Looking forward to some fresh faces at City, Pep's biggest challenge (well, apart from when he won f*ck-all the first season here) will be getting it to click like it did with Rodri, but without Rodri

5 in a row?  Ruining football one season at a time?  Chequebook manager?  115 Charges?  Alvarez has won everything, now it's time for him to lose?

only if you really want to see either of those teams. Pre-season friendlies are tepid affairs, and you're not even guaranteed to see the top players in action. A regular season game at LAFC for around

4 in a row is incredible.  Pep will be gone after next season and City will be behind Arsenal, deffo.  But always room for a "Ruining the league" post:

Well, I think Arsenal lost the league at the beginning of the season when Arteta was experimenting with playing Partey at RB(wtf), dropped Gabriel from the heart of defence, and insisted on playing Ha

City just get consistent at the end of the season and usually it's (just) enough.  That seems to be the key thing.  Last month I didn't see Arsenal dropping any points, they were slick af.

Arteta’s treatment of Partey this season has been bizarre. He was clearly one of our most important players last season, this season Arteta is on a mission to prove we don’t need him and that he was r

I think the bigger problem with last season’s stellar Arsenal performances is the expectations are different now, unrealistic perhaps.

Which one of you Messi stans bought your Miami Messi jersey or MLS season pass?

Saka (and others) looking like a player who’s played every minute of every game for the last 3 seasons. Arteta has work to do over the summer. I’m already thinking about next season and hoping Arteta

On the upside this has been an amazing rollercoaster season. More drama than the last ten combined. We’ve secured champions league for next season and I’m confident Arteta will address the lack of bot
