Well done boys. This one was going to be tough and we found a way. Seven more games.
WHU managed to hold off City
Agent Mavropanos gets us another cushion! Wenger has done it again
I will be rocking MC Hammer in my car for a few days!
9 point clear. 7 games left
If Arsenal win 5 of the 7, City have to win 8 of 8 and win on goal differential.
If we can get a result against them, the race is basically over. With our defense, I think we get at least a point.
🚨 PREMIER LEAGUE! 🏴

He's inevitable from there.
And Liverpool are inevitable at rolling over for every other team in the league but us lol
Slow down a bit…
⭐️ "He's obviously special!"

Yeah, just enjoy watching the kid play and don't try to predict how good he'll be.
Pretty wild that we have nearly a month till our next PL match. Hopefully City have that sense of despair sink in staring at that 9 point lead (Even if I still consider it a 6 pt lead because of their match in hand).
Still a huge week ahead of us.
Have to get the win against Leverkusen tomorrow to advance in the CL.
And then the Cup Final against City. I still think this match can play a massive role in the title race. Whoever wins this is gonna get a huge boost in confidence. Really need us to punch them in the face.

I agree best to think of it as 6 points. Need to keep up the pressure and force city to be perfect.
Timber and Odegaard both still out for tomorrow.
Geesh.
Max Dowman was born just one day after this Arsenal team beat Portsmouth 4-1. Feel old? 🤯 pic.twitter.com/GjRZB9E7ew

I hate this. I really freaking hate this…
This just pisses me off. Sure I would like us to play a prettier game but when most teams just park the bus you have to do what it takes.

Quote:
Arsenal have scored 21 goals from set pieces in the Premier League this season -- more than any other team in Europe's top five leagues. That total for 34.4% of their league goals. Before this season, Blackburn Rovers (1994-95) and Manchester United (2007-08) recorded the most set piece goals as champions with 35% each.
lol we wouldn't even be the champion that has the highest % of goals from set pieces. If I had believed the press this season I would think our % had at least doubled the record.
This is a really stupid passage. "Team A and Team B scored the same percentage of their goals from set pieces but Team B definitely was not reliant on them because the names on the back of their jerseys."
And before anyone asks, United scored 80 league goals that year and we are on pace for 75. United scored 52 goals from "open play", while we are on pace for 49.

Sir Alex Ferguson's United won the Premier League and Champions League that season with a forward line of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez, so they were anything but overreliant on goals from set pieces. Arsenal don't have a Ronaldo, Rooney or Tevez, however, and that might go some way to explaining why Arteta's team focuses so heavily on set piece goals.

Arguably one of the most important goals of the season; Does not happen without Raya + Gabriel taking a risk in build-up instead of booting it up long

The narrative right now is 1000% media bias.
- Years ago they gave us crap when we played "pretty ball" because we got pushed around. Now we push other teams around and we get called bullies and accused of playing "ugly ball.
- We are criticized for an over reliance on set piece goals yet we currently lead the league in total goals and are 2nd in open play goals. Pool on the other hand are on a streak where 7 of their last 9 goals have been from set pieces and they are tactical geniuses.

It's 100% that and there's zero reason to pay attention to it as fans of the team getting dumped on.
It's just clicks and hatred from opposing fans.
I like this one
And yet this season that same PSG group of 5 has scored 54 goals instead of 99. PSG has only scored 94 goals this season while Arsenal have scored 104.
We were only the 3rd team to cross the 100 goal mark when we beat Mansfield after Bayern and Barcelona

In Europe, over the past decade, Real Madrid have had Ronaldo, Karim Benzama, Vini Jr and Mbappe, while PSG won the Champions League last season with Dembele, Goncalo Ramos, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Doue and Barcola scoring 99 goals between them in all competitions.
