Will we win the league this season? No

[Axel Freed]

Can’t believe the best team in Europe with the best squad in the PL, a rock solid defence, two top class players in each position and with the best midfielder in the world, actually dropped points tonight to break their long winning run that’s powered them to an almost impregnable position atop the table.

What chance could we possibly have to win the league when faced with such a mighty opponent

They're 7th in the form table. They're having an atrocious 2026.

Let's hope it continues

Christ its not even March yet

I just cant help but think theyre going to throw it away without us really doing much but winning games we should win etc

As always theyre just too emotionally invested, and they've not even hit March where you play Champions League games either side of a league game, and then the league cup final on the horizon

It'll just all become too much for them, and they've already hit a wall in terms of creating chances and winning comfortably

Not getting carried away with us but I think bringing in Guehi and Semenyo, and Dias returning, it feels like both sides have got slightly opposing trajectories

When in reality Arsenal luckily hold onto a point missing the chance to go 6 points clear at the top

 

[chaddblue]

Probably for the first time this season, I genuinely believe we could win it

 

[Withnail]

Arsenal still favourites, but there is very little room for error. Not ideal they have Wolves away next week, let's hope Spurs can somehow get a result in a couple of weeks.

Imagine what is going through their minds? Remember this is a team that a have won zero trophies in 5 years. Arteta will desperately be trying to calm them down but his own emotions of doubt will betray him and the players will pick up on that.

They’ll be desperate not to throw away another chance of winning the title and the nervousness and doubt will just keep creeping throughout the squad.

We've only won 3 of our last 8 league games and have somehow managed to close the gap lol

No , we haven't.
They were 2 points ahead of us 8 games ago and now they are 4.
We have got 13 points and they have got 15.
They have 4 wins to our 3.

Could be worse they could have wolves at home

However what we do have is away trips to United, Spurs & Liverpool all done and dusted

 

[blue_danube]

We should be about 6 points clear.

But Arsenal fans will feel they should be about 12 clear because they'll be looking at four draws in the last six games as games they should win and 8 dropped points; just like we do as City fans.

how convenient their Carabao final PL fixture is vs one of the worst PL side ever. then if neither us or Palace out of Europe by April this could be pushed back quite a lot even into late April. 2-2.5 months with a game in hand, which can be be extra pressure for us and a larger gap indeed if they manage to beat a shit Wolves.

We've been there before with games in hand until late in the season. Concern is we end up with a Saturday / Tuesday / Thursday / Sunday week.

I'm still not convinced we're ready to go on a long run yet, but maybe a full week without a game next week changes things. If we do manage a consistent run, I think we overtake them so despite the 4 point gap I think it's in our hands.

I wouldn't like to be going into the arse game looking for a win. I think we would beat them but prefer to be ahead of them or on the same points

 

[MCFC1993]

In a way, their extra Wolves game next week about 2 months before we play Palace could cause complacency.

I can see it coming back into our hands in the next 3-4 weeks.

I think they'll be 5 points clear but we'll have a game in hand and we'll still have to play them.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

It's funny that at one point on Sunday they were 9 pts clear, 100 hours later they are just 4 pts clear. Bit of a blow that

They were 3 points clear 2 hours ago.
League is only correct when all teams have the same amount of games played

Tbf Wolves nearly got a draw at the Emirates earlier in the season, let's hope they can give them a decent game again.

 

[Dodge]

Keown doing his level best to polish a turd. Bigging it up as a great point, well earned.

Well Martin, the midweek fixtures had City at Clanfield and your lot at Brentford, with a 6 point cushion. On what planet, with the lead now being reduced to 4 points, is tonight a positive for FC SecondAgain?

Stupid ****.

You didn't get it?

 

[bluemc]

The home draws against Brighton/Chelsea, as well as throwing away a two goal lead at Spurs, still piss me off. I hope they don't hurt us in the final standings.
