Arsenal Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 25/26

It's all there for ye, the league is more or less done, City are going to continue to drop points, so the pressure will be off. League Cup I think ye can bully City, they are not the team they were a few years ago, but, in a one off game anything can happen. Champions League, ye have a kind draw, should get over Leverkusen, have a very good chance to get to final, Barca the main obstacle, but, I'd make Arsenal favourites to dominate them physically, hard to know who'll get through from the other side, Madrid and PSG most likely, Madrid just know how to win CL, so a massive danger. The FA cup, another kind draw, so should get to the semi finals. Also if ye can tie up the league early, ye will be able to fully concentrate on the cup competitions.

Will be difficult of course, but, things are falling nicely for Arsenal, kind draws in CL and FA cup, City's title challenge running out of steam, momentum is on your side now, unlikely to be in this kind of position again (going so deep in all 4 competitions), so make the most of it and enjoy, it can turn very quickly!

Im quietly confident but the league is not done in any way. Most commentators are saying its going to probably take between 88-92 points to win the league this year.

And theres a lot of football in between to be played. Heres our run in:

The City game is the big danger game for both team as its potentially a 6 pointer game if we win.

West Ham is still a long way off, but have hit very good form at home and fighting relegation.

But hopefully we will have the league won (or can win it) for our last home game against Burnley. Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.

Edit: amended fixtures

Bang on. I had that figure stuck in my head from a few weeks back, but City unexpectedly dropped points 2 games in a row.

Just to be pedantic, if City win all their remaining games then 5 wins for Arsenal leaves both on 85 so that wouldn't guarantee anything either.

nah, its on this Saturday.

I reckon we will smash them 6 0

who’s playing wolves Sunday ?

if city get knocked out of CL then there’s a chance their game in hand, home v palace will be brought forward so at least can get that out of the way and stop having to consider the game in hand all the time

yes of course, forgot to mention that

Yeah I kinda want Man City to get through their tie with Real Madrid. Would actually like them to get to the semi final and then get knocked out. More fixtures for them the better and I agree with Batistuta about the game in hand working in our favour. The bigger the gap the better for as long as we can.

big week & for some reason I've a feeling of the second half of the Wenger years about it

Also City have potential for 3 matches to be rearranged still…. us two games.

There are league games on the same time as FA Cups semis and final.

If we get through tonight and beat the Saints it could be an insane run of games until end May

city to go through and ourselves to win and do the same is clearly the best outcome
