This Arsenal side will be as memorable as the Liverpool runners-up of 2001/02 unless they do something next.

It’s not failure to come second v this City
Overperforming is probably not the word most would use after a 4-1 drubbing, but I think this Arsenal team has been overperforming all season. When the wheels should have come off, Jesus’ injury, they didn’t. It was only in the final furlong, when the pressure for this young squad became too much. Losing Saliba was massive, and it proved that we still don’t have the strength in depth you need to push this amazing City side.
Personally, considering the lead we had, the results against Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton killed us. City just landed the knockout blow. I hope the squad can regroup, go into the final games with less pressure, and play their football. Congrats to City, three in a row is an amazing achievement, and personally, I hope you get your treble. If only to boil the piss of United fans. I hope Liverpool fans look back to their league win and see what an amazing achievement that was.
At the end of the season, only one team can win the league. That doesn’t make everyone else failures. I doubt Brighton see this season as a failure. I doubt Newcastle do either. I don’t think Arsenal will look back at this as failure, instead as another step in the process.

Oh Nostrastewmus!
Ye of faultless 4-1 bets in madlad WhatsApp groups, successor unto Captain Hindsight, smiter of imaginary Arsenal fans and their invented opinions – teach us thine ways so that we too may be satisfied only with trophies and never with the twin evils of progress and enjoyment.
Spaff enough predictions into a mailbox and a few will come right, but Stewie doesn’t get to gloat whilst conveniently ignoring the duffers:
– predicting Arteta would never win a game at White Hart Lane
– predicting an Anfield ‘thrashing’
– claiming ‘Antonio Conte’s brilliance as a manager is going to expose the myth of Arteta’ (ha!)
– saying Spurs will be City’s closest challengers (!)
– seeing after 10 minutes that Mudryk (0 goals, 2 assists) is a ‘phenomenal’ talent
– predicting Arsenal won’t finish within 10 points of City (ok, this is still possible I grant)
To be clear, I’m disappointed with Arsenal’s performances in the last four games. A win against West Ham…
