Yeah I never really had the most faith in Arteta's man management. Not sure what he's telling the likes of Tierney/Nelson/ESR and Ramsdale now. Let's be real Southgate never really favoured Ramsdale in the first place and is a joke of a 'manager'. If a club comes in with a sizeable offer for Ramsdale (40m+) then i'd take it, but I also think we don't sign Raya but sign a better keeper altogether. Arteta is stubborn though so who knows. Somewhere in his delusion he thinks Havertz and Nketiah are performing great..

I don't want Tottenham to do well and think Ange is an over rated media darling, but I would love for them to carry on their run with all of their current injuries/players out as a proving point to Arteta as well as the fans that you can still get it right without your best XI available. You also don't need 4 years for a ******* process too that has still yet to deliver.

If Trossard is injured, can we finally play Havertz as a false 9...

Do we Miss Odegaard? Not really

Until we actually win at Old Trafford, Etihad, Anfield, Toilet Bowl, Stamford Bridge (x), St James Park (x) you can forget about the title. I do not see a team that has moved forward in that respect. All good praising the away record but those games are worth 18 points, that is where the title is won and lost and we are nowhere near.

Last season we won at both Stamford Bridge and St James Park. Against this City side you need to make up for not winning at those grounds this season, by winning at the other big away grounds I have mentioned above. It's not going to happen, not with what I am watching.

To be fair took a while for Klopps Liverpool to win those sorts of big games away. But you're right, not winning those games usually means you come up short in a title race, as you have to show a huge amount of consistency against smaller sides to make up for it.

We could have not dropped points to Brighton at home, West Ham and Southampton and we’d of had a chance. Of the 18 points you mentioned we gained 10/18 which is not the worst return away. We should have really won the game vs Chelsea this year though which has already hurt us.

And as I’ve mentioned before, Arteta had already hit his ceiling

Found Zurich in the Arsenal top at Waterloo Station yesterday.

Your strikers are shite and Havertz is shite outside of playing as a 9.

Why don't you know just play him up top where he's semi useful.

Because Nketiah is a better goalscorer.

We haven't beat Man City at the Etihad in the league for years..

No dog in that fight but its interesting that a handful of guys get such a spotlight and yet the literally hundreds of thousands marching down the road with more than questionable views on fundamental issues, like democracy for instance, get scarecely a mention with the bien pensants of Highgate Hill. I guess its easier to live in denial at the society they are directly responsible for and just tut tut at the likes in that video. But I do wonder if their views would change when their numbers are perhaps 3 million ? I fully expect them to keep rolling their eyes but their heads fully buried in the sand.

I joke a lot but you're right, look at places like Rochdale, just overrun with gangs and people that don't tolerate any views that differ from their own.

At the game tomorrow, 3 points is what we need.

it'll be tough. Wolves are a tough gig and O'Neill is the best up and coming manager in England.

But I expect to win 2-0. We're in form

Havertz hasn't been half awful these past few games. Hope we see more of it

Fairplay to Arteta tbh, we have not been fluid at all up until now but with all the injuries and experimentation, we're still top of the table. An out of form City play an in form Villa soon so that might give us a chance to extend our lead even further. We've got Anfield coming up soon as well as Villa away too. 4/6 points needed minimum from those fixtures for us to stay in the race.

Been telling y'all you'll win the title.

Ok Gary Neville

Liverpool still have as much of a chance with it and City will fire once KDB comes back tbh.

I hope we can reach CL semi's at least. Won't be annoyed one bit if we were knocked out by Madrid.
