Manchester City are now the 3rd most successful club in England. 👀🏆
@BizitoB@UTDAlex8 You're celebrating United's downfall more than Arsenal's. United are playing a game a week - just the league, knocked out of all cups and you're here celebrating your city rivals. I'd bet you would bend over backwards to celebrate their finishing above you.
🚨Sir Alex Ferguson on Manchester United fans supporting Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final:
“Hearing that some United fans supported City… I’m very disappointed. That’s not what this club is about.”
@IlloniM@Esau_Matsiko You tell us genius ...here..read up son ...Manchester United have finished as runners-up 5 times 1994/95, 1997/98, 2005/06, 2009/10, and 2011/12 seasons. They hold the record for the most second-place finishes in the Premier League era, tied with Arsenal.
@Esau_Matsiko A club that’s won more trophies than you the last few years is finished? Hell Palace have won more than you your last few years. Your mother regrets everyday not aborting you and your dad wishes he wiped you on the curtain
@Esau_Matsiko@thebardogbamola Your club still has a long way to go. If you start trekking now, you will likely get to Jupiter by the year 5026 until then your journey still far....
@OptaJoe 90 minutes of football scheduled inside a 60-minute game...wild stat... At this point we need a new stat:

@Bidleb1@SkySportsNews Also you are the bottlers.. from 6 points behind Arsenal on December 1st to 19 now. You've dropped out of the top 4, players are indisciplined and can't hold themselves back, the club has been charged twice for failing to control your players. Closer to West ham at the bottom
"Arsenal used to be too innocent, they know about gamesmanship now" 👀
Alan Smith expects Arsenal and Manchester City to both win in midweek and believes that Mikel Arteta's side shouldn't be affected by Fabian Hürzeler calling for his Brighton team to 'play more dirty' 💬
@Bidleb1@SkySportsNews I have more from Chelsea players..caicedo falling himself after fouling zubimendi and Sarr stepping on Raya's foot and holding him back at the corner. Your team has the red cards not us.
It’s shaping up to be a disaster for my FPL team…
1. Rayan blank
2. Tavernier Ass
3. Kelleher not in the squad (Dubravka sub)
4. Dango Ass
Only a Cunha masterclass can save me
Roberto Martinez speaking on Gyokeres.
Gyokeres is highly rated in the professional coaching community, managers like Arteta and Martinez rate him highly, but you’d rather listen to certain twitter accounts who are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things
