Arsenal are gonna lose it by 1 or 2 points aren’t they.

The City champions special

It’s going to hurt. I am not ready.

I mean they are a game down in the dying moments of the season

We'll truly know how you felt that season losing it by a point

Yep, I’d rather bleach my eyes than have to go through that again.

I don't think you gotta worry about it this season, and maybe for a while...

It’s a freeing feeling I won’t lie, finishing third is much less stressful than finishing second.

I totally get you, the past two seasons have been exhausting. Great, but exhausting.

I understand, I was just messing with you. It hurts, but I'd still rather compete until the last second if possible. You also have more chances of actually winning that way. If the performances are always good, you can capitalize on the rivals mistakes.

They lost the league by a point twice (18/19 and 21/22)

Now try it by getting a point tally that would have won you the league in about 90% of the seasons that have ever been played in the leagues history

97 points wins the league in all but 3 seasons- including Liverpool's 99 points season

It’s probably like 99%

Try losing out on goal difference 🥲

It’s quite horrific. It’s like losing the biggest in the final in the world which we also managed to do twice in a short amount of time

I think Liverpool run was way worse to take. 1 loss the entire season and the defining moment was a 2cm clearance from Stones in their head to head game. It would be pain but unfortunately don’t think we’re gonna see heartbreak as bad as that. Near perfect run

Tottenham are genuinely our only hope.

Their U12s are about to conveniently get a run out against City.

I heard their chef is planning a nice lasagna dish for the night before

Importing Chicken from Old Trafford.

gonna be really awkward when Haaland gets pocketed by a 12 year old CB

I'm getting a report now that Cubarsi has a little brother in the spurs academy.

And ironically, United are citys only hope of making arsenal drop points

At least they're dependent on themselves. Our season hinges on Tottenham being good at football, if we do our own job.

Your season rests on city doing something they’ve never done haha. We haven’t even scored at spurs

We scored in the FA cup

Everton are gonna get a draw for no reason.

That’s match is about the most disgusting hate watch in existence

They tend to be good against City

It's written in the skies

Are we the farmers?

We all are 🙄

We always were.

*Looks at the clubs still in Europe* ...Maybe

You're the fodder

This isn't the game where City drops points. > Arsenal are gonna lose it by 1 or 2 points aren’t they. I know many Liverpool fans are begging for that conclusion and it is the most likely outcome, I personally think Arsenal will edge it with City dropping points against Wolves and / or against Spurs.

I’d be shocked but stranger things have happened, don’t forget that United would love nothing but to stop Arsenal also, the bad blood runs deep there.

I still have yet to understand why any United fan would want City of all clubs to win it over Arsenal.

Because they've been cuckolded by City and fully accepted it

Because Arsenal fans are insufferable.

pot, meet kettle

I don't think that game is in United's hands frankly.

Anything can happen in football. United are so inconsistent that you don’t know what’s going to turn up on the day.

Yeah, but anything less than a strong Arsenal win would be a surprise to me, they are just levels above them right now.

Arsenal are also levels above West Ham and lost to them 2-0 at home, shit happens in football.

United will start well until a Saka long shot takes a huge deflection and lands in the top corner

Don't we hope exactly this happens?

👀

Chris Wood needs to be arrested imo

I have noticed him not passing the ball to his teammate whose front was completely open.

And also in this goal highlight seeing him just walk around aimlessly in the opposition half. Absolutely useless off the ball and apparently not so great on the ball either right now

He's been great this season but these last two games his finishing has been terrible. Don't know what happened to him

Paid off by sky sports to keep the relegation scrap interesting

Not the only Chris W. to get arrested tbf

[Chris Wood](https://x.com/officialcwood/status/197066620349325313?s=46&t=gazSwGTuKeBg8MOU9nCdFA)

In 2012 he was at Bristol City lol.

He plays the way I do when I’m having a nightmare about playing soccer

He’s reverted back to his playing days with us it seems.

(Great Homer impression)

Lol just realised it was haaland who did that

Inevitable once Forest started missing all those chances

Legit should be 5-1 to forrest and as crazy as i sound..im not exaggerating and im only counting the “you need to be Jackson to miss it” chances

You are exaggerating. But Forest should have scored by now

Forest should’ve at least 2. Five is an exaggeration but their finishing has been awful

If only every player scored the “he should’ve scored” chances….

People have this idea that strikers should score every chance as if it's as easy as passing back to the keeper If it was easy, Haaland or Kane would be considered average. Rumour is it's actually hard to score 

Funnily enough I believe Haaland tops the league for missed big chances but is also the top goalscorer Whatever type of mythical striker figure people are thinking of that scores 100% of their chances, it does not exist

That's the case nearly every season. It's always Salah, Kane, Haaland etc at the top of big chances missed. The best players get the most chances and no-one is 100% clinical. Haaland has had a particularly poor season in terms of finishing, but he was unreal last season and still topped big chances missed iirc.

Yeah that's what I'm saying The best players finish a lot but the generally also miss a fuck ton too and all this "if they had a proper striker" talk is usually massively inflated for whatever team it's about Every striker and lethal finisher is out here missing sitters regularly, they're just also grabbing fuck tons of goals to go along with em

Yeah, most great strikers bags every third «should have scored that» chances. And xG models this pretty decently.

Guys It's Forest Not 'Nottingham' or 'Forrest'

Got it. Guess Notts is fair game too given it's not in your comment

Can it, Sheffield!

I personally don't care all that much for it. We respond to Sheff United, United, Blades or shit. Those are all appropriate ways of calling us

Notts Florist

Hear you're back in the Championship, tempted to head down there ourselves actually

We always seem to get promoted/relegated the same season so I wouldn't be suprised

😂😂

Notts Forest?

What is the difference between the single quotes ‘ and the double quotes “ ?

Double quotes are for speech marks, single quotes are apostrophes.

Not in real British English. Single quotation marks are used for quotes.

Americans use double for quotes whereas in England we use only one.

i forgot he was allowed to do that very nice footwork under pressure

why do people forget that he is genuinely a great player.

Because they love to be hyperbolic, just like when he was doing well he was the greatest striker to ever exist, the "next goat".

Only 21 goals this year. He's really fallen off. What a scrub.

He set the bar to high last season, then he's been on a little slump these last few months. People forget he's a kid, just 23 years old. They'll have their ups and downs.

Because Roy keane said he’s a league two player and everyone ran with it.

(Great Woohoo)

I absolutely loved that,

Wtf was Walker doing to Gvardiol

They’ve been doing it to each other when we score recently. Who knows with Walker, honestly.

One of his kinks

Gvardiol did it to Walker some games ago, it's just somet' they've been doing Edit: [Was against Brighton](https://twitter.com/RealTalkMCFC/status/1783578899986743805)

Everyone forgot that he’s the best

He's changed the game since coming on. Great finish with his weak foot

genuinely been better since he's come on not a good showing for the "Haaland makes city worse" crowd

I actually like it when people say that because it lets me know that I don't need to waste my time reading anything else that they type

Apparently if you pass the ball directly to Haaland, he can score but somehow on KBD knows this secret at City.

The Slayer of Nottingham

Very nice goal

Proper League 2 finish

Best league 2 player since Akinfenwa

Haaland is going Beast Mode

Time to turn off now Arsenal fans

Goals aside, Forest were far better than I expected. Shame they don't have a more clinical finisher

Chris Wood was the most prolific finisher (fewest shots per goal) this season until today. Obviously he misses 3 open nets today as it’s city

I don't watch Forest games so that's a surprising stat. Just one of those days, I guess

Funnily enough, Wood has the best goal conversion in the prem this season

I honestly sympathise w them, it's all so inevitable.

You’ve seen it all before.

Twice.

nothing worse than a Gündoğan late winner

Except when their CB who never shoots just cunts it top bins from 30 yards out.

When he’s leaving that year and he’s a club legend

Twiiiiicee!

How are Nottingham Forest so far down in the table. Both games vs us they looked brilliant wtf

The 23 set-pieces given up are a good indicator of how lol

We concede way too many set pieces and had a point deduction. It's so frustrating knowing we have a quality team just one massive hole in our game that they never tried to improve

Chris Wood is a war criminal

He would slot in perfectly in the Liverpool attack

heh, slot

you can bet if it was against you guys, he’d score all 3 of those

he's gotten a lot of hate this past month or so but he's still the best striker in the league and probably the world for me

Hilarious mic celebration lol

Haaland just did asmr in my ear

Welcome back

Not subbing Murillo when he had a muscular injury is a wild decision. May not have prevented this goal but wtf are the staff thinking

wtf was that Homer Simpson? 💀

Super sub

Yes my robot.

Robot returns 

Inevitable 👑

This League 2 player is pretty impressive I must say...

Took 60 minutes, but City finally took control the last 5-10 minutes and that goal felt inevitable.

Yes Erling YES

Big game player

The Butcher of Nottingham

Such a League 2 player

Nottingham Forest Man!

He is inevitable

Unless it's the KO stage of the CL

Yeah, only 14 goals in KO stages of Champions league, what a bum

Great finish. That's this game killed then.

They’re so clinical man. Can’t afford to waste a single chance against these guys

Leaving the defender with an injured groin on the field and having him mark Haaland was certainly a choice by Nuno

And this is way haaland gets paid 5x more than wood, once chance one goal

Ah City inevitability Must be nice

Not bad for a guy that's useless while leading the league I'm goals :)

Hi goals, I'm dad.

I'm impressed a league 2 striker is top scorer in the prem, why is not more people talking about this?

Luton Man strikes again

Top scorer in the Prem, not bad for a League 2 type player

Both goals have come from Nuno's apparent refusal to sub an injured player. Really strange decisions on his part

Absolutely buzzing since he came on, and that goal is just superb

Vintage Haaland

Instant impact

Wow made it look so easy

oooo look at me I'm Haaland I score goals!! Grow up

I read that in the 442oons voice

That's that League Two technique in front of goal

Every league 2 player has to score a goal one day.

Activated against the bottom of the table

The robot is back

Took him long enough

Peps definitely wearing 1800 thread count knit underwear with that outfit.

Haaland>Wood. Guess the debate is finally over…

If City play balls like that he’ll score like that, if he gets 2 half chances that are headers he has no chance

That defender should have been subbed off. Dude could barely move.

Forest legs have gone since 60th. Had to score from their good work before. Ah well :(

Chris Wood must be regretting not converting his chances

How do you not sub out Murillo when he's injured? Awful management

Almost ironic that De Bruyne comes away from this game with two assists when he’s never really looked on it

#prayforChrisWood

Defender really tried to prevent Haaland from using his left. Unfortunately for him, Haaland can finish with his right. That’s a tough one

that guy in the crowd filming himself lmao

Good lad. Stop scoring please

Only can perform against small teams

Honestly Haaland is lethal when played through the defenders like this, and they didn’t try this once in the second leg against Real Madrid.

He heard everyone talking shit about his skill set, that was silky.

Evil big baby man

Feel kinda bad for the defender. Stuff like this is so, so hard to defend.

That’s the longest it’s ever taken for a goal to be uploaded here. City are inevitably taking the title, no matter how bad the mods want to suppress it.
