1/3 of all games played and it seems Arsenal, Man. City and Liverpool are very close not only on where they are at the table, but also regarding performances throughout the 13 games.
Do you think this will be a tight race all the way to May?
If not which team do you expect to fall out of the title race and why?
(fair to say Villa and Spurs are also up there but IMO both lack squad depth and cannot see them as title challengers come May)
I will totally agree with this statement as an Arsenal fan except for one tiny little detail. I don’t think we actually looked imperious. I’ve been following the club for 40 odd years and it was obviously an astonishingly good start but it always felt like city was going to catch us.
The only time I felt like I needed to celebrate a little bit was right before the fall. I knew we had our injuries and we lacked a depth and we were still like nine points clear but we had two more games against City and another bunch of tough fixtures. I didn’t think it was going to be as bad as it was when we fell apart but I did not think we were as good as our point total showed 3/4 of the way through the season.
But yeah, city is very likely to stop dropping points sometime after Christmas and then Liverpool and Arsenal and anybody else who’s still hanging around will do our absolute best to stay close but realistically fall short.
When you look at the players they got rid of and then look at how some of the young guys are stepping up this year, they are just a juggernaut. Beautiful football. I just hate how they got there.
