Gunnersaurus Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 The pressure is gonna be more intense for the second half of the season. At the beginning of the season we were aiming for top 4 we weren't thinking about winning the league at all. We should really get that now with a 13 point gap to fourth. But now we are 1 game from half way through the season with an 8 point gap. If we were comfortably in the top 4 but had no chance of winning the league there wouldn't be pressure. But when you are in the position we are in even if there is no outside pressure, the players are gonna wanna win it now and so there will be personal pressure that they put on themselves. The fact is though is that we have only dropped 10 points all season. If we drop around another 12 points to the end of the season we will have a very good chance. So really if we can keep the form up we have a good chance.

Gundogan is getting replaced by Bellingham, id be happy with him, Leao & Gvardiol this summer. Phillips has been injured all season so not had a chance yet

Subscriber Dan+ Posted January 17, 2023 Subscriber Posted January 17, 2023 I don't see any stopping Arsenal. People saying about the gap to close but I think it'll widen further if anything. I think they're the real deal. Arteta's doing exceptional things.

Only dropped points twice all season. They're going to take some stopping even without that. They've lost Jesus and they're still on fire. There's an inevitability about them this season. I never had any doubt they'd win at Spurs.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted January 17, 2023 Subscriber Posted January 17, 2023 I really would like Arsenal to win it but I think it wont be City undoing them. It's the other teams looking to climb the ladder that start getting desperate and pushing for draws that might actually cause more of an upset at the top. This is that part of the season where you either get it right or it all goes to shit.
Cicero Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Just a matter of how long Odegaard can stay fit.
OrangeKhrush Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 I am getting a semi for Crystal Palace winning it all
6666 Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Man City beat Tottenham tomorrow (which is likely) and they're only 5 points behind. If we drop points against Man Utd on Sunday (which is very possible) and Man City then beat Wolves (which is likely) then Man City are only 2 or 3 points behind us. We'd have a game in hand but 2 or 3 points ahead with a game in hand doesn't sound like a massive advantage especially with us needing to play Man City twice. That's why I'd still have Man City as favourites. If Man Utd drop points today, Tottenham do us a favour tomorrow, and then we beat Man Utd... that might make things comfortable.

This is why I'm still cautious. I'm 55% man city 45% arsenal. We could quite easily go on a bad run and that lead could be wiped out. The players are under more presure now because of having a good chance of winning it. They weren't under that pressure before. People call it bottling it but to perform at your best under that pressure is very hard. Champions league is almost certian, which was the aim at the beginning of the season. But we have every right to be disappointed if we dont win it now. But at the same time that doesn't mean we should expect to and regard not winning it as failure.

Eco Posted February 8, 2023 Posted February 8, 2023 I hope Arsenal win as my Pop is a fan. Other than that I'm not too sure, but I hope Manchester City don't win it this year, and from the sounds of the ongoing investigation, they may not even be allowed to win it.

It won't be sorted out by the end of the season. It took 4 years of investigation so it will take a long time. Whether they will strip city of previous titles I don't know but it won't be this season that we know

I do think Newcastle will finish above them though as they have to play them at home.

OrangeKhrush Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 it remains arsenals to lose. the Goodison upset was a once off and I expect arsenal to coast like max Verstappen the final 10 races. while I would absolutely love a Tyneside fairy tale come from behind, it won't happen and I am on board with arsenal winning it, good club, big tradition and a massive fan base. Arsenal are also proof you don't need massive money to win.

And about £175m this season alone . Jesus, Zinchenko, Vieira, Trossard, Kiwior, Jorginho, Marquinhos. Yeah they were signings they've needed, but they've spent massive money. What a bizarre comment.

Arsenal are also proof you don't need massive money to win. their spending was done on the back of a plan, they built a foundation then put the pieces together. compared to their rivals it is not that bad.
