Is that the same West Ham who conceded 6 at home to Arsenal
Exactly my point no?
Whole season is turning into a procession that gets decided from 6 games a year when the top teams play each other.
Ive got a half decent idea. Have your mob ever thought of joining some kind of super league? Reckon that could be a good thing, all the big boys playing each other in a very competitive league. Then the PL will also become competitive with all the shitters left in it that aren't good enough for the super league.

....... That's literally every major league in football. Anyway this is all a terrible take when they won the league by just 2 points, the smallest margin in the top European leagues. Madrid, Leverkusen, PSG, Sporting, Inter all absolutely crushed their leagues and had them essentially wrapped up ages ago
Mikel Arteta's side end the season with 28 wins, Arsenal's most in a 38 game league & only one less than the 1970-71 Double winners.
Their 89 points is second to the Invincibles in club history.
They haven't scored this many league goals (91) since the 50s.
Still come 2nd.
Also would have won last season with their record this season (on goal difference).
They're a very good team, need a striker though.
Wouldn't have been enough though in reality because City won it with 2 games to spare so rested players and only got 1 point from Brighton and Brentford. If they'd needed to get more then the total would've definitely been over 90 points.
The only other time in the last 8 years the winning total was less than 90 points was in 20-21 when City (86 points) again had it wrapped up with games to spare.
The reality is the levels have increased and you need to get 90+ points to have a chance.
Arsenal are definitely well placed, have a great young team, will only get stronger, and you'd have to fancy them to be the team to beat once Pep leaves and this City era of dominance inevitably takes a downturn.
Got to laugh at Arsenal fans though. Last season it was 'we'd have won the league if Saliba hadn't got injured'. This year he didn't miss a single minute of football and they still didn't win it.
And finally it's worth pointing out that City might have actually even won it by more if Rodri hadn't missed 3 games through suspension.
The 3 games he missed (Wolves, Arsenal and Villa all away), they lost all 3 of them, which were the only games they lost all season. Haaland might get the goals, and Foden and De Bruyne get a lot of the plaudits, but for me it's Rodri who is their most important player. The guy is irreplaceable.
City are now unbeaten in 15 months when Rodri has played, a run of 50 games. Ridiculous.
Newcastle vs Spurs soon to kick off in Melbourne. Premier League clubs should never, ever moan again about playing too many games when they do shit like this.

I agree but if anyone can do this it's Spurs. They only played 41 games this season which is less than anyone. In comparison Liverpool played 58.

Ange said as much last week when asked about it. He said if they had a long European campaign this season he would have vetoed the game

Train in fantastic facilities, get the best seat for the best matches, good wage, no pressure.
maybe not.
Wonder if they'll go for De Zerbi?
Which appears to be a £1 billion plan thats worked really well for them so far.........
