    Manchester City midfielder Rodri used his post-match interview to call out Arsenal, telling Australian channel Optus Sport: "I think to be honest it's the mentality [that helped City win the league].

    "Great players are all over the leagues. All over other clubs. Arsenal also, they did an unbelievable season but the difference was in here [points to head].

    "When they faced us here in the Etihad I saw these guys who didn't want to beat us. They just wanted to draw.

    "That mentality... we wouldn't do it the same way. At the end, if you give us one point we will win the last seven or eight games even with how tough it is, so I think it's in terms of mentality."

    Not sure what he did wrong though, did he purposely walk through there, couldn't avoid it or just strayed in there by mistake?

    Good news for you is that Pep ain't planning to stay beyond next season ... so your manager can stop being Pep's bitch after that!!! <laugh>

    Rodri is spot on about mentality, look at Pep with Haaland, it's never good enough, he tries to instill in him, winners don't miss, even if you got two goals, you should have got a hat-trick, if you want to win don't even think what you do is good enough, always strive to be even better. The time to celebrate is when you actually have that silverware in your hands, then you think about your next goal, your next achievement. Arteta is just a man full of problems, never solutions, how many seasons is this they have bottled it now?

    City never lost a game when Rodri was playing last season - in fact, sure I heard that he has now gone something like 74 games without losing ... incredible stat if true ...

    I think now Pep has his hand on the title, he can relax a bit, but he won't - I never assume anything, expect the unexpected then you can't be disappointed. A one off game can go either way, even Ten Hag can handle that, can't he...

    City are buzzing after the title and obviously love to collect trophies but I just have a feeling that Utd could shock everyone.

    That said I also wouldn’t be surprised if City ran riot and it was 5-0 at half time <laugh>

    I genuinly wouldn't like to call it, I'll just enjoy the game which ever way it goes.

    No more than I fancied West Ham getting anything <laugh>

    United have some dangerous forwards - and I can see them scoring - but if they're putting Dad's Army out at the back, Doku, Haaland, Alvarez and Foden will make hay whilst the sun shines ...
