Better them than City, can't afford to let City open up a gap.

I wouldn't be sure about that. Leicester making a bit of statement here today.

Another useful stick to beat Wenger up with.

If we can just scrape 3 points tomorrow imagine the lift we'd get by beating Leicester.

You cant use Leicester as an excuse for why arsenal should have won the league. Its a Freak thing. They are there on merit but its ridiculous to base criticism of another team on it. Otherwise every team that has taken part in qny league and not won it has failed

In fairness he has had unlimited time and huge funds to build a team which should be capable of winning the league his season, and I'm only talking about this season.

Should be no excuses if we don't win it.

We shall see.

Haven't thought about it like that. A cause for optimism

Come on, if Leicester were to win the league it would make Wenger and the club look like fools. Liverpool, Spurs etc too for that matter but I only care about Arsenal.

But every time City or Chelsea were winning the league, Wenger was excused because of the oil money. So its fair game if Leicester win the league imo. Still dont think they will though.

The only thing I agree with is that there should be no excuses. No excuses because this year was his chance, and I feel like he didn't take it by the balls by signing one or two world class players, for any cost.

He hasn't had unlimited time and huge funds to buy a title winning team. Until a few seasons ago, we were selling off our best players.

This is the first time this season where according to this guy, Leicester have a good chance of the title. Up until now, they've been major outsiders Still has us as favourites, but next week is massive.

Every game is massive. Imagine we got more than 3 points from the last 4 games.

Yeah true, but a massive 6 pointer against Leicester. Lose to Leicester and they would be at least 8 points ahead of us. Our next two matches are probably the most important of the season so far!

What Leicester have done this season is fabulous miraculous even and is what makes football such a wonderful sport.

Meanwhile the Arsenal thread uses it to knock it's manager.

Talk about take the joy out of things.

Arsenal will finish exactly where they are now. Don't kid yourselves

We're currently in 4th, 8 points behind Leicester ffs. Let that sink in. Do you expect this place to be full of positivity and confidence??

It's not over by a long shot. this place could be booming again after we beat Leicester. Or your worst nightmare if we lose!!

But for years we have been told we cant win the league because we cant compete financially with City, Chelsea and United. So to see Leicester storm to a 6 point lead while its the same old with us, its hard to take. Its also hard to believe and accept that we are playing and being managed to our maximum potential.

jester77 · 06-02-2016 03:23PM

Leicester have a nice run of games until May, next week is a must win for us. Their last 3 games are tough especially given the circumstances, hard to know how they will deal with pressure, we need to be as close as possible come May.

emmetlego · 06-02-2016 03:46PM

If Spurs win today, they go 2nd! They are not being spoken about by too many either! They're well in the mix IMO.

extra gravy · 06-02-2016 04:00PM

Wonder would Leicester take a swap in the summer...Walcott for Mahrez?!

Too many high paid players that are not performing to their "supposed" level

And being allowed to get away with it. If Wenger would spend more time on the training ground with them ironing out problems instead of giving t.v. interviews and opinions on everything we might be even higher than Leicester now.
We still rarely beat the first man at corners.
And that's nothing to do with Leicester at all.

Hyzepher · 06-02-2016 04:18PM

We really need a win tomorrow and a Spurs draw/loss to day would also help
