I didn't lose though

but you are not fighting for anything either

Jeshurun101:
I pray make Arsenal win am before cos I no want Mancity's dominance but na una mouth and pride make me back off. How Arsenal fans go dey disrespect pple wey don win European trophies because Arsenal dey in form? I even pray make Chelsea lose tomorrow. If Chelsea' lose tomorrow go cost them champion league spot, I dont care as long as it will make Mancity win the league.

good luck to them

If you listen to most pundits right now, the outlook for Arsenal winning the Premier League is… bleak, to put it mildly.

There’s a growing sense that this might be another season where promise flatters to deceive. Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have built something exciting—but pundits keep pointing to the same cracks that tend to show up when the pressure hits its peak.

First, there’s the issue of experience. Compared to relentless title machines like Manchester City, Arsenal still look like a side learning on the job. When the margins get razor-thin in April and May, that lack of battle-hardened composure can be the difference between lifting the trophy and quietly finishing second.

Then there’s squad depth. Injuries or dips in form to key players—whether it’s Bukayo Saka carrying too much attacking burden or Martin Ødegaard being tightly marked—tend to expose how thin things can get. Over a 38-game season, especially with European commitments, that’s a huge red flag.

Defensively, while improved, there’s still a lingering doubt. One or two lapses in concentration in big games—and pundits argue this Arsenal side still has those moments—can undo weeks of good work. Champions don’t just win well; they win ugly, and Arsenal haven’t consistently shown that ruthless edge.

And psychologically, the scars are still fresh. Falling short in previous title races has created a narrative—fair or not—that when the pressure mounts, Arsenal wobble. Until they prove otherwise, critics will keep leaning into that storyline.

So the verdict? Talented, entertaining, and close—but not quite there. According to many pundits, unless something dramatically changes, Arsenal may once again find themselves looking up at the summit rather than standing on it.

If it stays like this, the title is more or less in City’s hands. It’s theirs to lose. They just need to win all their remaining games. Na now we go see whether Pep is truly the genius everyone calls him 😀

He is a genius. He has done it before and will repeat it

Oya cry for me

ajalawole:
oga leave salaye.. are they not arsenal players. I can bet with my life all those players you mentioned will still be at arsenal next season instead of selling them to reinforce the team.

let's wait and see but again Liverpool that bought different forms of Lamborghini, Ferrari....etc , where are they?

Doyou2019:
Unbeaten in 11 no mean say Arsenal no go beat you. Go ask Sporting with dem yeye home statistics.

When we play you, we smash those records you hold dear

you were saying...

I was surprised to see him replace Maduekwe with a school boy in a game of that magnitude when Arsenal were loosing. Agree, Maduekwe is a player without sense but he is better being on the pitch than that innocent boy. That game was too big for him.

that school boy gets me laughing....
They want his to make history as being the youngest player to win EPL bro, now is backfire. Everything about this arsenal backfire on them. If lampard win championship 🏆 I won't even rate anteta again at all as a young coach. Give febrigas same arsenal and he will do wonders with them.

If una never use chatgpt or other ai engine, una nor go fit compose simple sentence?

Sccarrr:
how can they form injury if they are not truly injured na and how is Arteta the weapon that fashion against Arsenal when we were no where near greatness for more than 15 years before Arteta came on board? suddenly he is the worst thing to ever happen to Arsenal....some of una sef 😹

No whyne me cos am old enough to know who is doing well or not. This near success syndrome is enough, Wenger won epl title at least.
Liverpool won this league easily last season whenever it's Arsenal chance to get the job done na so so nearly every year.
Sack that Arteta cos Emery wasn't given this chances.

For your information I have been an Arsenal fan since 2005 of pires,bergkamp,Henry ,viera and co so please put little bit of respect in your response.

Pacesetter123:
Arsenal sorry..oooo!!


The only help we can help you guys to recover and win this league is for us to collect Man City 3 full points like this tomorrow Sunday.
We go so beat Man City blue, black,red, and wetin no good tomorrow.
But there is a price for una to pay.
Una go give 1 white hen,7 blue tortoise,2 blue she-goat,10 keg of palmwine,and 7 tubers of blue yam.
When Arsenal provides the above items,we go so beat Man City mercilessly for them.

Even with those items you listed man city will pummel Chelshit 😆😆 wetin no good.

Make una calm down Chelsea and Arsenal get the same spiritual problem following them

From quadruple to triple
From triple to double
From double now to trouble

Sccarrr:
Saka , Timber, Calafiori, Odegard ,Hincapie...make we go on?

See nonsense excuses, so all the players that arsenal bought is of no use?

Sccarrr:
Odegard came back after been out for months and you expect him to be exceptional in matter of days🥺🤭, na like that den dey regain form??😂..and Saka crucial goal against Brighton gave us 3 points, he single handledly gave us another against Wolves and many more evn though he is currently struggling, how is he not making difference?...they are the reason we are here right now cos they worked their socks off even with all the challenges and not any yeye luck like you implied........

when Liverpool won it last season with long margin ,other teams were not poor😹😹, City won it back to back for several years, other teams were not poor...... now its Arsenal, suddenly they are now poor....abeg go sit-down.

You are just contradicting yourself here and there even when you have stated the obvious facts. No one says Saka and Odeggard have not been good. The fact is that they are presently not good probably due to injuries like you stated and that is one the reasons they wont win the league. Their best players are washed and they do not have the quality at this crucial time.

Yes, liverpool won by a good margin cus other teams were not good enough. They were extremely lucky to win comfortably. This time, arsenal would have been lucky too but mancity reinforced during the last window and they have some players that have now recovered fully from injury. They are the best in england at the moment. If you doubt me, go and watch their last two matches. They have 95% chances of winning the league. They are unlikely to loose any of their remaing fixtures. They will batter Arsenal again for sure.

I have now agreed that Arsenal lacks the capacity to be a champion

Jeshurun101:
U think say Arsenal na team? The day Chelsea and Manunited go return to their old form, Arsenal go go back to fighting for top 4.

let me pray for you first...
God bless you bro.
Injury and mismanagement put those teams you mentioned where they are today.. if abramovich was still in Chelsea they won't be in this forms, even those they are not doing bad under the new owner, same things with united too. Only those that started watching football will argue with you on what you said. Have been a Chelsea fans since 2000 and I don't panic in game of football at all. I always wait till final 90min before I react, even when Chelsea beat city during there champions league final I almost get high BP, since then I don't panic.

Sccarrr:

Is that an excuse for not winning today?

Man united, i understand. Chelsea, forget. The rich abramovich made them great and he is gone now. That club is completely washed now..

I’ve been following Arsenal for about the same amount of time, so I understand how frustrating and disappointing it’s been over the years. But there’s nothing quite like that “nearly” syndrome, we also need to be realistic with ourselves.
When Arteta took over Arsenal, look at the calibre of players he inherited. He’s had to overhaul almost the entire squad, but without the kind of budget that teams like United, Chelsea, and even City have been spending in a single season , we spent what Chelsea spent in 2years in 5years....
City, for example, spent nearly £100 million just to strengthen the squad in January again, we couldn't spend a penny🥺,and they have been pretty at our back ever since ,and they’re reportedly planning to spend another £200 million in the next transfer window. Can Arsenal realistically match that?

smokinloud:
Saka, Odegaard and Timber are not just three regular players. They're Arteta main guys.

we only missed odegaard sincerely.

callmetade:
Banter crew dey entice me

LOL I can't can pleeeease

How market Mr man

press9jatv:
Victory for Arsenal in this game

How market¿ Quadruple funny people

Peacecore:
Is Harvetz not on the pitch?

I don't know why Arteta keep on playing Havertz? Arteta is wicked. He just want to frustrate Arsenal fans

Exactly what i am saying, arsenal do not have that quality to compete with City. It would have been great for them to do it this season as they almost did but with the situation now, they can't. The big money city having reinforced in january will win the league again.

so if Mancity win the league again, it's only cause they were able to spend and reinforce in January and Arsenal couldn't match the spending......so how is Arsenal a bad team ?
