Guardiola: 'It's not over' — title race vs Arsenal after West Ham draw
Pep Guardiola insists the Premier League title race with Arsenal is far from decided after City's draw with West Ham, sending a defiant message to fans.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has fired a defiant message to Arsenal in the Premier League title race after City's draw with West Ham, saying: 'It's not over. Who said that?' The remark arrived in the wake of a result that Guardiola framed as a setback, yet he used it to send a warning to their chief rivals that City will keep fighting.
Guardiola stressed that the race remains alive and that City will keep pushing until the final whistle. His verdict underlined a familiar approach: turn frustration into fuel, rally the players and focus on the next challenge rather than dwell on what has happened.
The manager's comments reflect his willingness to empty the notebook on the eve of crucial fixtures, insisting that Arsenal, and the rest of the field, must be prepared for a long campaign. In Guardiola's view, sequence and momentum can swing, and City intend to seize both when the time comes.
City supporters will be watching closely as Guardiola's message sets the tone in the camp ahead of upcoming matches. The tone is combative, the aim clear: stay in the hunt, close the gap, and keep the title race alive until the final ball is kicked.
While a single quote cannot guarantee results, Guardiola's defiant stance signals that City are not surrendering the chase and will test Arsenal's resolve in the months ahead, keeping fans engaged as the season moves toward a decisive finish.
