The Title Race 25/26

Arsenal will have a wobble.

They will, but there's nobody good enough to take advantage. It'll be like last season but with them instead of us.

I know, but I don't trust Arteta to not do something a bit mad to teach his players a lesson about only pissing though your fly without unbuttoning your jeans.

This weekend was a good start - we closed the gap to Arsenal by 3 points. If we can keep doing that we've got a good chance of retaining the title.

This is bait

Arsenal will literally be top from now until the end of the season. If people were moaning about last season being boring, this year will be another level. At least we played decent footy for much of last year. Arsenal will win the league by virtue of lumping in a load of corners and playing 6 centre backs every game.

We need to keep winning until Arsenal wobble, and that wobble needs to be before Jan.

We then need to win at the Emirates.

Do these things, and anything can happen in the run in. But we have an uphill battle until that game. We then have to strengthen in Jan, and find a system without Mo.

I think they only way they'll have a wobble is to have a couple of draws. They're too good defensively to concede a load of goals and drop a significant number of points. I could maybe see the goals drying up if people learn to fucking defend corners. But teams don't even have shots against them, nevermind score a few goals. Can't see it.

Arsenal are still Arsenal. They're not winning shit

They're walking the league this year. Maybe even the Champions League. If teams can just remember to mark and clear the ball when it gets lumped into their box then they might drop points, but that seems an utterly alien notion at the moment.

Not that I want City to win the league, but it would be pretty hilarious if Arsenal finished second again.

I'd prefer city winning the league.

City winning it is infinitely more beneficial than Arsenal winning it

They should but it would be delicious if they didn’t.

Would hate City to overtake them only to be docked enough points for Arsenal to win it anyway.

Next weekend is crucial

Arsenal will walk it

Arteta’s Arsenal? No fucking chance…

 

[Squiggles]

I don't think Arsenal will walk it, despite having them down as favourites. I think they're mentally ready to do so after finishing second for many years, and they've covered the gaps in the attack which hindered them so drastically last year, with Saka and Odegaard's injuries. They're ability to see out a clean sheet so regularly and nod in a corner is boring, but very effective. Hopefully, if we buck up our ideas, we can throw some spanners into the works. Haaland's form means City won't be far off either.
