EPL Matchday 36

[Sozabarus]

Good to see Pool fans straight on the defensive. They’ve had an incredible season and it has been 30 years so you’d probably take any title regardless of how it came.

But I know if that was Chelsea I’d be disappointed we didn’t take everyone to the cleaners. The professionalism dropped off after they won the title and would probably have achieved more if there was someone right on their tail. A title in front of no one, bundled out in the CL, missing out on the invincible tag and now the points record. All of which were big possibilities (if not guaranteed) not so long ago. After the start they had and how good they were looking it feels like a bit of a waste. Could wipe that away pretty quickly by doing it all again next year though.

I haven’t watched a game since we won the title. I have mentally checked out so I can’t really get upset if the players have as well.

There has to be some level of discipline though and I can’t say I ever felt like Liverpool would score after we went in front

Liverpool had all the possession in the second half and a few good chances but Arsenal defended well. The Arsenal tactics looked more like a mid to lower EPL team trying to sneak a draw rather than a top 4 challenger.

 

[hawkman]

Amazing that any team was able to out calamity the Arsenal defenders let alone Liverpool

 

[glenferry23]

That’s because Arsenal is currently a mid table PL club, not a top 4 challenger.

Well we've still eclipsed anything United have put together in a single campaign.

Eh, pretty happy with our 13 PL titles to your 1.

I’ll take our treble and doubles thank you very much.

No you haven't, as great as this team is it'll only win one trophy this campaign. Lots of clubs have bettered that.

That’s like United supporters saying that we won the quadruple in the 2008-09 season. We wouldn’t say that because we are not Barcelona.

 

[Loonerty]

centurions isnt for everyone i guess

Could see 2 treble winners in 1 season with City needing just 1 more trophy. I doubt that would have happened too often

 

[charcoalchicken]

var has been wildly inconsistent this season and unfortunately arsenal have worn the brunt of it with one or two other clubs

And it takes a lot of effort to continually defend all game. It’s arguably harder physically to do. Shearer, McManaman and even Allison said Arsenal deserved the points. Sometimes you got to win games in unattractive ways and means. It doesn’t mean you don’t deserve the win.

Obviously some trophies are worth more than others. I’d argue being champions of the world for the first time in our history is worth more to me than a potential 9th carabao cup for example, (before anyone asks why I even have to choose between the 2, it’s because of poor scheduling forcing us to effectively be kicked out of one of the comps) and the former was a very rare opportunity that we couldn’t pass up.

CWC is nothing to sneeze out and nor should it be glazed over IMO.

Each to their own but its like the Super Cup or Community Shield from mine.

I doubt Pool fans are going to claim they won a double or treble this season.

Sort of agree but any European club that enters it should win it. The fact the Super Cup is part of the 3 deserves to be sneezed at though

 

[Magma]

cwc is less competitive than the community shield as the best teams in south america barely hold a candle to the top european teams

The Super Cup definitely holds less prestige.

Nice to win as it's a trophy, but I'd say it's not something that will be brought up in 20 years etc

 

[Sozabarus]

If we're being brutally honest the only two that count to big clubs these days are the league and champions league. We're at the stage now where even the FA Cup has lost all prestige. When Arsenal were winning it every year they still were hounding Wenger out, which they wouldn't have been doing if they were winning the league or champions league that regularly.

Winning the league and champions league in the same season is a true sign of greatness but winning them both over two seasons is more than fine with me.
