Arsenal’s to lose
There comes a time in every premier league season, where if the leaders don’t win, it’s because they F’d it.
We’ve now reached that point. 8 point lead, City on patchy form, Arsenal flying. It’s theirs to lose. Don’t win from here and you’ll always look back with immense regret.
For the record, I hope you don’t mess it up. Would far rather see arsenal champions than City. Good luck to you Gunners. Don’t F it from here.

What can we reflect on from that NLD? From an Arsenal point of view that first half was the most one sided NLD I can recall in recent memory, Arsenal took control and deserved both goals. This Arsenal team is simply man for man technically far superior to Spurs. But that only gets you so far in derby games, you have to be physical, work hard and have an intensity in your play and Arsenal beat spurs in every one of those departments as well. Spurs improved after the break but it was all about keeping them at arms length which Arsenal did comfortably.
Now on to more unsavoury things. Clearly to everyone (except Richard Keys – more on him in a minute) thinks it’s a disgrace that a fan kicked or aimed a kick at Ramsdale. If you get that angry at a football game that that is your action you need to see someone and consider your priorities in life. However don’t overlook the role Richarlison plays in it, needlessly pushing and shoving Ramsdale as he goes to collect his water bottle – it’s hard to think of a more unlikeable player in the league, well suited to the team he plays for.
Now on to Richard Keys, in his comments about the incident he blames Ramsdale, blames Ben White (?) and finally comes round to his obsession by blaming the chief antagoniser with his touchline actions, and Keys enemy No. 1 Arteta. That’s right, Keys blamed Arteta for a fan kicking Ramsdale. At first I thought Keys’ regular rants at Arteta (won’t someone get that man to stay in his technical area!!!) was some attempt to become relevant again, but it is an unhealthy obsession now – and actually it has become potentially dangerous and could incite trouble as more and more knuckle staggers listen to…
