Disagree, we had loads of chances and were unlucky not to score at Sunderland.We wouldn't have scored a goal even if we had 12 minutes mate. We didn’t look like scoring in the time we were given, and that tells its own story. Truth is, we don’t deserve to be top right now and Arsenal have earned it, they’ve got more points and have been more consistent - in both League and CL. It shouldn't be this conspiracy theory that referees are against us.
They are unbeaten at home and drew with Arse at SOL.We
Issue is, we don't need to rely on referees. We should be beating sides like Sunderland. We've won what we've won on merit in our time of dominance.
And they could have also scored 3 themselves. Donnarumma made 2 top class saves.They are unbeaten at home and drew with Arse at SOL.
We should have won truth be told but didn't because of poor finishing.
Tarquin?Arsenal have had the highest XG from any team in the league by far. They've won the most, lost the least and conceded the least. They are top because they deserve to be, not because they've got "referees on their payroll". Some of the shit you hear from football fans hah!
Okay, but you're just repeating what I said to OP, that tomorrow's game is a must-win in my eyes.We win our game in hand tomorrow it's 4 points and we'll have a better goal difference. Beat them at our place and match them in every other and it's then just ONE point.
In that scenario I back them to bottle it before we do.
By the way, they had 5 more points 3 years ago at this stage and they didn't win it that year.
Disagree we were getting closer to scoring but the ref decided to blow his whistle before the minimum timeWe wouldn't have scored a goal even if we had 12 minutes mate. We didn’t look like scoring in the time we were given, and that tells its own story. Truth is, we don’t deserve to be top right now and Arsenal have earned it, they’ve got more points and have been more consistent - in both League and CL.

ooofHAHAHAHAHA STAY HUMBLE EY GABRIEL
Stats wise perhaps but will that defence stand firm when it really matters?Its not about if its an all time great defence. Its about whether they currently have the best defence in the league or not which they do.
Everyone goes on about this deeper squad better squad but is it really? They are bringing on the likes of Madueke who wasn’t even a guaranteed starter at Chelsea, Eze who it appears is on the outskirts and not rated by Arteta & Jesus who is a crock.Well I’m not worried about anything. When the real pressure is on, a game every three/four days in different competitions we know Arse-anal have the better, deeper squad.
We, however, have a better team and a manager who knows how to win. Arse-anal have a neurotic failure as manager and a team of bottlers. Bring it on.
Shouldn’t we be pissing it then?They ain't very strong tho. They need to win every game to get 99pts they'll be lucky to win the league with 90 as strong teams go they're nowhere near us or the Liverpool sides of last 6/7 years.
City win tomorrow this very strong Arsenal side are a massive 4pts above us and have to come to the Etihad.
Strong my arse they're just the best of a bad bunch. The quality of this league is terrible.
Madueke, Eze and Jesus, to name just 3.Everyone goes on about this deeper squad better squad but is it really? They are bringing on the likes of Madueke who wasn’t even a guaranteed starter at Chelsea, Eze who it appears is on the outskirts and not rated by Arteta & Jesus who is a crock.
Who are these brilliant players they can call upon?
I only know 4 names on the bench, 1 the keeper, 2 Fletcher lads only because we've discussed them on here when with us & that bloke who is a district of Huddersfield.That United starting XI and bench is laughably bad, considering all the money they've spent.
