I'm not here to gloat (much) because despite a VERY important win for us today, we're still in transition and far from the finished article. I'm not getting carried away.
But after 11 games, you've already lost 4 in the league and are now below United, even though you whacked us in the derby and we've been rather poor most of the season so far.
The general consensus is that City are playing good football and United aren't........and yet we've had a tougher set of fixtures and are still above you tonight. And you spent 3 times what we did in summer.
4 defeats in the league already and 1 in the champions league too.
Is it good enough?
Are you not a little concerned?

This is why I can't accept that PL football is better now than during the Fergie v Wenger days.
This current Arsenal team wouldn't beat the one that had Pires, Bergkamp, Henry, Vieira etc. Now that was a proper team and had everything.

Of course you thought it was better when United were serious contenders.

Now be fair Boris...I have been very complimentary of City over the years. Well for the on the field stuff anyway if not the other side of the club.
Even you must agree that Wenger's greatest Arsenal teams would wallop this Arteta one. Henry, Vieira, Bergkamp, Pires, Lljunberg would tear this team a new one.
And that team didn't even win that much because we were always a tad bit better than them.

Definately agree about Wenger's Arsenal, little is made about how much Aeteta has spent either.

Granted they didn't get over the line but they pushed you close twice hence my point.
The best City team of the last few years would definitely be a great match for the best Fergie teams no doubt. Don't think there would have been much in those games.

There would just because of how football tactics have changed, it’s not worth comparing teams from different eras aside from how dominant they were at the time against their peers.
On that basis, they’re very similar.

Just hope Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City, Nottingham Forest and all the teams above Man Utd capitulate lol. Now 75 points when SAF won a title by 7 points would be great.😂 I think we could get to 75 points max.

So that means we can only drop 13 points in 22 league games lol. If all else fails I rather Chelsea win it than Liverpool lol. Imagine Carragher and Nevilles faces if Chelsea won it.

Scary thing is that Fernandes miss wasn’t even in our top 20 misses this season.
