Probably will get stick for this, but after nearly 20 years, I want it fair and square. I want it through sweat and tears and through our sheer hard work, not because of some cheap luck. I’d rather Man City if they are guilty that they get dropped significant points this season than their title revoked from last season’s PL win. That is done and dusted and the FA should own up to it for taking long to do something about it.
No arsenal fan would be happy about it.
Winning the title means experiencing it. We want that. We want to have a party about wining the league.
same
I’m still annoyed that Liverpool’s first title in decades had to be the damned Covid year
You’ve got nothing to worry about mate
“Our sheer hard work”. Footy fans, man hahaha
bro thinks he’s on the pitch 💀💀
How old are you and which country are you from?
There you go!
It being stripped doesn’t mean it’ll be awarded to the second placed team.
That’s not how it would probably work anyways. They just declare there’s no winner of the league in that season and the history books are re-written as such
Wouldn’t worry about it because only the internet fuckjobs are even contemplating this happening.
With arsenals spending under Arteta, If arsenal do win a title in the near future, they’ll have bought it just like every other side out there.
“Under Arteta” is a pretty disingenuous way to say “Arsenal finally able to spend after years of frugality, stadium debt repayments and an owner willing to put his hand in his pocket to fluff the coffers after 10 years of boardroom battles whilst routinely laughed at by all and sundry in the league due to Arsenal never spending or competing, to finally getting their ducks in a row, after 20 years of waiting to compete fairly with the artificial clubs with owners who sell oil / enslave their people”
Thats a lot of waffle.
You might want to go look at your transfer history during that period. you can’t claim frugality whilst also spending £72 million on Pepe.
Since arteta has gone to Arsenal, no manager has spent more money at a single club, it’s a failure if you don’t win trophies after such outlay.
Pepe was the exception that proved the rule of frugality, it’s not a case against it.
But carry on with that narrative if it helps you sleep at night.
Aubameyang, ozil, lacazette…
how many exceptions before your incorrect view crumbles before you? Arsenal routinely spent big numbers throughout over a decade of systemic failure.
That’s ok then cos it ain’t gooner happen (see what I did there? I’ll get my coat)
As a Man Utd fan, I’ll happily take the one where Ole finished second 🙃
So by that logic, should Everton also be relegated retroactively?
Even if they get points deducted this season and Arsenal win it’ll have a * by it and won’t be considered fair and square, they should be expelled from the football pyramid and we can get on with real competition from next season.
A. The investigation will take years. They’re not going to have a point deduction this season.
B. If they cheated, they cheated. If they gained financial advantage, allowing them to sign players, managers, win games and ultimately trophies, then they should be punished. If it means another team (Arsenal or otherwise) wins it as a consequence, then that other team won it “fair and square”.
C. not directly related to your post, but if Everton gets 10 points for 1 charge, I hope City get what they deserve for 115 charges. This could mean Championship football and stripping them from title, Italian football did it to Juventus.
Nothing is happening to City. I will believe it when i see it.
I want it!
