No not happy or celebrating that we lost a game, but happy that now you will probably not win the league, big difference, don’t you get it?

And every Arsenal fan and I know a few, that I’ve spoken to over the last few days said they would be exactly the same if it was the other way round

Arsenal only have themselves to blame losing at home to villa & parking the bus against city last time out , thought Spurs gave it a good go tonight against a very good team that haven't lost in over five months ,

They actually thought that Spurs were going to get a result against the best team in the world, delusional

Spurs I felt gave it a real good go & I still don't think the penalty was a penalty, not sure why the Arsenal fans are so upset with the spurs fans , if the roles were reversed they'd be exactly the same

Because they were relying on us doing their job for them

That's that then.

It was a foregone conclusion really, or forlorn hope.....

Loosing to Villa twice was probably the small difference...especially the home loss.

Losing away to Fulham having been a goal up was the difference - but it doesn’t come down to one match …

Enjoy losing the league to a bunch of cheats by a point or 2.

Grow up. Trumped up charges, which will be thrown in the bin where they belong.

Whether it’s arsenal, liverpool or even spurs, surely a competitive league and one with different champions is good??

Whatever the rights and wrongs of FFP rules, these charges are definitely not "Trumped up"

Spurs fans really are disgraceful… imagine being happy your own team lost… beggars belief.

You should look at the games you threw away instead of crying about Spurs fans enjoying the fact you bottled the league I’m sure you’d have loved it if the roles were reversed

Of course they are, any City fan knows that,

I deliberately avoided your thread but knew you'd come crawling out.

Trumped up, that's a good one.

Overall a decent season, I’m glad we don’t ‘owe’ Spuds anything.

Let’s get the final game out of the way and recharge for next season, in Arteta we trust.

But no, rather celebrate getting 5th. I hope city draw on last day of the season and this spurs celebrated loss is egg on their face as Arsenal win the league.

Richarlison is a meme for their club this season, high hopes but a bit crap with a small dose of 'the mentals'.

[Wonderman]

Ours and Citeh matches have been chosen for TV (TNT and Sky bets respectively) on the final day. So we top the league of TV selections at least 28 games this season just think of the £££.

The sanctions against Citeh have been confirmed, in the spirit of fair play and transparency they will be docked 1 penalty kick award v West Ham via VAR whilst hosting their Dubai refs awards at the same time- the suspended docking can only be invoked after Citeh are 4 up. The EPL says that they'll call that quits for the 115 charges and we should all stop going on about it.

There's nothing wrong with hoping your own team loses in certain circumstances. I was happy when England lost to Belgium in the last match of the 2018 WC group stages, because finishing 2nd gave us a much easier route thru the competition. We made the semis, Belgium didn't.

Exactly, well done to Arteta and the team for pushing City to the last day, somone needs to challenge the FFP cheats to keep it interesting.

Spurs put a decent shift in last night, I am sure most of their supporters (every team has a minority of idiots) wanted them to win but, having lost, consider it a consolation that it reduced your chances. Nothing odd about that IMO.

Thought Ange handled it well

Yes the most sensible post on here for 24hrs.

As I said on here last night

"No not happy or celebrating that we lost a game, but happy with the bonus that now you will probably not win the league, there is a big difference, don’t you get it?

And every Arsenal fan and I know a few, that I’ve spoken to over the last few days said they would be exactly the same if it was the other way round"

[TownIdiot]

Celebrating your rival's misfortune is all part of it, surely?

Just like any other English team playing in Europe.
An early and ignominious exit please, preferably on a long trip to some eastern European place you've never heard of.

Agreement from an Arsenal fan here. I’m not a huge fan of when some banter becomes petty and childish. Yes, it would have been great if Spurs had done us a favour but they played bloody well, and even then we should have done ourselves a favour with that home game against Villa.

Losing the title by a couple of points to an all time great PL team is no shame.

Yes, true there are the 115 charges against them, but it’s not all about money. If it was, Chelsea would be way up there and Man U wouldn’t be in a mess at the moment. City are a phenomenal team with money spent wisely, even if there most likely was an overspend, and a very very good manager.

[Wonderman]

Grab those "home" games whilst you can...

"Football's world governing body Fifa is to set to establish a working group to look at the impact of playing competitive domestic matches overseas.

A legal settlement agreed between Fifa and match promoter Relevant Sports in the USA has, in the words of Premier League chief executive Richard Masters, "left the door ajar" for league games to be played in different countries."

It ain't over till it's over.

West Ham are a stubborn lot and unlike the spuds they know how to win something
