    My assumption is that they were prepared to talk shit about Arsenal losing, they didn’t have any alternate talking points prepared, so they just reset to factory default

      Some people just enjoy shitting on us. Go back and look at how we were talked about in the media. No one took us seriously, and we barely made a few ppls top 4 predictions, and then we started winning.

      • “They haven’t faced any real competition, just wait”

      Once that narrative dried up it was onto

      • “They can’t sustain this”

      But we did, and then Jesus got hurt.

      • “They can’t do it without a proper striker”

      And we just kept on ticking, winning games and picking up points. Somehow we went from barely being worthy of top 4 to title contenders by mid season and the only team in the league giving City City a proper fight for the title.

      Once people got sick of us winning, they started complaining, and out came the fun police.
