Definitely right!!!..

It would be unbearable.

[foxfanazer]

After watching those playoff games I'm confused. Why did Arsenal just put the ball in that net thing?

[UniFox21]

Entire united back line deserves criticism for that. All 5 of them in the box and still manage to concede 

[Unabomber]

Why would a neutral not want Arsenal to win? Keeps it interesting 

[fox_up_north]

Arsenal winning makes the league interesting. 4 in a row just turns us into Ligue 1 or Bundesliga of 10 years ago

[Corky]

Sad to see the club who created soccer in such a state.

Nothing interesting about it. Man city won't drop points to spurs or west ham

Dave Brailsford now there is the man to save Man United

yeah lets punt the ball long up field and hope we get the flick on

and on that, we do have players capable of it, theyve already shown it this season

 

although im pretty sure whatever style of play, games we win etc youd still moan

we didnt hoof long balls all the time under CR, it was counter attack football

im pretty sure you probably moaned about 15/16 season too then.....saying it would all go tits up after the Arsenal loss

 

and you say we are going to be the new "burnley" , its like me comparing myself to Elon Musk cos Ive got £7 in my wallet, money but different levels,

 

just cos we play a certain style of football; look deeper into the Burnley stuff and youll see, they have had a huge turnover in players, including a keeper who hasnt played at the top level(league 1 last season)then thrown into the prem.

a number of new defenders, Burnley for the past few months have looked alot better but it was too late.

 

 

 

 

Well there you go, you're just completely contradicted your own argument.

 

You originally spoke as if there are only two options, possession based/playing out from the back or hoof ball, until you were challenged.

 

Just because people don't like a certain style of football, doesn't mean the alternative is to hoof it, it isn't either/or, that's not what people want or are asking for.

 

As you've said yourself, Look deeper; Pragmatism, a shift, adapting, that's what people want to see, especially if we do indeed find ourselves in a similar rut that Burnley found themselves in.

 

It's nothing short of football snobbery.

It’s a bit chaotic & mildly amusing and entertaining to watch as a neutral.

[Leicesterpool]

Doesn't help this game that United know getting something from this game is gifting Man City the title. Very dull so far from Man U... though other weeks would you be able to tell the difference. 

 

Couldn't bare seeing Arsenal lift the trophy, and the press suck up they'll get. Plus least Leicester can still say "we won it more recent than you" 

[EastAnglianFox]

Manchester United dominated the early Premier league years and I’m happy for Manchester City to dominate this era, the more titles for them makes little old Leicesters season stick out even more imo

[weller54]

Arsenal are so dislikeable!!..

Bellends like White and Rice especially!

Prefer egg fried anyway!

[Leicesterpool]

Actually it's still unique to think, even our year out the premier league to do a bit of championship tour... Leicester have still won the premier league and even the fa cup more recent than either of these two clubs. How did that happen

[surrifox]

Evans prolonging his career by having a year off on full pay last season - blagger

I think all but one of Man City’s titles were clinched on the final day of the season whereas ours was around Easter Monday 🤣

[Lionator]

Our front 5 (wilf-kdh-mav-fat-var) is better than anything Utd have put out here. Honking stuff.

why do people dislike Arsenal?

they seem to play good football and have generally decent players and Arteta seems reasonable... surely anyone othe than Man city is an improvement?

Mainly Arteta. He's fairly unlikeable with his persistence in jumping around outside his technical area constantly. Comes across as a bit too arrogant to me personally. 

[Super_horns]

Going down to the final day at least.
 

Sky will be happy .

Press favourites and Londoners.

 

Even though I'm not keen on the manner of City's success, bought it all... I don't begrudge them for it. Especially knocking United of the perch and keeping the title away from the scoucers as much as possible.
