Tottenham couldn’t make the day for Arsenal fans today and the lots of others who wouldn’t like to see Manchester City lift the premier league trophy. Of course I wouldn’t want to see them win since, it doesn’t mean much to them I think but, it would mean a whole lot for Arsenal. However, it’s not for Arsenal to decide now anyway.
Tottenham didn’t play any badly today, they just had unconverted chances and that last penalty offense on Doku sealed their fate tonight.

Arsenal fans still have one final match to look forward to. The final series of matches promises to be extremely attractive as Arsenal still has a small chance to win the championship. It would be better if Tottenham could hold off Mancity, but Tottenham have already done their best, because they also want to win to continue the race for the top 4 with Aston Villa. 5th place has been decided for Tottenham.

The pressure on both Mancity and Arsenal in the final match is not small. For Mancity, if they lose against Westham, they will probably regret it. The pressure of having to enter such matches will not be simple at all. I think Mancity's pressure will be greater than Arsenal's in this final match when Arsenal has almost nothing to lose.

Totenham fans did the right thing by telling Ange to throw away the game against Manchester City since they know that how small totenham's cahnce from winning against city. Ange was also upset with the Tottenham fans but I agree with them because they knew their club would lose to Manchester City and the result if city was winning the game against totenham.
It is only a matter of time before Manchester City wins the trophy this season after defeating West Ham United in the last match of EPL this season caused by this is gonna be the final match for manchester city to secure PL trophy this season. Weshham is not in a good shape this time. It is impossible for Manchester City to lose to West Ham United while still performing poorly.

It would be better if Tottenham could hold off Mancity, but Tottenham have already done their best, because they also want to win to continue the race for the top 4 with Aston Villa. 5th place has been decided for Tottenham.

45 minutes of the first half while the match is still 0-0, pressure is very felt for the Manchester City camp and for Arsenal fans have felt a happy aura even though they also realize that Manchester City is not a weak team that easily gives up when the target has not been fulfilled.
Teams like Tottenham there are no players who act as targets lag to get the target. Liverpool, Manchester United also does not have these players making it difficult. Unlike Manchester City which has Haaland.

The pressure of having to enter such matches will not be simple at all. I think Mancity's pressure will be greater than Arsenal's in this final match when Arsenal has almost nothing to lose.

Arsenal can be a team that will lift the Premier League Trophy if in the last match of Manchester City drew and Arsenal managed to win.
Manchester City level when facing Tottenham not in public itself can win 0-2, imagine if in the match against West Ham United, Manchester City will appear in front of the Etihad public.
I think pressure will not occur in Manchester City, but instead the pressure will occur in Arsenal.

The second half of the Tottenham vs City game will soon be underway. I still believe that City will win the game so I've taken a ML bet for City here at BcGame. Odds have been bumped from 1.45 to 1.60, it might go higher but I'm not going to take the chances as I expect City to win this game. Tottenham has been solid in the first half but their inability to cover the right side of their defense might just give City the breakthrough they want.

This match is one that was easy to predict, I believe alot of people already knew that Manchester city would win the game; including myself, I also place a bet on Manchester city to win the match right before the game started, I am very happy with the win, though in the first half, it looked like the game was going to end in a goaless draw, but unfortunately, as good as Tottenham played their game, they still weren't strong enough to hold Manchester city back in the second half.

I am happy with the little money I made from this game, though I still feel bad for Arsenal, I really hoped and expected that Arsenal win the premier league title this season, they really worked hard, but unfortunately, looks like Manchester city is taking it again..

Before the game started, I was quite sure if Manchester city would win the game, maybe some of us thought that tottenham would be able to make it difficult for Manchester City, especially in the first half when tottenham could end the game with a score of 0-0 of course it started to raise hopes for Arsenal and also their fans, but I think it was deliberately done by tottenham in order to destroy and thwart Arsenal to become champions the Premier League this season, it seems that Tottenham did think if it would hurt Arsenal more when they began to hope and were finally crushed by Tottenham in the game, it does look if Tottenham can make Manchester City depressed, but if tottenham play in different conditions and not benefit Arsenal current situation, of course I am quite sure if Tottenham can get at least 1 point in the game.

Arsenal demise I think started when they dropped points to Fulham and Aston Villa and now even though there is still one game left of course it is difficult to see Arsenal can winner this season, Arsenal this season is too dependent on their fate to other teams so it is inevitable if the disappointment they finally get will be like what happened in yesterday match between Tottenham and Manchester City,  Right now West Ham is Arsenal last hope of thwarting Manchester City championship and I think Arsenal fans should be prepared again to be disappointed to accept the fact Arsenal failed to winner this season.

It's hard to rule out chances of a west ham victory over Man City but considering their winning streak and home ground advantage it would be highly unlikely. Even in a case of draw, Arsenal would win the title if they get a win on their last match.

Well, that is the nature of football, the sought out for result could come from the unexpected teams and West Ham United could be that team if underestimated but, it’s had to see any ch aces for them in this one, given the fact that, Manchester City seems to be in top form, would be playing from a home side and it would be the game that crowns them champions. I can’t imagine them not winning, being in this position.

West Ham United have got some good players for sure, Bowen, Paqueta and Kudus. These guys are good and fast too but, not enough for Manchester City. I wouldn’t take a bet on it but, I really wish West Ham United could win.

This West Ham United is not a good one for now, don't forget they even want to see David Moyes leave after this gamez I'm not sure he will try to prove stubborn during this game. Also they will be playing this game at Etihad and we all know how tough it can be there. What will benefit gunner's would be for them to win against Everton while they hope on  West Ham United to draw Manchester City.

Is it only about Kudus, Lucas Paqueta and.  Bowen? Add Thomas Soucek and Kurt Zouma and they will still not so too much.

I'm done making predictions amd having high hopes, all I wanted was for just another club to get the Premier League and Arsenal has come twice only to end this way?
Everton also could be difficult for. Arsenal. They're doing pretty well you see.

[emrecemsan]

Why am I not surprised...    I had little hopes from Tottenham and those ones were also broken after conceding the 1st goal. However there was a breaking point for Tottenham as well. Son wasted a huge goal chance on a one-on-one with Ortega. If that one ended up with a goal maybe we were going to be talking about how close Arsenal were to the title.

From now on, I don't give Arsenal any chance. Because it is just too difficult to expect West Ham to tackle Manchester City. They don't even have a target left to achieve now. What a pity for Arsenal!

as we have discussed together here, whatever Arsenal will do, in the end Man City will be at the top of the standings at the end of this season and this can all be clearly seen from the remaining matches. Man City has more matches than Arsenal and the point difference is also very clear very slim and means Man City will get the EPL title guarantee.
West Ham is not a strong opponent for Man City and competing at home gives Guardiola team more freedom to lock in the EPL title this season.

well, now everything I've said here is proven if the reason I don't really like Arsenal is because this team always loses consistency and will start to be consistent again when the end of the season approaches.
just look at how the performance at the start of the season looked good and after that losing consistency looked very bad after that increasing consistency again but everything was in vain because Arsenal wasted too many points.
If Arsenal wants to get the EPL title it is quite easy to try to maintain consistency and it all depends on the coach himself.

The result from villa vs liverpool gonna be determine totenham's chance to qualify for the UCL next season. I meant that if totenham is counting on liverpool to beat villa but im not really sure totenham can get three points from manchester city.
There will be another scenario to happen in the upcoming match day. As long as city will able to beat totenham and it confirms that if aston villa has secured UCL spot. It's very crucial for aston villa to wait for the result from city vs totenham.

Im hoping totenham to do another shit in the upcoming game. This is really helpful for aston villa in order to place their name as one of UCL candidate from EPL next season.

The defeat suffered by Tottenham when they hosted Manchester City at their home ground gave Aston Villa an advantage. Tottenham's failure to add points at their home ground meant that Aston Villa automatically finished in the top four without having to play their last match. Aston Villa's success in qualifying for the Champions League next season cannot be separated from the big contribution of its coach (Unai Emery). He replaced Steven Gerrard in October 2022 and succeeded in improving Aston Villa level, which was previously almost relegated. The presence of Aston Villa in the top four positions makes competition in the Champions League zone even more competitive. Tottenham, Newcastle, Chelsea and Manchester United must be able to improve their level next season to provide competition for elite positions and also fight for the League title.

Tottenham's defeat benefits Aston Villa from finishing in the UCL zone next season, making it even more convincing for Aston Villa with a five point advantage over Tottenham. I already thought that Tottenham would not win their match against Man City, who are competing closely with Arsenal in the EPL title race, so the defeat they experienced It was clear that Tottenham could predict that Man City was no match for Tottenham's inconsistent performance and Man City won the match with great dignity.

Yes, Aston Villa's success this season is due to the hard work of Unai Emery who improved Aston Villa's performance to be quite good significantly, Aston Villa was even at the top of the standings for some time and was a strong candidate in the title race even though over time they gave up and couldn't keep up. Arsenal and Man City appear more consistently, the clubs that replaced Man U and Newcastle last season are Liverpool and Aston Villa who will compete in the UCL next season.

You should not put your hopes in the totenham. Totenham is now a garbage club  and even Tottenham fans were chanting for City to win the competition, this makes ange was fuming to the fans. So many people have been posted this on twitter. I was hoping to see Totenham destroyed by KING CITY, and it happened. im so thankful for KING city after it was destroying totenham. The easiest bet this season has always been on Manchester City to win the game. It proves that being able consistently winning in non EPL league doesn't mean it cna guarantee the club to compete in the big 4.
Manchester City is likely to win the EPL trophy again. It set a new record as the only club to win the EPL four times in a row.

From now on, I don't give Arsenal any chance. Because it is just too difficult to expect West Ham to tackle Manchester City. They don't even have a target left to achieve now. What a pity for Arsenal! 

Arsenal will be trophyless again this season. It was kinda weird by seeing how many media was praising arsenal's performance. In fact, arsenal never make any different. Qualify for the UCL is the best achievement achieved by arsenal in the modern football.
It's likely arsenal will never ever win the EPL trophy in the modern football. The upcoming season is just getting even stricter as some clubs will able to find their best performance.

I watched the game between Tottenham and Man City yesterday and you could tell that for the first time in a long while, especially in the first half, we saw a Man City side who were scared and felt the pressure. Tottenham started the game way better and made sure they were stopping Mam City from completing 5 successful passes. With the way Tottenham started the game, I think that also gave Arsenal fans some sort of eelef that the game could probably end in a draw and they will be confident of the league.

 Well Man City came in 2nd half and took their chance  with a square play from KDB to Haaland.  ⁠That began to spoil thennight for Arsenal supporters and the whole moment of the game from then was really exciting and breathtaking. City got the win and are now sitting on top with a 2 point gap and I think the battle will now go on to the last day as City will need to defeat West Ham to be crowned champions.

 ⁠Well looking at that Match, I believe City are the favorites, owing to the fact ot will be held in their home ground and my safe prediction for that game is a 3-1 victory to City as they will be crowned champions in that game. Arsenal as a team have tried but I think this isn’t just yet their season as they will have to try better and harder next season if they can be able to stop a team like City.

[Velvet78]

Oil money continues to win!    I wish West Ham still had some goal left in the league. It would have made their Manchester City game more interesting to follow.

But instead, we are probably going to see them destroyed by Manchester City at Etihad. I still want to keep my hopes up for Arsenal to win the title. Who knows, this is football. Maybe West Ham would prove me wrong and somehow make serious difficulties for them. Arteta and his students have made a really great effort until this point. It wasn't like the previous season. If they can't win the title, the Aston Villa loss and the chance Son wasted last night will haunt them.

In terms of quality and performance of both teams, of course it is very impossible for Westham to beat Manchester City in the next match, when Manchester City can destroy many big teams in their matches this season, then why should we have high hopes for a team that has just fired their coach and is in 9th position in the English league standings this season?
 It's true that we can't avoid all the possibilities that could happen in football, but in this match it looks like we won't see the possibility of a surprise that they could give to Manchester City, besides that, this match is the last match that is very decisive for Manchester City to be able to win trophy, so I think the Manchester City squad will perform optimally and also have high motivation to destroy Westham with a big score.

To be honest, I don't have the courage to hope for a draw in that match, let alone seeing Manchester City lose, of course it is something that is difficult to happen, I think for now Arsenal chance of winning the Premier League has disappeared and the hopes of winning the Premier League that they had have actually destroyed themselves when Arsenal lost points when they faced Aston Villa in the 32nd match last week, because in fact, if Arsenal could win that match, of course today we would see different conditions in the competition for the Premier League championship trophy this season.

Arsenal fans hoped the Lillywhites was able to stop City but that didn't happen. This is the second season where we would be watching how Gunners have persuaded the EPL but ends up not winning. Manchester City are about to be crown EPL title winners for the 5th time in a row, it's classical how the Citizens have secured the title. You believed Tottenham Hotspur will have winning points against Manchester City in the Premier League? Keep dreaming because Pep Guardiola was one of the top manager and he's the main reason behind the success of City.

[Pulsar77]

Nothing has ended yet of course. There is still a mathematical chance. But it is a fact that it is a much lower possibility now to see Arsenal winning the PL title.  :/

I didn't have big hopes from Tottenham to stop Manchester City honestly and they didn't surprise me. If we had the Tottenham of the first times of this season then I would be expectant. But we didn't.

I still admire Arteta for his great work so far. It isn't an easy thing to compete a this strong team with really young players. He has already proven his quality and I see him as Manchester City's next manager candidate too when Guardiola leaves.

Most at times I want to feel like there's gon be some magical moments at the last games during the weekend and at the same time I feel like it's completely over and that Manchester City had already won it. Anyways, Arsenal showed that Jose Mourinho and his prediction was wrong and same goes to the Super Computer who all predicted for Arsenal to be the least when mentioned amongst the top three to win the Premier League Competition.

Not to win the game actually, but to see them sharing points. That chance from Son should have changed it all but nothing like luck in the football. If Manchester City wins congratulations to them but my plans has always been for gunners to win it.

He should win thr manager of the Premier League Competition this season even if he doesn't win the Premier League Competition. He and his lads deserves whatever they've achieved this season. Let's see what happens when they finally get a natural striker for themselves.

It's not over until week 38 there is still a chance for Arsenal even though it's slim but not too much hope that something will go wrong.

Because Tottenham are having bad luck where they are underperforming for 4 losing matches so it's not a surprise if they lose again while we know Man City will continue to play hard to win and that's a fact.

True many admire Areta as a hard worker in building Arsenal, now has been able to compete with Pep Guardiola surrounded by talented easy players, but next season will be more than now.

Tottenham didn’t play any badly today, they just had unconverted chances and that last penalty offense on Doku sealed their fate tonight.

Why would Arsenal want their fate be decided by Tottenham Hotspur after so many chances they got and didn’t utilize any of them. If they lost this league to Manchester City then it would be their fault because some opportunities comes but once and Arsenal misused theirs. Arsenal have one last match to be played same as Manchester City. They both look likely to be win their last matches and with this result it’ll favour Manchester City. A draw will favour Arsenal but will Manchester City finish that match in a draw? I don’t think so, only a miraculous intervention can give Arsenal a chance to win this trophy this season.

[beerlover]

Arsenal fans still have one final match to look forward to. The final series of matches promises to be extremely attractive as Arsenal still has a small chance to win the championship. It would be better if Tottenham could hold off Mancity, but Tottenham have already done their best, because they also want to win to continue the race for the top 4 with Aston Villa. 5th place has been decided for Tottenham.

The pressure on both Mancity and Arsenal in the final match is not small. For Mancity, if they lose against Westham, they will probably regret it. The pressure of having to enter such matches will not be simple at all. I think Mancity's pressure will be greater than Arsenal's in this final match when Arsenal has almost nothing to lose.

Expecting West Ham to somehow get a tie against City would be naive. I mean Arsenal fans could hold their breath for a miracle, and weirder stuff has happened in the world of football so it wouldn't really be all that crazy, well it would be crazy thinking about the result, because while it would have been a normal result if City fails to win in like week 17, this would mean that they will lose the title and the record breaking four in a row, which is why I think they will not lose.

They will attack as much as possible, even with defender, just like last night, to make sure that they have a chance to win. I believe that they did alright, and they will still manage to beat West Ham without an issue, it shouldn't be a problem.

[Woodie]

After seeing the camera go Marcus Rashfords way , am starting to think Manchester United are playing better without him  and this was the same performance against the great Arsenal which could suggest that his either a problem for the team, or team plays better without the big names as everyone has an opportunity to showcase what they have on the pitch. Don't get me wrong, United has enjoyed his services when it mattered the most but at the moment very few are putting in the work to make a difference at United!!

Edit

Rashfords name came up for a Sub
