Arsenal fans unveil 'oil money can't buy class and tradition' banner before Man City clash

talksport.com, 11 February 2023, 19:01
Arsenal fans have added some spice ahead of their title showdown with Manchester City with an apparent oil-themed jibe at their rivals.

The Gunners face off against Pep Guardiola's men next up, with the clash now even more crucial after they dropped points in back-to-back games.

A 1-1 draw against Brentford follows a 1-0 defeat to Everton, with City trailing in second in the Premier League on the same number of games.

The six-point gap between the title fighters could be halved should City win against Aston Villa, giving them the chance of leapfrogging Arsenal in their Wednesday showdown.

And Gunners fans appeared to make a dig at their rivals ahead of the match, with a pointed banner at the Emirates.

It read: 'Arsenal FC. Class and tradition. Something oil money can't buy.'

The timing of the banner comes after City were charged with over 100 alleged breaches of Premier League financial rules.

The league concluded a four-year investigation into the Citizen's finances, with allegations dating from the 2009/10 season to 2017/18.

A range of penalties could be levied at Man City should they be found guilty of the charges, including a points penalty or even expulsion.
