A stat around on twitter, the 4 losses out of 5 games hasn't happened to Arsenal since 1995.

Also in the past month we've won only two games, Sutton and Lincoln.

Not only did it feel like watching Liverpool, but you've literally played like Liverpool through Jan+Feb lol

No, explain the logic behind it. Lots of people say that kind of thing, blindly, without even thinking about it.

But be honest, you're a footballer, your goal in football is to train to be better in matches, and play as well as you can in matches. Wenger is your manager, if Wenger or someone else is your manager next year... how does that change your on pitch performance?

Been hearing that kind of stuff about how it effects performances, but it's just a generic thing commentators/pundits say, there is zero logic behind it.

Yes, they may think about it, maybe a new manager will want to sell them, but maybe Wenger will want to move them on next year anyway, that is a normal part of life for a footballer. The same way a fight with the wife, or a sick kid, or a death in the family effect all footballers. It's a fight every game to put everything else out of your mind and perform your best.

What are you talking about DM? lol...this is so mad. What is happening now around the club is not good for it, how can you argue the other way? i literally don't understand.
 
Jesus, looking at the table, Arsenal, wow. 19 points behind Chelsea with a single game in hand, so still 16 points, pitiful. I did mention multiple times how woeful Arsenal had been against the top 8 and how few such games we had played, that our position was unnaturally high and we have more games left against top 8 sides than others.

After playing Liverpool, Chelsea, Watford, Hull and West Brom since I said that, we've picked up just 3 points and fallen massively behind any kind of fight for the title. We were second, I think 8 points behind Chelsea maybe with a game in hand and people were banging on about if we beat Chelsea we could really go for it, the reality hitting and we go from 8 to 19 points behind, not closing the gap.

Utd are now only a point behind but with a further game in hand. Liverpool have played a game more but are 5 points ahead, 6 points behind City and Spurs who have played the same number of games as us.

We're effectively 6th at the moment, with Everton on the same points as us but played 2 games more. However with City next and Southampton and a resurgent Leicester rescheduled games to play, I see us moving into Everton's grasp as opposed to closing back in on 4th place.
 
Another 3 points for Everton and Man U down to 7th. Lots of games in hand but everyone knows points on the board are far more valuable. Also only behind Arsenal on goal difference. Their meltdown has been Liverpool-esque.
 
Tell you who is a complete knob, Martin 'Two footed tackles are A OK' Keown.

Got to be one of the worst commentators out there, if not the worst.

Playing against a team of thugs trying to get him off. We dealt with them just the lot earlier in the week. Eight to go and the title is in sight.

the position change could actually help Utd mentally tomorrow (even though games are in hand) especially given Arsenal lost too

Uts even have a few fresh creative / attacking legs as well in Lingard and Rashford which migh help counter the new manager performance lift most teams get
 
I read something on twitter about how Stoke's defence were trying every trick in the book to get Costa sent off - the same book that Costa co-wrote.
