Re: Other Matches Thread
2-2 at home to Villa when 2-0 up, 0-0 at home to Everton who were absolutely gash back then. 0-0 at Forest despite battering them but had no striker. All very winnable games - an extra six points, so we'd now be 5 behind and still have Liverpool to play. Chuck in a win at home to that awful West Ham team and you've got 2 points. Yeah big deal eh? I mean 11 points or 5 points or 2 points? Honestly mate, this is laughable.

Re: Other Matches Thread
Back to what Rodders calls the skidmark three
Southampton become the earliest team relegated in PL history. Leicester with 1 win in 15. Ipswich 12 points adrift with 7 games left
Does the PL really need 3 up and 3 down and a total of 20 clubs? Two seasons in a row where the promoted 3 have sunk without trace
But yay, here comes Burnley, Sheffield United and Leeds to waste everyone's time for another year
People complain about the number of injuries and yet we'll have six meaningless matches against these turdbags next season

Re: Other Matches Thread
January was actually a double down of self harm after the summer transfer window and the complete and utter waste of it. A non improvement on elneny in midfield and a sick note who had previous of being ina position that wasn't as needed as a striker. Money pissed up that wall.
Actually let's take a step back to the previous summer and the signing of havertz. Was apparent we needed a proper striker back then. Instead we got a vanity project.
Can blame refs all you want as an excuse the unforgivable thing is we haven't done all we could to win it by neglecting the gun striker we all know we have needed for 3 years. Had we addressed that in the havertz summer we could have potentially 2 title come season end.
Self harm FC. Est 2004/5

Re: Other Matches Thread
100% on the money. Havertz himself wasn't the problem. If he'd been one of several signings in that position, playing second fiddle even to the gun striker as a useful back up we'd be in a much stronger position. Total self harm though - absolutely agree. January unforgiveable as was the Summer - Calafiori, Merino and two of the shittiest loan signings known to manthe playing mantis wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 3:14 pmJanuary was actually a double down of self harm after the summer transfer window and the complete and utter waste of it.

Re: Other Matches Thread
I think you are misquoting me. I consistently say how shit we have been. But despite that if we hadn’t also been nobbled by refs we would be there or there abouts. If we had not dropped points and signed a striker we may be going in to the run in level pegging. Refs have been a massive difference this season despite our own self harm.SteveO 35 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 3:00 pm2-2 at home to Villa when 2-0 up, 0-0 at home to Everton who were absolutely gash back then. 0-0 at Forest despite battering them but had no striker.

Re: Other Matches Thread
The agony is that our next games Brentford (h), Ipswich (a) and Palace (h) (days before their FA semi final), Bournemouth (h), I expect 9-10 points from
Liverpool have the Chavs (a) before we play them and Brighton (a) afterwards - those dropped points looking awful now as I think the Mickeys will lose at least 2 more, possibly more

Re: Other Matches Thread
Mind boggling how shit cheaty have become. This time last year they were romping home with ease as we prayed they’d even draw a game. 2/3 nil up by halftime most weeks.
12 months on and they’re an absolute fucking shambles. I wouldn’t fancy them to beat anyone these days.

Re: Other Matches Thread
Hence why we should call a spade a spade and give Arteta his flowers for keeping us relatively competitive despite the injuries, ridiculous officiating and crazy fixture schedule. We’ve adapted, grind out results and rarely get pulled apart. City collapsed from the moment they lost Rodrirodders999 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 4:59 pmMind boggling how shit cheaty have become.
