They were lucky to win that. Deserved a draw. I still think we'll win the league, I still think they'll drop points. The performance was orders of magnitude better than what we've seen for god knows how long, it gives me hope.

At this point I'm kind of numb about the prospect of Man Cheaty winning the league again. It doesn't really mean anything. All that dirty oil money and those dodgy financial moves... It doesn't count as an honest win.

Between the consistently abysmal refereeing (that has impacted many clubs) and the unwillingness to do anything about the flagrantly corrupt finances of clubs like Chelsea and Man City, this league is a fucking joke anyway.

I hate them so much man. Congrats, bought the best player possible in january to buy another league title, maybe even a treble. God I hate them.

I think our recruitment team or whatever it is they use needs to be fired or discontinued. I mean look at the recruitment of other teams. Look at West Ham, they are in trouble and their recruitment in January is having a big hand in digging them out in addition to Shit being shit. Let's not even start with City's signings. Our academy products are not trusted, our attacking options have fizzed out.

It's criminal that we let them beat us twice in such massive games in such a short period of time. We haven't been good enough for a while now, can't score a normal goal to save our lives. I think we've got another defeat in us before the end of the season, and City just look like they're going to cruise through now.

I'm just numb.

Surely there must be a god, for how else would such consistently abysmal luck exist
