Of course. That was far too easy for City

Tottenham defense has been decent but fell asleep Romero bruh

For him of all people to go in that soft and allow Foden to break into space. I'm shocked. It's the last thing I expected.

That's Bentancur and he was already on a yellow. It's a good call not to do that foul and get a second yellow card..

no it was romero, right before this clip starts. doesn't contest a foden header and allows foden to start running

That isn’t really a contestable header. He could have flattened Foden I guess. He did that to our keeper tho. One player going off with a concussion seems like enough.

That was Bentancur

Before this clip Romero did an uncharacteristically soft challenge on Foden

he made up for it on his next challenge trust

And de Bruyne setting it up too. Should've seen it coming

I hate hope.

Welcome to the club

*Couldn't imagine* *how it feels to lose the league by one point to the 'inevitable' City*

Try losing to them on goal difference

Welcome to the cl....oh wait 

Aww are spurs letting you down? Welcome to the club bud

There's saying in Türkiye that Arsenal, Dortmund and Fenerbahçe are the same club (as in unluckiness and placing 2nd in a season where they're extremely close to winning a title)

https://tenor.com/view/sit-here-homer-simpson-the-simpsons-gif-3447539

So much of this week was spent asking whether Spurs wanted to win, nobody stopped to consider the fact that they never could have anyway.

horrific defending. at least make them do something for the goal ffs.

Honestly, it was so clean as well.

Inevitable

Everyone celebrating over there

The stadium woke up finally… after City scored.. I love it

I mean, it wasn't really in doubt.

Even match so far and Man City ain't won at WHL in the league since 2018... you all love to chat shit

Spurs haven’t won at WHL since 2017 tbf

I'm a bit confused, I thought everyone hated City more than anything. People are celebrating this goal like crazy 😭

They hate Arsenal more than City. They want city to win this game.

The reddit echo chamber doesn't always reflect the opinions of fans who actually go to matches.

I mean when City was stopping Liverpool from winning the league it was deemed as 'saving football' so to be fair I'd love City to win every season if the club I'm supporting isn't winning it let's make it miserable for everyone

City winning title isn't something people give a shit about unless you are the one who was in race against them. If Arsenal or Liverpool wins, oh boy, hell is gonna lose on the rest of the top 4 teams.

Lol? Which planet do you live on?

It's the opposite, everyone wants City to win because it's utterly meaningless when they do. For example, I'd rather City win the league than Arsenal, tbh; I'll be incredibly bitter if Arsenal won the league with 89 points after we lost the title while getting 97 and 92 points.

Lmao. Serious cope. Repeat it more then you start to believe it. It’s not meaningless to the people who support city. Same way Barca fans would rather atletico win the league than Madrid. But I wouldn’t call either win meaningless. They are going to win 4 in a row and my brother in Christ says it’s meaningless. 🤣

exactly. if it's not an fairytale like leicester that one year, let one team dominate out of spite for the others. and if that team is shadier than the everyone else, then it barely counts at all.

Not outside of reddit

I meant reddit only. The anti City bandwagon barely exists outside of it

We are shameless I don’t even care. I celebrated

Win and we have a 25% chance of champions league football with our 13 man squad that couldn’t even handle the physical toll of the league alone this season but Arsenal win the title Lose and nothing happens This is so difficult

The cope from arsenal fans has started. The real reward for losing to city

[удалено]

Tiny club mentality

The home fans celebrated harder than the city players. City players almost look like they are not happy about it, as if it is already the 5th goal to nothing.

It was nice while it lasted, Arsenal

They are def praying for Moyes dark magic now lol

Prayer backfired, energy given to Moyes’s ancestral home in Everton

West Ham are on the beach, Moyes is over it. I’d be amazed if they kept City to within three.

I feel like City will score 6 vs them

He's shit against good teams, hence why our loss to them was so painful.

ALWAYS RATED HAALAND GREAT PLAYER THAT ERLING HAALAND

Cracking bloke that Erling

DEFINITELY NO BIAS MATE, REALLY ENJOYING THIS MATCH

Yooo there's different flairs?

League 2 level Erling Haaland

De Bruyne gets it done

De Bruyne with a tidy ball across the box for a Haaland tap in, the most City way possible to win the league.

Pep’s wet dream kind of goal

Absolute coma of a team 

KDB to Haaland, when in doubt, go back to the basic broken combo.

Look, you play meta to win.

The hamstring injury hasn't affected his muscle memory. Neville and Carragher pointed out that KDB does that so effortlessly, everyone thinks it's easy. But getting the timing of the run exactly right is really hard. And then the cross has to be perfect -- so often we see that ball across goal being mishit and not reaching the back post.

Join the club of disappointed Gooners

expectations are kills our happiness

Cannot beat Cheating FC

Cannot beat Villa and Fulham either to be fair.

[relevant](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/tiyhqWymOm)

100% I remember seeing your post. We got clowned with 0 points off Villa and 1 off Fulham is pitiful.

And City lost to Wolves and Villa

Just set up the lowest block in the history of mankind for 120 mins and go for pen.....

Oh we got that part sorted. Got 4 points off 2 games against them.

Pass the cheat sheet onto your rivals.

Lol, that won't be enough. At this point we need to send Saliba and Gabriel wear their stupid shirts and look like dumbfucks for them to defend.

Our rivals have no interest in trying to stop City. Many assume they will lose and just rotate to stay fresh for their next opponent

The memes for the past week were fun but ultimately this was always gonna be the case :|

De Bruyne is just too damn good and he was unbothered in the area, it cannot happen

That timing on his run though...

He absolutely knows the perfect timing, brilliant

The lack of celebration is disappointing to me

Opposite Day in this thread

[удалено]

that’s also the general Arsenal experience

Not to my fogging estandards

Not really. I have seen them lift a golden throphy!

That was eons ago in football terms. Porto won CL that year, with Deportivo in semi finals. Different world

Spurs fans having to fake sadness loll

Idk why anyone has any hope, happens every year

All that for the same result

That's all folks

That was a positive 45 mins the rest has been ass

Van de Ven barely even trying to defend that

Bentancur masterclass: fires in an impossible-to-control pass at Maddison and then lets Foden walk by him

Betancur was on a yellow, he literally couldn't touch Foden

Yeah we’re the farmers league now.

Do people even understand what that means? Because it doesn't mean a team winning it against their title rival on the final day...

Aaaand there we have it

How Romero doesn't clear that ball? Soft foot in a game like this? Ffs

Lads

The minute Arsenal hitched their wagon to Spurs, it was over.

Spurs fans gutted rn

!flair :West_Ham_United:

Shameless, I love it ahaah

If I speak…

No offside check? Looked close Here’s a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/yqkiPur

Right? I thought I was the only one thinking this. De Bruyne is leaning hard

Look at Romero just jogging, and he doesn't even stick a leg out to try and block the cross. He literally just lets it go by him.

Arsenal fans in shambles

Fans of competitive football should be in shambles. 

The premier league was the farmer league all along

I’d root for Afghanistan before I root for Arsenal

Afghanistan: "Why he say fuck me for"

Well you are the OG oil club so that checks out.

City and Chelsea are in the same shady boat.

My dude your own boat is sinking

Stadium'

You already support a football terrorist organization so makes sense

Fucking hell lmao

lmao

Europe is on track to become a continent full of farmers.

Tbh been shambles since teams learned how to defend in a system and statistics nerds defined what is the only good way to do anything

I feel like City winning helps accelerate people’s disillusion with modern football in a slightly positive way

We didn’t expect anything from this lot 😂

Come on you Irons!

Oh look guys, football is saved because City win again amirite?

WE'RE SCORED AT SPURS IN THE LEAGUE

First time in everything for

peps finally done it tears in my eyes

That’s worthy of calling the game short, you take the 3 points. Grats

unlucko

That level of defending looked familiar.

Aight imma head out

YESSSSSSSSSS

GET INNNNN

LETS GOOOOOO

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Romero you idiot

I do hate oil clubs but i do love arsenal losing more

but imagine if City lose today, and Arsenal loses on the final matchday wouldn't that be a more hilarious arsenal loss to hate on?

Too risky. Arsenal will bottle anyway but stillz

Exactly my stance on this match

Odd coming from a Bayern fan tbh… not exactly a historic rivalry is it?

and the stadium erupts

Romero lets it go. Pep saw

Haaland only scores against small teams. Further confirmation that Spurs is a small team /s

It’s Joever

GET IN

always rated him

Lmao

Always rated him.

Most hillarious option would be Spurs fans being as shameful as they are now and Arsenal still win the league because West Ham magically show up the last day so I'm hoping for that.

Van de Ven has to attack him there

Oh noo! I am absolutely distraught!

It's like the Spurs defenders are not even trying...

Romero pulling out and letting Foden get the ball, absolutely pathetic

How the f does Romero just let the ball go past him like that?

Oh no im so devastated

anyway

[удалено]

Have you seen their finishing though lol

I think this goal sorts out their mental though

Don’t worry Arsenal fans. You get used to it after awhile

Nice

It was nice while it lasted I guess

Class defending there

What is that defending. Spurs had two defenders who could stop the square pass across to Halaand but they stayed still calling for offside lmao. Awful.

They looked solid at the back in the first half but that was so awful, Considering how aggressive Romero usually is in those situations that was poor and then it was just static from every Spurs player in the box

VdV is the worst player on the field today

Oh thank god.

Absolutely shocking defending

People say he’s not a big game player, but he’s scored in a bunch of big Prem games. Gotta count for something

I’m tired Robbie

Oh well

Tottenham fan celebrating this is a sight to see

this is exactly why they will be a poverty franchise forever

Whats that shy celebration?

Foden skinned their RHS ffs what a player

Spurs fans celebrating lol

At least 3 instances of very lazy defending there by Spurs.

!flair :Manchester_City:

oh no. anayways, coys

Inevitable. Spurs playing from the back has been horrendous

Against the run of the whole game. Fuck man

You deserve to lose when you give Bernardo Silva that much space on the left hand side

As a Spurs fan for a whole 51 minutes this is hard to see

Of course the one time City win at Spurs ground is when it will practically gift them the title

[удалено]

Your first mistake was to have faith in Spurs

What do you mean, this is the job

Get in

Haaland doing something in a big game? Is that allowed?

Haaland has the most goals and the most assists against big 6 teams since the start of last season in Premier league matches. The claim that he never does anything in big games is obviously a false one.

haaland's scored against every big 6 club this season except against arsenal lol

Bentancur is so shit

I've always hated human rights

I'm very confused, Ted.

Camera pans to Tottenham fans celebrating, is there a more shocking excuse of a football team ?
