Absolute 100% talking sense, I applaud you sir. I wish that I could like that post more than once.

I wouldn’t mind Emery throwing away the FA cup if we had 54 points from 21 league games tbh.

Hass · 8 January 2019 08:11

Isn’t it pretty standard to send out the second string at this stage of the cup anyway? I didn’t feel like they threw it they just lost a hard game to a pretty strong side. Pretty clear case that they were better off resting most of their first team.

Typical self defeatist pussy arsenal supporter comment if I’ve ever seen one.

I’m betting @Gladiator might have reigned it in a little if he’d known it was going to lead to his balls getting so heavily licked.

This would be sound logic if they were to field 9 changes in their two leg R16 CL games and focus entirely on the league, but you know they won’t.

Also if what it takes to win the league now is to not be in any cups, then that really hurts the value of a league win for me. If Liverpool get knocked out of everything and win the league by 1 point, and City win the CL and FA Cup, what achievement is Liverpool winning the league by 1 point if we’re meant to believe that it’s down to the fact they played 10 less games than City did?

To me a league win should be the biggest sign that you’re the best team in the country, and in that situation I’m not sure it does that.

Yeah that’s it, if they got a draw like Blackpool away the side they sent out would have comfortably progressed.

Aussiegooner · 8 January 2019 08:21

Win the league after getting the most points over 9 months, 38 games, playing all teams home and away is a monumental achievement irrespective of how many people try to down play it.

Gladiator · 8 January 2019 08:24

No man, I enjoy my balls getting licked

BigWeng_4LYFE · 8 January 2019 08:33

Kinda but it’s nowhere near beating ur rivals head to head. It’s why we have playoffs here in our sports, real men sports. Imagine if lolpool win the league but City beat them twice. Okay yayy u beat all the other shitty teams congrats, but there’s a team that stomped you out. In a playoff lolpool would choke.

Aussiegooner · 8 January 2019 08:34

If City beat them twice I’ll say fair play condsidering it’s 1 win and a draw so far.

BigWeng_4LYFE · 8 January 2019 08:34

Tsk tsk lolpool couldn’t even beat them, not really a deserving champion tbf.

Aussiegooner · 8 January 2019 08:38

In our invincible’s season we couldn’t beat United or Portsmouth, so I suppose we weren’t a deserving champion.

SRCJJ · 8 January 2019 08:47

And we beat Leicester in both games the season they won the title so I guess we’re the real champions.

BigWeng_4LYFE · 8 January 2019 08:48

But did we lose to them? Nope cuz we were UNBEATEN!!

BigWeng_4LYFE · 8 January 2019 08:50

Honestly they should just give us the trophy. Who gives a shit that we lost to Swansea, they aren’t even in the PL. Such a shame there were no playoffs cuz under Arsene we’d have won it several times just like we did with the FA Cup.

Aussiegooner · 8 January 2019 08:51

Played United 3 times for the season, 2 draws and 1 loss in the FA cup Semi… 3 attempts still couldn’t beat em, United the real champions.

BigWeng_4LYFE · 8 January 2019 08:53

Woulda beat em in the playoffs tho 🖒

SRCJJ · 8 January 2019 08:54

I was at that Swansea game. I’ll never forget how angry I felt afterwards with the manner in which we lost.

shamrockgooner · 8 January 2019 08:55

You’re an even bigger bellend than Brady was.
