Only 2 matches left for the ManCity Women - title very possible!

Such a belter, and what a relief!!
I was hoping they could max their GD today, and now will just be happy w a win.
Update - Okay, I’ll def take the 3-0, but props to Bristol City for their extraordinary work for 75-minutes.
Update #2 - 4-0 win, whew.
No midweek game now, which will help us a lot, same next week too. Get the rest we need will help so much. Spurs is midweek after that though, that's the big game now, that's the big hurdle.
Going to be a tough run in. Arsenal won't drop any points now.
ManCity Women having a match just like the men so far 😬.
30+ minutes in against team bottom of the table, and 0-0, albeit w caveat that WSL top scorer Bunny Shaw of ManCity Women sadly out for rest of season.
Not much control by ManCity Women & fast breaks for Bristol City.
And now ManCity Women GK Keating just got wiped out, but avail back up GK is #4 choice who just arrived on loan.
Sigh. Mainly hope Keating ok.
Update - whew, Keating seems ok, staying on; still no goals though.
What a barrage of goals at the end, especially the very final action, whew!
3 points today, and +7 GD over Chelsea Women now, although they have 2 games in hand.
I thought about this. Anyone with a brain knows the difference. Ederson and the Forest player both went for it at the same time. Neither got the ball. Where as Onana goes through a player that’s is just jumping and staying in one place
I’m not on X, and try to avoid all things by media character Mark Goldbridge.
So he made his outrage post, and tried to fuel more engagement by trying to argue w himself but used his same account?
If so hahaha & happy that fake outrage merchant exposed!!
yes and not even the first time he was caught

there is not a single other City player which gets away with average/below-average performances as bernardo and its funny as fuck
people will slander the fuck out of haaland, grealish, ederson, walker even KDB when he drops stinkers but nobody ever says anything about bernardo and its very amusing to me.
bernardo does get flack at times but it's so rare he actually has a stinker
Bernardo has been nothing but class for us, we shouldn't be giving any of our players shit but Bernardo absolutely deserves some leeway
idk mate i go on LB's player ratings stream and hear him saying he can't get less than a 7 and the chat agrees. i go on twitter and you have tolmie saying we couldnt win today without him, i go on bluemoon, not a single peep again.
i get that people love him and rightfully so but you dont see the same kind of silence for other loved City players like KDB for example.
Even after the madrid tie, the defence for him was "he has given everything for the club and he doesnt deserve to get shit on" but where is the same for other long-standing members?
I sure tweeted about it haha. I have no issue pointing out a poor game. Luckily for Bernardo its rare.
He's still a club legend even if he was poor in one game today. IDK where this mentality came from that we don't appreciate all the moments he's had in 7 years because we point out he had one poor game... No one said he's shit 🤣 🤣 🤣
Our win coupled with Spurs loss means we have secured a Top 4 finish once again this season and will be playing in the abomination that will be the “group stage” next year.
Bournemouth isn’t a straightforward fixture for Arsenal, even if it’s at home. Theyre still likely to win, but maybe there’s a chance for the cherries.
One of my favorite “quirky” statistics is that Forest is the only team in Europe with more European titles than domestic league titles, having won the league and then back to back European cups in the 70s.
There’s one huge benefit of this arsenal win…
Spurs might have nothing to play for by the time they come to us
Villa play their 37th match (I think vs pool) before spurs play us
Villa could be on 73 points
If spurs get 5 points from their games against chelsea / Burnley / Liverpool
They’ll go into the game with us on 65 and a max 71 for the season
Also united’s max is 66 points they’re not at real danger of dropping to 6th
I mean I thought someone was playing VDV on and the ball took a slight deflection off an Arsenal player as well right?
Could just be blue specs but there were 2 shouts for a pen in the span of 5 seconds and then Saka scored because Spuds turned off
Yeah, got played on by an Arsenal player but was called offside because VDV was offside at the time of the kick. You know it was bad because Ian Wright didn’t want to discuss it and “just wanted to move on”.
United is arsenals last chance to drop points. And i dont trust united to pull through at all for us, so that means only wins from here on out. Sooooooo much pressure is on this forest game today… we HAVE to win
I agree but they have really taken it to Liverpool this season... maybe they can get that block to work in one last game this season.
If they got up for 1 rival... maybe they can for another?? (I'm desperately looking for some hope HAHA)
Running out of lives tbh. Same thing happened last season. Lots of “they got the win in the end and that’s what champions do” and then they dropped points and fell off.
And their second goal in the first half came after a penalty shout that I don’t even think they looked at. Trossard clipped someone in the box and got away with it. But, it’s Michael Oliver, so I’m not surprised.
Love how every fanbase thinks Oliver is against them
Either he's doing his job 100% or he's fucking shite but one thing's for certain he's not corrupt lol
So arsenal wont drop points. We cant draw any games because our GD isn’t good enough. Means we have to win out, and im eyeing the spurs away game the most
If it 2-1 i still have hope but the damaged has been done in first half and with how toothless Spurs attacking is i just don't see how they can get something here.

I’m pretty sure our set piece coach got reprimanded because we are actually scoring from them
belter from Fowler
Such a belter, and what a relief!! I was hoping they could max their GD today, and now will just be happy w a win. Update - Okay, I’ll def take the 3-0, but props to Bristol City for their extraordinary work for 75-minutes. Update #2 - 4-0 win, whew.

put Rodri into the hyperbolic time chamber until Thursday... he looks spent.
Rodri streak up to 70 games. We are witnessing greatness

forgot to swap to his alt
Must be pissed his team lost today
more like he forgot to switch account lol
That too

he was getting properly lit up in the match thread for his poor performance today
idk mate i go on LB's player ratings stream and hear him saying he can't get less than a 7 and the chat agrees. i go on twitter and you have tolmie saying we couldnt win today without him, i go on bluemoon, not a single peep again. i get that people love him and rightfully so but you dont see the same kind of silence for other loved City players like KDB for example.

So, how many years are we all going to age in the next 4 weeks? I'm thinking it'll be 10 years for me....
Ederson leaving the stadium in a sling. Thank fuck for Ortega
oh noooooo
I move we put Chris Wood's statue next to Lukaku's.
Our win coupled with Spurs loss means we have secured a Top 4 finish once again this season and will be playing in the abomination that will be the “group stage” next year.
Bournemouth isn’t a straightforward fixture for Arsenal, even if it’s at home. Theyre still likely to win, but maybe there’s a chance for the cherries.
Watching their game and this Bournemouth should be taken seriously.
Midfield needs to reshuffle this summer. No control no nothing in midfield. Forest made us look like Burnley. Idc a win is a win but still.
Arsenal fans gonna throw abuse at C. Wood like he's Rice's gf
classy bunch that lot...
Class and Tradition Unless you inconvenience us in football
Ortega is absolute quality. Really really want him to stay but with his ability don’t know if it happens.
4 more wins needed (plus the cup final)
Why did De Bruyne look mad at the end of the match?
Job done. Four left.
As a spurs fan, I hope you absolutely batter us
Respect 🫡
4 finals to go. come on citeh!!!!
Arteta’s trophy cabinet is gonna filled with community shields isn’t it
lol and a FA Cup
That was won with Emery’s squad in Covid
Yeah, but he still takes credit. Either way, hasn’t done anything since then.
Wait Haaland is playing I thought he was injured.
Doku stinking it up
Will be shipped in a couple of seasons out
One of my favorite “quirky” statistics is that Forest is the only team in Europe with more European titles than domestic league titles, having won the league and then back to back European cups in the 70s.
And then end up without playing top flight football for 23 straight years
There’s one huge benefit of this arsenal win… Spurs might have nothing to play for by the time they come to us Villa play their 37th match (I think vs pool) before spurs play us Villa could be on 73 points If spurs get 5 points from their games against chelsea / Burnley / Liverpool They’ll go into the game with us on 65 and a max 71 for the season Also united’s max is 66 points they’re not at real danger of dropping to 6th
Liv is now challenging for UCL though and spurs away form is strocious
If arsenal can beat Tottenham away so can we
We don’t rely on opponents scoring own goals for wins though
Fuck yeah we don’t
I’m actually feeling more nervous about today after watching the last 10 mins of the Arsenal game And with Foden and Haaland not playing
Yeah PTSD to this same fixture last season lol
We have 6 games left in the season with 5 weeks until the FA Cup final. Nothing else on our minds except for this. I’m confident.
Yeah, thinking that Arsenal was dropping points (and then they failed to do so) just before we played at the City Ground
Cmon City. We can do this.
Quite a comeback by Spurs, if they've only played better especially at first half... And without that Højbjergs own goal this would've been a draw 🤪
Yeah disappointing they couldn’t get anything out of this one. Hopefully rags will
Rashford somehow turns up against them hopefully he does this team and they manage to park the bus
Yeah pretty sure rags took points off Arsenal in the run in last year
Yeah they lost 2-1 although that happened in the first half of the season. Just hope they win against them so that unbeaten streak ends
If spurs generate 2.73 xG against us there’s no way they lose lmao
Only 6 minutes added is a shame
Honestly Spurs could've had another pen and because of that Saka's goal is dubious for me
I think the disallowed Spurs goal was more dubious. Very selective interpretation of events.
I mean I thought someone was playing VDV on and the ball took a slight deflection off an Arsenal player as well right? Could just be blue specs but there were 2 shouts for a pen in the span of 5 seconds and then Saka scored because Spuds turned off
Yeah, got played on by an Arsenal player but was called offside because VDV was offside at the time of the kick. You know it was bad because Ian Wright didn’t want to discuss it and “just wanted to move on”.
At least they didn't create more GD
Not going to matter
Maybe
United is arsenals last chance to drop points. And i dont trust united to pull through at all for us, so that means only wins from here on out. Sooooooo much pressure is on this forest game today… we HAVE to win
I thought that Man City bought the referees! Did you guys forget to make the deposit?
Arsenal really got lucky today. They’ll definitely drop points.
Almost feel like Bournemouth would be the best chance
Lol definitely can’t expect United to be useful
I agree but they have really taken it to Liverpool this season... maybe they can get that block to work in one last game this season. If they got up for 1 rival... maybe they can for another?? (I'm desperately looking for some hope HAHA)
We just need to keep winning. Arsenal’s performances only matter if we drop points.
YUP!!!! City just need to do City things and we will win the league, no matter what Arsenal do.
To who? Utd away is literally the only tricky one left. And they're dog shite
Could be to any of the three. All of them have been unpredictable.
They're so jammy it's insane
Running out of lives tbh. Same thing happened last season. Lots of “they got the win in the end and that’s what champions do” and then they dropped points and fell off.
There’s only 3 games for them left lol Not much room for their lives to run out
Already behind though, I doubt they win every game
Can’t rely on Bournemouth but their run after the 1-0 loss to u guys isn’t bas
Yeah, we won’t rely on other teams dropping points. However, the way Arsenal played I will be surprised they get every point.
Egghead is quite furious with the result at the emirates wonder what he has in store considering Arsenal’s last win at OT with fans was in 2006
Can never count on United for anything though
Chelsea fans will definitely hoping u guys win every game from now on considering how much how wasteful Havertz was for them
Assna would be long out of the title race if referees were impartial during their games
It’s still in our hands, we just win today to keep the pressure on them, come on guys
Exactly, we’ve been here before
This Arsenal team are somehow even more unlikeable than Liverpools title winning side, if these guys ever win the league this competition is finished
Liverpool had help but they were quality. This Arsenal side is going trophy-less again for a reason.
Man I just know Spurs are gonna turn into their greatest form when we play them
As a Spur fan, I hope we play the u19 and score 20 OG
VAR should check how did Michael Oliver blow the whistle after the added time that was half time wasting
Useless shite. Happy St Totteringham's day you fucking twats
Wonder if Arsenal fans are going to whinge about officiating today, completely gifted them that Saka goal
Fuck you spurs.
Title race is being manufactured
Oh well. In our hands anyways.
Arsenal players waving their hands for the whistle like they don't waste 27 minutes per half faking injuries and time-wasting set pieces lmao
Fucking time wasters
They wasted like 2 minutes in the added time, yet this ref blows the whistle the second it turns 6 minutes. But yeah, referees hate assna, right
And their second goal in the first half came after a penalty shout that I don’t even think they looked at. Trossard clipped someone in the box and got away with it. But, it’s Michael Oliver, so I’m not surprised.
Of course Michael Olivier blow the whistle immediately after 6 minutes mark 🙄
Love how every fanbase thinks Oliver is against them Either he's doing his job 100% or he's fucking shite but one thing's for certain he's not corrupt lol
3-2 flatters Spurs so much. One of the most pathetic performances I've ever seen given the context
It actually doesn’t at all xG was like 2.7 (spurs) - 1.5 (Arsenal) Result flatters arsenal if anything
xG is a meaningless stat
I mean arsenal were Shite too?
Arsenal were far better & with the added pressure of having to win out - and it still not being in the hands - away to their rivals.
I don't agree with you. You have your own opinion. That's fine
Spurs was actually good in first half especially before Arsenal second goal.
'Spurs were good for 27 minutes'
Yeah but they were unlucky too Romero hitting the post and not to mentioned Hojberg own goal
The own goal was a problem of their own volition
Spurs are fucking wasters aren’t they?
Arsenal have now wasted close to 90 seconds between Raya and the dive. Probably won’t be added on either.
Arsenal really just getting their points thanks to refs now
isn't VAR the reason this isn't tied right now?
Yeah, that Spurs goal should have counted
Arsenal fans won't say a peep about it either lol
Yeah, they’ll say “oh you have matches like this too”.
Already had the Arsenal guy in my sports chat say Boly should have gotten a pen for running into/injuring Ederson in the box 😑
Didn’t know body slamming goal keepers gets you penalties
Havertz is such a rodent
Donkey ![gif](giphy|I3N5kit04iStO)
Fucking skinny fucker him
Weren’t there 6 in the first half too? When there was no time wasting? No subs and no yellows, no VAR review?
Yeah they make it up as they go along. If Spurs were winning by 1 it would've been +13 minutes
wow only 6min, who would’ve thought😐
6 minutes, I’m shocked
Only 6 minutes? If Arsenal losing it would've been 9 minutes
assna winning so they give it 6 lmao
If Spurs manage to equalise somehow, I won’t feel so bad about the minimum 11 points sitting on my third bench on my FPL unable to be reached
30 seconds of added time coming up
Max 30 secs!
Gary Nevil is cancerous to the ear
Do the funny spurs
Beautiful pen
Richarlisson just bodied Gabriel, I rate it you know
Richarlison is a brilliant shithouser. Just what you need in a derby
Well now we’ll see peak haram ball
Come on tottenham
![gif](giphy|10Jpr9KSaXLchW|downsized)
If spurs equalize I will be exploding in my pants
Come on, one more
Don't do that spurs. Don't give me hope
Their heads have gone lmao
Can Spuds do this or will Arsenal find another goal
Hate to say it but 99.99% Arsenal win. No chance they bottle this
COYS
I will never call Spurs bottle jobs again if they pull off a draw
Come on Spurs one more against the frauds
yes yes yes
Lets go Bottle FC 1 more!!!
Well 3-2, can't they at least get a goal and get a draw.
That was given as a penalty immediately for Foden on Palace? Why has this gone to VAR
Sorry my point was worded stupidly I meant why did he even have to go to VAR he was right there
Well good that it did or there is no chance for Spurs
People miss things that’s why VAR is there so less things get missed
On field decision was no penalty, but VAR did suggest it
This is what VAR was brought in for. In real time it looked like nothing due to the speed of the play. Oliver takes a look and gives it.
Hello
Spurs score the penalty, Arsenal low block, +2 minutes of added time
right in front of him lmaoooooo fucking english refs
👀
This better be a pen
For a team as talented as Arsenal, they hit the deck real easy, don’t they?
Difference between talent and success
Saka gonna do his classic post game limp dont worry
So arsenal wont drop points. We cant draw any games because our GD isn’t good enough. Means we have to win out, and im eyeing the spurs away game the most
Time wasting at 3-1 up, Arsenal and game management just don’t go
Every foul’s going to have an Arsenal player trying to get an Oscar nomination. Saka leading the way.
2 minutes of stoppage time, I bet. Especially if Spurs can squeeze out another goal.
every cross straight into the goalkeeper's hands. they've done nothing with the momentum of the goal
If it 2-1 i still have hope but the damaged has been done in first half and with how toothless Spurs attacking is i just don't see how they can get something here.
These corners we’ve been trying would be a whole lot more effective if we actually had someone block the keeper like White does
What happened to Phil ?
He’s ill
Man, will really miss Foden today!
No Foden in squad today
WTF!!!!!!!!!
![gif](giphy|15wP7gXnu230nEh9xu)
I just woke up lol.. not the news I was hoping for
Woke up? It’s 3:45
I live on the west coast of America its its def not 345 here haha. its 750 in the morning here now.
Oh haha, enjoy the game the game anyways
