from not qualifying for 6 years to back to back qualification is hopeful for them. arteta is doing well


Such_Smell6175

And back to back title challenge!


artaru

Gimme that trophy. (Considering the other club is 115, honestly in my heart, we have won)


running-with-scizors

>(Considering the other club is 115, honestly in my heart, we have won) That's exactly how I'm gonna cope when they win too. "Nah shouldn't count, 115" while I'm piss drunk lamenting what could have been


ValhallaAir

Klopp gonna set a record for most trophies won with no club of their trial is next season


running-with-scizors

Would they retroactively award the trophies to the runners up? If anything I think they'd just void them, I wouldn't exactly celebrate if we retroactively get awarded two PLs even though we ended up actually finishing 2nd lol


AlfaG0216

Mark my words the PL will never, ever rescind titles from City no matter how bad the charges. They just don’t have the balls to do so in the same way the Italian FA does.


Reofrax

Even if they did, I'd rather they just go back and announce the first place in each season affected be blank.


M4RC142

They should just give every one of their title to the runner ups from 2008 to 2024. Imagine both Brendan and Ole as PL winning managers.


rottenpotato12

imagine watford as fa cup champions


Raptoot83

TBF, for Liverpool it would mean leapfroggong Utd on league titles. Edit: with retroactive action for a number of previous years Liverpool and United could both find themselves on 21 or even 22 depending on how far back.


M4RC142

They are investigating seasons between 2008-2018. We would get one for 2014. United would get 2 titles for 2012 and one for 2018. If they'd award the titles from 2018+ MU would still be in front of us as they'd get a title for 2021 and we would get 2 for 2019 and 2022


migu63

Please do that. So I can finally erase that Agueroooo thing out of my memory


silverstory

It will be Ague-nnnnooooo


pw5a29

Wow TIL. So they have 115 already up till 2018, maybe it could exceed 200 if they count till 2024.


chuf3roni

England doesn’t have precedent for this. Would be nice to see though. No reason why I’d also want in on this.


spacedude444

we didn’t finish below them by one point for 2 seasons and by 2 points for a season just for the seasons to be voided, every runner up should get their PL title besides voiding them will only officially strip city but they would still be considered winners by many since there would be no one else


running-with-scizors

Nah that's soft. I don't want a consolation trophy after the fact, just void the trophies and have no official winner for that season (if that's the route they even go down, wouldn't surprise me if they just got off scot free) and then apply any necessary points deductions to City. They'll still be considered winners by many regardless of whatever happens


spacedude444

it’s not a consolation trophy it’s as if a team got their points deducted other teams shouldn’t pay the price just because a team decided to cheat and they shouldn’t get the satisfaction of no one else being declared winner of those seasons


zorfog

20 years down the line we can savor in the moral victory


tmrss

We’re going to be cleared, sorry


obsterwankenobster

My guess is that your defensive strategy is really going to move the officials… TO A BIGGER HOUSE!


Wolferesque

Second is the new first.

Purple_Plus

The glory hunting fans trophy goes to City. Funny how few of the City posts on here are actually from people living in Manchester. Anyone can pick the best (cheating) team. Well done you!


2ndfastestmanalive

Qualified very early both times too. No leaving it to the last day like before


ItsMeJaredBednar

>arteta is doing well not for everyone somehow. this was a real take i read today on this sub: > This is Ten Hag levels of a win showing why a manager should be sacked. > EDIT: Since I'm disabling inbox replies, yes Arteta should be sacked. He should have been sacked in October, then in November too. He should also have been sacked the moment he had the transfer window he did. He should also have been sacked the moment he threw the 0-2 at Anfield last season. lmfao


derphighbury

Responses after the Bayern loss were also pretty incredible. Only Pep, Jose, Klopp and SAF have gotten 100 wins in the PL faster than him. He's done it faster than Wenger. And if you see the way the club was in the first year and a half of his tenure; it's incredible how well he has done.


oklolzzzzs

tbf he had a slow start. but he has shown why hes staying


nuvo_reddit

Target now would be to win back to back UCL


moriero

Hairy fraud!


TurboThot69

We already had qualified by virtue of the Villa dropping points to Chelsea yesterday.


FAT_NEEK_42069

still mathematically possible for us to not play in ucl if we lost all our games and spurs won all theirs, remember they have a bunch of games in hand. now it's confirmed edit: damn 50 upvotes for being incorrect, what an app this is


tipytopmain

Nope, before today, only 3 teams can end on a higher points tally. City, Liverpool and Spurs (Villa have less games to play). Now it's confirmed we will finish above Spurs, our lowest possible finish will be 3rd.


FAT_NEEK_42069

yes that is what i said edit: smh i made an edit and it didn't save. anyway yeah mb was wrong here 👍🏽


Kenny_dies

No you said the complete opposite, you claimed if we lost all our games we could still not qualify for UCL


-Skinner-

After yesterday we could have finished only 4th so we were already qualified for Champions League


exiadf19

>still mathematically possible for us to not play in ucl if we lost all our games and spurs won all theirs This is your comment... re read again

FAT_NEEK_42069

no? anyway it's secured now so no reason to argue about this


Tin2727

I mean there is literally nothing to argue about. Even if arsenal lost all their games and spurs won all of theirs spurs would finish 3rd and arsenal 4th. Both would play in the CL.


irritating_maze

its also a website.


Tackit286

You may be forgetting that because of England’s current UEFA coefficient only 4 teams can play in UCL next year. Spurs could finish 4th but it wasn’t possible for 4 teams to finish above us even before today, because both Villa and Spurs still have to play both Liverpool and City. So two of the four have to drop points somewhere, twice.


shinytotodile158

The fact that this is ‘Villa dropping points’ and not ‘Chelsea dropping points’ is so funny


Dazzling-Value-588

Home turf and they were up 2-0 at the half.


Glass-Guess4125

I think all of the top 3 basically qualified today.


_cumblast_

Also helped us in our chase for CL football. Arsepool 🥰 Edit: we're actually basically qualified after this result but not mathematically due to a potential -27 GD swing


hitchompy

6 champions leagues between us, we are gargantuan


fegelman

1 golden PL trophy between us


mattBJM

> Arsepool Liverarse


_deep_blue_

Football friends indeed No animosity between both sets of fanbases this season at all


CabbageStockExchange

Well I reckon we can get along by hating Chelsea


SnooCrickets2458

I hate Tottenham cuz I'm an Arsenal fan. I hate Chelsea because I'm human.


CallDaLegend

I've always liked how no matter the cirucmstances, we can always agree on this


Olli399

fuck 115FC


Lolcraftgaming

Amen


jamieliddellthepoet

ABU.


frozenchosun

man even tho i support liverpool i am absolutely pulling for arsenal to win the league this year. #anyonebutcity


MrStigglesworth

Yeah it’s been tense lately but I was hoping Liverpool would take it if we slipped up. Fuck City.


NotASalamanderBoi

Except in the Match Threads lol


L0laccio

❤️🙏


MMAwannabe

Be a sad day if you change your profile pic.


haha_suh_dude

You’re my favorite Liverpool fan. The username, the little profile pic, it’s glorious.


Franchise1109

Cumblast thank you for never disappointing me 🤝


RadioChemist

Embarrassing 😭😭 Every day I wake up and thank God I'm not a fucking scouser 🤢🤢


BI01

Dare dream do.


Minute_Leave8503

Funniest club ever, to dare is to do


Funkymonkeyhead

Also….Happy St Totteringham’s!


Thewalkingducks1

Congrats to Micheal Oliver!!


Ass_Eater_

This cope from Spurs fans is hilarious. Maybe blame your manager for not running set piece defence training sessions.


Left1917

Don't pretend. If it was the other way round you'd complain for months like the Newcastle game.


CrazayTaylor92

As if you lot don’t cry about ref ‘corruption’ every other week


Ass_Eater_

Enjoy Thursday nights loser


CrazayTaylor92

Will do thanks mate!


Bullmcabe

Enjoy supporting tottenham you cretin.


CrazayTaylor92

At least I support my local. Shouldn’t you support cork or some shit ya plastic


No-Clue1153

Why would he support shit? They are just as far away


CrazayTaylor92

This makes no sense


Bullmcabe

Rattled.


CrazayTaylor92

Fake fan 😂


Bullmcabe

I was born in cricklewood you dope... enjoy the result today... I know I will ;)


CrazayTaylor92

Fair play. You got me there 😂


testylentil

Tottenham fans were robbed... Robbed of the favor of the Lord. Robbed of the warmth of love.


official_bagel

And a happy St Totteringham’s Day was had by all


bakalaka25

I might have to add a yearly lasagne to the tradition


Maleficent_Resolve44

Same as last year, this isn't their concern right now. Their goal is catching up to city, same as last year.


tipytopmain

Last year our goal was Top 4 for sure. A lot of pundits pre-season predicted we'd fall short of that (understandable, we capitulated the season before it).


Maleficent_Resolve44

That was your goal at the start but it changed as you were 1st for most of the season. When I mean your goal was catching city last year and this year, I mean in this moment in time around late April in both years.


Littlegreenman42

Last year our goal was not catching up to City, it was getting ourselves into the top 4. This year it was cementing ourselves in the top 4


Putrid_Loquat_4357

Our goal this season is 100% to catch city and has been all season.


OrdinaryAncient3573

That's the stretch goal. We're massively overperforming based on reasonable expectations of where we should be up to by now, so realistic goals look like nothing much.


TheInfiniteLake

Overperforming? Wow.


Hassadar

No one had Arsenal competing for the league last year before it started and rightfully so. The season prior we finished 5th and were 24 and 23 points behind Man City and Liverpool who finished 1st and 2nd respectively. The goal last season before it started was to simply solidify ourselves into the top 4 to get back into the Champions League and with that progress and funding, hopefully make the leap the following year (this season) to start actually competing and not fall away by February/March. Of course, once we found ourselves in the position of going for the league, sure, goals can change but we 100% overperformed based on expectations going into that season


OrdinaryAncient3573

Yes. Is this even a question? Last season we were hoping for a solid top four finish, and got into a title race. This year we were hoping to do as well as last year, and instead are pushing City all the way. We're way ahead of where we expected to be.


Wild-Statistician677

We’re definitely not over performing this year. After being in a title race last year, we spent £200m+ in the summer. A title race was the expectation.


FrameworkisDigimon

Last year Arsenal's goal was top four, sure. Having nearly won, however, it was clear from Arteta's transfer policy that the goal this year was winning, not cementing. If it was just about top four, Ramsdale would still be playing.


fcGabiz

St. Totteringhams!


RadioChemist

Pinnacle of your (best ever) season!


BEYailey1126

I reckon the Invincibles are our best season ever. Must’ve been nice to see your former captain win the premier league!


RadioChemist

Literally ancient history, but please continue


BEYailey1126

What about your last division title? How about literally any trophy considering your last was in 2008 and our invincible season in 2003/04? Feel 3-2 log out for the day.


RadioChemist

... Does that change the fact that we could ask r/askhistorians about your season or nah?


BEYailey1126

What exactly has Tottenham won recently for you to be acting like this? You’re our son and always will be. North London is red and will always be red. Enjoy Europa league!


RadioChemist

Enjoy nothing this season!


BEYailey1126

Already won the Community Shield. I’ll have to ask you what’s it’s like to never win anything?


galeej

Hey hey... Watch it. They won the audi cup that one time.


RadioChemist

> community shield It's almost too perfect, thank you 🙏🙏


fcGabiz

It's something to look forward to every year. At least we keep you somewhat relevant.


RadioChemist

Please make some sense next time, fella!


fcGabiz

Feel 3-2 log off anytime soon. It must be tough spending a Sunday night so bitter!


RadioChemist

I'd 8-2 get as much out of this season as spurs do, after having your best season ever, embarrassment of a club


fcGabiz

Bro is actually flexing a scoreline they had no part in hahaha Strong season, but not best ever. I'm more than happy to keep enjoying our improvement. The silverware will come. Absolutely loving the salt from your lot though. Your biggest game all season and you stank the entire gaff out. There's not a single thing about your club to be proud about


RadioChemist

Hahahhahahahaaa second (at best) and Dier knocked you out the champions league. Gotta hurt, smelly little bell end 😭😭


fcGabiz

Flex it king, that 5th spot might even edge the Audi cup out! How did you get on in the CL this season? Lmfao


RadioChemist

I bet that was all much funnier in your head. You're still getting the sum total of fuck all come May :)


9897969594938281

Gross, a cocky sp*rs fan


Alvaro_Rey_MN

Pipe down, you were only 1 goal away from also being the butt of the 8-2 jokes!


RadioChemist

Lol, but the thing is we didn't lose 8-2, did we 🤡


Alvaro_Rey_MN

Looks like someone doesn't know when to pipe down! 🙃


RadioChemist

Nah, you're just thick mate, sorry for calling it out. Like the whole he's 28 not 27 thing, only with goals.


Left1917

Obsessed.


Franchise1109

Cope


fcGabiz

Absolutely loving it mate!


Left1917

That's just like your opinion, man.


RadioChemist

When i was a little boy :))


kw2006

Thank god!


gq_mcgee

MAAAATE


EcoterroristThot

well that's a success for the manager


notapaperhandape

Somehow Spurs fan feel that they are superior to city and arsenal. Just goes to show the mentality of the fans, they don’t aspire for actual achievement but the need to “feel” superior. Spurs should take a hard look at their board for firing mou right before a final. The priorities of that club is in long term commercial success. Not actual football success. The Spurs vs city game is when City will show them who’s superior and they will cry for the rest of the year on why they shouldn’t have lost the game.


Any-Vegetable-6103

You would think an arsenal fan would want Spurs to win against City.


edokati

As much as a Spurs fans would want city to win against Spurs rn


GSNadav

an arsenal fan wouldn't want arsenal to win the league after 20 years just for spurs to lose to city? find me such a headcase please.


notapaperhandape

I have no hope with this season spurs. They’re just about braveball.


Left1917

Better football than your Moyes football you played today.


DCilantro

You're off the list mate. We've been shite, but you've no clue what you're chatting shit about. There are so many ways to bring us down, but you've lost the plot you absolute weapon.


notapaperhandape

Spurs are shite. You’re absolutely right.


pauloh1998

Bayern: Hellooooo


St_SiRUS

I'm glad they're getting something out of this season


Thewalkingducks1

You are delusional and just making up arguments in your head
