The Title Race 2022/23

So you're right. But let's win it anyway.

Absolutely. They're mentally at a low ebb right now. We need to capitalise on that. Beat them, and we'll be two points behind, with two games in hand. And at least 9 goals better off than them on GD. Carpe Diem!

Do think us playing twice a week may be better than sitting around waiting for games - Arsenal have plenty of time to reflect on poor performances and let the pressure build and build.

Not as much time as you think, seems how their matches go on like a fuckin Test Match :-)

At least 10 goals better off even if we beat em 1-0

Sure but I think fatigue means a lot more :)

If you're on a roll the adrenaline can carry you through even if you're knackered. You don't get that from dropping points every week at the crucial stage of the season.

Arsenal's players are down in the dumps according to Arteta, don't let anyone tell you they're happy with a point.

I've never feared this Arsenal team. Always was confident we would win this title.
Would be a shame if we didn't, best team in each country should win that league and by a distance, we are the best team in England.
I was listening to a bookie on the radio saying a few weeks ago that City were 11/8 and the pundits saying its probably over, Arsenal have it. This was around the time they were blowing teams like Palace and Leeds away at home, after an easy run of fixtures. I just thought to myself - 11/8 is a crazy price, we could actually win it quite comfortably come May

Their defence is poor. Since we put 3 past them they've conceded 2 to United, Villa and Bournemouth - got out of jail in all those games with late winners.
2 to Liverpool and West Ham and 3 tonight.
Not good enough

Look at this - the table ordered by goals conceded since Feb 14th (ie since the day before our match at the Emirates)

Only 3 teams in the league conceding more goals in the last 9 weeks.

arsenal are a very good team, we are better, changing the formation and shape slowed us down abit at the beginning of the season but now its clicked, still going to be a monumental effort to win the league and we will need luck with injuries, keep going blues,one game at a time.

 

[ford7]

Fuck that we need a win!

We need to destroy them!

9. We're seven better than them as of now....

Must feel like a win for Arsenal that..89 mins and 2 down! Obvious it was going to happen but a loss would have sunk them mentally

IMO?
No, not at all. It’ll feel like 1 point rescued at the death from a disaster….that’s still a disaster.

They’ll be ashamed, deservedly so..and so they ought to.

If not then we’re laughing because they’re not professional.
