LondonLax Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Just now, BleedClaretAndBlue said: A lot being made of their celebrations. Its nothing new. Their last 2 wins at VP; exactly the same. They didnt get the last laugh. Villa away is a big scalp. Most clubs must see it that way, especially nowadays. Their fans talk about us costing them the title last season (because we took 6 points from them and only 3 from City). When you add in the Emery and Martinez connections it makes sense that they look out for our fixtures in the calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few teams whose fans I genuinely detest and these lot are top of the heap. The only trophy Arteta won was with Emi in goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) They aren't that great They looked very suspect yesterday when we went at them and were very fortunate to not concede I think teams give them far too much respect Edited August 25 by Pinebro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 3 hours ago, LondonLax said: As much as Arteta is a weird guy you have to say he’s done a good job there. They are title contenders every season and if it wasn’t for 115FC they would be the top side in the league. Wonder how many PL titles they'd already have if they kept Emery and Martinez, and were buying £50-£100m players for every position. Answer: more than 0 That's what they really hate about Martinez. Slapping them in the face what they could have done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took them way longer than it needed to if they had just kept Martinez but they have found a top keeper at last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really follow the hype in the U.K. media I suppose. He took over when they were a Europa league side and has turned them into title contenders. It would just be churlish to say he’s not done well there. Especially when you consider what Man City are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done well there no doubt But ultimately he's still only won one trophy and I'd make an argument that they throw the league away because he over plays key players meaning they can't last the pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
