There's still a chance, if Spurs lose to Newcastle and we beat Aston Villa then we finish in 2nd. It's not unbelievable and it's not over yet.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Mate, we did not play well.
Yes we got a point, but we played badly.
Still a chance, but I can't see Newcastle beating Spurs, and tbh, a loss against Villa wouldn't even surprise me

Tuesday night is going to be tough without Elbows.

Think it was only the case if City also won the CL.
We didn't play well but we secured 3rd place. That was always the aim of this match.
Spurs will probably win but they are champion bottlers who have had 3 disappointing matches in a row.
Nope 5 teams in UCL.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with 3rd. Winning today to put pressure on Spurs would've been a lot better though
oh, ok then. enjoy 10 more years of Wenger, Arsenal fans
If you had been offered those two results at midday you'd have taken it!
2nd has been out of hands for a while, at least it's going to the last game of the season.
Remember 10 years ago and the lasagne?

Final game at Upton Park, surely they wanna go out with a win... :/
I'm hoping they're demotivated now that they can't get CL (barring a freak +16 goal swing and City losing at Swansea).
West Ham should be up for it, last game at Upton Park and they'll probably wanna end on a high after the spanking they got yesterday. Would be hilarious if Pep is in Europa and Van Gaal gets another season though.

We didn't though technically. If we lose against Villa and the other two win their remaining we could drop out of top 4.
If you lose to Villa you don't deserve top 4. Yous should comfortably beat them though.

How awesome La Liga is when the 2nd and serious contender for the league title loses against an already relegated team?
If 4th is on the line and Arsenal lose at home to a pathetic Villa then Arsene should get sacked after the game. That or bring in a whole new squad. actually both.
Dude. It's Villa.

Villa have a habit of turning up at the Emirates.
Let's hope so.
In other news the guy doing the commentary for liverpool's match for sky sports news today really didn't want them to win lol, he seemed a bit crazy

Apart from not winning (City) I enjoyed the game unexpectedly. City played well, finally with a bit of passion, have been waiting for that for a good while. Usual flaws let us down in the end, too many silly mistakes and lack of structure and discipline. Thought Arsenal didn't play well, big fan of Bellerín though. Ah well just hope West Ham and Man United slip up. Had to stop myself from turning the TV off when Bony was brought on, Pellers needed to win the game so he brings Bony on, what was he thinking, Bony has done very little of note all season.
That was definitely not a good look. Not like any of them had to be somewhere at 6pm on a Sunday, the least they could have done is stay an extra 5 minutes.
Firmino did it again, poor defenders. Not as life ending this time though.

Why poor Pellegrini? Though I agree that the fans that went should have stayed longer, it i just basic match etiquette to stay longer on the last home match.
Congrats.
He's a decent chap and gave them a league title, it was pretty disrespectful.

That new thread smell
I am looking at a video I took of the last Arsenal game of the season at home in 2014. The stadium (excluding away fans) is 90% full for the team's lap of honour, the empty seats being mostly at Club Level.
This is shocking. Pellegrini won 3 cups in 3 years and barely any of them could be arsed to stay.

He is but many City fans dislike him. I'm not one of them, though happy he is moving on. Some feel he has made the club regress due to his tactical inflexibility, unwillingness to do what it takes to win games, appearing to lack of enthusiasm or proactive in games, essentially saying the same thing every press conference for three years, using players in rigid manners that isn't utilising the best of their abilities, the team lacks discipline, was inconsistent and ultimately failed to motivate players. There is also the fact that due to his calm mannerisms and placidity towards the press that City fans never really got to know who he was as a manager beyond the "charming man" moniker.

Small team with a lot of oil money.
Anyway thanks for the favour Arsenal. Pretty crazy to have champions league in our hands with 2 games to go. Typical of Van Gaal's time with us I suppose. Can still easily fuck it up though.
That's no excuse. He won the league for City, not staying for the lap of appreciation is disgraceful.

I agree it isn't an excuse, it's utterly disrespectful and the fans that went and left early should be ashamed of themselves.
Is too bad Sevilla didn't show up. Now Granada don't have to worry about being relegated on the final day.
We look average in a match like every other week.
All ends well then.

Hello darkness my old friend,
I've come to speak with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain,
Still remains,
Within the sound of silence.

I don't think you guys will do any better with Pep.
They get the money for league titles handed to them out of nowhere and then they just act entitled about it. Awful fanbase.
