Throwing points... 
Throwing pts against Arsenal?
- Thread starter Sky1981
- Start date
Optimistic is one way of putting it.
What planet are you on? City would make history with 4 in a row.
Delete this thread. The idea that we will somehow be able to influence the outcome of the game on Sunday in terms of Win/Draw/Loss is a complete fantasy.
It's irrelevant. I pity those who give any credence to it.
Like we'd need to throw the game for Arsenal to get maximum points.
Nah. Them winning more will hurt us in the long term.
Well, it’s still a very strong Liverpool, much better than us the last few years, and much better than us this season, and have humiliated us 5-0, 4-0 and 7-0 quite recently - so I’ll take it and enjoy it if you don’t mind!
We are going to be completely humiliated and it will be a shock if it isn’t our biggest defeat of then season. Our biggest contribution will be ensuring City have no chance of goal difference gap.
Chance would be a fine thing.
They should be stripped of their titles.

This is where I'm at. I detest City but their titles are so hollow
I agree.
Throwing points, we will get hammered anyway.
Somehow, I think we'll get a draw in this game which might end Arsenal's title hopes.
Yeah I can see the hammering/comfortable win for Arsenal but it won’t be because we’ve thrown anything
I wish we had a the ability to throw points at the moment
It would be kind of typical for this team, but I think there are some big differences to the Liverpool games, where we got the results against the expectations. First of all, the cracks were already beginning to show for Liverpool, whereas Arsenal are firing on all cylinders. Second, there are still major doubts about which players we can actually use in central defense. If it ends up being Casemiro again, we're doomed. I'd also say that the players and the fans will probably be slightly less up for it against Arsenal vs. the archenemy Liverpool.
I'm so confident of a loss by more than two goals, that I'm considering a bet on it.
we dont need to 'throw' anything, they will batter us whether we like it or not
We don’t need to throw the game. No chance we’d get anything if we wanted to.
Throw points… haven’t we been doing that all season? Or are you telling me we’ve been playing like this deliberately.
Bee more surprised if we got points
We need to help better their goal difference. We can do better than 4 nil. Maybe 6 or 7?
We can't throw pts since we will lose it anyway, but we can make Arsenal's goal difference bigger
We are throwing games by just turning up (or rather not turning up) on the pitch.
Can we just play the kids. It would be a free hit. Even if we lose 8-0 would it really matter.
As if we needed to throw anything
We’ll win this and City will win the title, I can just see us turning up when we least care about it.
Like we have a choice in it anyway? We're getting comfortably beat either way.
Well since we built up so many points Vs the weaker teams recently, we are free to lose a few points in these tougher games...
The way we play against Palace, we will create another new record vs Arsenal. 50 shots against us and 8-0. This is what ETH meant by dynamic and entertaining, defending 50 shots in a game.
We won’t need to as we are terrible, can’t see us getting a point in the last three games.
It would matter to the PL. They would hang us out to dry.
If they were concerned about us deliberately lowering the quality of the starting line up they'd surely have questioned Antony's continued inclusion by now?
They did to Blackpool. Not to Liverpool. Big club bias.
I don't want us to win tomorrow. There, I've said it. What would be ideal - for me - would be a really good performance, outplaying Arsenal, but them to score a lucky winner. I really, really don't want City to win the title.
Hehe, we have no choice other than to give Arsenal the points, whatever our intentions.
The pressure is on Arsenal.
City are 2 points in the lead after today’s win at Fulham.
Both teams have 2 games left.
Arsenal need to win both remaining fixtures ( inc. beating Utd at OT tomorrow) and hope City drop points.
If City win both games (away at Spurs on Tuesday night and home to West Ham on the final day), then it makes no difference what Arsenal do. It’s City’s title.
If we draw or win against Arsenal, it’s City’s title.
Arsenal have no option but to go for it tomorrow.

We will probably end up drawing, which will be shit for both sides.
