2025/26 Season

Yeah I'm not following that line of thought anymore. I dont care if the team buys the prem. What I care about is a **** team like arsenal who constantly think they're the best team ever created, whos fans constantly sing about us like we're they're only rivals, steal our songs, and have such a ****** of a manager. I'd like them to go the way of UTD and never win anything for as long as possible.

We were 10 points clear in december and lost it. Not saying we have a hope, but I'm hoping arsenal lose it to someone else.

Depends on who that someone else is for me.


If it is a choice between a club spending/existing on it's own means like Arsenal or a financially doped club like Man City or Chelsea, then I would prefer Arsenal.


I might not be able to stand Arteta as a manager and do not like the cynical way he has Arsenal playing, but for me they are still a proper club.

Well, by losing it you mean we lost one game all season, drew a couple in Jan/Feb, won the last 9 games and ended up with 97 points

There's no one this season who will likely push Arsenal near 90 points, let alone 95+

In reality, they need to come back to the field with the winner ending up with a mid 80s points total for us to have a shot

they have a 5 point advantage, and a 9 point one on us.
Every team that has had 6 or more points advantage at this stage of the season has won the league.

We can probably afford to drop another 6 points. Wouldhappily take top 4 at this stage.

I think people are putting the chicken before the cart, or whatever the saying is.

1 The season is only 13 games in. Arsenal are in the position every other team would want to be in and they have so far been playing far more consistently well than their rivals, but it wouldn't be a disgrace if they lost soon and that would reduce their lead to 2 points which is nothing at this stage of the season. So it is far too soon to say if they don't win it it will be "the mother of all meltdowns".

2 Liverpool won yesterday and every recovery needs to start somewhere, but West Ham are a poor side and they played particularly badly on Sunday, even for them. It was great to see our players looking to chase down players and trying to press, but the midfielders still looked exhausted from the off (Macca in particular struggled, although he did take a hit on his leg in the first half), the press was a bit of a mess, we missed chances in the first half and in the second half we did not have the control we had in the first half. We need to be much better if we are to beat better teams. So it feels very early to be talking about if we win the next 7 games.

What I would say though is that, if we can rediscover the things that currently we have lost, we are very capable of putting together a long run of wins. But we are miles from that at the moment....though in a better place than we were before Sunday.

Arsenals fixtures between now and when we play them are:

Brentford home
Villa away
Wolves h
Everton a
Brighton h
Villa h
Bournemouth a

Cmon Villa!!!

[BigChief]

We need to have some ****in run to get back into it.

We got to Arsenal on the 8th of January. Between now and then, we play:

Sunderland h
Leeds a
Brighton h
Spurs a
Wolves h
Leeds h
Fulham a

And then go to Arsenal. We obviously have the players to beat any of those teams and you never know. My heart says we can ****in do it. But my head says "West ham were ****in ****e so it is hard to judge how we really played yesterday"

I made a similar comment on this run before the forest and CL games, which we were both atrocious in. I've lost all faith now.

[frank the tank]

If we were to win all those games though, then we will surely go to arsenal and be able to put them under pressure in that game. They will try to set piece their way to the title but if we got to within 5 points of them between now and the time we play them, hopefully Isak and Wirtz are fully up go speed then and we can hurt them.

The fact that we’ve lost (until today) 6 out of seven in the League but are somehow only 4 points behind second place is mind blowing.

And only 9 points behind arsenal, it’s mad, the league could look completely different by the end of January.

Yep! Will take the mother of all meltdowns for Arsenal to blow this season, even for them

This is an interesting, respectful and delicate discussion around the grieving process that we are witnessing.
