They don't though. They can lose to those two and draw with us, and still be in front.
The script doesn't really matter that much. We need to keep winning our games, and beat them head to head. Then things get interesting.

Next three games are crucial win them and its very much game on. If however, Arsenal beat us in Feb, it's game over and the concentration will be on Europe.They don't though. They can lose to those two and draw with us, and still be in front.

We can’t win it every year and I’d far rather this lot won’t it than United or Liverpool.
Amazing first half of the season and deservedly top of the table. They seem to have a really good mentality in the dressing room too.
If they are top after 38 games then they deserve it, but anyone who writes our team off at this stage hasn’t been paying attention for the last few seasons.
They’ll have an iffy patch at some point and it’s up to us to be apply
maximum pressure when they do. It’s certainly perfectly feasible that the weight of expectation will get to them, and if not, then fair play to them, they’ll have deserved it.
Either way, I think it’s going to be interesting. Can’t agree with City fans who prefer a procession to a tight race. For me, chasing someone down, or being chased down, is what it’s all about. Give me 2018/19 over 2017/18 anytime.

Watching the end of their game yesterday they were very pumped up at the final whistle , obviously a last minute winner can do that but the title race hadn’t really started yet and they are acting like they are winning games in the run in
Thats the city effect, teams fear us so much that they all believe it won’t take too much for us to click into gear and goon a run , they know they may just have to be perfect , stretching every sinew to get over the line
it Must be mentally exhausting for teams , we have broken Liverpool twice after closely run title races and they were far and away better than this Arsenal side. We just need to keep applying the pressure and wait for the miss step
if we manage to re take the lead at any point I think they are done
kind of like how we felt when losing to Swansea back in 2012
keep believing , keep pushing and we will win this title

Yup. Arsenal win 1 of those games against us and it's pretty much game over. It's not defeatist to be realistic about our title chances. If we get into the high 80s/low 90s point wise, the team has done good no matter the final position IMO.

Arsenal's next 2 are Everton away, Brentford home. Football aint played on paper but that looks a sure as certain 6 points to me. Arsenal wont throw away 3 points against Brentford like we did.
We have spuds away and villa at home. Spuds away has been a cursed game for us for a few years now, if we pick up a win there then i will believe. If we drop points, arsenal can afford to probably lose against us and still be in a comfortable position.
Need to just keep winning and keep them within reach by the time we play them. If we win our next 3 they will have a wobble, i'm sure of it.

Our league season needs to work on a simple assumption from this point: if we drop points before Arsenal do then they've won it.

The fact that some of the lads on here were buzzing that we got 32m for Zinchenko tells you all you need to know. Those lads should stop watching Football immediately. Football isn't the Sport for them.
