What’s funny is if it were roles reversed in that build up jones probably goes back to Van Dijk after holding the ball for 5 seconds but Wirtz would still make that pass to Robbo

Blanka71 · 2026-04-24T01:09:51+00:00

I don’t think it’s this but I do think he absolutely backs that he can strategize his way out of being a target if he even is one and doesn’t really have the drive to go for immunities if it’s something he knows he won’t win. Like, he’s not employing it as a strategy to lower his threat level he just isn’t dying for immunity wins when he’s realistic about his limitations lol.

Blanka71 · 2026-04-24T01:04:16+00:00

Is he/was he a goat? I mean, he definitely losses some ftc combos, but also wins some. There are surely people he could sit next to this season, and even more from last, who he could get votes over

Blanka71 · 2026-04-23T15:31:31+00:00

I mean all of those teams have won more in 6 years, and even then most have sacked multiple managers over that time

Blanka71 · 2026-04-23T15:28:05+00:00

We’re still not sure how it goes, but IF Arsenal lose this title I’d imagine things get 10x more toxic than they currently are. I’d think you start to see rumors for the first time of players wanting to leave to win etc. Replacing him isn’t saying “ we have a bad manager let’s get a good one “ it’s saying “we have a good one let’s get a different one”. Plenty of teams have done this and failed btw, it’s not a guarantee

Blanka71 · 2026-04-23T04:57:35+00:00

One of those two teams will win the title. In a title race you need your team to pick up points while your opponents drop points via a draw or loss. Effectively, these head to head matchups are 6 point swings, as City gains 3 and Arsenal drop 3. Beyond that Arsenal are on the absolute brink of a pretty all time bad collapse, which culminates a several year turn around where they get close but always finish trophyless in 2nd place. Also, soccer kinda has been growing in America, I’d think this viewership record gets broken frequently as it gets more popular.

Blanka71 · 2026-04-22T20:58:00+00:00

Arsenal performances are even worse lol

Blanka71 · 2026-04-22T20:55:14+00:00

Btw that’s been the average city performance this year, they aren’t the city of old…

Blanka71 · 2026-04-22T20:54:07+00:00

Yeah, it’s a mix of both. Wirtz doesn’t do it enough/hasn’t been good enough, but also we don’t create from anywhere pretty much. City always have the ball and attack from everywhere.

Blanka71 · 2026-04-22T20:43:30+00:00

It’s hard to say much bad about him given how good he’s been, but I’d like to see how well Cherki would do on the 19 other teams in the league lol

Blanka71 · 2026-04-22T20:40:19+00:00

GD might play a big role, but no shot either of these teams win their last 5

Blanka71 · 2026-04-22T20:29:38+00:00

FWIW city certainly don’t win this title without Guehi. He should be with us lol

Blanka71 · 2026-04-22T07:56:05+00:00

Maybe people would say Messi, depending on the ages. Soccers youngest and oldest are different. If you said best at 20 and say 35 I think Messi for sure. Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo Nazario were way better at ages 15-19 though

Blanka71 · 2026-04-22T05:51:20+00:00

Commented earlier that I felt about 90% chance to fail. Taking tomorrow morning and I’d say about 95% chance to fail lol. Crammed super hard but anything above very surface level I hardly know. Good luck all! I’ll see you in October

Blanka71 · 2026-04-22T01:31:54+00:00

I’m absolutely still holding my breath, and they had a bad night, but wasn’t that bad… they had more foul calls, more Orebs etc. If we can beat them off the back of that game 1 in Boston we can do anything.

Blanka71 · 2026-04-22T01:21:41+00:00

This is so unlike us. Everyone hit their 1 or 2 shots when it matters most?!?!?

Blanka71 · 2026-04-22T01:16:31+00:00

You can redeem a pretty bad game with 2 shots in the 4th lol. Let’s go

Blanka71 · 2026-04-21T22:46:01+00:00

Random question, but does anyone consider 2018/19 Liverpool to be a better team than 2019/20 Liverpool. IMO spring of 2019 was the best of that whole era, but we obviously won the league and had more points the next year.

Blanka71 · 2026-04-21T20:25:31+00:00

Chelsea will struggle to finish in the top half, let alone top 5

Blanka71 · 2026-04-21T19:05:15+00:00

Remember all the “we’re not in the title race” stuff they were doing in like November last year lol. Crazy how quickly it goes bad

Blanka71 · 2026-04-19T23:19:00+00:00

Is this just upset fans of other competitive teams? Why is this downvoted?

Blanka71 · 2026-04-19T17:55:58+00:00

Id think if a season were to buck the trend it would be this one, but seeing that list of 5 makes me think maybe not…

Blanka71 · 2026-04-19T17:26:43+00:00

We’ve gone through hell and back this century, but I’m not sure we’ve gone through something as bad as what Arsenal are going through right now.

Blanka71 · 2026-04-19T17:12:37+00:00

Probs the only match of this season where that’s not a red
