Last time Spurs lost to Arsenal at home in PL was 9 years ago but they look such a mess that I wouldn't be surprised to see them get embarassed.
This is actually why I'm confident going into that game. It's a derby, we're overdue one.
I'm looking forward to seeing how we do in these big games now we have obviously the best CM in the world Casemiro in midfield for us. Varane missed most of the big games in the shambles of last season as well so hopefully he's fit for these games as well
If it's too early to say we're out then we're in.
Shouldn’t this be the other way around
Man City are obviously the main reason yes but also we're 9 points off the top. If we had recent pedigree for challenging for titles then the hope would be there but the best we've managed in the last 10 years is 2 long off 1st place 2nd place finishes
Yes... it's late
1-1-1 the last 3 and the loss came when the wheels were off.
It isn't too early to say we're out though. We won't win the league. If we hold on to third, I'll be absolutely delighted.
Not really a fan of that scenario. I see it as
If that happens then I'll be a believer
we've only had easy games because pre World Cup we played all the hard ones, it's not like we've moonwalked into this position without playing anyone of note
And what pedigree of keeping leads(to even 4th at times) do Arsenal have in those last 10 years? I'll change my opinion in a few weeks depending on results! But the Europa shit doesn't help, I'd quite happily make that disappear, but at least we'll know where we sit truly by the time that returns.
Fulham, Brighton and Brentford could pull something magical out of the bag.
well none, which is why no one believes they'll win it
we haven't beaten them at their ground since Ole's caretaker run and that was in the FA Cup before they promptly beat us in the league a few weeks later
If we line up like Newcastle did today I fancy our chances. Bruno finding Rashford on the break in this form would be inevitable the way they're playing...
tbh we've got the team now where we shouldn't feel the need to play defensive when we go to tougher opponents, I don't think that's how ETH wants us to play either. I expect he'll set us up in both the upcoming league games to try and play our own game for better or worse
I mean those two bits of logic kind of overlap. I think might be in it, because you're the ones who are 9 points clear. Not City or Liverpool.
I agree, which is why I said 'if'.
In fairness, better teams than this Arsenal have blown big points gaps before.
If it was anyone other than yourselves and Spurs I'd agree.
