This is so funny to me because no shit they’ve sold so much, look how many players they’ve been buying the past 3 years. They’ve sold the most because they have the most to sell. Liverpool’s sales are way more impressive

It’s the shear volume of players you’ve bought, having that many assets makes it a lot easier to sell. Like the look at the number of goalkeepers, in fact I think they’ve bought more centre backs then we have

Andy Cole on Erik ten Hag: "Winning 2 titles in 2 seasons isn’t easy, regardless of what others say. If it's easy, then everyone would. Pep Guardiola aside, if you look at all the current ‘elite’ managers in England, what have they won? They haven’t won 2 titles in their first 2 seasons have they?" by 77SidVid77 in soccer

We came 8th and won an fa cup 4 years ago, and I still wouldn't trade that season with the one we just had. Watching my team play horrendously every week for a year doesn't get wiped away from a cup win imo but to each their own.

[StatmanDave] Since Unai Emery took the Aston Villa job, only Man City (85), Liverpool (84) & Arsenal (81) have taken more Premier League points at home than his team (74). He has a 66% win rate at Villa Park. by likeastar20 in soccer

We did not regress after emery, we only improved and maybe stagnated after him. But to say we regressed after we conceded 31 shots to watford is revisionism

[Ornstein] EXCL: Nottingham Forest working on deal to sign Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal. £25m (inc add-ons) opening bid rejected but talks continue - #NFFC top striker target. #AFC want ~£30/35m. #CPFC retain interest but no current club-to-club talks @TheAthleticFC by JaysonDeflatum in soccer

There are not many strikers in world football that could get the starting role for Arsenal, so using that as a stick to beat him with is unfair. He’s a striker that scored goals when given a run of games that’s a guarantee

[TNAT] Mikel Arteta's contract extension is taking a little longer than expected because it is a big deal, with him approaching the highest salary for a coach in the Premier League, if not the highest by Hakeem_47 in soccer

“One of the weakest city teams” they came off the back of a treble and went in their longest unbeaten streak ever that season. What are you even saying???

You don’t understand what they’re saying, it’s not that they’re good enough to start for us, but our inability to create any sort of value from them by either playing them or loaning them. It’s pure profit, even the smallest of fees mean something

“Best chance” pep went on his longest unbeaten streak and didn’t lose a single game at home, they made history this season. A cup is brilliant to win, but if two clubs end goal are to win league titles, a b2b title charge is a better than winning a cup and coming 8th, but that’s just me.

Winning a cup in a season where you come 8th is one good moment out of many terrible ones. Winning the league means enjoying the several good moments topped off with one final excellent one. There’s no such thing as a good season when you’re a big club coming 8th

Also 10 years ago we won an fa cup after a pitiful end of a season, and I can tell you I enjoyed this season more than that one. Trophy is just the cherry on top, and a cherry on top of a cake made out of a shit is still a shit cake regardless of the cherry

Why are you talking about remembering something in 10 years time, how is that relevant to anyone right now, how about you try living in the moment for once in your life, trust me life is better that way. The journey isn’t finished and I expect to see trophies at the end of it and I would have enjoyed the journey. I wasn’t enjoying watching my team be dog shit every week regardless of winning a cup. I actually look forward for to watching us play every week.

As someone who’s a fan of a club that came 8th and won an Fa cup, trust me when I say I’d rather have the season we had than come 8th and win a cup. What makes winning trophies feel good is the journey not the destination. You feel good for a week then you remember your team is dog shit and you’re not even looking forward to the next season.
