    Far more hilarious to wipe the smile off Klopp’s smug face and have all of those Scousers crying again.

    IMO.

    Why don't I like arsenal?

    Fans are bell ends.
    Like proper bell ends without a semblance of self awareness.
    Some Watford fans are actually Arsenal fans who can't get a ticket. Just **** off.

    City may be morally corrupt at the highest level, but their fans are either tourists or genuine fans. They're not even the worst fans in Manchester are they?

    I certainly take the final point.

    It’s odd, I have always disliked Spurs far more than Arsenal.

    What a mad weekend football wise ! Friday night Leicester fell over themselves, Leeds are falling apart
    again , and Spurs went all Spursy then today Rangers lost to someone or other whilst Liverpool couldn't hit a barn door and Arse have done their usual bottle job at this time of the season . Absolute madness !!

    I can't decide who is worse. If Spurs had to win 6 games to win the league I'd be delighted if they ****ed it up too.

    The best thing about Leicester winning the league was that Spurs didn’t.

    Arsenal were the original Spursy team back in the 70s and 80s however that all changed when they beat Liverpool 2-0 last match of the 88/89 season . Liverpool were this irritating unbeatable juggernaut at the time winning endless leagues and cups . I had a soft spot for the Arse after that, however in recent years they have morphed back into that Spursy type Arsenal of yesteryear and thus my contempt for them has returned

    ABC, a soulless, cheating, synthetic football club who will have won 6 of the last 7 premier leagues if they do it again this season. Regardless of us being Watford fans who will never win it ourselves, presumably we’re all football fans by extension and it’s baffling anyone would want to repeatedly see such an outcome, year after year after tedious year.

    Two seasons in a row Arsenal have been on top only to fall. I am aware the season is not over and there are two points between City and third-placed Liverpool, but it is now City's to lose. Arsenal had a huge opportunity today and squandered it and I'm all here for it- I despise them and their idiot fanbase. Rats.

    I think it's probably done now and Arsenal/Liverpool have a tough, tough job to ensure it isn't.

    The Premier League is a conundrum that makes the brain ache.

    Obviously we're all delighted at downcast scousers getting beat and Jirmin Jurgen's dreams dashed. Nobody likes a triumphant 'eh mate' Scouser. Nobody. So even though it was odious Palarse who beat them, you've got to be pleased about that.

    Then, on the subject of arses, there's the hilarious comedy of the miserable gonners bottling it yet again! Hahahaha etc. I think you'd agree.

    It's not great that shhitty city win it again. But it's the least of the evils and they did give the plucky shatters a big dent in their goal difference. So I suppose I'm with them for the title.

    PS. Also enjoying seeing spuds blow up.

    Especially given they've done with 100+ charges over their heads. I'd rather Arsenal or Liverpool won over them every time. State run football clubs have ruined football at a competitive level.

    Feel for those Everton fans who travelled down to Chelsea on a Monday night .

    Been destroyed by one man .

    Extraordinary season (apart from Man City likely winning it yet again), if largely for the wrong reasons.

    Only 8 points separate 6th and 13th place, you usually get that tightness in the Championship and not in the Premier League. I can't remember a season in the Prem where with five games to go, a team as low as 13th (Bournemouth) were already mathematically safe from relegation - even last season when Everton survived with only 36 points, you had to go as high as 9th to find a team (Brentford) that were already safe at the same stage of the season. Then you get Everton losing 10 points, getting 4 back and losing 2 for another offence, with Forest losing 4 for good measure. Man Utd having one of their worst seasons since the early Fergie years (if not their worst), with home defeats to Palace, Bournemouth and Fulham and yet will likely fluke a Europa League spot again thanks to the inconsistency of others and a freak finish at home to Chelsea.

    They may not be allowed into the Europa League.
    Radcliffe owns Nice(?) and if they qualify for that MU would go into the Conference League or not at all if Nice qualify for that.
    Nice are currently fifth. Not sure how many places Ligue 1 has.

    Seems like they have had a chat or two and found a loophole to make it all ok .

    UEFA won't care - just look at the RB teams. Plus Ineos aren't the majority owners of Utd anyway (supposedly).

    Does that matter? I thought Radcliffe was only a minority shareholder?

    I think Leipzig are 'technically' owned by the fans, as per Germany's 50+1 rule

    Chelsea flogging their hotels to their own owner in order to avoid financial restrictions. An option not open to many other clubs and skews the entire landscape according to which clubs diversified, bought other assets, or are simply standing in more valuable parts of the country.

    Nauseating. The game has become so bloated and greedy. It's salivated over mostly by only the money-obsessed now.

    That's something that you can't do now in the EFL after Derby and Wednesday tried it!

    Well the top 3 can all concentrate on the title race now and goodbye to that extra Champions league spot.

    He's a monster. But we've had more silky skillful players at Watford in the last few years.

    Interesting to see plucky Bedfordshire club who play in vomit colour kit would be 5 points off safety without FFP points deductions.

    Maybe that is what we are saving the home win for.

    When we play Luton ?!
