Not really sadly. Back to back losses would open the door. Possible in this league.

Iā€™d agree if we had a 12-15 point lead. But itā€™s only 4 points off top. And only 6 ahead of City which is very little historically.

On the positive side, it doesnā€™t feel like weā€™ve truly gotten out of 2nd gear year with several players missing and nobody besides Timber or maybe Zubi in moments is really playing out of their skin this season so far. Hopefully weā€™re still only operating at 30-50% of our maximum capability.

It actually happens more than I thought.

Unless you couple it with number of draws, the data would be misleading.

For instance, that 07-08 season was all about draws

I donā€™t think this Arsenal team will have 10 or so draws in this season
It would mean 9 draws in next 29 games

I think we are going to win the league but when everyone starts saying how many losses/draws we will or wonā€™t get and comparing to previous seasons, I am less confident. Anything can happen.

STATUE FOR OPTA!!

just shows how damaging draws are to a league campaign. Theyā€™re not too different than losses imo.

That would be acceptable.

12 draws in the Invincible season says otherwise :smirking_face:

A rough patch will come but hopefully we are too far ahead for it to affect us. I donā€™t see this Liverpool or City team going ten rows in a row.

178

Itā€™s a laughable prediction. Leicester were champions with more than 80 pts.
