    Who gives a fuck?

    If we don’t win the title does it matter that much what the results are from now till the end of the season.

    In some ways it’s an utter joke that we’ve won 23 out of 31 and have only lost three times yet we know the title is over. Don’t get me wrong giving up a two goal lead in back to back games is totally unacceptable but 74 points with 7 to play. For me I’m more thinking now I know how Liverpool feel

    The painful thing is we made this similar mistake 7 days ago...and though West ham might be inferior to Liverpool... the fact that we had a +5 goal disadvantage to Citeh and we were playing a team who was obviously tired having played on Thursday....come on any serious manager and any serious set of players would have gone for the kill.

    I state we should have won this game 5-0...and if we'd kept on with the effort we showed for the first 10 mins it would have been 4-0 by half time

    We deserve what we get this season...and the last few games has shown us our fate.

    Pathetic...(11 cup finals indeed!!).

    Depressed is not the word. Quite why we took our footoff the gas at 2-0 is astonishing
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    There was always hope but I don’t think anyone saw this 2 goal collapse coming. Anfield fair enough but this was just horribly careless and reeks of a team that’s suffering now.

    I don’t think anyone can sensibly predict an Arsenal victory at the Etihad. So we’re just relying on City dropping points unexpectedly.

    Miracles can happen but I’m not doing this to myself now. I’d rather just wallow until we’re put out of our misery.

    Still in our hands, butterfingers.

    We have such little composure at the back without Saliba there. Holding has battled well but the difference in quality is obvious.

    I don’t disagree

    But I think what’s more disturbing is how when things don’t go our way the same passes don’t come off, we give away the ball, make needless fouls.

    For me that comes from midfield. I don’t particularly like Declan Rice but he was a hell of a lot better than Partey, Xhaka or Jorginho today. If that is who is considered would improve our midfield engine I say go for it. Game is won and lost in the middle of the park

    Yeah but to be fair we are up against a serial title winner in City, a team that has won 4 out of the past 5 titles, that's why I think the Title is over. The better team has the momentum and will most likely go on to win the title. We have at times looked very very good this season and up until a month or so ago we looked the best team, we don't anymore, City do and will most likely win it like they always do.

    Don’t preempt my response.

    We won’t win the league. I don’t know any Arsenal fan who thought we would.
    City were always going to steamroll us. It is disappointing to mess up today and make it easy for them though.
    Dude, we should have won this league and you know this.

    No one should make it sound like we've not thrown it away with insipid performances since it became crystal clear we were favourites.

    This is the Leicester season all over again ( we did the double over Leicester in case people have forgotten), only difference being we polish this loss to the fact that its City.

    We bottled it...we might have over performed, but we bottled it.

    And if you need to analyse it, think of who we dropped points to and the manner we dropped them.

    Ridiculous

    In fairness that was the point I was making without mentioning City
