The Title Race 2022/23

[Bluesince1979]

Arsenal have avoided plenty of banana skins this season. Those last minute goals or saves against Bournemouth, Villa, Utd, Liverpool etc. Which is why they aren't out of it yet.

I agree, but the pressure on arse increases ten fold after each of our wins

Hope im wrong Arsenal will win easily.The genius will set West ham up deep to frustrate.As soon as Arsenal score he will not be able to change the mindset.

Look at his record against top 4 sides. Just put Arsenal on 76pts now. He’s a joke.

no fucking way this shower of shit WHU gets anything vs Arse. also putting bet on Arse up HT & winning FT.

unfortunately what we did vs Forest away, Everton at home, Brentford at home, which all should have been simple 3 points, and we collected total of 2 point from these. add that 7 points to our tally now and this would such a great league campaign with Arteta really being under shit hot pressure now.
would also add the derby game where 1-0 up and we concede that joke of an offside goal but there was no need to concede another one in 5 mins.
add the Villa away game too where 1-0 up we failed to win and that was still the shit Villa under Gerrard not this pretty dangerous mid table team on their day Emery created from them.
Arsenal more or less had only one of these games, the one Dyche just took over them and grinded a win at home.

for us to win the title we would need to rely on Arsenal having 1 or 2 of these results where they are fully expected to win and they dont. but WHU away and Soton home their next two, guess what 6 points and probably +7 GD change overall. and they will be 9 points ahead when they come to the Etihad on the 26th. unreal pressure on us mentally.

worst thing happened for us they threw the Sporting EL tie, having those Thursday games for them was needed imo.
look at United, they played Seville another setback mentally to have 2-0 turned into 2-2 and Varane, Martinez out both for 4/5 weeks with injuries.
imagine Arsenal losing Xhaka or Saka out to injury due to playing some extra EL games. we ca get any injury playing Bayern.

Didnt they play their normal game against us at the Emirates?

True but it was quite an even game that could've gone either way. I don't think 3-1 fairly reflected the game.

We need West Ham to start well,like they did last season when they drew 2-2 with us close to the end of the season,if I remember correctly they went 2-0 up,same again Hammers.

End of the season is the time to analyse the what should have beens. But you forgot the worst one which was our display at Spuds.

It’s a common trait of fans to consider dropped points against struggling teams truly pivotal while forgetting that their rivals have done pretty much the same. Arsenal also dropped points at home to Brentford and their results at Everton and Southampton make no sense in the grand scheme of things. All part of the nuances of every season and more often than not it’s part of the fabric of a title race.
People just tend to get tunnel vision and only remember their own team’s slip ups.

They absolutely have but it’s a different beast when it’s squeaky bum time.

More chance of Maradona resurrecting and doing a line on the pitch.
