Was never in doubt when Arsenal started to fatigue that we would be in this position. The 2-2 against Liverpool was the starting point of this, then not long after we were in a position in which we just had to win our last nine games or so.

One of those was against them and I knew we would win, but not as resoundingly as we did.

When we need to win a huge amount of games going into a business end of the season to win the title, we always do it without fail and with flair.

The mental fall out from the magnitude of this bottle job plus the rigorous added pressure and fatigue from the champions league next season and I don't think we'll be battling them again. This is going to do some damage to the gunners, such a shame.

Just like Newcastle in 95-96, they couldn't handle the pressure.

Huge shock, this. Really didn't think our run of form nor Arsenal's run of form were possible. This turnaround has been unbelievable, so too has Arsenal's collapse.

Not really.

Many of us believed this would happen.

And a few called us crazy because of it, despite there being plenty of historical data to support it being a potentiality.

Proclamations that it “was over” and “we will never catch them up” were laughable given precedent.

They are even more laughable now.

Many blues will never leave Maine Road, for better or worse.
 
I never thought Arsenal would win the title. Barring the world of all cock ups they won't. If they had been second all season they would be celebrating as they have been fantastic. However, punching above their weight I think. Next season Liverpool may be back and Brexit Jim may buy Ralph Milne
 
The point I knew they’d lost it was when they went 1-0 down at home to West Ham a week or two ago. They went into this huddle but they, particularly Zinchenko, were panicky and shouty. We would be cool and steely eyed at that point early in a big game . You could see their bottle had gone as a whole team.

Fucking A.

Some posters think confidence in this team is based in arrogance, or is ‘rag like’ but it isn’t. It’s based on this being the best group of players ever assembled in this country. And backing them to do what they’ve done before. That seems pretty logical (that word again!) to me.

I guess people can’t help how they are hardwired.

Thanks for that and much appreciated.

Congratulations, Mancs, on another title. I was at the Emirates today and Brighton did a number on us but frankly, I thought they were the better side. We looked jaded and kind of proved my point in countless posts on here from early in the season when I knew we didn’t have the strength of depth to cover injuries to key players. Anyway, no excuses, you have the strongest squad in the league so no surprise. I hope you win the treble by the way and if not, at least squash Man U at Wembley.

Enjoy your summer and for me it’s cricket time now. Hoping Kent can surprise me and do something (unlikely) and more importantly, we win the Ashes!

See you in August.

Your analysis is of course, correct
 
Arsenal couldn't handle the pressure.
Earlier in the season Nelson would have scored 100% and they would have won the match. As they did several times.

Winning when you have to takes much much more. We had our tough moments over the years but we did learn how to get there where we are now, and no team in England is better at that right now.

Hope we can push Real off their high throne next Wednesday.
