6 games ago they were 8 points clear
Then went and dropped 9 points in those 6 games
They will still end up with 84 points but because of City you now need over 90 points to win the league
5 out of the last 6 won by City -it’s getting like Germany.
Let’s hope the Prem charges are upheld

The one shining light is that it’s gone to an independent body , there is no time barred to help them put this time. Everyone knows they have consistently broken FFP rules ( think it’s 100 of them over 9 years ) so every single trophy is tainted.
If they don’t do anything about it or they are allowed to get away with it again then the game is gone

Might of gone up a few quid after this result.
joking aside am sure someone is going to analyse the downfall of Arsenal this season. They were outstanding for 3/4 of the season. Any ideas where it went wrong. I honestly thought when Arsenal signed Jorghino and Trossard in January and the return of Jesus I thought the title was done and dusted.
As a City fan am starting to believe it could be our year.
Where it went wrong is they don’t have the strength and quality of squad that City have.
Can’t understand your negativity of City this season you’ve won league 5 out of 6 times recently.
Over that time City’s oil money has brought them the titles and trophies
No club can compete and buy trophies like that, well Chelsea are trying but they are a mess at the moment.

I fully agree with you Phil but I really can't see them being brought to book over all the misdemeanors and wrong doing, I can't see titles and trophies being taken away as that would cause so much trouble with sides being relegated after being beaten by city and what can they do other than give them a hefty fine which I'm sure they can afford. Probably will get a transfer embargo and if we are lucky two divisions of relegation .
But as I've already said
I think we are straw clutching.
I'm hoping I'm wrong, I have no personal feelings against city but wrong is wrong and hopefully they will be castigated for all their wrongs and heavily sentenced for it.
Just think on Red Bull and Max Verstappen’s championship win. Multimillion pound overspend on the car, and absolutely got away with it. The ruling bodies haven’t got the financial clout to get into a fight with big money. It’ll be a slap on the wrist.
Hope I’m wrong but…

Nah not really , not where the money has come from and the financial cheating that’s gone on. Dont expect to ever be jealous of a state owned club that ignore the financial rules regardless of how many trophies they win - every one is tainted

I think this is why the Premier League have gone to the Independent panel - there is no CAS appeals , there is no time barred to bail them out. They will just recommend what happens.
Certainly don’t want to see other teams be given the titles etc but I’m certainly expecting a very strong punishment - it’s been a long investigation , 100 counts of FFP breaks - they can’t be seen to let them get away with it - it will bring into question the integrity of the league.
Serie A have shown how to deal with Teams that financially break the rules , time for the Prem to follow

Man City Premier League charges explained: What are they? What could punishment be? What's the timescale?
Manchester City charged by Premier League with numerous alleged breaches of financial rules; Premier League has referred the case to an independent commission; Man City are the reigning champions but find themselves second in the table, five points behind Arsenal

That’s what I can’t understand why you think Arsenal are the best team by a country mile when City have a far better squad and better quality, also City have only lost 4 times this season.
For all your doubts about City this season the majority of fans/ pundits would think City are the best team in England I would imagine

From my perspective being 60 yr old, up until the sheiks turned up and even in the early years there was always a feeling around the club of “ typical City” . Basically doing what Arsenal have done this season. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. As a fan I have never had a feeling of entitlement to expecting trophies and when we have played to a lesser standard I have said so.. How City have turned it around this season more than any other is beyond me. That said even though we are on for the treble. We have still won nowt.
