Arsenal & The Title


Seems to be in their nature. From 4 possible trophies 22nd of March, down to 2 and a big blow to 1 of them today. Man City have been here and done it before, same as the cup final. Arsenal seem to play way too within themselves under arteta these days. When you win thats okay, but if he ends up with nothing he will be facing a huge portion of disgruntled fans

They can kiss goodbye to CL as well
No way would they beat PSG or Bayern
 
Really would be excellent if they bottled it. I haven’t paid much attention to the PL while we’ve been away but this season must be one of the more exciting ones in recent times. The title, Europe and final relegation spot all very much to play for.
 
Been watching a few fan vids.
They all want Arteta to fck off 🤣🤣
Seem to hate Madueke, Havertz and quite a few more.
 
If we were in 17th with a 9pt gap on the team in 18th who had two games in hand with six games left for us this place would be in absolute meltdown. The usual suspects would have us relegated already and some would have us heading back to L1.

But no, Arsenal won't blow it. They are neck and neck in form with ManC.

Newcastle did bottle it anything possible but I think they beat City away and recover this week with Champions League semi final

Beat City away? I’m not saying it can’t happen because they’ve both got class players who can pull out something special but my Arsenal mates were gannen mental cos Arteta played for a draw at home against them. Can you really see him going for a win at the Etihad?

I think it’s Arteta that might be bottling it, not the players, but it’s rubbing off on them.
 
I've got friends at work who are Arsenal fans who are shitting their pants. However, the arrogance walking back to Kings Cross from their fans after we played at their place made me want them to f**k it up. How's that quadruple looking now 🤷‍♂️
 
I think they'll still win the league but only because City aren't as good as they were. Arsenal are too nervy at this stage and seem to lack those match winners in the vital moments that City had in the past few years but City are a lot weaker now too.

Agreed. If his touchline antics are anything to go by, he doesn’t seem all that calm and collected.

Right at the start with this and also showing in the preview.

"But nine points clear after 32 games played and still failing to win the league? No team in Premier League history has capitulated to that extent."

Yet the reality is that after 28 games each, Arsenal had 61 points and Man City had 59 so it was just 2 points with equal amount of games played. It's only the next 2 games that Man City drew and Arsenal won that after 30 games each the true gap was still only 6 points with Arsenal on 67 and Man City on 61. The most it's ever been is 7 points after 14 & 22 games.

Until just recently some had it down as Arsenal's title for a while, even though they've still had to go to Man City which would close the gap by 3 points if it was the next game. I said at the start of February I still fancied Man City and the point of my post is that the 'gap' isn't as big as the media etc is making out as it's never realistically been 9 points. It's been mainly been 6 points at most, getting as close as 2 and it's there since around the 10th game as Arsenal had a great start getting 25 points to Man City's 19.

Arsenal have played 13 games so far this year, W7 D4 L2 getting 22 points and Man City W5 D6 L1 with 21 points so even if Man City win tomorrow, Man City have made all of 2 points back on Arsenal in a 3rd of a season's worth of games.
