If Arsenal win the Premier League this season, it will be a better achievement than Leicester City’s triumph in 2016. There is also praise for Newcastle United’s sh*thousery in their huge win against Chelsea, while Spurs are told they are pretty much Brazil.

Arsenal title greater than Leicester
F#$k what the odds makers say, what the pundits say, what the fans will say and what F365 will have you believe. If Arsenal beat this City team to the PL title, it will be a bigger upset than what Leicester did.
And not to disrespect that 2016 miracle, but back then 72 points would have won Leicester the title and all the real contenders were having a funk. This year is not the same, this well oiled mean City machine with that warhammer of Haaland up top is not like Guardiola’s first City team. There was no Goliath that season, this year is the biggest of them all.
And Arsenal are very much a David. Despite their Big 6 credentials, they were unquestionably the laggards in this group and the most likely to drop out. No reasonable analyst gave them any chance of title challenge, and barely anyone for top 3. (Just look up F365’s predictions). And not to mention that they are doing this while also navigating a European campaign, something Leicester didn’t have to.
Don’t let the revisionists get you to accept the narrative. The script was written for City and Haaland, but life rarely follows one.

As Arsenal fans have complained a lot about refereeing decisions against us in recent times, I think it’s only fair to point out that I am baffled by the decision to not award a penalty against Saliba in the Wolves match, and utterly incredulous that VAR barely looked at it. I just don’t understand.
Also, the early winners article on Arsenal suggests that Arsenal fans are not getting carried away out of fear of implosion. I think that’s a part of it but I think it’s a lot more pragmatic than that. Our first 11 is excellent but our squad is light. Had we kept struggling to get a goal against Wolves, for example, our options to change the game would have been to bring on Reiss Nelson, Nketiah or Marquinhos. If we can manage to add a couple of quality additions to the squad in January then I think people will be a lot more optimistic.

Great team performance with some uncharacteristic…
