City winning a title is like a windmill in the Mariana Trench.

What a season. The lads finished strong. They've improved so much and still have more to give.

I'm really not even sad, I just don't care. This is what City has done to football.

This is sincere btw, I actually just can't bring myself to care. Not angry, not sad, not anything. We keep going.

Taken the fun out if it for sure.

I'm just trying to focus on us and how far we've come and how there feels like a future and a goal for the club.

I have no problem believing it. As a thought exercise, imagine United or Liverpool or shudder Spurs winning the league today.

I'd be furious. I'd be back under the covers and refusing to come out for hours, maybe go on a rage workout or even have a few drinks.

But City winning? Yeah, sure. I don't give a shit. I can only hope that their lawyers can't save them from whatever weak punishment the FA doles out for permanently sucking the joy out of this league.

I think that's why I'm not even mad or entirely devastated. The environment sucks.

For real, I feel like we unofficially won the league. Man City is Cheat Mode FC, so among actual teams operating under regular rules we finished top of the league.

My gaffa would make a great pastor.

No more league football for now. Time to regain some sanity

Ahh, you're gunna miss it, just like me xD

But I know exactly what you mean, haha

Considering our start and teething pain, this was a great season if we take a step back. Unfortunately the environment is this way, we just got to do our best to keep everyone honest in the words of Mustoe, keep pushing.

Signing of the season has got to be Rice, but I am most happy about Havertz. He is a testament to what a good environment does for a player, a testament to what Mikel created for the club. He is able to bring out the potential in these guys. Hell he got Tomiyasu to score this season, twice!

And Declan has a built in recharger, man has even more energy towards the end of the match, always gives it his all. £100m fucking worth it.

Have a great summer guys! We go again.

Honestly idk I think Havertz ends up our signing of the season for me. There's so many points this season we wouldn't have gotten if not for him.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I love his redemption arc of the season, here's hoping we get him even stronger.

I think in a way if Arsenal are to lose a Championship having had such a lead at one time it’s somewhat poetic justice that they have got the result on the last day even if they’re not to win it.

Tainted title.
