It was Dedryck Boyata at CB and we lost Tevez and Toure ti injury by half time. We lost 0-3. Don't remember a lad being stretchered off, but do remember (more than) a few Arsenal lads waving imaginary red cards, just to help the ref of course.

Yes. It was Dedryck.
We seemed to be bubbling nicely until that happened.
As Argyle posted, we can't be gloating until all our matches are done.

I really can't shake the feeling we're going to see an unprecedented collapse from them and we'll win the league by 10 points.

6 games left and in their current form I can see them losing to us, Brighton and Newcastle.

With Wolves, Forest and Chelsea the other 3, it's easy to imagine them dropping points in one of those after realising the title is gone.

Fine sentiment but 10 points? Optimist.
Ps This is not the caf.

Don’t be ridiculous, you signed Saka when he was 7 and like any academy player it’s a huge stroke of luck if they make it. You got Martinelli for about £6m due to his European family connections but you’ve signed plenty of wank players for big money, you can’t compare spunking £80m on Pepe for getting a transfer right.

£72M, and no one is saying it wasn't a monumental fuck up. I was replying to a comment that was having a fly dig about the signing of Pepe, with a tongue in cheek reply, there was no need to take it so serious.
 
The young bloke from Blue Peter is doing the snooker on Eurosport, really been bigging up the bestest team ever "from" norf landahn on the weds BT game, saying last week they're easily going to win.

Tonight whilst previewing what's happening on their channels, he just called it a title decider but without the gooner hyperbole. Twitching rabbit noses ahoy!

Was reading on some nonsense website that a perfect summer signing for them will be ....... Cancelo!

Yikes ;-))))

As a side note to enjoying this title race was wondering how many Arsenal players may be qualified as WC.
Lets say WC means you are a top 10 on your position worldwide, it would be Saka and Odegaard atm, maybe Saliba Zinchenko and Jesus, but at least last two very ambiguous (co called system players, Zinchenko with a massive question mark defensively, Jesus in aspect of finishing, which is important enough at his position). Saliba needs to stop catching injuries.

Partey and Martinelli have games when they look like WC, lacks consistency though. As been sometimes White, but I would assume more offensive skills required to be qualified as WC RB.

I think they ride better as an unit than sum of their parts (should have done better with Cups though, especially being out to Sporting in EL is not a best look for a Premier League contender). By the way I am sure its similar case with us. Club, Pep, coaching staff, makes players better than in a different environment. Ask Sane, Sterling, Torres, Garcia all have landed among big clubs and my impression is they hardly improve or got worse.

I hope you're right of course but for me it's still all to play for with banana skins all over the place for both sides. We're in great form and are now rightfully favourites to close out the league from here but all good runs come to an end. I actually think if it's a draw tomorrow then that's a decent result for Arsenal. But like us, they're not really set up to play for draws - they'll come and have a go which should make for a cracking game.

Can you name me 10 players comfortably better than Martinelli? As well as Partey?

Saliba definitely is for us look how we've fallen apart since his injury.

I think the last time we drew with the tarquins was 2016!
Most of the games since then have been City wins.

I don't see tomorrow being any different.

It could be argued you've fallen apart because this Arsenal team has never been close to a title and can't deal with pressure? It's not necessarily anything to do with Saliba.

World class is far better than top 10 in your position.
