8 points back already.

Anyone would be contenders at that point if we made the mistakes we have!

It's up to us really.. how we play. I don't think we have room for more mistakes in this title race!

no way....far too many twists ahead.
Chelsea, Spurs, utd ,liverpool, Newcastle and City to play....no chance. too many teams in the league get scalps,it s still wide open. not even half way yet.
 
Arsenal look the real deal.. But a long season ahead. Dippers were 14 points behind last year with less games left in the season. Still Arsenal to play home and away but certainly not much margin for error.

Yep I don't think we're getting 100 points this year.

Yes but here's a stat for you.. Arsenal can lose 3 more games the rest of the season and still end up with a 100 points.

We've got the harder schedule and champions league on top.

Won't be easy by any stretch of the imagination.
 
it's still very early to call and when you have not been in the title race for such a long time, you may also start to look too far ahead and bank results you think are easy wins, you forget to turn up, city did that in the first Premier League title under Mancini, we thought we will beat teams easy because we're looking like champions and then the penny dropped, we tightened up and could not buy a result until we thought it was over,

when you start thinking of picking up the trophy is when the trouble starts
 
providing we reduce to 5pts on wed then there is fuck all in it, the game with them in Feb will be a must not lose,we'l turn them over at home if we have to
 
Beat them home and away and we'll probably win it

Never seen a poor bookie who still have us as strong favourites
 
We just have to do the double over them. Do that and we'll win the title. Dont do that and I'm not sure.
 
Its hard to assess us given we are a blank canvas. We havent been in this position for a long time, and most of our players are in the beginning of their careers. Xhaka, Partey, Zinchenko Jesus, Tierney are the only key personal 25 years and older. Much of the squad are really young. Saka 21, Martinelli 21, ESR 22, Saliba 21, Gabriel 23, White 24, Ramsdale 23, Nketiah 22, Tomyiasu 22, Vieira 21, Odegaard 24.

There is no way to know how they handle the title challenge, as its all knew to almost the entire squad. My honest belief, if they will be up for it. There will be no 'collapse' were we dop points three matches in a row. I can see us being really consistent and being more than competitive in the two games v City and our trip to Anfield.

Saka, Martinelli, Saliba, Odegaard..........these guys are up for it.
 
Always need to be said times and times again, the key that makes this Arsenal team works is Partey. If he outs because injury, then the team will get shakey and start falling apart. His backup isn't that good like he was.

I think they will finish second and then it will feel to Partey like it's 1999.

Both Arsenal and Newcastle will still be in the mix towards the latter end of the season IMO. Both very good attacking teams and quick play and I have to be honest and say I`ve enjoyed watching both these teams.
We need to be on toes for all games, something which Pep is very good at making the lads do. An interesting seaon ahead.
 
West Ham were not very impressive. They were more like a Championship side, I thought. No fresh ideas, no plan B, so they spent most of the game committing silly little fouls and feigning injury whenever they lost the ball. It was like the game plan was to disrupt the flow of the game and get Arsenal bogged down in a midfield stalemate.

Thankfully, it failed.
And I say 'thankfully' not because I'm a closet Gunner -obviously I would have preferred a wet spam victory- but because Arsenal tried to play football and West Ham didn't.

I agree . Anyone who thinks this arsenal team will fall away is in a big shock as they will go to the wire and there’s a good chance they win the title especially if we carry on the pre World Cup form .
 
They can’t win it as the Liverpool fans I know have said that only Klopp is capable of stopping it being a 1 team league.

Without them City would stroll it every season.
