Probably the least dramatic final day I can remember. Maybe that’s why all eyes were on Anfield for Klopp’s farewell? Sky put most of their energy into that anyway, there’s even an hour and twenty minutes of their coverage on YouTube. It had 70% more viewers than City’s title celebrations but that isn’t surprising at all.
For one thing, we’ve got way more fans than them, but also there will have been far more neutrals tuning into what was happening at Anfield rather than the lame, hard arsed celebrations going on at City. No-one cares about them, they’re just not on people’s radar unless you’re going head to head with them. They’re seen as a necessarily evil by fans of teams who don’t want to see their rivals winning titles, and everyone else just doesn’t care about them.
They’re inevitable though. Everybody knew they’d beat West Ham on the final day. There was never any possibility that they wouldn’t, and that’s how they’ve ruined football. I remember when United lost the league on the final day because they got beat by West Ham. That’s how football was then, things like that could happen. Not anymore.
Now it’s dull as fuck because of what City have done to the league. Now you draw a game in September and your first thought is “oh that might cost us the title” and it’s not an irrational reaction either. Twice for us it has, and now it’s happened to Arsenal too. If they’d turned one draw into a win they’d be Champions. Back when United were winning it every year they could lose six games and not even have to worry about it.
City’s cheating has distorted everything but not enough people are angry about it because they have no actual rivals other than Stockport fucking County. Even United don’t hate them because they’re the necessary evil that has denied us three titles. Everton and Spurs buzz off them too. The TV companies must be sick of them because they’re not good for ratings. Imagine the excitement last weekend if it had been us and Arsenal going for it? Or United, or someone completely out of the ordinary like Villa or Newcastle. Totally different, there’d be so much more juice to it. There’s no juice to anything City do.
Technically the title went to the last day but not really. These dull cunts snuffed out any possible hint of it being interesting by racing into a 2-0 lead against West Ham thanks to a Foden double. His first goal came inside two minutes, the robotic cunts just suck all the fun and drama out of everything don’t they? At least it put Arsenal fans out of their misery quickly and spared them the nightmare we endured a couple of years back.
Kudus did pull one back with a brilliant overhead kick but Rodri restored City’s cushion and they just strangled the game after that. They’re such try hard cunts though aren’t they? So desperate to show that they’re relevant and passionate. There was a pitch invasion at the final whistle and even that looked staged. When has that ever happened before? I wonder how much the owners paid them for that? Because I tell you one thing, it was planned. You can see loads of them waiting pitch side while the stewards are doing nothing. They make me cringe.
Haaland is one big fucking dopey wanker too. Talking about what a great achievement it is and how people “don’t understand”. No you big fucking cave troll looking cunt, everyone understands, they just don’t care because the whole world knows City cheated to get where they are and are still cheating now. He knows that more than anybody, with only a third of his 900k a week salary being paid by the club he plays for. The charges might only go up to 2018, but the cheating has never stopped and it’s still happening now. And everyone knows it.
Arsenal did their job by getting the win but it was all moot in the end. They almost didn’t win and needed a last minute goal from Havertz to see off Everton, who had briefly led through Gueye’s deflected free-kick. I can give Arsenal a bit of a pass for their uninspired performance as they’ll have known what was happening at the Etihad and it will have been deflating.
I’ve covered all of this a lot recently as the season has drawn to a close, so I won’t be going over all the Arsenal stuff again other than to say for the second year in a row they’re the legitimate Champions and hopefully one day those titles will find their way to their rightful home.
One thing I do need to address about Arsenal though is that they had a title lift rehearsal on the pitch the day before. I don’t know if this is normal and whether we did it when we were in that situation, but it just really stinks of Arsenal doesn’t it? Even if we did it, we’d have kept it well under wraps. Arsenal letting that get out there into the world is just embarrassing.
No doubt they’ll have had t-shirts printed with “2023/24 Premier League Champions” on them, which is fine. I’m sure we did that too as you need to be prepared just in case. I expect ours will have been burned on the final whistle, never to see the light of day, but would anyone be shocked to see random “Gooners” wearing them in TikTok videos over the summer?
In fairness I hope they do. Arsenal declaring themselves as the legitimate Champions would be fucking ace and I’d back them all the way on that.
