On March 27, Jamie Carraker sparked a debate in a recent column, claiming neutral fans
prefer Manchester City over Arsenal because Arsenal supporters are acting to hysterical.
He argued there is an anybody but Arsenal vibe sweeping the country ahead of their big
clashes.
Pep Guardiola fueled the fire with his over-the-top celebrations after City won the
Carabao Cup on Sunday.
Despite his history of stacking trophies, he acted like it was the greatest moment ever.
Drawing comparisons to dramatic TV performances, critics point out City's massive spending
edge sets them apart.
They dominate on wages, far outpacing rivals like Arsenal so any success feels bought rather
than purely tactical genius.
Guardiola handled a mid-season slump by Splash and Cash on Defender's Mark Gigi and
Ford on Twan Semenio, whose weekly pay tops most Arsenal players.
In the end, aside from Tottenham fans, most folks root for anybody but City these days,
flipping Carraker's take on its head.
