I really believe Arsenal will collapse because Arteta is too emotional
Eventually it'll feed its way through to the players

We said that about Leicester mate, I hope you are right but they are getting last gasp winners like we did a few years ago, never say die attitude, until it’s mathematically impossible I won’t give up hope, Spurs away then playing them are huge games now.

Arsenal remind me of the Leicester season everyone expecting them to fade, unfortunately it will be down to the 2 games we have against them if we win both we win the league but it's a massive IF

They look good. Two brilliant wingers and a good striker with Gabby to come back. Odegard and Partey in midfield. Decent back 4 and shot stopper. They are adding to the bench. I like the football they are playing (I wonder who they are emulating? )
they look quicker in transition than we do just now and are scoring bloody good goals. I thought Zinc was there most effective player yesterday, I wouldn’t be surprised if his pass completion was close to 100%. He stitches them together and is almost a deep lying quarterback with regular attacking moves too. I perceive he is treated differently at Arsenal than he was with us. There he is someone with PL medals and is looked up to. With us although very popular I always got the impression he was treated as a ’junior’ member of the squad.
It looks just now like they will go all the way having gained three point on us in fixtures with Spuds and United. We cannot afford to drop a single point and must win against them at their place on 15th Feb. Somehow we have to put pressure on them and see how they cope. At the end of the day they deserve to be where they are playing attractive fast attacking football. We need to step up and improve to beat them.

Zinch has turned into their de facto leader on the pitch.
I hope he doesn't turn into fucking Milner and start dissing us.
If he plays Friday we need to get in his face.
No room for sentiment now, he's clearly nailed his colours to another mast
That's not to say we shouldn't give him a warm welcome off the pitch..but once we cross the white line...

Arsenal will win it unless we can rediscover our form and go on a winning run, which includes beating them twice. Their squad isn't great, but it doesn't have to be. They can throw the Europa League as they'll be in the CL at least next season, and it's not worth sacrificing a title challenge over. Odegaard, Saliba and Saka are key to their chances. One injury there and they could struggle, but we thought they might without Jesus and they've been fine.
It's theirs for the taking, even with a drop off, because we're unlikely to win 10+ in a row or beat them twice unless there's a dramatic change and the players rediscover their fight.
Having said that, if I was Pep I'd be showing them the Villa game and showing them the guard of honour for Liverpool and saying which one would you rather feel at the end of the season, because it's still very much up to you. Arteta is helping make Arsenal very unlikeable with his flapping about on the touchline and our games with them will have an extra edge in the master v apprentice bill which the media will jump all over. I think Arsenal's game plan is pretty obvious and pretty rigid. I'm sure Pep will have an answer for it.
