Will we win the league this season? No

I was hoping Arsenal might drop at least a point or two from the last two London derbies but they didnt....

They have

Brighton (A)
Everton (H)
Bournmouth (H)
Us at our place
Newcastle (H)
Fulham (H)
West Ham (A)
Burnley(H)
Palace (A)

The only 3 games I can see them dropping any points in is Brighton, us and possibly Palace away last game (Which would mean we would still need to be in it mathematically by that point.
They will win their home games.

Unless we beat them and are perfect in every other game as well I think they win it

Similar to our fixtures, most of these teams have nothing to fight for and will be ‘on the beaches’ when the games come around. It will suck if we come very close but don’t win it. I already feel sick at the thought of needing a favour from Palace on the last day.

Yeah, they look like they are in ‘close out’ mode, limping to the end. When looking at their remaining fixtures, I think teams that can set up good low blocks and still have something to fight for could cause them problems. I can see them dropping points against a team like Everton, although it’s at the Emirates.

This quadruple is whats keeping them going.
As soon as they get knocked out of one of these competitions, I can see them losing a lot more games.
They have favourable games in a lot of these so we need to stick it to them in the Carabao final. We cannot go with the " lazy" attitude like in our last 2 FA cup finals or the CWC.

Declan Rice literally looked physically done in that Chelsea match.

Zubumendi as well was non existent

There are still a lot of big matches left to play and these guys have played a hell of a lot of football

The same thing happened to Liverpool a couple of seasons back. I think they were also going for 4 trophies but one was the Europa league and it looked like they were well placed to do it. However they got knocked out of one and then completely collapsed.

That Liverpool team were levels above this arsenal one as well

Nobody *knows* what's going to happen. Arsenal tend to finish badly in most seasons, but won 16 from the last 18 games in 23/24 and pushed us until the end.

The past doesn't play on the pitch. Nothing is set in stone. Anything is possible, including one of us and Arsenal winning multiple trophies this season.

They weren’t fighting for 4 trophies that season though. They were solely focused on the premier league. The exact situation third placed Manchester United find themselves in now
 
Not something id normally watch, but i caught a few minutes of the Premier League show this afternoon

Hasslebaink was on, and the presenter asked him who he was siding with, and he said Arsenal aside he thought they had the better squad, and then referred to their bench and how they can make changes without impacting the team

Am I totally missing something here? I think they've 12 or 13 players, and the rest are very average or inexperienced

Our bench now is full of players who you wouldn't be disappointed to see all start a game

Im not suggesting we will win the league, but as things stand I certainly think we have the better squad now that everyone is fit
 
No midfield= no title
NOR got injured and our midfield went back to default settings and as a result we collapsed.
 
its over, if it was really ever on.
Arsenal can defend, thats why they will win it by some margin.

We have been extremely fortunate to get narrow wins of late, but when you conceed as many chances as you create, you are always going to drop points at some point. The p performance at Leeds and tonight are just not acceptable.

We just have a severe lack of goals in the team with Haaland no longer looking like a goal threat, very little creativity and extremely poor finishing when we do get a chance.

Luckily Villa have collapsed so we look like getting second and CL football but we need far better quality in the squad.

Amount of corners and set pieces we have had, we should be producing more goals from them.
