Obviously all of what you've said is wrong, just think about it. Young talented team, young talented manager. What does youth bring? Inexperience. And that leads to spikes in emotions and inconsistent performances. Experience tends to temper that.

You disagree with my opinion, I’ll question your facts. Name your inexperienced first team players.

’still early in our cycle’ - what the f*ck does that mean? Also, not sure about a calmer mindset with Arteta in charge. Your team, and staff, are over emotional. If you don‘t win the league this year, you’re done.

No way arsenal are done if they lose the title this season. Maybe if key players get poached but if they keep their stars they’ll only improve. Also, they are playing the best football in the league this season in my opinion. Doesn’t mean they’ll pip us to the title as we’ve been here and done it before and Pep knows how to get over the line in the league. But to suggest it’s now or never for Arsenal is wrong. If you’d said that about Liverpool however I’d totally agree. Think they are done!

Arsenal had the youngest team in the Premier League over the last two seasons. They're now joint third youngest.

There are only a handful of players who've won league titles, and half the squad have the Community Shield as their biggest honour won so far.

I'd expect this side to get better over the next couple of seasons.

I think that'd mean Arsenal only getting one point from their next two games, along with us winning our next two. The latter is quite likely, but I can't see the former happening.

Be nice to win it at spurs though. Horrible club, been a graveyard in the league for us. Would make the walk to Seven Sisters very bearable indeed

They'll be celebrating it nearly as much as us if that happens.

Seriously doub that.

And If we are in a position to win it at Spurs, then we can’t also be in a position to lose it at Spurs.

Now that would be brilliant, I’ve said before I think that game is what decides the title, going of our record there recentLyon the league even us just scoring would be an achievement

Yeah i think we win both our games leading up to Spurs and i really can't see arsenal dropping points now. That game is the big one and we win that, i think we win the league. Spurs have chelsea away and liverpol away and im hoping by the time we play them they are knackered and out of the top 4 race.

Either team that misses out will have a psychological blow to get over.

Arsenal keep winning their games, they keep setting the pace and going top. But they know if we win our games, it is for nothing, and that loss to Villa could be it. We keep winning ours, knowing it is in our hands, and we have a game more to overtake them. We still have to win it though and get the points on the board.

Both teams can also feel proud of their effort. Both have kept going and going and both have been determined.

That's an interesting point.

I wonder how significant the blow would be for us. We've challenged again regardless of what happens in the end. It seems wrong to question it, but could we challenge again next season having won 4 in a row? With the Euro's and a core of players who will have won it so many times can they go yet again? I think we'd need a big summer to bring in fresh blood to keep that drive and attitude. I don't question the players, you simply can't with what they've achieved. But just a small drop in hunger and desire is enough, and would that come having won 4 in a row? I don't know. I know we'll go again naturally if we miss out this season, that's the character of this team. And we'd have the FA Cup to get something out of our season still.

For Arsenal, they'll have to deal with yet another long campaign with CL football as well and whilst they're on an upward trajectory regardless, can they push on again? It's a young team going in the right direction but do they have the characters to drive them over the line?

It is a great discussion to have, and one I will look forward to.

But for now, I am happy to watch this season out before letting myself think about the next one.

I AM conscious, that if we win the next four games in a row, this time next year we Could all be singing Edin Dzeko..

But............ Wolves first.

Yeah, it wouldn't be a blow to us at all. Not in a meaningful way. The lads are a handful of games away from doing something that has never been done before and will likely never be done again. This is a "bonus" season. If they fall short they dust themselves off and go again knowing they were far from their best this season and still got close.

Getting close and falling short broke Liverpool. I don't see why it won't break Arsenal. They need a major trophy and quickly. Arteta has been there ages.

It didn't break Liverpool, they won it the following year, and challenged again a couple years after, and again this year.

So far our guys have not been affected by the pressure of the run-in, our dropped points came earlier. So far, neither have Arsenal really, Villa aside. One game at a time and if it is down to the last day with us still in control, brilliant.

I seriously doubt that.

They will, of that I have no doubt. It's unlikely but if Arse drop points either against Bournemouth or the rags and we beat both Wolves and Fulham then a win against Spurs will seal the title. Spurs fans will have no qualms about cheering us at the final whistle if results go our way, none whatsoever.
