Iâd say Barca are #1 but this season even they have dropped off significantly in that department.
Theyâre also pretty poor defensively.
PSG are a bit overrated in that area.
Sure they smashed Inter in that final but when we played them we created the better chances in both games and they had to thank Donnarumma for putting all timer performances.
Same against Villa.
Then at the Club World Cup they got extremely lucky against Bayern and eventually got slapped by Chelsea.
Maybe Bayern deserves a shout but we saw them when they came to Emirates. Theyâre good but not that good.
Meh, Barca have obviously been an objectively very attractive football team for a while now but ive never been able to stand watching them cos of all the diving and cheating.
they spend more time on the floor and complaining than they actually play football.
Or as @RockyMaivia would call it, FRAUDS??
Obviously, we shouldnât care how we win it, but yes, it does feel a bit like we are winning it by default, assuming we win it.
Most of us are disappointed with the last two results, but we still took the most points in the last 5 games.
Nah all we heard last season was about how Liverpool had made their own luck and were the best team over 38 games etc. That will apply to us too.
I understand people not enjoying the football, feeling frustrated about how we havenât made the most of this run etc. But nah, the most deserving team wins it every time. Thereâs no such thing as default in this league.
Liverpool won a lot of games last season that they shouldnât have.
Bar the opening match against United, I donât recall any game where I came out thinking we were lucky to come out of that game with whatever points we gained.
We are not frauds, we are just not amazing to watch.
For first title in 22 years, I will make do. I would say Teta should think about getting one or two elite attacking players to make that next step of being remembered as an amazing title winning side.
Odd enough, I wonât be surprised if we did a double with this not so amazing team.
Arsenal fans love self-punishment.
For all the banter thrown at the Liverpool fans for last seasonâs win and their COVID cup, do you think they care?
Not a jot.
Letâs not forget the massive Salah carryjob too.
When City won the treble there were debates even up until February and March about them not being the same and handing the title to us. Haaland was was getting blamed for their fall.
Pep himself was giving interviews saying he doesnât recognise his team.
Fast forward a couple months later they made history.
I agree with all your points. But that Wolves game man, that was squeaky.
If we win, I certainly wonât be upset with being a âpoorerâ team to win it.
But I thought he was jealouzzz of Arteta!? ![]()
Again thatâs why I keep saying this âeasier fixtures to comeâ shite is exactly that.
Liverpool hard on paper but well off it this season. Should win at home but always gonna be tough even off form.
Forest this season pretty shit so youâd think despite being away we should win. But theyâve picked up form in December, were top 3 for most of last season and historically get big game results.
Leeds coming up, away, having found form. Not an easy game. Brentford spurs and Brighton all away between mid Feb and mid March. Then wolves, who seem to be picking up form themselves now, away at the end of March.
Where are the easy fixtures? I see none, the gauntlet doesnât stop.
Funny how the quality of the league only comes into question when Arsenal are top⌠itâs arguably harder to get points and score these days compared to any point in time. That doesnât excuse Martinelliâs howler however ![]()
A clean injury record is one of the most unpredictable critical factors in a title race.
Whenever City and Liverpool won the league, they had their key players fit for the majority of the season.
Those cunts have finally suffered some normal (non PED / asthma inhaler enhanced) injuries.
Weâre on target for high 80s, perhaps even 90+ if the team clicks. We absolutely deserve to be 7 points clear. Should be 10 were it not for last minute shit goals against Sunderland and Villa.
Itâs not an average or weak league. Itâs the strongest it has ever, ever been. Teams like Bournemouth, Brighton, Villa, Newcastle, Palace etc are all so hard to beat. The biggest transfer budgets, the best managers and the best players are all fighting for the same limited oxygen in this league.
7 points clear is a magnificent position to be in.
Yeah, I really wouldnât think of us as poor champions if we do end up with the title.
We arenât the most aesthetic oneâs for sure, but definitely not amont the worst oneâs overall.
Our creation is a bit disappointing, but when you look at the whole picture, you have to praise our defensive structure.
There is no doubt we are much better at controlling games than that Liverpool side of last year. We fully deserve the points we got, and with a bit of luck we could have had more no doubt.
I donât think we had many lucky results/wins, while with Liverpool last year so many times I felt things went their way it those crucial moments, in many 50-50 games they played.
We had many ugly wins, but they were fully deserved.
If you go to compare, I donât think weâre a worse team than the last couple of United teams that won the title.
Only arsenal fans would say this about their own team.
There is no such fucking thing.
Did you mean to say âwouldnâtâ instead of âwouldâ?
I know I said it might seem like we are winning it by default but I will take that all day, every day. I donât care how we win it. And I donât care if we are the most boring side to watch as long as we keep winning.
Ffs, yeah, I meant wouldnât lol
My brain works much faster than my fingers when I type lol
And I hate the shitty keyboard on my phone.
