    Let's hope they sign Harry Kane.

    Have our owners take charge. Let's see how good they are with a seasonal rebuild on and off the pitch.

    Three predictable comments from the "let's slag off our own club at every possible opportunity" brigade.

    Impossible to stop them while the PL is based on making money rather than actual sport and don't even properly enforce their own financial rules.

    They've literally got 115 charges against them?

    Yes but will any of them result in any sort of serious punishment?

    Have you seen what the charges are mate? They'll get reduced to around 20-30, if that, and rightly so, but I'll be shocked if they don't get punished. Personally, I think its fantastic someone coming and taking over all the clubs who have had a monopoly over English football for years.

    Every single elite club moaning at City have done exact same or worse as them in their history. Arsenal had corruption run in that club dating back to the 1910/20s.

    They need to get rid of the rules. That's the only way to beat City. When Forest, Villa, Newcastle are allowed to sign players without punishment and not have to sell young talent they'll get closer.

    I'm not sure how what Arsenal did 100 years ago is relevant to whether rules should be imposed and enforced today.

    I wouldn't describe regimes with dubious human right records buying clubs for the sole purpose of sportswashing as "fantastic". It's a cynical commoditisation of the game and robs it of its soul.

    There’s one player that they really struggle without and that’s Rodri. He needs crocking. In the not so distant past a manager would’ve instructed a couple of players to leave one on him & take a yellow card but they all seem to stand off City & defend deep. If he missed a couple of months injured next season then I doubt they win the league.

    The solution is to physically harm someone?

    To be fair if Son scored that 1v1 chance in the last few minutes Arsenal would've been in the driving seat and on course to win the title.

    I’m not saying it’s right or that I’d personally want a player from my team to do it to an opponent but he’s their key player. If he’s missing they’re a far weaker outfit.

    I think he missed 3 games suspended earlier in the season & they didn’t win any.

    Yet they’ve shown they can cope without their other stars like Haaland, De Bruyne, Ederson, Dias etc.
