If you look at the points we dropped in draws to Forest (a) and Everton (h), both games we were winning and completely in charge of, then the title would already be retained.
We are so much better than the rest of this league, if only we could sort out Spurs and Scousers away we would be out of sight.

Newcastle have certainly bottled their last two matches.People asking were Arsenal just not good enough, or did they bottle it...
Well, why can't it be both?
They've got some very good players (Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Ramsdale at times), but a load of mid-table dross also. They shouldn't have been up there challenging and they were massively overachieving, but the results of late and the dropoff in performance have suggested bottling it a bit tbh.
A bit like people suggesting Newcastle bottled the league under Keegan - they had a defence with Darren Peacock, John Beresford and Warren Barton in it. They should never have been up there in the first place.
