As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
Not that surprised Southampton result tonight. Priority for city is CL. Would love to see city give Manure a good hiding, as that will stop them dead in their tracks for our game the following week. I know it would put them within 2 points of us but I see united as more of a threat to us than either spuds and Newcastle. Also, don't mind conceding top spot for a couple of months (Feb/March), take it back in April, as traditionally we are better at chasing the title than leading it.
I am astounded that an Arsenal fan would even think such a thing, never mind actually say/write it!
The damage that such a thing could do to the teams confidence, momentum and levels of performance would be immeasurable.....
I ... I. .........Fucking Speechless.
To clarify our recent history of leading from the top is horrendous 2007/08 we were 7 points clear in March when we played Birmingham that fateful day, lost out by 5points.
2015/16 we were 8 points clear of Leicester after beating them in February and stumbled to a second place finish.
In the time when we won the league 88/89, 90/91, 97/98, 01/02, and even the Invincible season we were in 2nd during Feb/mar and finish strongly to win the title.
The Arsenal I've grown up with perform better when faced with adversity. In Emery season we were 3rd with 4 games left, last season 4th with 3 games left and fell at the last hurdle.
This team has the mental capacity to bounce back, but not hold their nerve with their noses in front.
If you're fucking speechless, read your fucking history.
