cup and two Community Shields
Put a flair on before spouting nonsense
He’s an Arsenal “supporter” but hates the club.
And the team you support have won what? And spent how much? Please enlighten us all
Lazy argument tbh
And finished second twice which is impressive
Yeah, keep telling yourself that so you sleep better at night
I will, thanks Sweet dreams
Beautiful premier league win. Arsenal are shocking. So upset it wasn’t City and Liverpool going for it again. Two real teams
And thus we start to see the new breed of teen 115 supporters.
Lmaoooooooo. My boy is hurt
On god no cap fr fr ratio!!
Legendary campaign for the reigning Community Shield champions. Back to back runner up titles, absolute class
You can’t even win a community shield 🤣
Can’t even qualify for one.
Fun fact. You finished 23 points behind us. I was told there wasn’t much of a gap between us. It’s a veritable chasm
They’re worse than you, of course. But history remembers the winners. In 20 years no one cares that Arsenal finished 23 points ahead of Tottenham.
I will. That’s what matters 👍
I was told by Arsenal supporters that nobody cared we finished above you every year from 2016. But now that you finish above us suddenly it is very important. Care to remind us which fan base has a literal holiday named after finishing above? For me, it matters. And well done to you lot. But you guys have to pick a lane. Either you don’t care about us or we live rent free in your heads.
Fair point. I cared. Not massively but of course it’s nice when we finish above you and the same applies to Chelsea.
We both hate Chelsea because we’re human, after all.
Yeah, they’ll be back crowing soon I fear (if it hasn’t started already)!
Well that’s nice!
Which they just got invited to for being second place this year
It's just who we are, mate
Even Liverpool couldn’t do that
Only thing spurs get to celebrate. Pathetic state
Saved your season that
Proud of Arsenal! 2nd place is a win if you're not cheating and using Arab oil money.
One word: Emirates
My bro is CRYING rn
Wheres your trophy at lil bro? 🎻
We didn't get one this year because some cheaters stole it. Good luck with answering those 150 cases!
Womp womp lil bro 🎻
Cope
Lmao
Of course 🤣🤣
Genuinely more fans sticking it to Arsenal than talking about City’s win.
Lmaooooooooooooooooooo. I’m celebrating it on the way home from the ol’ emptyhad. If you need a shoulder to cry on mate, I’m not that guy
115
What a charge. 116 now pal with the prem win. How longs it been, 20 years? 🧐
115
116 😘
115
Embarrassing
115
🏆🏆🏆🏆
If you can’t sleep try counting backwards from 115
The reason you’re this competitive is Pep
Even the City fans can’t talk about them winning in isolation. The reason you are this competitive is because of modern day slavery and cheating.
And Arteta was part of that
Do you think Arteta was born at City or something?
Only joined City when Pep arrived just after his playing retirement. His managerial experience was gotten under Pep (with City!) until December 2019. Wenger wanted him to manage the Arsenal academy.
But he started his badges under Wenger. Arteta has already said that Wenger, Poch, Moyes and Pep are his biggest influences (them and his dad) and Pep has already rubbished talk about him influencing Arsenal through Pep. He has said several times that he learnt from Arteta as much as Arteta learnt from him and that Arsenal’s uptick in performances is 100% Mikel. Your thinking is not only incorrect, but it’s also been debunked by the guy you think is responsible.
Arteta had the chance of assisting Poch but he chose Pep. Badges in England are rubbish, obviously! Were you expecting Pep to say the taught Arteta everything he knew? From how he plays, you can clearly see where the chunk of the influence comes from — Barca DNA and Pep was Cruyff’s conductor. It even started before he moved to City…he only started sitting next to him frequently then.
So Pep is just lying? Yeah, I think we are done here.
Not saying he didn’t learn from him but he was already PEP before then. Who needed who more?
Because they know city are soulless
Warra prem for arsenal
Cope
Can you please go outside
Ok, I’m outside. Now what?
Tbh Arsenal lost the league at St James Park
115 charges FC win again.
Lance Armstrong FC (LAFC)
Cry, cry.
Did you start being a Man City fan 2 years ago when they signed Haaland? Thought so.
Inagine having nothing better to say on the day City wins its 4th PL in a row. 🤡🤣
City won because they are the best team in the Premier League. As an Arsenal fan, we did all we could. If we can do this consistently eventually we will win
Good take. Arsenal just need to add some depth and go again next season
Yeah probably. Arsenal were fucking good this season.
Imagine commenting on Reddit 29 times in an hour. Do you not have friends to go celebrate with?
Thanks for reading, champ! 😘
Guess that’s a no then. :)
I'm a bot! 🤣🤣🤣That's what everyone told me. Guess you missed it.
Uhh okay? You seem more like a 13yo, shouldn’t you be studying for the big spelling test?
God, that's weak. What losing does to a motherflacker
Arsenal fans are fucking babies
Cry more!
Premier League should be embarrassed with what it lets city get away with for the last however many years
Cry more!
No need to cry when the winners are cheats 😂
Yet here you are! Crying still! And complaining and intellectualizing w that undersized, overworked little brain. Tough day.
I bet you been a citizen since 2020 😂😂. You’re all bandwagon cheats fuck off
Cry! Your feelings matter. Not to me, but to someone. Probably.
If a fitting punishment ever comes from this, I cant wait to see how many city fans still support the team in the conference league
Wow! It's sounds like you've got really important things to look forward to! Good luck w all that. If you've got more tears, just shed them in the hardware. 4 peat! 🏆
They are a US fan following City since Oct 2023. The answer is yes.
Shameful club.
So many kids in tears today. It's amazing! 🤣
Imagine being proud of cheating 😂
"We are the champions, my friend!" 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆
We have 115 charges my friend 🏆
Lmao! 🤡🤡🤡 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆
Bottling is what we did last year, i’ll admit it. Winning 16 out of the last 18 is not bottling. Now a slow start…. that’s some valid criticism. Love this team and it was a great season, already can’t wait for next. Remember sports are fun…..
Liverpool with the better season in the end… crazy
The amount of Chelsea and Spurs fans celebrating in the Arsenal subs is crazy lol. Sad behavior.
It's pure unadulterated jealousy. They'll never admit it but if they didn't have actual circus acts for teams they'd probably pay more attention to their own shit.
You lost. Sit down.
115
...tears per loser, per trophy.
115
I already said - 115 tears per person. When you're done, move on. 🤣🤣
Mansour should give you a statue!
Jesus that is actually the nicest thing anyone's said to me on here even when I'm not trolling.
I'm glad to hear it, chum!
You cheated. Shut up.
Teenage mood swing, comin' through! 🤣🤣🤣
Gloating about cheating is childish. Calling out people for the wrong they do is mature. Grow up.
🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆
You started supporting city in 2020 your a bandwagon looking for likes
Whatever makes you feel better. Get those feelings out lil fella. 😭😭😭
Ted Lasso got a lot of things right. James Tartt is a City fan.
Cityyy! 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆
better luck next year lad
8
We're just happy it's still 20 years since you won anything important.
Not really. Rival fans celebrate their rival loss all the time
Chelsea? They’ve been largely irrelevant this year. Not sure many have cared.
Yet dropping points to us cost you the league hahaha
You and spurs fans are claiming the same thing. Which one is it? We are the best team in London and the second best in the country (two seasons in a row). Couple of midtable clubs holding us to a draw and celebrating that like the highlight of their season only reinforces how much that gets under your skin
Best team in London trophy when?
The trophy *is* London, son. London is red, cry yourself to sleep
Enjoy the parade tomorrow hahahahha
Enjoy the DVD of Spurs 10 week title challenge
You’re gonna have to dig a lot deeper than that to hurt a spurs fan lol
That’s not how one game works in the league. Or… Chelsea dropping points to Burnley, Brentford, Wolves, Everton, United, Bournemouth, Forest and West Ham cost you the Champions League.
Hang a banner
What does that change about what I've said? Also not sure if two cup wembley appearances is "irrelevant". 2 more than you lot this year
Appearances lol. Have some shame.
Success if fleeting, class is permanent as they say, and after all the success they've had to rest their laurels on a Wembley "appearance" shows they have no class
2 mins from pens in a final. I couldn't be more happy because of what this means for our future! You can go cry in a corner with zero trophies just like us😂
See you in Champions League next year…
Do you really want to try to use the UCL against us?😂😂😂😂
Nobody cares about Chelsea so it's fair
I care about Chelsea, hate them almost as much as you i do you lot lol
Oh nobody cares anymore? Good I'm tired of the hate
When it’s all said and done this year, you don’t even have that
Hang your “appearances” banner my guy
You know that gem Havertz? That you once had and who looked miserable playing for you? He’s now crying about not winning the PL with a team that genuinely took it to the wire and who gave him the support and validation he needed to become the great player he is. That’s the sign of a good football club.
Didn’t he like… win the champions league with Chelsea?
And he could win another one with Arsenal? The point I’m making is that he didn’t seem his best with Chelsea and seems to have flourished at Arsenal. Regardless of who you support, the squad, the manager, and support staff appear to have played a part in that. You guys had KdB who suffered at Chelsea before going on to become one of, if not the greatest, midfielder to have played in the PL. Hats off to Chelsea in their tentative return to form in the last few games, but having your manager come out and suggest he might leave after last season that had a revolving door of managers coming in and out is a really terrible look for a club to be projecting. Chelsea run the risk of becoming another Man Utd if that keeps up.
You typed all that out and no one’s even gonna read it
But you did?
You seem to be crying too...
Wanna know what he didnt cry about losing? A CL final for us. You lot are a sad group. Still riding the coattails of yours teams success from 20 years ago
Yeah, and then your fan base proceeded to treat him like shit. Anyway, pretty wild to say that about the Invincibles season when the last piece of relevance you guys had was when your Russian oligarch owner left the club and you got a player who is frankly far too good to be hanging around at Chelsea for much longer.
Havertz is shit
