Haven’t watch the game but apparently the  stadium was at least 50% empty.  Apparently the fans want Wenger gone ASAP.  

Arsenal played a lot better today than they did during the cup final. The problem was that City also played a lot better.

Weather was pretty bad and I can't imagine they were too keen on seeing Arsenal play City again after that woeful cup final performance.

Yea, the attendance this year has been awful.  In years past, the stadium was packed no matter what.

Difference is this is one of the worst Ds in EPL.

[Shocker]

Watch Chelsea vs City and feel compelled to post the fact that Cesc Fabregas is total   SO sick of watching him jog around giving balls away and NO effort whatsoever.  Fug him.

Update:  Yep, I'm about done watching Chelsea this year.  No one is trying today and even Conte makes no changes.  Chelsea has no heart and I'm sick of watching this shetshow.  Willian terrible, dreadful today.  Christianson...sucks.  Even Pedro looks dreadfull.  And yes, Hazard has been fuggin terrible.  Team effort, everyone sucked.

it's because teams play City hoping for a draw to keep their goal differential and not drop in the tables. everyone for the past 2 months just plays all 11 players in defense, jogs around, and hopes City doesn't run up the score.

that's the worst strategy yet everyone does it. Liverpool showed what you can do when you pressure City into defensive mistakes, but nobody wants to try it.

"park the bus against City" is the "contain Cam and double Olsen" of the EPL

[Shocker]

Conte acknowledged as much on parking the bus but the Chelsea players were really horrible today.  Conte was as well, the false 9 doesn't work but we continue doing it.  Chelsea is definitely going to sack Conte and probably completely change the roster.  Any way congrats on the title.

Chelsea and Arsenal both suck.  Both teams need a major shake-up.  Both team players quit on their coach.  Arsenal board wants Wenger gone ASAP but Kroenke will give him until June to pack his poo.  

[Shocker]

So true, I can stand not being as talented but when no one cares it drives me crazy.  We have seen Chelsea quit like this before.  Usual suspects.

[Fenrir]

Salah is a bad man! Hat trick against Watford. Didn’t someone say earlier in the thread that he wouldn’t start for Chelsea? Think that’s been proven incorrect. 

[Fenrir]

Spoke too soon. Make it 4 goals. Lol.

England is thinking about forcing Russian owners to sell stakes in soccer club.  It means Chelsea and 30% of Arsenal will be up for sale.

So glad EPL is back on.
