You should never slice a horse horizontally, it's a mess. Choose between the head or the arse.If we are the .5 , which half of the horse are we? The legs or the remainder?

If you listen to their fans though, they're still thinking of how they can bottle top 4Stick a fork in this one. They’ve got the title in the bag.
They're only five points ahead of City and still have to go to the Etihad. Arsenal are favourites for the title now but it isn't over yet.Stick a fork in this one. They’ve got the title in the bag.
18 more points needed to be absolutely sure of top four though. Finished on 75 twice, just to miss out on gd.Top 4 secured I'd say. Mathematically can't get relegated either. Good season.
I don't get every point dropped as being labelled as bottling either. Forget all the other factors that go into winning a football game, its not as fun as rival fans being able a rival team as bottlers.Not backing Arsenal, but it's interesting how those that are quick to accuse of bottling stuff say absolutely nothing about the constitution shown in taking losses and bumps in the road and using them as springboards to streak resets.
Whether they win the league or not, they've shown that they are serious contenders with the way they constantly bounce back after defeats.

By the time they play each other, Arsenal could be more than 5 points ahead given that City may have games postponed as a result of the FA Cup. I think if they win all their games up to Leeds at home, I really can't see them losing from there; but stranger things have happened in this league.They're only five points ahead of City and still have to go to the Etihad. Arsenal are favourites for the title now but it isn't over yet.
I hate it and it's stupid. The culture at a club has a very important part to play in a team's performance on the pitch.Bottling is one of these annoying labels thrown at every team as soon as they don't win something.
I never got this. Say Arsenal never played these extra games. There’s no way it would lessen our need to win our games anyway. What difference does it make?We will be 14 pts behind before we play Liverpool - due to their 3 games since we faced Leicester.
No way we have even a small chance from here. 14 pts, even with 2 in hand is too much.
Don't agree, I think it's unlikely we will win obviously but if we can stay 8 points or less behind with 9 games to go adjusting for games in hand we have a decent chance looking at their fixturesWe will be 14 pts behind before we play Liverpool - due to their 3 games since we faced Leicester.

The trouble with that Palace game is our heads were in the shed in that last few mins knowing Casa missed Arsenal game. Annoyingly the poor bloke very nearly win it for us with virtually last kick of the game.It'll be something amazing if we managed to win the title, but the kind of run we'd have to go on is just too much.
I don't see Arsenal not getting 85~ points. They have 13 games left and could get that 85+ points (which I really think wins the league this season) with a record of 8W 2D 3L even... (86 points). I know it's different when it's the run in, there's more pressure, it's a younger side... They might have more mid-week games with Europa that that haven't had to consider for a few months etc. But it's still asking them to drop points in 5-6 games out of 13 IMO, when they only dropped points in 6 out of the previous 25.
City might remain inconsistent, but no one will be surprised if they go on a run of 10 wins and beat Arsenal in that run either. We could pip them to second if we stay in this form and they don't.
We probably need a minimum 12 wins from our 14 remaining matches to have a sniff, to get us in contention for that 85-86 mark. I'm probably still somewhat pessimistic due to previous seasons even though I fully believe in EtH and these players. I'm still looking over our shoulders if we lose to Liverpool. It's still on a knife edge to me...
We can't afford injury to quite a few of our first XI as the drop off is so massive as seen against West Ham.
We will likely rue the late goals conceded to Palace and Arsenal in particular if we finish 2nd/3rd within a couple of results, but hopefully that makes us focus more and have a real go at it next season.
Yeah I wanted us to be team that broke it tooI think on balance I'd rather the cheating blue bastards win it this season because 1. nobody cares if they win it 2. it's even more meaningless now because they're proven cheating bastards 3. I'd rather United break the Liverpool/City/Chelsea deadlock on the league of the last decade than Arsenal, especially because the cnuts have done it in the right way (backing the manager, playing nice football, young team) 4. Arteta is a goober
As much as I feel the same, it would be City getting three in a row in the record books regardless. Don't want that. Only we can have that.I think on balance I'd rather the cheating blue bastards win it this season because 1. nobody cares if they win it 2. it's even more meaningless now because they're proven cheating bastards 3.

They still have to do it twice to match usAs much as I feel the same, it would be City getting three in a row in the record books regardless. Don't want that. Only we can have that.
Yeah did what we couldn't against LeedsIt's between Arsenal and City.
You wouldn't have expected both sides to drop points today. Psychologically that must've felt like a big moment for Arsenal though, to come from two behind to win.
That and the Villa one hitting the bar then in off Martinez head. Just insane luck. Their name is on the trophy.That is 3rd 90th min Winner this year for them. It is their season and if they bottle from here surely major questions have to be asked.
Tell me about it, I'm too old for this.Arsenal fans are having an absolute rollercoaster ride this season…they seem to always be seconds away from coming off the tracks…but then manage to somehow keep going.
If that's what they wanted to do they could've made it much easier for my heart if they had kindly given one of the 10 handball calls against us.Convinced now the officials will do whatever they need to to keep them going. Call the 50/50s their way, make sure they keep the momentum when they're attacking, give whatever injury time is needed to score. It's all being setup for the revival story.
You've had about 5 questionable VAR calls in recent games go your wayIf that's what they wanted to do they could've made it much easier for my heart if they had kindly given one of the 10 handball calls against us.
